    She admitted, in an interview, her unmasking of members of the Trump team.

    The left sheeple are BEING DENIED THE FACTS by their "news sources"....deliberately, and then are fed bogus "polls" so that they can pretend that they are still "winning" with the Trump/Russia debacle, which they do not even realize has blown up in their faces. They have not been told any of the developing facts, which is why their posts here are so ignorant of the facts, or just plain bewildered.

    They are being manipulated better than Stalin ever could have accomplished....

    Former CIA Analyst: Unmasking Not A Big Deal, Trump's Russia Ties Are

    Ned Price, a former CIA analyst and spokesman for the National Security Council was asked by Andrea Mitchell to comment on a new report about Susan Rice. He turned the story back to the real narrative by reminding Mitchell that the real scandal is "this administration's yet-unexplained ties to key figures in the Russian government."

    Bloomberg reporter Eli Lake ran an article naming Susan Rice as the person who requested some unmasking of Trump officials, which has Fox & Friends running wild with the story and Trump, as usual treating them like Woodward and Bernstein.
    There are actually three ongoing investigations and you cannot keep up with that fact...btw...none involve Rice.

    She was Queen Bee and collecting detailed reports about the Trump campaign's everyday lives.

    BTW, your article is old news and has since been debunked by higher ups.

    I never made any such "demand." You seem seriously off kilter.

    You also can't answer the question posed.

    I find this left wing blathering about some Right Wing media, as nauseating as the Right wing media groaning about the Left Wing media.

    I say let's waste more time watching spinning turds, fragrantly distracting the masses from the entirety of the problem the entire system has been allowed by, We the People, to degrade to.

    You can, can't you?

    Were there any Liberal or simply Democrat during last couple of years, mentioned in any story in less than favorable light that you did not rise to defend?

    Get back to me on that, will yea?

    Look into it all you want.

    The real issue remains Russia.

    When the Director of National Security is alerted that routine intelligence has picked up communications between various Russians either in the Russian government, or affilated with Putin's vast crime network, it is not her duty to ask who these people are??????

    You made an important point that many people in this thread have not acknowledged… In order for Susan Rice to have seem a report, much less ask for unmasking, someone at NSA or the FBI saw it as a matter of national security. Otherwise, the report would have never gotten to Susan Rice. It's not like she is doing the investigation by herself and gathering her own raw intel. Once the NSA or FBI believed the intercept to have national security implications, the report was given to Rice… because she was the President's National Security Advisor. THEN she asked for unmasking to understand it. Whether it had to do with Russia or not is immaterial. It was a matter of national security, or the intercept wouldn't have been shared with her. It does beg the question of why things discussed by non-Americans about people in the Trump campaign were of national security interests. That's probably a difficult question for the White House to explain. That the White House is resisting giving this intelligence to the Congressional Intelligence Committees speaks loudly too.

    Say what???? That's kind of the whole question now isn't it. There are reports everywhere that a lot of this communication is stuff like who's going where to eat, books that are being read kind of stuff. So the simplest question in the world is if it's personal stuff or national security. Was it in NSC briefings or not? Real simple the White House has turned the info over, the NSC already had it looked at and have said no collusion so I guess we're going to find out thru the hearings. If it was cleared as not an national security issue and S Rice unmasked it then deciminated it then leaked it to embarrass members of the Trump team for political purposes then we have a problem. I can't imagine the left not having an issue if the shoe was on the other foot, they're just pissed that it now seems there's more to this story vs collusion. We will see.

    Using the intelligence agencies to spy on the "progressives" political opponents, and leaking that data to smear innocent people. And its to be expected, abusing the government agencies to attack political opponents is exactly what obama has done for 8 years.

    There's another link in this chain. Rice can request to see masked names, but those requests can be denied. So: someone at NSA wanted the names, Rice agreed, and that request was approved. At least three people thought the names would be of value, and almost no one.is allowed to learn them.

    It's not like the next step was call the NYT, stop the presses. And Rice didn't hand a list of Trump staff to the FBI, asking what dirt they had. There are layers of security protecting the privacy of US citizens, even from the WH NSA.

    There are reports everywhere of what people are saying. That's gossip. The only ones that have actually seen the reports Susan Rice is being accused of mishandling are Nunes, Schiff, Pelosi's staffers, and the White House aides that went searching for the information in the secure data base. This issue is a distraction. An easy way to settle the matter is to release the documents, which Trump has the power to do anytime he wishes. However, the White House isn't cooperating with the requests to do so, not even to the Congressional committees he's asked to look into the matter. The information in the documents Rice asked to be unmasked has not been leaked. The only name that was "leaked" was Michael Flynn, and that was about Russia. What we have been told by officials is that the information was legally obtained and the information was not about Russia. I'll note here that national security matters are not solely about Russia.

    I don't know anything about what the left is mad about, or if they are mad. My post was about the steps. Intelligence agencies collect the information, transcript it, mask names, and then distribute to the appropriate people, depending on the content. If the documents shouldn't have been given to Rice, that's not her problem, that's on the NSA. However, Rice seems to be a boogieman to the far right. Thus the outrage… and the distraction back to Trump's unsubstantiated tweet and away from stories about Bannon and Russia.

    Exactly. When this whole situation is said and done, I won't be surprised if those "finding" these intelligence reports to vindicate Trump's tweet aren't the ones in big trouble. They were using classified information for a political purpose. Bringing Nunes in added to the political theater.
