JANUARY 5, 2017 Thu : (WHITE HOUSE MEETING ATTENDED BY PRESIDENT OBAMA, VP JOE BIDEN, SALLY YATES JAMES COMEY, AND ? — THIS MEETING LATER WOULD BE REFERENCED IN SUSAN RICE’S JAN 20 2017 12:15 PM CYA EMAIL TO HERSELF)
BY Thomas Wictor @ThomasWictor
(1) The Susan Rice e-mail to herself.
(2) Rice sent the e-mail on January 20, 2017, at 12.15 p.m.
Trump became president at 11:47 a.m.
What Rice did was send the e-mail to herself at the very last second that it would be included in records from the Obama administration.
(3) ALSO, Rice sent the e-mail AFTER the Obama administration could see it or confront her with it.
She sent it minutes before she departed the White House for the last time.
(4) The e-mail documents a meeting between Obama, Biden, Rice, Comey, and Yates. This meeting took place on January 5, 2017.
(5) Gassley and Graham were sent the e-mail after they asked the National Archives for records of meetings between Obama and Comey. This e-mail is the only record. Without it, Obama would’ve skated.
(6) Rice wrote the first part of the e-mail in such a bizarre way that it would immediately stand out.
“President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities “by the book”. The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.”
(7) It doesn’t read as though a native speaker of English wrote it.
This is deliberate. It draws attention to what comes next.
(8) THIS is the meat of the thing.
First, this.
From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.
(9) And then more importantly, this.
The President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would.
(10) Obama said that he never spoke to Comey about ongoing investigations. Rice says he lied.
(11) Not only THAT, Rice says that Obama told Comey to WITHHOLD information from the Trump administration AND report back to Obama.
(12) Rice ALSO says that Comey lied to Congress.
(13) So, Rice handed Obama and Comey to law enforcement on a silver platter. Did YOU figure that out? I did. Immediately.
(14) That’s why I said I’m not interested in arguing about this.
>
YOU TOTALLY MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT HAPPENED. Rice torpedoed EVERYTHING. It’s over. All she has to do is confirm that the meeting happened.
(15) I called this in April, when Rice gave her interview to Andrea Mitchell. It pays to be able to read people.
(16) Stop thinking in terms of movies and cartoons. “Hang ‘em high!” isn’t what real people say. And stop listening to all the IDIOTS who give you nothing but bad news.
(17) “Fire Jeff Sessions! This is awful! Call me an ambulance!” Okay: You’re an ambulance, you childish weirdo. You’re too dumb to see the truth when it’s rubbed right in your face...
(18) ADDENDUM: Here’s how badly Obama treated Rice:
