Experts Say Susan Rice Had Every Right To Request ‘Unmasking’ In Intel Reports
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.”

Speaking of lynch, how awesome would it be if the next time she talks to a former president or presidential candidate it would be back and forth from one jail cell to another.

I don't that is allowed, but nice thought.

We have no Justice is this Country at all. Hillary, ERIC Holder, Louis Lerner, Wasserman Schultz, Weiner, Donna Beeville the list goes on. They should all be in jail getting porked by Bobbie. Either shit or get of the pot Trump/Sessions. Where is all this talk of bringing law and order in this Country. Heads need to roll now!!

 

[spat]

So, they weren't wiretapping trump, but he was colluding with the Russians, and they have the wiretaps to prove it ?

And if recordings are ever released, the technology to fake them, without detection, is available.

1984, indeed!

Trump cannot make this happen by himself .. I fear after committee and sub committee hearings .... The deep state will bury the truth....

Ask Sheryl Atkinson.

After she stated investigating Obama scandals, mysteriously enough illegal files appeared in her personal computer which were promptly discovered by the government discrediting her and forcing her resignation or face a trial.

I'm sure it was just an unrelated coincidence.

Why Susan Rice’s Reported ‘Unmasking’ of Trump Officials Raises Very Serious Legal Concerns for Her
Some defenders of Rice suggests she could label anything she wanted of “foreign intelligence value,” under the implementing regulatory protocols and thereby label it “foreign intelligence information” under the statute. The law is not so broad. Instead, the statute requires “foreign intelligence information” be “necessary to” the “conduct” of “foreign affairs” and to the person’s position, and further employs a more limiting specific definition in the regulations in USSID for warrant-less seizures, as necessary to make it constitutional under the 4th Amendment. That definition is limited to criminal conduct type behavior, or its security equivalent. That is why the regulatory protocols give specific “examples of the type of information that meet this standard” of “foreign intelligence value.” What are those examples? Criminal-type behavior or imminent security risks. Why those restrictions? Because that makes it conform to the First and Fourth Amendment limitations on the intercept of Americans’ private political conversations. The examples are not prohibitive of like conduct being included, but it must be like conduct — e.g., criminal-type behavior or imminent-safety risk. Why? So it can be constitutional under the 4th Amendment, because the act of unmasking is an act of invading Americans’ privacy, covered by the 4th Amendment, and political speech in private is a right protected by the First Amendment. This is the biggest mistake the Obama defenders have been making, and reflects their lack of understanding of the law’s Constitutional context and legislative history. Put most simply, neither the 1st Amendment nor the 4th Amendment has a “talking to foreigners” exception.

Hence, the reason Schiff was so shifty on Jake Tapper on Sunday after Schiff read the unmasked intel at the invite of the White House last week. Was it because he saw unmasked identities on conversations that could not fit any of those very narrow, constricted, limited legal circumstances allowed? Susan Rice feigned no knowledge of any “incidental” intercepts just a few a weeks back. Why say so if she thought it never happened and any unmasking was completely legal?

Watergate-style Wiretapping Confirmed
A very disturbing report has come out from Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Fox News that Hillary Clinton and six top staffers kept their Top Secret and/or Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearances after she left her Secretary of State position in 2013. And they also kept their physical access to TS/SCI facilities and databases, which required those TS/SCI clearances, possibly up through the 2016 election and beyond.

The facilities are called SCIFs, Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities, pronounced “skiffs,” which are vault-like secure buildings or rooms for protecting the most sensitive intelligence and defense data.

Hillary and her cronies may still have their SCIF clearances and access even today in 2017. The State Department has stonewalled Senator Grassley, Fox News and Judicial Watch for months, refusing to answer questions about such outrageous continued access to the most highly sensitive secrets by the most reckless and irresponsible official in all of history.

The Hillary staffers with continued SCIF access for bogus “memoir research” and book writing for their boss include Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills and Jake Sullivan.
Watergate-style Wiretapping Confirmed


This raises the ominous possibility that the Obama administration deliberately spread raw wiretap intercepts of Donald Trump phone calls and communications throughout the government in Obama’s twilight days so that Hillary’s people could do the leaking of the intercepts, thus giving Obama officials “plausible deniability.” The Obama people could deny that “they” leaked anything, if it was Hillary people with illegal and potentially criminal SCIF access who may have done the leaking.

So the mania over Russia now makes sense. Obummer was illegally spying on Trump and believed that the hag was going to win so he could cover his tracks.

When Trump won it was a holy shit moment for the Dem leadership knowing they could get discovered. They great the Russian boogeyman and have been screaming it ever since to get ahead of the problem and create the dialogue. So now they can justify the spying as they were watching the Russians. Still no evidence there though.

The corruption in DC is more pervasive than anyone believed. Trump has a lot on his plate trying to drag n the swamp.

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.

“The overheard conversations involved no illegal activity by anybody of the Trump associates, or anyone they were speaking with,” diGenova said. “In short, the only apparent illegal activity was the unmasking of the people in the calls.”

Experts said the Titanic was unsinkable too. I just hope Sessions has the integrity to pursue this stuff, but given the apparent reach of the "deep state", I have my doubts this will ever get turned around.

Until these people are charged with treason and given the death penalty our country is doomed.

 

[BerettaGuy]

i am soooo sick of all this crap.
Fact! Trump beat Hillary. It wasn't because of the Russians. It was, because everyone on her side is out of touch. Period.
The way to fight this is:
Trump should tweet out a tweet.
Evidently the Dems and the media are not concerned that the previous administration was spying on political enemies.
Let this be the final notice then. Chuck Schumer - Diane Feinstien - Waters - Don : "hands up don't shoot" Lemon and the rest of you assholes had better start using payphones because there is a new sheriff in the swamp.

Don't hold your breath, you'll pass out first. I say again, as far as I'm concerned the sole purpose of the Trump presidency is merely to allow me to catch up on my gun and ammo stocks. I am making good on this. In four or eight years the real change will occur.

Note anything that disagrees with them is considered to be fake or propaganda.

They won't admit it proves they were "wiretapping " trump which they claimed was a lie.

She had probable cause and reasonable suspicion to have the names unmasked it was all legal ... leave her alone ...
