Better git while the gitting is good. You confused it with the post, lol.

That guy on twitter is real, BTW. He's no liberal. He's called a lot of stuff before it happened.

Sergei,

Of course intelligence would unmask those picked up incidentally if they were involved in treasonous activity........duh!

America first comrades!

Well for one thing sniper, the title says she "ordered" the "unmasking", while the body says she "requested it".
Most of the editorial is just spin and speculation around that one tidbit that attempts to say there was wrongdoing on the part of the Obama admin. with no facts to support it.

I don't think the LSOS leaked the details, I suspect that Cohen-Watnick did, in order to try and spin the story.

Not sure how widely an "unmasking" has to be revealed. Seems it could be unmasked to other investigators under authorization, without being disseminated to the entire world.

Sort of like Jason Chaffetz tweeting about Comey re-opening Hillary's weiner-gate 2 days before the general election.

Wondering if there was some tit-for-tat blowback toward Comey involved...

God only knows what our spooks are really up to at any given moment, but I've seen other law enforcement agencies participate in some shenanigans.

Anything to fix Trump's tweet about wiretapping.  That was a game-changer and will sink him if it's not fixed. The current writhing over the "truth" is similar to Al Queda/WMD Iraq.  Square peg, round hole.

There is a reason this stuff is coming up and why the republicans are trying to ram Gorsuch into the Supreme Court.

I have a feeling it's really getting ready to hit the fan.

I was right.

That too.

Even if this is deemed legal, it is setting the tone for what repubs can do next election

Trump will fight dirty, unlike previously sackless repubs

We know that people in the PiC's administration were reviewing Trump et al's conversations. That isn't even in dispute anymore. Whether it is illegal or not, I don't know. But I do know that it is at least shady to be listening in on a rival campaign's conversations. I don't think your side would be real cool if, for example, Trump were to do that to, say, Warren in 2020.

If I were you, I wouldn't get to excited about Trump colluding with Russian on the campaign. If there were something out there, we would have known it by now. We know that many people in the PiC's administration were privy to these transcripts. And, they haven't been reticent in illegally leaking that information. See, e.g., Gen. Flynn. I am afraid that what they had on Flynn is as good as it gets for you guys.

Not sure Benghazi was a let down at all. By the time of the election, most people knew that both the PiC and Clinton had lied about the cause of Bengahzi. I believe that that was one of the factors that cause the electorate to not trust Clinton.

It is interesting to now watch the right squirm and posture on things they hope are primed properly in their preferred media.  Of course, the right wing media did mention, albeit in passing, no laws have been broken.  The right routinely takes that statement to the grave, with bravado when it fits the bill, and the fifth when it occasions not to.  Hey look, even the kook lawyer chimed in to cough up some FUD. 

The point here, I think, is that the right will go nuts over a speck of nothing while ignoring a laundry list longer than Comey's arm that even other Republicans are concerned about. Other. Republicans. Plus possible treason. Treason.

That's where we are. If I were you I would be deeply concerned.

Starting to look bad for the PiC. This scandal will fully expose the PiC for the POS that he is. I doubt that they were just spying on Trump. Have to think he was spying on all of them. Bet the PiC shat in his pants when Trump won and realized that all of this would get out. Good to know that ass is sweating.

Zzzzzzz.. Zzzzzzz.. Braaaaaapp!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

so,
Susan Rice was doing her job, reviewing intelligence reports?

Cool story bros

Zzz

Why was the trump campaign talking secretly with a hostile foreign government?

That's the question, anyone in us government investigating it were doing their job.

The house is on fire and they want to investigate who called 911.

No, sorry, it isn't, just another dead red herring.

The Benghazi investigation went on for years, so to think the trump Russia connection will dry up over night is simply wrong. The clusterfck know has Trumpcare is alive and well in the American mind and will continue to fester, possibly to the point of explosion when people begin to lose their insurance. That will lead us to the midterms and a changing of the guard in congress will afford the opposing party the power to open a myriad of investigations.

This is just the beginning.

"Russia said that it talked with the teams of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during the U.S. presidential election as part of routine outreach during a campaign."

It is funny that several of you have mentioned the possibility of people pleading the 5th. I would be very surprised if Susan Rice isn't pleading the 5th before it is all said and done.

That's some particularly weak spin.

Maybe. Based on the reports, the information she was requesting/ordering was not related to a criminal investigation or pertaining to anything to do with Russia. As of right now, it appears to be more of a political in nature. Her position was that of a political appointee, appointed by Barack Obama. She was not elected. She was there to serve BHO. If she shared any of the information she gathered from her research on the Trump campaign with her boss or with quite a few other people then she is in deep shit.
