Nothing and that is the problem. They were spying on someone that was a private citizen and then spied on his campaign.

It may not be necessarily illegal, but it does paint her as an absolute liar.

Just two weeks ago she was blathering on about how she knew nothing of this unmasking business and that it was nonsense for the Trump administration to pander.

Hopefully she comes out of hiding and tries to clarify so that she can be further humiliated and shamed into irrelevance- again.

Yes, why the unmasking? Do you really need to unmask Trump's people? Is Rice so stupid that she couldn't find out who these people are without unmasking them? Why release to the media? If they had anything real on Trump, none of the secretly releasing stuff is necessary. The unmasking was purely political.

If the Obama administration had ANYTHING on Trump's administration, you can bet your arse it would be front and center for all to see. It wouldn't be this Russia, Russia, Russian BS with nothing to show for it. Nobody gave a frick about Russian until Hillary and the Dems got they asses beat. They needed an excuse for Hillary's loss and a way to undermine Trump, so Russia is what they went with.

White House transition apparently. This has potential to get ugly for your team, Decatur.

Like trump but not really as 1 lie hardly compares to the hundreds told by trump in just a couple of months (I can link to lists of hundreds of trump's verifiably false statements since Jan 20th if need be).

Here comes the spin cycle


I said months ago that when it finally was unavoidable that Obama spied on his political opponents, liberals would defend it

That's why they've NEVER said "it isn't true but it would be bad us they did"

Liberals BELIEVE in using the government against their political opponents.

That's been true all over the world for a hundred years

Someone posted it yesterday but I knew the spin from the bootlickers would be "what was "Trump doing so nefariously that Obama's administration had to spy on and illegally leak his information?"
Obama was the President and would be involved in who Russian diplomats were talking to, especially when it came to undermining foreign relations / sanctions. Obviously nothing was released that altered the election.

I'm glad someone else is seeing this bluff. All they can say is Russia, Russia, Russia, they cannot tell anyone what it is they have on Trump. The best they can do is a minor skin on the wall due to Flynn not telling Pence the whole of his encounter with the Russian Ambassador....lost in all of this is intel officials periodically letting slip that the content of the conversation was not damning.

If this were a Poker game and I had even a moderately winning hand, I would start upping the ante on the pot. Oh, your showing me Sessions...so what that's like a pair of 7's? I'll raise you a Ben Rhoades. What? a Devin Nunes meeting with Trump officials pertaining to intel? Okay, all in, now put up or shut up!!!! Show me the damning stuff. I'll bet there is another 7 in there, But I've got a pair of Jacks showing

One of the great things about the last few years so is that now, liberals openly admit What they are.

Complete totalitarians

This is what happened:

Putin tipped off Team Trump that Obama was surveilling them.

Team Trump had no where to go to report that information. Obama would have denied the accusation and he would have painted Trump as a conspiracy theorist ensuring him losing the election. Furthermore Comey was compromised. He was working on behalf of Obama.

Trump's only way to vindicate he and his team was to goad the Obama administration in, win the election and then expose them.

You are now on the verge of seeing the Obama administration getting exposed.

I knew the second I read that part of the Bloomberg opinion piece that drones like you would ignore its facts and obvious implications and cite the editorial bloomberg spin as gospel truth. At least you are predictably consistent.

And yet all reports indicate this had nothing to do with the russian inquiry so there goes that fig leaf.

The TRUTH question is what was a sitting POTUS mixed up in that necessitated unmasking?????


That IS a legitimate question.

Now, no matter what any American is involved in, leaking that stuff to unauthorized persons is illegal though

None of your business without a warrant. If there is concern, a case should be made and approved by a judge - that's how individual freedoms are protected.

Political figures exposing conversations and exploiting them for political purposes are how individual freedoms are abused.

Fwiw - if there was collusion w/Russians, I have no prob with Trump being held accountable. But there's a legal way to do it. Then there's the way the Obama admin went about it.

Rice's requests to unmask the names of Trump transition officials does not vindicate Trump's own tweets from March 4 in which he accused Obama of illegally tapping Trump Tower. There remains no evidence to support that claim.

The standard for senior officials to learn the names of U.S. persons incidentally collected is that it must have some foreign intelligence value, a standard that can apply to almost anything. This suggests Rice's unmasking requests were likely within the law.


Right, she used the law and agencies to spy on a political opponent.

What this boards been saying for weeks.

Or as trump has been saying: watergate level shite
