Rice denies Obama administration inappropriately unmasked Trump team

tres borrachos said:
She actually didn't claim that they spied on Trump and his team at all. In fact, she denied it.

That said, I'm all for an investigation into this matter. Put her under oath and see what she will say. Until then, we don't have any more evidence at our fingertips than we have evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians. That hasn't stopped a lot of people from both sides making their minds up without having access to the facts.

Indeed. Bring it on. Let the trail lead us to the truth. To hell with all of this spin and distraction.

Don't know what "it" is that Nunes brought up, or what Schiff has not denied.

And if Schiff is allowed to view highly classified material then talk about it on MSNBC, that's news to me. Where does he get authorization to freely discuss that classified material?

Nunez said some of the comminications where Americans were unmasked had nothing to do with the Russia investigation.
 
Erod said:
LOL, and you believe her?

We have concrete evidence of this, and it deserves no further investigation. But we have no evidence of Russian collusion, but we should double down all efforts?

We have evidence that she unmasked the names in a report...which was part of her job and perfectly legal.

We also have Trump staff rifling through classified information looking for a fall guy to distract from Trump's lies about wiretapping and leaking it through Nunes..which is totally political.

Did Schiff say it had nothing to do with the Russian investigation?

I.E. an entirely separate investigation.

Lol....Right, the Political investigation intended to dig up dirt on Trump.

Your assumption is not based in any reality. What's known is that there was a legal surveillance already in existence, and Trump just strolled right into it. What did he involve himself in?
 
I told you they'd start throwing poo. :mrgreen:
 
Tanngrisnir said:
No, there's no way to know what we would know and when, your fantasies notwithstanding.

That's why there are 3 ongoing investigations. There is an arkload of circumstantial evidence that justifies them, whether you like it or not.

Hey they can investigate all they want, makes no difference to me. But now we have Obama and clan spying on Trump for total political reasons, surly you don't mind having Susan Rice testify under oath.
 
tres borrachos said:
That doesn't say who Susan was "surveilling".

It also doesn't say who was unmasked. She requested names. Yes, we know that. It doesn't say who was unmasked, with the exception of Michael Flynn who I already mentioned.

Then you surely don't mind Susan Rice testify under oath in front of the investigating committees.

And yet you STIL have zero proof of that rather hysterical accusation.

Are you one of those who sees HRC with the mention of Susan Rice?

As Bush-43 once said, "bring it on". I'll add until the 2018 elections.

Why doesn't trump declassify those documents inducting Rice?

Are you saying the POTUS can start new investigations whenever he spews ?

One things for sure, that very publicized attempt to " resist " and undermine the Trump Presidency at all cost that happened right after Trumps win as lost some of its momentum. Or has Obama's Organizing for Action decided to lay low until the Rice thing blows over ??

You know who else is laying low ? Adam Schiff. Yep, seems like that visit to the WH where he was allowed to view the same intel Nunez saw had quite the impact. You would expect Schiff to come out and rebut Nunez's claims immediately that these reports had nothing to do with the Russia investigation, or at least go back to attacking Nunez.

I'm betting Schiff informed his Democrat colleagues exactly what he saw, that high level officials in the Obama WH repeatedly requested the unmasking of the names of Americans from conversations that had zero to do with this Russian investigation and that there were records of it, and that they were in the hands of the current WH council.

Susan Rice didn't help things when she lied through her teeth on PBS only to change her story on MSNBC. CNN has anchor that on-air, refused to acknowledge the existence of the story. I wonder if this is all part of the Democratic party's strategy to take back the House and Senate in 2018 ? Because I think its working !! Keep it up, its a fantastic strategy !

Since I've posted that repeatedly, I can't decide if you didn't understand it the first 10 times I posted it, or you just like to see me post to you.

I'm saying lying Susan Rice is going to be called before the Senate investigating committee to testify under oath. However I bet she takes the fifth. She can't keep her lies straight. Surely you don't mind she is going to have to testify, do you?
 
Born Free said:
I suspect it's soon to be discovered.

Susan Rice, who Newsweek once described as former President Barack Obama’s “right-hand woman,” was at the center of unmasking Trump administration officials, a new report concludes.

Eli Lake, who broke the story for Bloomberg View, wrote on Monday morning: “White House lawyers last month discovered that the former national security adviser Susan Rice requested the identities of U.S. persons in raw intelligence reports on dozens of occasions that connect to the Donald Trump transition and campaign, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

What names exactly did Rice request to be unmasked?

You mean you don't have any evidence....really?

Here's a clue...Rice only unmasked one name and it hasn't been leaked or declassifed. So what exactly did Rice do wrong?




"...The GOP official told the Wall Street Journal that two members of the Trump transition team had been unmasked by intelligence reports reviewed by Republican lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee.

One of them is Flynn, and the other transition team member hasn’t been publicly identified.

The GOP official, who the Journal said was familiar with deliberations by fellow Republicans on the intelligence committee, said Rice had requested the unmasking of at least one transition team member, but Flynn was not among them...."

From your link:

"Rice’s unmasking requests involved multiple foreign conversations that weren’t related to Russia, the official said."

Get a clue.

But not that, or anything else is going to change Trumpanzee minds. Donald Trump saw a conspiracy theory on the interwebz, and that's good enough for them.

Well, two weeks ago, she knew nothing about anything.

Now she remebers that she did it, but her intentions and motivations were completely justified and absent malice.

We know with absolute certainty that she lied, but when and about what?

What will her story be two weeks from now?

It seems to be the product of both intelligent design and evolution.

12 Days ago, Susan Rice denied any knowledge of ?unmasking? Trump intel

How many members of the Trump transition team did she request unmasked???

Get a ****ing clue yourself. :roll:
 
Rice doesn't have a good track record of honesty. She very recently lied about even unmasking the names. Seems like a flunky to me. An investigation should be conducted to figure out who illegally leaked the names to the press. And an investigation has to discover why, if we knew that the Russians were trying to influence the election, nothing was apparently done.
