Why is this thread 14 pages long?

Who knows?

Because a bunch of Soviet bots and trolls keep grasping at the most tenuous of nothingburgers.

Yes. Everyone who disagrees with you is in fact a Soviet bot. Good call.

You are--unwitting or not, Sergei.

You clearly don't even know what a "bot" is.

That is a racist comment on your part. It is also a deflection.

Rice did not have to "leak" the information--because she "unmasked" the name(s), the change in Obama's rules allowed the information to be disseminated widely --in other words, she was able to get the information to lots of people without "leaking"......

As for making her the boogeyman, she has done that to herself. She has proven herself a liar at least three times that I can count:

1. The Benghazi "video"--she lied on five Sunday talk shows.
2. Berghdahl served with "honor and distinction"--if that is not a lie, then she is stupid.
3. On PBS last month when she knew nothing about the surveillance.

The "unmasking" is done only for the person who asked for it. It doesn't get disseminated more widely than that. If you are accusing her of sending classified documents with unmasked names to "lots of people" show your proof that she did this.

He is going to end up with some revealed Russian connection or blackmail. That Montenegro vote was a true wtf.

That much should be obvious to all.

I beg to differ. It isn't obvious. She was doing her job.
But as the PP pointed out, the larger questions are:

1. If the conversations between Trump's people and the wiretapped foreigners were completely benign, why were the transcripts brought to Rice's attention?

2. What was in the transcripts that made her want to know who the Americans were?

The White House is not allowed to investigate anything. They can only ask for an investigation to be opened. So for Rice to have that information in a database? Political.

Rand Paul has always been concerned about government snooping--pay attention. He has been concerned about it for years.

For US political reasons or for Russian political reasons? Nowadays, it seems you need to specify.

By "Russian reasons," are you referring to a fake scandal manufactured by Team Obama?

The evidence is mounting that Obama orchestrated this as a sophisticated dis-information operation.

Here we thought the Clinton's were bad when Bush took over. All roads lead to Obama on this.

Nice try. Talk about Disinformation. You have been on this board all day trying to stir up a controversy where there is none.
It was her job to look deeper. She requested the unmasking.

Again, lets back up a minute. She wasn't the one who was having conversations with nefarious characters that happened to be caught. She just asked that the name of the person who was having the conversation be identified. You can try and make this a political 'witchhunt' but it isn't going to work. No amount of deflection is going to take away from the RUSSIA investigation.

It is the job of the NSA to be aware of, among other things, how our adversaries see US politics and how that impacts their strategy.

She cannot hold nor distribute this data

And she claims she didn't. The burden of proof is on those who claim she did.

Very good explanation of how the investigation process works. Worth a read. White House does not (or is not supposed to) investigate.
