So many people don't get this. Trump wasn't wiretapped. Trump's people were talking to foreign officials who were being wiretapped. And so, Trump's people were picked up on the tap. The big question is, why were Trump's people talking to foreign officials under surveillance?

Rice was National Security Advisor. If foreign officials are talking about US presidential candidates after US political institutions were hacked, it's Rice's job to see what those officials are saying and about whom.

I'm not surprised that the GOP & conservative media are so shameless and hypocritical that they're persisting with these bogus claims to distract from a legitimate investigation into election interference. What surprises me is how many American voters are so dumb and malleable that they actually believe this bullshit and can't see what's going on around them.

Problem: This was during the transition. Trump was already elected. There is nothing wrong with speaking to foreign officials. In fact, it is customary.

No, this all started well before Trump was elected, and the communications were anything but normal and customary. And, it happened at the height of Russian meddling in our election.

Well, according to WAPO, they have been following Page for years. I watched him interviewed and found him kind of strange-but. espionage? Don't think so. Seems like if there was anything there, he would have already been charged.

Seems like if there was evidence, they would have been able to get a FISA warrant against him...
Oh wait...

As Comey stated, the investigation is still ongoing. And, based on the information CNN reported last night, Nunes is now in the hot seat as well.

Yes. The CNN reporter is a former Obama staffer. Funny, how he forgets to disclose that.

Nice try. Post is reporting it as well. You know, the paper that just won a PULITZER for it's reporting. (David Farenhold)

So... you can continue to bury your head in the sand and ignore real news, or keep believing the propaganda you are being fed. Your choice.

So that is why the White House Press Secretary is spending a live, uninterrupted hour on CNN this morning?

Trumpkins don't like real news. Too many pesky facts. Too many uncomfortable truths. To many sides and dimensions of reality - things are complicated and it gets confusing. They have to reckon with their hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance about Dear Leader ... Too painful.

Trump may have been elected, but he was not President. That means it is the duty of the President in charge to look at the intelligence related to the national security problem. That's what Rice did - her job. She examined the intelligence and shared it in a classified setting with other parts of the government so they are aware of the situation - no charges were brought, no attempt to roll back the election results, just situational awareness.

And, there must have been no evidence of collusion--because, had there been, you can be sure the Obama White House would have assured that we know it.

This was a political decision on her part--just look at the evidence of her lies in the past. Do you really think she believed it was a spontaneous demonstration over a video? That was a lie for political sake. There are other examples at the midterm election that she withheld information for political purposes. And, just look at the elimination of chemical weapons in Syria.

I don't like at all that the Russians hacked or released private information--but what was released was partly a result of the arrogance of the DNC and Podesta that they did not realize that NOTHING is private.

OMG, you fool. If the Obama White House had unmasked Trump and started waving classified intelligence around saying that Trump colluded with the Russians, then that would be a political play. But they didn't. Instead, the Obama White House did what they should - they turned the matter over to the FBI for investigation. It's the FBI's job (not the White House) to run such investigations. That investigation is ongoing because - surprise - sensitive and complex political investigations take time. If the FBI finds no collusion, they will say so, and they are much more trustworthy than the White House.

Rice didn't leak anything - the Trump White House leaked classified information to Nunes, and Nunes leaked to the press to cover for the President's wild accusations. So who's being political?

Do you have a link for that bolded statement?
And, you are correct - the FBI should be doing the investigation. So, why did an Obama appointee, Susan Rice, conduct her own little private investigation? Why was it SHE who unmasked these folks?

For someone with a lot of opinions, you sure aren't paying attention. There are loads of articles answering your questions.

Here's a link on Nunes: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/30/us/politics/devin-nunes-intelligence-reports.html

Here's a link on the legal procedure for unmasking: http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/homeland-security/327202-rice-was-within-legal-rights-to-unmask-trump-associates

I feel like you'll need to read each article three times to break through your ideological programming. It might help your objectivity if you replace the words "Obama" with "Trump," "Rice" with "McMaster," "Trump" with "Clinton," and "Nunes" with "Schiff." Just imagine how you'd react if the parties were reversed.

Schiff needs to go.

Couldn't you have just swallowed the kook aid at Jonestown?

Schiff isn't the one obstructing justice and playing games with the media in collusion with the White House.
