Obama Advisor Susan Rice’s Unmasking Material is at the Obama Library

Supreme Court to Hear Big Case Against Proposed Wisconsin Redistricting
Your Judicial Watch performed a massive public service this week. We exposed how key Obama spying scandal documents, including the infamous Susan Rice unmasking records, were moved to the Obama Presidential Library.
The National Security Council (NSC) informed us by letter on May 23, 2017, that the materials regarding the unmasking by Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice of “the identities of any U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team” have been removed to the Obama Library.
The NSC will not fulfill our April 4 request for records regarding information relating to people “who were identified pursuant to intelligence collection activities.”
The agency also informed us that it would not turn over communications with any intelligence community member or agency concerning the alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election; the hacking of DNC computers; or the suspected communications between Russia and Trump campaign/transition officials. Specifically, the NSC told us:
Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act , Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.
Our April 4 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request sought:
1.) Any and all requests for information, analyses, summaries, assessments, transcripts, or similar records submitted to any Intelligence Community member agency or any official, employee, or representative thereof by former National Security Advisor Susan Rice regarding, concerning, or related to the following:
- Any actual or suspected effort by the Russian government or any individual acting on behalf of the Russian government to influence or otherwise interfere with the 2016 presidential election.
- The alleged hacking of computer systems utilized by the Democratic National Committee and/or the Clinton presidential campaign.
- Any actual or suspected communication between any member of the Trump presidential campaign or transition team and any official or employee of the Russian government or any individual acting on behalf of the Russian government.
- The identities of U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team who were identified pursuant to intelligence collection activities.
2.) Any and all records or responses received by former National Security Advisor Susan Rice and/or any member, employee, staff member, or representative of the National Security Council in response to any request described in part 1 of this request.
3.) Any and all records of communication between any official, employee, or representative of the Department of any Intelligence Community member agency and former National Security Advisor Susan Rice and/or any member, employee, staff member, or representative of the National Security Council regarding, concerning, or related to any request described in Part 1 of this request.
The time frame for this request was January 1, 2016, to April 4, 2017.
While acknowledging in its FOIA request that “we are cognizant of the finding by the Court of Appeals … that [the NSC] “does not exercise sufficiently independent authority to be an ‘agency’ for purposes of the Freedom of Information Act,” we argued:
The records sought in this request pertain to actions by the former National Security Advisor that demonstrate a much higher degree of independent authority than was contemplated by the court; specifically, the issuance of directives to the Intelligence Community related to the handling of classified national security information…
The recent revelations of the role of Susan Rice in the unmasking the names of U.S. citizens identified in the course of intelligence collection activities and the potential that her actions contributed to the unauthorized disclosure of classified national security information are matters of great public interest.
We have filed six FOIA lawsuits related to the surveillance, unmasking, and illegal leaking targeting President Trump and his associates (see here , here , here , here , here and here ).
Prosecutors, Congress, and the public will want to know when the National Security Council shipped off the records about potential intelligence abuses by Susan Rice and others in the Obama White House to the memory hole of the Obama Presidential Library. We are considering our legal options, but we hope that the Special Counsel and Congress also consider their options and get these records.
As noted, the records could be squirreled away from the public for at least five years, but there are ways they can be obtained almost immediately under law. The exceptions to Obama Library records restricted access are as follows:
“subject to any rights, defenses, or privileges which the United States or any agency or person may invoke, Presidential records shall be made available–
(A) pursuant to subpoena or other judicial process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction for the purposes of any civil or criminal investigation or proceeding;
(B) to an incumbent President if such records contain information that is needed for the conduct of current business of the incumbent President’s office and that is not otherwise available; and
(C) to either House of Congress, or, to the extent of matter within its jurisdiction, to any committee or subcommittee thereof if such records contain information that is needed for the conduct of its business and that is not otherwise available;
You can see that both President Trump and Congress can quickly get ahold of these records. As JW considers it legal options, they should both move quickly to preserve, protect, and disclose the Obama spying scandal documents to JW and the American people.
They are destroying any records as we speak—guranteed. The Republicans are so slow and might I say stupid. This should have already been taken care of.
Bush refused to prosecute Clinton, Now Trump is doing the same for Obama and his minions and the clintons, the protection force is strong in the WH.
But, they will prosecute the hell out of any Republican on anything they can think up in their demented minds. Republicans still don’t get this.
Perfect
DC, home of the lawless and treasonous, accepting some. Obama and Clintons: masters of them all and high priests of evil.
The Obama gang doing this is an admission that they were doing something improper with the unmasking.
They think they are being clever pushing any disclosure past the 2020 election, but we will see.
They tried to be cute concealing what the Russians were supposed to be doing in the election - and it probably cost them then, and it is costing them now.
They are getting caught up by their own evil schemes.
maybe the Russians can help Susan Rice find her records.
“Anybody have a pic of the place?”
It really was a tragic fire...all those papers lost to history forever.
I am repeating... If Trump and Sessions are the only ones playing by the rules ... they will be lose.
obama and his ilk... ALL of them... play hard ball.. the hardest hard ball ever. Just go over the past 8 years ... he’s managed to get all the departments that he needed to cover/lie for him in any situation... the lawless president.. ran rings around our Constitution and our laws. He brought into his administration, enemies of our country, to do his bidding. There is no low he would not stoop to.
IF Sessions or Trump do not get smart and realize who the enemy is and what they are capable of, they will outdo/outsmart/trick/lie/ their way out of all this like they have before, and they still have the media at their beck and call...
The corruption is still in those departments... Trump and Sessions have not drained that swamp yet.. and God only knows why. Maybe Trump isn’t as brassy brave as he pretended to be.. and a little afraid to rock the boat any more than it’s already been rocked by comey and all the lies they used for months.. The truth is just now coming out on the dems and russia... and it’s time to fire the whole lot of them before they concoct another story... we know the intelligence agencies are willing to use their place and power to try to destroy our President .. It’s time for Trump to assert the power of the office of the President of the United States!
What are you waiting for, Mr. President!!! Drain that swamp!!
Some atty on Fox said all Trump has to do is request all the material that has been sent to Obama on the unmasking & supposedly hidden away for 5 years. Said Trump will get it all by requesting it.
I hope this is true! Can anyone confirm?
Interesting.....we shall see.
#1 Obstruction of a criminal investigation
#2 Criminal Facilitation
#3 Conspiracy to thwart Congressional criminal investigation
#4 So bothersome that even ' PreperationH ' can't cure it !
Old listing before the National Archives leased for storage and processing Obama’s papers. Listing photos diminish the expanse of the property as shot with wide angle optics. Street views from maps, gives a better feel to the size of the property in which more than a hundred personnel allegedly work.

There is none,the records are being held in the National Archives.
Therefore I suggest Trump locate Sandy Berger and hire him,just give Bill and Hillary if you have a problem locating him,he will probably need loose fitting underwear and socks for this haul
“I suggest Trump locate Sandy Berger and hire him”
Maybe Fawn Hall is looking for some part-time undercover employment. We can provide the boots.
Thanks.
My pleasure. :)
That would be the head on the aircraft he uses to fly from vacation to vacation.
I thought it was that porcelain device found in most persons’ bathrooms.
