On CNN this morning, Chris Cuomo said to Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah, “Breitbart is using you as a poster boy. You know that is the president’s viewing of choice. He loves to see what they put out. They are using you as the poster boy that Susan Rice was politically motivated in unmasking.”
Cuomo told Lee, “it does seem as though you’re saying Rice has to prove it wasn’t politically motivated for me to believe that it wasn’t. And that’s not fair.”
Retorted Lee: “That is an absolutely absurd manipulation of what I said. That is not at all what I said. I did in fact say that something like this could have happened. I did in fact say it’s not absurd to suggest something like this could have happened. And every time I’ve said anything like that, it’s been accompanied by ‘I don’t know what Susan Rice did. I don’t know the facts of the case.”

Why go on CNN at all?
WTF are republican senators doing going on CNN? The only reason I would go on is to tell them what a sewer they are then walk off the set live.
The presstitutes are presstituting themselves much more than usual on the Rice issue.
That means the Dems know this is the big one.
Chris Cuomo got the talking points this morning and dutifully went to work on the spin.
The panic is palpable, because people ARE going to jail.
CNN is circling the transition from the bowl to the invisible depths of the drain.
The libtards like Cuomo are utterly desperate to block any serious examination of what Susan Rice and other Obamanators did or didn’t do. The libtards pretend they have all the answers before the facts have even been assembled. They are pure propagandists, as usual.
Susan Rice’s White House Unmasking: A Watergate-style Scandal National Review ^ | 4/4/2017 | Andrew C. McCarthy / FR Posted by Pfesser
EXCERPT---The thing to bear in mind is that the White House does not do investigations. Not criminal investigations, not intelligence investigations. Remember that.
Why is that so important in the context of explosive revelations that Susan Rice, President Obama’s national-security adviser, confidant, and chief dissembler, called for the “unmasking” of Trump campaign and transition officials whose identities and communications were captured in the collection of U.S. intelligence on foreign targets?
Because we’ve been told for weeks that any unmasking of people in Trump’s circle that may have occurred had two innocent explanations: (1) the FBI’s investigation of Russian meddling in the election and (2) the need to know, for purposes of understanding the communications of foreign intelligence targets, the identities of Americans incidentally intercepted or mentioned.
The unmasking, Obama apologists insist, had nothing to do with targeting Trump or his people. That won’t wash.
======================================================
Rice's interest was most assuredly not in national security but to advance the political interests of the Democratic party (and Hillary Clinton).......and, not incidentally, Obama. And she used the surveillance and intelligence power of the US govt to do it.
That’s funny. Rice did something, gets exposed, and the LW mouthpieces blame other d=for it? Will they blame the Russians next week? Good Lord.
Cuomo knowingly distorted what Lee said. A proper response might be: “When are you going to stop killing babies?”
“Stupid is as stupid does.” Forrest Gump
When has “motivation” mattered when committing a crime?
Still desperately trying to stop this at ONLY Susan Rice. They lost their ‘journalism’ cover a long time ago... now wholly over the top into a ‘Democrats Damage Control’ channel.
I leaked nothing to nobody = I leaked something to someone.
Think about it, would you let Coumo attack you? I would tell him to blow it out his ass, and I would use those exact words.
If Mike didn't realize this was going to happen before he went into Cuomo's propaganda mill, he's not as smart as I thought he was. As a prior poster stated, why even go on CNN?
Obama, Hillary, Bill, Holder, Lynch, Rice et al are dishonest. They’ve finally been pinned with some factual evidence and the Liberals, aided by the media cohorts, are trying to bury the evidence. It’s fun to watch them squirm.
Cuomo is a dirt bag POS that needs to STFU. I’d consider getting 5 minutes alone with that mangina in a dark alley and no witnesses around to be like winning the lottery.
Don’t worry, I’d just serve him tea and crumpets. ;)
Is this the same Cuomo who said it is A OK for a 13 year old girl to go to a bathroom and see a man with his pecker hanging out..Okie Dokie Chris..I see you got a thing for little girls, its OK most Dems are pedophiles anyway you are in good company
I’m really enjoying the media twisting themselves into a pretzel. Their panic is palpable.
Best election each.
