WSJ reports that Susan Rice Was Not Alone In "Unmasking" Team Trump
ZeroHedge ^ | April 4, 2017 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 04/04/2017 9:55:07 PM PDT by Reverend Wright

As part of its daily wrap of the Susan Rice newsflow, which focused on her first media appearance since she was "outed" as the persona responsible for "unmasking" members of team Trump, the WSJ provides two new pieces of incremental information: i) in addition to Michael Flynn, at least one more member of the Trump transition team was "unmasked" in intelligence reports due to multiple foreign conversations that weren't related to Russia; and ii) Rice wasn't the administration official who instigated Mr. Flynn’s unmasking, confirming there is at least one more high-level official giving "unmasking" orders.

Like all crimminal conspiracies, this one was planned and carried out by multiple parties with a crimminal intent. Each one of the acts taken in isolation can be argued to be nothing more than carelessness or poor judgement, and this is by design to give all the parties involved, plausable deniability. That`s why it`s important to point out the bigger picture, and the coordination between all parties. That`s where the true crimminality is revealed.

Susan Rice had her role to play, but ask yourself why she was even viewing masked transcripts involving the Trump team in the first place, when according to Nunes, the conversations themselves involveded nothing crimminal and didn`t involve Russia?

The answer seems to be that foreigners were specifically targeted for surveilence, not based on any legitimate crimminal suspicion of them, but based on their known contacts with members of the Trump team. Undoubtedly some weak justification was given for surveiling them, but the purpose was to spy on the members of the Trump team, with whom they were known to communicate.

Susan Rice must have been given the names of the foreigners who were being surveiled for this purpose or else, why would she even bother to ask that their U.S. contacts be unmasked when, according to Nunes the conversations themselves were not crimminal in nature?
Her job was to provide the justification, however tenuous, for unmasking these U.S. citizens who `coincidentaly` just happend to be Trump associates. This was a coordinated effort and could not have succeded otherwise.

The democrats/communists control the media(CBS,CNN, NYtimes etc. all TV and newspaper “news” stations etc.) . The media creates the matrix , the false reality we live in.

In the media created matrix the Trump team conspired with the Russians to hack the election away from Hillary.

In reality Obama, Rice etc illegally ordered wiretapping of the Trump team in order to manufacture a false lie of the "Russia hacking the election" lie in order to get the election overturned. The media goes along with this lie of Rice and Obama .

People fail to understand this one simple concept: ALL of the media people reporters, anchors , editors, producers, etc. ALL of them are NOT reporters: These people are democrat political activists who took jobs in TV news stations etc. in order to advance socialism. They are also socialists/communists/statists = democrats.

For example Megyn Kelly faked being a conservative for a while but tried to take Trump out for the cause . What's the cause ? socialism.

this likely goes back to the 2012 campaign and earlier.

The Wash Times had a recording of Dennis Kucinich from 2011 when he was against the Libya attack.

I’m not sure if we heard the same interview last night where BOR had Malia Zimmermann on the show. It was extremely interesting and no, she did not say Rice would skate. When a political appointee with clearance asks for an unmasking, they have to be specific and it has to be a written request or an audit trail of request actions. What she did say is that their sources are making the claim that where to look, ie, what file numbers, they should check out.

It is a fact that in order for Rice to get anything unmasked, she would have to submit justification again in writing for each. Justification can only be had by her if the issue was for national security and not for politics, which it is the latter. We know many of the unmaskings have nothing to do with Russia. So from what we are starting to learn, this thing was an orchestration involving many, many operatives inside the bubble. The now written calls for calling her to testify before both intel committees is growing rapidly.

I would feel safe to assume the list for watch lists of passports exiting the country is already growing at a rapid rate because we all know that Team Trump is always many moves ahead of what we already know. Lots of canaries are already starting to sing.

from wikipedia

Any request for an American’s identity to be unmasked required approval by the National Security Agency; NSA Director Michael Rogers said the NSA evaluated each request to determine “Is there a valid need to know in the course of the execution of their official duties?” and “Is the identification necessary to truly understand the context of the intelligence value that the report is designed to generate?”[76]

I think the fact that could sink them is that if we found out that they unmasked Jeb Bush or members of his campaign.

Early in the campaign when Bush was the likely Republican nominee it would have been likely that Team Obama/Clinton would have been listening in and then later as Trump emerged as the apparent nominee they would have changed focus. This would prove the political purpose of the Rice’s activities.

I suspect that this practice of doing whatever you want because you’re so arrogant and confident that you don’t imagine you’ll ever have to answer. This likely prevailed at the White House - The Culture of Corruption. They think nothing of it, plus they have the “press” to tamp down any objection.

If anyone thinks that Obama, ValJar and Hitlery weren’t right in there, they’re naive and blind.

Congress should ask Kucinich to testify, too.

With at least 3 wiretap & leak incidents over a period of years, this is Watergate, plus.

Prediction: Susan Rice will be found dead - it will be a “suicide.”

They lie about everything else. There may not be a record of anything; it could have disappeared or they may have not done the required paperwork in the first place.

If we view her record, we will see she did everything possible to enable islamic terrorism in the USA. Her claims of defending this country by unmasking Trumps people is a joke.
