Key Rice Un-Masking Evidence Seized By Obama 'Library', Sealed for 5 Years

[Luddly Neddite]

Obama to Bush: I Can Release Your Records. Don’t Like It? Sue. – Mother Jones

“[Obama]’s putting former presidents on notice that if you want to continue a claim of executive privilege that [Obama] doesn’t think is well-placed, you’re going to have to go to court,” says Anne Weismann, the chief counsel for Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington (CREW).


During the campaign, Obama promised to “nullify attempts to make the timely release of presidential records more difficult.” (A transition spokesperson promised Mother Jones essentially the same thing when we asked a few weeks ago.) That was a reference to former president Bush’s infamous Executive Order 13233, which gave current and former presidents and vice presidents, along with their heirs, unprecedented authority to block the disclosure of White House records. But Obama’s taken his campaign promise a step further. While revoking 13233, Obama has also put forth a far stricter interpretation of executive privilege:

[T]he Executive Order on Presidential Records brings those principles [of openness and transparency] to presidential records by giving the American people greater access to these historic documents. This order ends the practice of having others besides the President assert executive privilege for records after an administration ends. Now, only the President will have that power, limiting its potential for abuse. And the order also requires the Attorney General and the White House Counsel to review claims of executive privilege about covered records to make sure those claims are fully warranted by the Constitution.

And here is yet another one of those guys I was referring to in my post.

So, does Putin pay you, or do you betray the USA for free?

Cult bedwetters like you are a dime a dozen. Why should anyone pay any special attention to your weeping?

 

[Steve_McGarrett]

He hid these records like he did his original 1961 Birth Certificate and College Admissions.

Hopefully, eff will take this on.
NSA Spying
And do remember, the Nixon administration was not allowed access to its own documents until they had been combed through. Maybe a Congress needs to pass a similar act, since names were unmasked in such an illegitimate way.

OP is lying.

President Obama has "sealed" nothing. If the RWNJs would actually read, they would learn that this is a requirement of the Presidential Records Act of 1978.

Educate yourselves.

 

[depotoo]

So, he is going against his own so. Interesting. So much for that transparency he claims should be held up.

Actually that could very well be true, knowing what a shifty guy he is.

LOL there really is no hope for you and your type. What can anyone do when it's clearly in front of your face and you still refuse to see it.

 

[mudwhistle]

Can anyone figure out what Mud is crying about? I can't. All the Trump-snowflakes here have been reduced to babbling a sort of butthurt word-salad.

Bu then, the point of it isn't to make sense. The point of it is to demonstrate something to the other cultists, that the speaker is still fanatically loyal to the Trump-cult. That's important, given how violent and unstable all of the Trump-cultists are.

Now let me get this straight.....you honestly can't see the irony here???

This guy comes here day after day after day, with shit about the left and Obama....never does this maniac say a gotdamned thing about that clown in the fuckin white house, put his ass on ignore, he's a fuckin waste of time. The irony of all this, you'd think with his fuckin party dominating the country, he'd be happy...but no...unless they have something to whine about, these mindless whores would go insane!!

 

[tigerred59]

As we speak, Putin has air jets loaded with missiles, flying within short miles of our air craft carriers.

 

[mudwhistle]

All of this talk about Trump being involved in a coverup and Obama is conducting yet another one right before our eyes in broad daylight.

To understand the play at stake here, and the larger scheme to keep the Obama political surveillance from the sunlight of discovery, it is important to remember the only factually known illegal activity surrounding the entire Russian Election Conspiracy is:

A.) the illegal leaking of intelligence reports (Comey et al), or the weaponization of intelligence for political motives; and
B.) the illegal unmasking of names within U.S. intelligence reports by Obama White House officials (Susan Rice and Ben Rhodes), again for political motives.

The latest jaw dropping maneuver by the former Obama White House crew specifically targets how to cover-up the latter issue.

A FOIA request from Judicial Watch to the Obama NSC seeking information about the unmasking activities of National Security Advisor Susan Rice and the National Security Council receives a response that all documentation has been moved to the Obama Library.

The reason: All presidential library material is NOT subject to public scrutiny until FIVE YEARS after the administration ends.

(Via Judicial Watch) The NSC will not fulfill an April 4 Judicial Watch request for records regarding information relating to people “who were identified pursuant to intelligence collection activities.”

The agency also informed Judicial Watch that it would not turn over communications with any Intelligence Community member or agency concerning the alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election; the hacking of DNC computers; or the suspected communications between Russia and Trump campaign/transition officials. Specifically, the NSC told Judicial Watch:

“Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.” (link)

Calling it specifically what it is: this is nothing short of a strategy to hide discovery of the illegal political surveillance scheme carried out by the Obama intelligence community (Brennan, Clapper and Comey Inc.) during the 2016 presidential race.

In the matter of the first known illegal action, fired FBI Director James Comey is currently working his angles to hide his upper level FBI team’s involvement in the leaking of intelligence and FBI (counterintelligence) operations to the media. All of Comey’s current activity is clearly targeted toward accomplishing this goal.

In the matter of the second known illegal action, former Obama officials are clearly working to hide their use of the intelligence community to spy on political opposition. As we stated back in April the fingerprints of this action were clearly established.

Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice only needed to confirm one aspect of the intelligence unmasking story for all of the dots to connect. She made that confirmation within two minutes of her interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.

I've done extensive research on the Obama administration as well and therefore know what you said to be spot on. But the most amazing thing about all this is that his supporters will nay say every word. Guaranteed they're at the keyboards at this very moment writing some kind of idiotic retort.

Given all Obama's done and in front of public scrutiny, at this point these people have to be either in denial, brainwashed, or simply too mentally deficient to understand. And this fuels his arrogance even more for he truly believes everyone is beneath him intellectually and gullible enough to buy anything he's selling.

I to the contrary believe Obama was never working for the U.S. Who or what country groomed him to cripple this nation is the only question. I'm guessing since he is so hung up about Muslims, it was one in the Middle East. And given the fact he bowed to the Saudi King, it could be them which would explain his connections to the Muslim Brotherhood who are from there.

At any rate everything he's done from his race division tactics to sending skids of cash to Iran which coincidentally helped to fund that country's terrorist efforts should have been red flags to anyone paying attention.

But no matter what comes out about him, he's still hailed as some kind of God by about fifty per cent of this country which speaks volumes about half of the nation's intelligence.

Maybe 40%

Trump's staff has a "conversation" with Russians as a part of their job, the left investigates for almost a year now.

Unmasking that FISA has already said was highly improper / illegal is now "locked up" for 5 years.

if you're interested in stopping *all government* improper activity this should be maddening. if you're all for hiding one sides sins while attacking anything you can on the other, we're mired in business as usual.

Oh REALLY? Susan Rice unmasking docs sent to Obama library and will be kept secret for 5 years

 

[Luddly Neddite]

This was already posted and if you read the facts, you'll see its required by law.

 

[whitehall]

The sad thing is that the criminal enterprise in the MSM doesn't give a damn when the focus is on democrats. You almost gotta laugh that not a single alleged investigative reporter in the MSM ever asked Bill Clinton's former NSA, Sandy Berger, what the hell he stole (and destroyed) from the National Archives and why he did it.

[AntonToo]

Load of horseshit.

How do you lock something up from a subpoena? You can't.

If there actually would be a serious investigation (there isn't as even Republicans admitted that Rice didn't do anything wrong) the records are there.

Also not true. Clinton did not "hide" anything and Obama did not "seal" anything.

Sheesh.

You RWNJs just keep repeating the same lies.

well you got the trump RUSSIA ones covered so we're trying something new.

The sad thing is the far right can't show that unmasking as done by Rice etc was illegal. In fact, it was required.

Well,

• Unmasking US citizens is not within the scope of her duties
• Leaking unmasked names to the press is illegal
• Spying on political opposition just to unearth dirt is an abuse of authority
