For months, people have been openly wondering who is the real power behind the throne in the Biden administration? Who is really running the country?
We now know who is calling the shots when it comes to their policy on the border. Word is that former Obama security adviser Susan Rice is calling the tune on border issues.
Additionally, members of Biden’s team must have been looking at polling on immigration and the border, because they have formed a circular firing squad over the issues.
Axios reported:
Infighting broke out among those on Biden’s team.
Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice emerged as a central — and controversial — coordinator of the administration’s approach to the border. Some officials found her needlessly combative and disagreed with her policy-wise. But even many of her critics credit her with taking on more responsibility on the border at a time when most other top Biden officials were shying away from it. There was — and still is — deep animosity toward Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra for what was seen as his reluctance to find more space in child migrant shelters, which are overseen by HHS, according to several sources familiar with the dynamics. Rice referred to Becerra as a “bitch-ass” and privately called him an “idiot,” according to multiple sources. During one meeting when Biden was tearing into Becerra, Rice passed Mayorkas a note that read: “Don’t save him,” according to two people familiar with the meeting. Rice also clashed repeatedly with Sherwood-Randall and had tension with Vice President Harris, according to people familiar with the dynamics.
Infighting like this is not a good sign for Biden’s campaign. People start pointing fingers like this when they’re losing.
NEW: Brutal new reporting from @axios in article titled “How Biden Botched the Border”.
– Biden exploded w/ rage at his team aboard AF1 on the way to border last year. – Susan Rice called HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra a “bitch ass”& “idiot”. – VP Harris’ team made it clear her…

Would anyone be surprised if we learn that Susan Rice has been in charge of other issues? Wouldn’t it make sense?
p
Susan Rice ... hmmm ... wasn’t she involved in the Bengazi disaster???
After the coming terrorist attacks perhaps that will be a more viable suggestion.
Hell is coming and Christopher Wray just briefed the Sheriffs of America about it. Terrorist attacks are coming.
This press conference with Butler, Ohio County Sheriff Rick Jones
Everybody needs to watch, download, share, and make sure you are prepared.
“Susan Rice ... hmmm ... wasn’t she involved in the Bengazi disaster”???
As I remember, she stuck with the story that the attacks were triggered by a video. She lied her sorry azz off and stuck with it.
Valerie Jarrett is also involved in all the treachery.
Susan Rice has verrrry dirty hands; Guided and installed by Obama in HIS Cabinet, she completes the “...Fundamental Transformation of America...” , Obamas Mantra. Trump should hammer this and the present Results in an ALL his future advertising.
Obama is running the country through Susan Rice in the White House.
Rice could very well be the dem nominee. Michelle doesn’t want it, and Rice will do anything to help Obama. Problem is her numbers are about the same as Kamala’s.
I was raised by those who won WW 1 and 2.
I won’t pray for leaders like we now have.
CBS News Source: Susan Rice Asked For ‘Unmasking’ Of Trump Advisers
April 4, 2017 / 5:36 PM EDT / CBS New York
WASHINGTON (CBSNewYork/AP) — A top Obama national security adviser said it’s “absolutely false’’ that the previous administration used intelligence about President Donald Trump’s associates for political purposes.
A source close to former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice confirmed to CBS News that Rice had asked for names of the Trump team to be unmasked to her after seeing them referenced in intelligence briefs.
Identities of U.S. civilians caught in U.S. intelligence are usually concealed or masked, CBS2’s Dick Brennan reported.
“There’s a troubling direction that some of this is going in,” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said, adding the focus should be on Obama administration leaks. “The deputy assistant secretary for defense of Russian Affairs said very publicly that this was part of an attempt of the Obama administration to spread classified information.”
As national security adviser it was within Rice’s authority to request unmasking of names, although the source says Rice did not ask that the names be distributed through the intelligence community as members of the Trump White House continue to allege.
Rice said it was sometimes necessary for her to request the identity of Americans whose communications were swept up in intelligence reports. She says the requests would only be made for national security purposes.
Rice, in an interview on MSNBC, would not say whether she had viewed intelligence involving Trump and his aides. She said that information is classified.
She said that as National Security Adviser she would sometimes ask for identities of U.S. civilians caught up in foreign surveillance, but it had nothing to do with politics.
“There is no equivalence between the so-called unmasking and leaking. The effort to ask for the identity of an American citizen is necessary to understand an intelligence report in some instances,” she said.
Rice also denied that she leaked information to the press, saying “I leaked nothing to nobody.’’
In the meantime, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) says he will move to end an expected filibuster by Democrats of the nomination to the Supreme Court of Neil Gorsuch. McConnell has said he will seek a vote on the so-called “nuclear option” to change Senate rules and confirm Gorsuch with a simple majority.
“It should be unsettling to everyone that our colleagues across the aisle have brought the Senate to this new low, and on such an impressive nominee with such broad bipartisan support,” McConnell said.
Democrats said they won’t take the blame if Republicans do with the nuclear option.
“Every time int he history of this country that a Supreme Court nominee has failed to earn the necessary votes to pass the Senate, the answer has been to change the nominee, not the rules,” Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said.
On Tuesday, President Trump was out on the stump talking to a trade group, and repeating a campaign slogan.
“I don’t want to be president of the world. I am President of the United States, and from now on it’s going to be America first,” he said.
It appears if things unfold as expected a final Senate vote on Gorsuch would come on Friday.

Well no kidding, Obama has been this guy’s handler from the jump, that explains the chaos that has been intentionally cultivated.
She’s just following Obama’s orders to TRANSFORM AMERICA into a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY with NO BORDERS!! A CHOCOLATE COUNTRY!
Rice,always has been,
Always will be a real piece of crap.
Rice and Obamas entire coven are still in place and calling the shots. Biden has been reduced to a pathetic puppet.
Sadly the FBI has just enough manpower to see there are attacks (stemming from JoeB’s policy of allowing invaders into our country by the millions), but not enough to do anything about it, since all their manpower is focused on the active terrorism of conservatives & parents.
That spider is always there in the background, spreading her evil.
Rice has been wrong on every subject she has been involved in since the 1990s when she let Osama Bin Laden skate from the Sudan.
Susan Rice the moron is still hiding in the White House
You mean the Susan Rice that helped Obama weaponize the feds just hours before leaving office and has been in the WH under biden and taking orders from Barry? That one?
Seems Obozo has his people on the Marxist Dems sidelines making Bidens decisions.
