National Security Experts Agree - Susan Rice Did Nothing Wrong

[Flash]

Two faces of evil and dishonesty in America

 

[Valerie]

there was no ACTUAL scandal with hillary.. only fake news AS IF there was a "scandal".

while hounding their own government over an embassy terror attack, rethuglicans learned of hillary's email status.

her email broke no law nor did it even break a single rule. there were no troubled incidents to speak of.

and bonus! FBI confirmed her server had NO evidence of hacking.


"Imagine a security advisor looking the other way when the hillary was neck deep in scandal."


imagine if new age rethuglicans didn't politicize our national security...?


those WERE the days when America was GREAT...

A Monday Bloomberg report alleging that a former top Obama administration official requested the unmasking of U.S. persons tied to the Trump campaign who were swept up in foreign surveillance is not the “smoking gun” that the President’s backers are making it out to be.

According to surveillance and national security experts, former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice would be within her rights to make such requests if she was trying to determine the extent of Russia’s interference in the presidential election.

“Part of her job as national security adviser is to pay attention to what foreign governments are doing,” Rebecca Lonergan, a former federal prosecutor who handled foreign surveillance cases, told TPM. “If she’s asking for specific names to be unmasked in order to understand what Russia may be doing to influence the U.S. political system and influence our elections, presumably in a way they thought would benefit them, she’s doing her job.”

Nada Bakos, a former CIA analyst, noted on Twitter that it was not “odd or wrong” for the national security adviser to read “a report of foreign officials discussing US persons coming into” the White House. And Susan Hennessey, a fellow in national security governance studies at the Brookings Institution, wrote of the Bloomberg article that “nothing in this story indicates anything improper whatsoever.”

Lonergan said that given the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election, which Director James Comey recently confirmed has been ongoing since July 2016, the discovery of such conversations would “naturally and appropriately” prompt top-level national security officials to ask that U.S. persons’ names be unmasked “to see if any inappropriate action is taking place.”

“If we just heard Susan Rice as national security adviser is trying to keep track of Russia’s interference in the election, we’d all cheer,” Lonergan said. “But then we hear the word surveillance and people start talking about it in very inexact ways that make it seem like something wrong was done.”

Hahahahahaha ....

Hey idiots, you just took a giant bite out of another ....

The NSA can look at such masked names, but only if it deals with a direct threat to the US. Those rules are spelled out in FISA guidelines.

She also wasn't allowed to leak his name to the press. That was a felony, as confirmed by Comey.

Exactly. These were felonies committed by rice.

 

[Valerie]

rethuglicans never let FACTS get in the way of their partisan stupidity.

 

[theHawk]

SHOCKING!

rethuglicans never met a faux scandal they didn't love to fabricate in order to distract dumbos from their own scandal.





The FBI Has Been Investigating Trump’s Russia Ties Since July

the FBI has confirmed that since July, it’s been investigating possible connections between Trump’s campaign and the Russian government.

In a hearing of the House of Representatives’ Select Intelligence Committee Monday into possible Russian interference in the election, FBI Director Comey stated for the first time that the agency he leads is investigating Russia-Trump ties. “I’ve been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI as part of our counterintelligence mission is investigating the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the United States’ 2016 presidential election,” Comey told the House committee. “That includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts.”

What is there to "distract" from? That investigation didn't turn up anything, other than illegal outing of US citizens names from FISA wiretaps. And as we are learning now, it was most definitely Obama admin hacks, like Rice.

Libtards in full Denial Mode
Former President Barack Obama’s national security adviser Susan Rice ordered U.S. spy agencies to produce “detailed spreadsheets” of legal phone calls involving Donald Trump and his aides when he was running for president, according to former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova.

“What was produced by the intelligence community at the request of Ms. Rice were detailed spreadsheets of intercepted phone calls with unmasked Trump associates in perfectly legal conversations with individuals,” diGenova told The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group Monday.
