Susan Rice’s world is falling apart.
The Obama adviser requested the identities of people connected to the Donald Trump transition team and campaign.
But while her “unmasking” was baseless, President Trump’s NSA adviser H.R. McMaster oddly just defended Susan Rice.
Rice has become the sacrificial lamb of Obama’s Deep State.
But there are obviously other Deep State plants within the government and one of them might just be NSA adviser H.R. McMaster.
Breitbart reports:
“President Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster has reportedly concluded that former Obama official Susan Rice did nothing wrong by unmasking the identities of Trump transition officials in conversations with Russian officials.
Two United States intelligence officials told Bloomberg’s Eli Lake that McMaster has concluded that Rice did nothing wrong.
That assertion is at odds with Trump’s thinking, as he repeatedly raised the Rice story during speeches and media interviews.
“I think the Susan Rice thing is a massive story,” Trump said in an interview with the New York Times, suggesting that it was possible that she may have committed a crime.
On April 12, Trump used the story to defend his accusations that the Obama administration was spying and leaking on his transition team in an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo.
“When you look at Susan Rice and what’s going on and so many people are coming up to me and apologizing now,” Trump said.
“They say, ‘You know, you were right when you said that.’”
When Bartiromo told Trump that Rice denied doing anything political, he dismissed it.
“Does anyone really believe that?” he said.
“Nobody believes that, even the people that try to protect her in the news media.”

And if that wasn’t bad enough, McMaster also promised Susan Rice that she could keep her security clearance with access to classified information by official letter.

Even worse is that President Trump was not aware of his actions.
And apparently their affection for each other is mutual.
Congrats to Lt Gen McMaster. I wish you every success as National Security Advisor.

All of this smells fishy and the pitchforks are coming out for McMaster now.
And while the dismissals of Ezra Cohen-Watnick, Rich Higgins, and Derek Harvey have exacerbated friction between McMaster and the White House, it seems as though McMaster might have sinister ulterior motives.
