This Rice thing makes Watergate look like child's play.

It is incredible to me that Maggie Haberman of the NYT had this story for days and refused to run it.
Incredible, yes. Surprising, no.

I tell ya- it must a really rough time to be a lying commie news asshole. Soooo much work to try to obscure the truth, and in the end it will be for naught.

Payday's comin'

Payday is coming, I agree.
This story is a hot knife through butter IMO.

This Rice thing was known to Trump prior to his wiretapping tweet.
And many said he was lying.

It didn't fit her narrative. In her worldview she could not possibly have been wrong.

While CNN and Washington Post call the Rice story "fake news", why isn't any MSM interviewing Susan Rice right now?

Let's hear what she says when she knows there may be govt documents of her using the NSA to "wire tap" the Trump campaign.

It is truly astounding how far the media and radical left (i.e. Democrats) have taken their attacks on President Trump. Who else could survive this unprecedented onslaught?

I hope President Trump can have some of his staff fight this vast propaganda campaign while he stays focused on MAGA.

two weeks before the election, Evelyn Farkas was on an international panel session.

She said that if Donald Trump won the presidency he would “be impeached pretty quickly or somebody else would have to take over government,”

Farkas:

'It’s not a done deal, as you said. And so, to the Americans in the audience please vote. And not only vote but get everybody to vote. Because I really believe we need a landslide. We need an absolute repudiation of everything. All of the policies that Donald Trump has put out there. I am not afraid to be political. I am not hiding who I am rooting for. And I think it’s very important that we continue to press forward until election day and through election day to make sure that we have the right results."

"And we do have a strong system of checks and balances. And actually, if Donald Trump were elected I believe he would be impeached pretty quickly or somebody else would have to take over government. And I am not even joking."

"If Secretary Clinton becomes our president, then she will make America lead again"

Rice needs to burn! I'm so tired of this lying whore, justice needs to be done. Congress needs to grill her and make big spectacle of, at least for the sake of pounding her and exposing the shit that she is. She's so emblematic of the scum that the Obama administration was.

Incidentally, here's Napolitano's take:

Listened to CNN for a few minutes this morning, and one of their paid talking heads said positively that Susan Rice's action in unmasking were appropriate and totally within her duties and responsibilities, and that the White House was throwing this up as a smoke screen to their bigger Russian problem.

The unmasking is a felony that carries a punishment of up to 10 years. Anyone want to guess what she actually gets?

In her position, the unmasking wasn't necessarily illegal.

The leaking certainly was.

Exactly. For all we know (at this point) there may have been a valid reason for the unmasking. There was no way the leaking to the press was legal.

Call her before Congress to testify under oath.

Obama hiding on some remote tropical island makes sense now.

I hope the crooked bitch takes the Fifth. Really, I do.

Yup, the Patriot Act made all this super-surveillance stuff legal.

Were not there some discussion many moons ago about how the Patriot Act could be 'legally' corrupted to lead to the events currently uncovered?

Also, with Obama allowing the data to be shared between at least 16 agencies, plus foreign agencies, and leaks will happen. It just will make finding the leak(s) damn 'near' impossible.

Nixon was a true amateur.

CNN Rages Against 'Susan Rice Bombshell', Urges Viewers To Ignore Story

Trump is ALWAYS lying. He is ALWAYS going over the top on Twtter. The WH is ALWAYS throwing up a smoke screen.

I'm getting used to this MSM nonsense. Getting immune, even. I think it will continue over his entire term. I say let them dig their own graves for 2020.

I just want it to get to the point where, when Trump announces yet another shenanigan, these previous Obama people lie about being culpable while something warm runs down their legs.

Spicer should revoke all of CNN's press credentials. I mean what would they do, attack Trump or something?

I heard on the radio this morning (sorry no link) that the spying started on Trump a year before the election. This was way before Trump was even considered a serious candidate. Which begs the question whether there was spying on all the Republican candidates.

OK.

1st There would have needed to be a reason to look at communications between Trump/team and whoever was on the other side of phone/email. Very likely there is a good enough excuse to do that.

2nd There needed to be something contained in those communications that warranted unmasking of those names. What crimes/threats were contained in the communications? Any actionable intelegence? If no crime or threat those names should have then been redacted.

3rd If there was no evidence of crime/threat then it should never have been further spread to other agencies.

4th This info should never have been shared with the media or for that matter any one that did not have director level of clearance.

After the first point this stuff should have been masked/redacted to protect American citizens privacy, no matter if it was Trump or Joe the plumber. Our government shouldn't be spying on ANY us citizens without warrants or proof of crime/threat.

Wonder how the CNN reporters would like having their grocery lists reviewed by government agents? How about their porn viewing history? Maybe their messages to their mom's? How can they not see a problem with this?
