Many of us still remember when Susan Rice lied her ass off on national television following the Benghazi attacks.\u00a0 Other than Bill and Hillary Clinton there have been very few political figures so willing to look the American people straight in the eye and lie.\u00a0 Incredibly the main stream media so quick to call Donald Trump a liar if he disagrees with the size of the crowd at his inauguration didn\u2019t seem to notice and certainly did not care.\u00a0 When is the last time you heard anyone in the main stream media call Susan Rice a liar?<\/p>\n
President Obama rewarded her performance by appointing her to be his National Security Advisor.\u00a0 It is important to note that this appointment does not require Senate approval and put Rice in a position where Obama could invoke executive privilege to prevent her from testifying before congress.<\/p>\n
This reminds me of a scene from a Bridge Too Far<\/u><\/strong>.\u00a0 General James M Gavin, played by Ryan O\u2019Neal asks Major Julian Cook, played by Robert Redford to lead an assault across the river, in small unarmed boats, under fire.\u00a0 Gavin tells Cook that he needs someone willing, able and stupid enough to carry out the assignment.\u00a0 Those are the same qualifications President Obama recognized in Susan Rice.\u00a0 If she was not aware that everything she said on those Sunday Talk Shows was utter nonsense, then she is beyond stupid.\u00a0 If she did know and still lied then she is even more stupid.<\/p>\n Now there are numerous reports that Nunes has solid evidence that Susan Rice personally asked to have members of the Trump campaign and\/or transition team unmasked from intelligence reports.\u00a0 This apparently was requested in writing.\u00a0 Like I said: stupid!<\/strong> This is way beyond bad.\u00a0 This explains exactly why Devin Nunes responded the way he did and why he gave immediate notice to President Trump.\u00a0 It is impossible to even pretend that Susan Rice did this without Obama\u2019s knowledge and consent.<\/p>\n This scandal is now perilously close to directly involving President Obama. The hounds are on the blood trail and it leads directly to President Barack Obama and the Oval Office.\u00a0 The only real question is whether the main stream media will ever admit the seriousness of these allegations.\u00a0 They have been pretending that the \u201cpotential\u201d<\/strong> collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia is the big story.\u00a0 The problem is that they have zero evidence of this.\u00a0 The other problem is that there is zero evidence that Russia had any impact on the election.\u00a0 In addition, Trump is spot on when he says that Clinton had a lot more direct personal connections with Russia than anyone remotely connected with the Trump campaign.\u00a0 Trump is not a rino Republican afraid of his shadow.\u00a0 He can and will fight back and if Democrats pursue this story, we are going to learn a lot more about the Clinton Foundation and Bill\u2019s $500,000 speaking fees.\u00a0 In contrast to the lack of evidence regarding the Trump campaign there is a mountain of evidence regarding the Clintons.<\/p>\n Nunes was not disclosing Susan Rice\u2019s name because he was too busy building his case.\u00a0 Now that her name has been leaked, it is probably only a matter of hours before she is called to testify. If Obama tries to prevent her from testifying, on the basis of \u201cExecutive Privilege<\/strong>\u201d that will create several problems.\u00a0 One is that the Supreme Court ruled against Richard Nixon when he tried to use Executive Privilege to avoid the Watergate scandal.\u00a0 In addtion if Obama claims executive privilege it will be considered by at least some people to be an admission of guilt.\u00a0 On the other hand, if he does not invoke Executive Privilege, Susan Rice will be asked to testify under oath. I predict her asking for protection under the 5th<\/sup> Amendement.\u00a0 Susan Rice should already be lawyering up and she might seriously consider upgrading her personal security.\u00a0 Otherwise Rice Crispy will be more than a cute headline.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.aol.com\/article\/news\/2017\/04\/03\/obama-adviser-susan-rice-sought-names-trump-officials-intelligence-reports\/22024089\/<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n Democrats are going to try dismiss this as minor compared to the much more significant problem of Trump working with Russia to steal the election.\u00a0 That probably would work, with the New York Times, USA Today and the Los Angeles Times. It has already worked, predictably, with CNN.\u00a0 While there are certainly a lot of liberals who will continue to buy that nonsense, I doubt that there are enough of them to carry the day.\u00a0 Remember, there weren\u2019t nearly enough of them stupid enough to vote for Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n The bottom line is that it is increasingly clear that, once again, the Obama administration abused power for political reasons.\u00a0 It is long past time for Democrats to get over the fact that Hillary Clinton lost and start paying attention.\u00a0 Abuse of power is not a minor problem and it threatens everyone, not just the Tea Party.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TDM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many of us still remember when Susan Rice lied her ass off on national television following the Benghazi attacks.\u00a0 Other than Bill and Hillary Clinton there have been very few political figures so willing to look the American people straight … Continue reading
