Do you suspect that the noise over Trump campaign contacts with the Russians is just a political hit arranged by Obama insiders before they left? You got fresh evidence of that Monday, with news that then-national security adviser Susan Rice was behind the “unmasking” of Trumpites in transcripts of calls with Russian officials.
Again, nothing on the public record so far shows that anyone on Team Trump said anything improper on those calls.
It’s no surprise that US spooks intercept foreign officials’ calls. But intelligence community reports don’t disclose the names of US citizens on the other end. To get that info, a high official must (but rarely does) push to “unmask” the Americans’ names.
Bloomberg’s Eli Lake now reports that Rice started doing just that last year.
That was perfectly legal. But we also know that the Obama administration later changed the classification of the “unmasked” transcripts, and other similar material, in order to spread the information as widely as possible within the government.
The motive for that was (supposedly) to prevent Team Trump from burying it all once it took over. But the result was that it made it relatively safe for someone (or someones) to leak the info to the press. Which made it likely somebody would leak. So Team Obama’s “spread the info” initiative certainly broke the spirit of the laws.

They are about to transition into their new jobs.
Sure hope their student loans are paid in full.

NOTE: Let’s understand. what’s going on here (story below). Obama colluded with Hillary to hide State Dept documents. But the unspoken reason for this unheard of deletion, appropriation and illegal conversion of govt documents is to COVER-UP Obama’s part in some horrendous activities. (1) The secret billion dollar Iran deal that included pallets of cash and gold bars....(2) the uranium deal, and, (3) the State Dept’s Muslim Engagement activities....(as just three examples) undermines the safety and security of Americans and their families. More than likely, hidden in these documents are Obama’s transmitting billions of tax dollars to his pals.....some very dangerous foreign despots. Note that the documents taken are listed by pathological liar Hillary......AND IS TOTALLY UNVERIFIABLE.

Makes me wonder how much of the $6 billion missing from hildabeast state dept “Contractors Fund” went to barrack hussein bin soetoro’s contractors???
Cutting that $6 billion had to be a major cat fight between the xlintonistas & jihadi jarrett.
Yes, terrorists kill a few dozen people a year. That is sad and infuriating. I wish we could stop them.
But my government can destroy my life, deprive me of freedom, rob me of money and the fruit of my labor, seize my property, invade my privacy for nefarious reasons, and overall tyranize me.
I will take the Terrorist over the Tyrant any day.
Needs repeating.
Precisely. And at least thugs get policed and punished? Who watches the government? Nobody. They are the top of the food chain, with absolute power.
My post is a year old, but it will always be true.
I still believe Hillary was behind this whole Russia blaming. Like Al Gore in 200 she just couldn’t find it within herself to concede gracefully.
