Snowden exposed the Obama administration’s illegal surveillance program. Nunes exposed the illegal unmasking of Americans who were caught up in surveillance under the Obama administration, leftist groups attacked Nunes in a shocking display of “liberals” openly protesting in support of the deep state! Now, Democrats either ignore or defend Susan Rice in their continued acceptance of police state.
Democrats are now actively in full SUPPORT of the police state if it is used against people they don’t like.
Stalin would be so proud.
{It would not let me quote Petch?}
For every Democrat that is defending Susan Rice. If you consider this legal, that means that it's legal for Trump to do the same thing in 2020. Is this what you want?
It's 100% legal for Trump to ask to have an identity "unmasked" during any intel briefings he receives right now - no need to wait for 2020.
Once again it appears that Trump was right: the conspiracy theory that a close Obama associate worked to "unmask" the Trump team, resulting in the ongoing media spectacle over "collusion" between Trump and the Kremlin, has been confirmed, first by Mike Cernovich, and now by Bloomberg itself.
As noted last night, Journalist and author Mike Cernovich dropped an exclusive bombshell - naming Obama's National Security Advisor Susan Rice as the official responsible for the 'unmasking' of the incoming Trump team during 'incidental' surveillance. This was apparently discovered after the White House Counsel's office reviewed Rice's document log requests:
The reports Rice requested to see are kept under tightly-controlled conditions. Each person must log her name before being granted access to them.
Upon learning of Rice’s actions, [National Security Advisor] H. R. McMaster dispatched his close aide Derek Harvey to Capitol Hill to brief Chairman Nunes.
Cernovich pointed out, as revealed in an article by Circa, that President Obama began loosening the rules regarding "incidental intercepts" starting in 2011 - making it easier for the US Government to spy on individuals who are not the primary target(s) of a surveillance operation.
As his presidency drew to a close, Barack Obama’s top aides routinely reviewed intelligence reports gleaned from the National Security Agency’s incidental intercepts of Americans abroad, taking advantage of rules their boss relaxed starting in 2011 to help the government better fight terrorism, espionage by foreign enemies and hacking threats
And guess who had authorization to unmask individuals who were 'incidentally' surveilled? Former CIA Director John Brennan, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and Obama's National Security advisor Susan Rice. Also of note is the claim that New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman has been sitting on the Susan Rice story for at least two days:
Do you realize that if Rice requested those names be unmasked without a court order or warrant that is a felony right? Do you care?
No, he doesn't care.
