I’d be satisfied if all 3 went to prison because senior heads have to roll. Of course Obummer will slide the way he has his whole life but Mr. NoLegacy will now be known as worse than Nixon. He’s forever tainted as a scandal plagued sociopath.
“...ought to (but won’t) cause serious damage to Obama’s legacy.”
He has one?
...but then is changes from “US Person” to “US Official.”
Before/after the election?
Ben Rhodes’ brother works for CBS and Susan Rice’s husband works for ABC...not sure we’ll see anything out of THEM on this subject.
NBC is also a lost cause as is CNN and MSNBC.
We know there was a theoretical pipeline between the intelligence agencies and Clinton's campaign. I want to see that Clinton and her "research assistants" accessed classified unmasked documents after she left government.
Thanks for asking this question. I had the same question.
By 2013, Obama’s PDB was making its way to more than 30 recipients, including the president’s top strategic communications aide and speechwriter, and deputy secretaries of national security departments.
Speechwriter? Deputies? Farkas?
Who?
Did each and every one of the more than 30 recipients have the proper security clearances to handle such sensitive information?
How many of these recipients were foreign born?
Zero Foreign Born should allowed to handle, see and read as you noted, "Such Sensitive Information"!
Who did these people share this sensitive information, and did those people have proper clearances?
Finally, how was this sensitive information stored after they received it?
In Clinton's servers or Weiner's illegal laptop?
From a tweet to where we are now is great!
So...while the docs they receive, daily, mask names with “US Person”, she then refers to the notion the periodically “it was necessary to find out or request, who that U.S. official was.”
Why would she default to ‘U.S. official’???
Methinks she inadvertently spilled the proverbial beans.
You ever try the oatmeal at County?
lol
No she can't just request. It has to be a FISA request to a FISA court containing what national security reason for the request.
My guess is that Andrea did not ask her if All these were done via FISA according to the law.
Notice, too, the little tapdance, changing “U.S. Person” to “U.S. Official”. In truth, a U.S. Official would be suspected to be someone connected to the government in some capacity. Donald Trump, and his team are, in no way, a U.S. Official until the day he was sworn in as President so he and his people SHOULD have been accorded all the privacy rights of an ordinary citizens, not a government entity.
Granted, as far as I know, the government has the right to unmask *anyone* that they believe poses a security risk but any person who is unmasked at the request of the White House needs to be listed in a FISA document, not just a random security request.
Wonder no more, he won't.
This is nothing more than Susan Rice setting up a claim of “Executive Privilege” when she is called before Congress. Nothing more. Obama doesn’t have to say anything and, now, neither does Susan.
The PDB is not some voluminous document. The President is a busy man and the providers do all in their power to encompass what must be said in as few paragraphs as possible. And unless times have changed under Obama the elements that provide input rarely if ever make reference to US citizens. That is not its purpose. For Rice to even infer that she was doing some follow-up on the PDB is insane. As the Prex rep if there was some question as to the input she could call the provider and get the information she needed. The woman is now digging herself a deeper and deeper hole.
yes he has greed for power but the lure of a tropical island with 150 other men was too much to resist
No, it’s more convoluted and damning than that.
zer0 rarely got his PDB _in person_. Instead, he received it via text....which went to 30 other officials. No question Hillary got it and with the media/administration relationships, so did the press.
If the “US person” is, as she says, a “US official,” then it’s not Trump as he held no office until January 20. So who was it she had unmasked?
