Must read regarding Susan Rice...

Malcolm Nance recommended this article on Twitter. I just wanted to add... I hope the MSM doesn't fall for the shiny keys that the corrupt Trump administrations dangling. This is about Trump and his band of crooks colluding with Russia.

"If Ms. Rice was communicating with members of Trump's team regarding transition matters and she learns from intelligence that some such members also are communicating with the Russians, she would want to know exactly who is doing that so she can be extra careful in her own talks, lest something she says gets relayed to Moscow," Pillar said."

to unmask someone, even in the Trump campaign. As long as she followed the protocols/rules and did not leak or disseminate illegally. so what....

Even if she violated the law and is going to jail, it still does not make the allegations against the Trumpkins go away...............may just mean, given the right scenario........Flynn and Rice are both in prison at the same time Trump is throwing fits in the Trump Phallus and fending off impeachment.

Also this was for national security reasons not political reasons. Any reasonable person would think this info would have been released before the election if it were about politics.

the Donald and his comrades were succeeding so well with their bullshit. I don't do the cable news thing, but hopefully they are reporting the answers to the Donald's questions. Like the job of a Foreign Policy Adviser, and why such a person would want to fully understand the classified information they are given....rather than watch Fox news. it's sad to see competence and Intelligence lose to bombastic, arrogant attempts to clean up the Donald's image at anyone else's expense.
