He hired a Russian mole. What's to love? |
If Rice did request "unmasking" the decision to do that is not unilateral - it has to be approved by the NSA, Adm. Rogers' agency. So, as you just admitted, there must have been a “national security implication,” or if a “criminal activity” was being discussed. Secondly, Mike Flynn's name was leaked after many people, including Congress, was briefed on this. It's ridiculous to believe that Susan Rice was leaker, except for the fact that she's become one of the bogeymen of the Benghazi-obsessed crowd. Keep deflecting guys - every time you do more gets leaked (ie: Erik Prince's meeting in the Seychelles). |
If you work for DoD they want to know about all your associations with foreign nationals. Heck, we have to report when we go abroad and the intent for the travel. Failure to report can lead to investigation and termination. |
Drop the euphemisms. Monitoring the co versatility me of your political opponents isn't incidental collection. It's corrupt and it's spying... |
The dint soy in you though |

It's not a euphemism, it's jargon. If you don't like the jargon, get a job in the IC and change it. |
So, when an official asks for names to be unmasked, I assume that they need to give a reason for such a request. And, rationale for that reason.
Rice can clear all this up by testifying as to why such a request was made. Will she testify? Or, will she take “the 5th" like Lois Lerner and others in this administration? To be honest, Susan Rice has no credibility with me or millions of other Americans. Her lies regarding Benghazi and her words about Bergdahl have exposed her as untrustworthy. |
We are talking about different things: yes, you have to report all your foreign contacts if you have a clearance. Rice unmasked the identities of private citizens. |
She probably can't talk about it because the information is classified. |
But but but.... Hillary! And what about Flynn's constitutional right to spy for Moscow? |
She can talk to the Congressional committees that oversee this type of activity. But, will she? |
Agree. I don't see any benefits from her testimony since she lost all her credibility. |
She might talk to the Senate committee. The House committee has already shown that they are unable to keep classified information private. |
She could explain a lot. I suspect the admin does not want her to. And she definitely has credibility with me. |
