So Susan Rice never cared a whit about a Russian threat...until it got political

Susan Rice, who didn't exactly care about a terrorist attack in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012 and gladly went on television to lie about it to the public, is repeating her same pattern.

Turns out she issued a "stand down" order to National Security Council officials who sought to retaliate against Russia for its hacks into our electoral system.

According to the Daily Caller, citing a new book out, Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump:

One day in late August, national security adviser Susan Rice called [NSC official Michael Daniel] into her office and demanded he cease and desist from working on the cyber options he was developing. "Don't get ahead of us," she warned him. The White House was not prepared to endorse any of these ideas. Daniel and his team in the White House cyber response group were given strict orders: "Stand down." She told Daniel to "knock it off," he recalled.

Daniel, as it happens, was planning to release embarrassing information about Vladimir Putin's fortune to the Russian public in retaliation for Putin's government's hacking of Democratic National Committee emails, via WikiLeaks.

Makes sense, since she is nothing but a political hack.

We spent orders of magnitude more money trying to hunt down the elusive Russian interference then the Russian ever spent ever trying to make it.

At this rate the Russian could easily bankrupt us, and we still have even more interference coming from so-called allies and China.

She will go to her grave protecting the vile Obama. The bottom line is that a sitting President of the United States conspired to libel and slander a private citizen who was seeking the Presidency. He not only slandered and libeled, but he corrupted Federal agencies Justice, CIA, FBI and NSA and people within them to advance his nefarious goals. Realpolitik suggests he will never be arrested, imprisoned or made financially accountable. Still some degree of Justice will be served if a special prosecutor, inspector general or sworn testimony from the principal actors implement Obama forever and beyond doubt for all future rational people to know just how evil this man was.

"At this rate the Russian could easily bankrupt us, . . ."

Bailing out banks that should have never been bailed out and fighting a few trillion dollars worth of "wars" on borrowed money will bankrupt us long before our chasing Hillary's delusions about Russian ever will.

[Verginius Rufus]

She would have cared, if the Russians had used a YouTube video to do their interfering.

Yes, Susan Rice is a 'hack' but Morning Joe and the Communist New York Times and the corrupt Washington Post won't give a damn about this story.

People like Susan Rice and other need to be jailed as quickly as possible. If not, they will return the next time a democrat wins the White House. They will then put us all on the same track to destruction. These enemies of the people seem to keep coming back.

The DOJ can easily find something to charge them with, leaking, mishandling of classified documents, Hatch Act violations, sedition, treason, bribery, money laundering and a host of other things. Charge them with a slam dunk conviction. Once the are in prison hit them with everything. It seems they are still walking free because the DOJ is trying to find the biggest crime. I say, get them on something and lock them up. That will be a game changer.

For decades, none of the Dems have cared about Russia or Communism (because so many of them are Marxists). Now, suddenly, they do and its treason just to talk to a Russian. The whole thing would be a cosmic joke if it weren’t serious.

A big part of it is that they think they turn lot of the patriots who voted for Trump against him by yelling “Russia” at the top of their lungs. I doubt it will work, but they are trying.

[Kaslin]

That is factual.

[VanShuyten]

She was just applying a little bit of Obama’s flexibility towards Putin.

Hey Monica, think twice before starting an article headline with So. It’s ignorant and makes you appear foolish.

[StAnDeliver]

You have to dig the way Chatsworth cooks both Corn and Rice. A little salt, a little heat. If the latter comes forward to deny it, well...

And Corn is really one of the dumber, less-aware proles around. A schnook among schnooks...

Wow that Mother Jones article was hilarious: Jeh Johnson holding a conference call from his mom’s basement, and the Georgia Sec’y of State telling Jeh to get stuffed.

[StAnDeliver]

These kind always besmirch themselves eventually. He'll flip out at some point, off the record, but -- there will be audio and video.

Certainly the 2020 election will offer ample opportunity, when Trump's first term will dwarf Bobo's two terms, and the Don will drive that home repeatedly.

[xrmusn]

Two things that BO is basically ‘sliding’ on

Tell Vlad I will have more flexibility after the election.
MITT the 80s are calling— RUSSIA is our friend (close)

So, in 4 short years Russia went from bosom buddy to vile evil empire with virtually NOTHING changing other than a Billionaire NYer kicked a Black Family out of public housing courtesy of the American Voters.
