No I don't think they did . I think they should if they see Unamerican scumbags spying on the incoming president and his team.
Of course it's all about the team. I'm glad that we can both agree on that. So don't complain if your team is on the ropes and the ref isn't looking while my guy hits below the belt. You can complain, but you're not going to find much sympathy here when my guy got the same punch in the last round. It's war, and you'll be lucky if Trump doesn't come up with a few ways to cheat that Obama never even considered.
Under the Espionage act what Susan Rice did was considered a Conspiracy.That puts her in a world of trouble. She Started the ball rolling by demanding the Unmasking.This never would have taken place w/o her.SHE INITIATED IT. Therefore who put her up to it. She is solely responsible for any unmasking.She may well have called for Flynn to be unmasked and leaked it.
Of course it's pathetic! We should have been able to debate issues, rather than blindly side with our team. That didn't happen, so I feel forced into this. I'm not going to debate morality with the immoral. Here is a great example of what I'm talking about. She refused to answer the simplest question ever given to anybody.
Pure BS. They have a job to do and getting involved in politics is not part of it. If they find corruption they gather evidence and refer for prosecution. That's NOT what you advocated
Conversations were recorded between foreign agents. Legally. American names mentioned in those conversation were "masked" . It is completely normal when a National Security Advisor to have them unmasked in order to understand what was being talked about. In fact until unmasked...she didn't know what those names were
You have a point but the next step involved Obama changing and expanding who could view the intel. One of them was Podesta thus the interest in hacking his computer for info. There is only one reason to include more people and that is the political calculation. A point to remember here is that the FBI does the investigations, not the White House.
Another point to remember is that Rice has already lied about this saying she knew nothing about the unmasking when it is now apparent that she did.
Do Not Buy that line of pure bunk.A National Security Advisor does not Investigate.That is what the F.B.I. and CIA are charged with doing. Rice managed to Request the Unmasking NOT for any National Emergency or concern for the safety of America.Which would be her duty.Instead she USED the Unmasking of " detailed spreadsheets " in an effort to play politics with the Donald Trump as candidate. She requested not to safeguard our Country but to be used for leaking in an effort to smear and besmirch Trump and associates when the time came to unravel his Presidency. This is THE Lowest form of Politics this country ever witnessed. Much deeper in scope and seriousness than Watergate. This is what guys like Joseph Stalin used to take over and dominate Old Russia.The gradual process of smearing and framing opponents.Same thing Hitler pulled against the Berlin Communists.
m The new takeaway is that She wasn't the one who leaked. meaning guys like CNN's Don lemmon do not wanna talk about any leaking as regards to Rice.That the Unmasking and any leaking are TWO Separate Debates/Issue. What a load a crap.That's the new takeaway.Because they feel cover in that a National Security Advisor Can request unmasking { only in the context of a National Emergency } but that Leaking is never allowed by anyone,ever in Government. So the Left is doing everything they can to separate any Leaking from Unmasking.Like it's ridiculous that Rice could be The leaker or One of the leakers. Because leaking is a major felony.It demands jail time. Someone Did leak General Flynn's name.
They've been trying to find something nefarious in the interaction between global business people and some of the wealthiest oligarchs on the planet, natural interactions, and they haven't. Failing that, after the election Obama knew who the transition team was going to have to contact on the world stage and had them surveilled to listen in on the Trump team --- 'incidentally'.
