Despite Democrats’ best efforts, Susan Rice’s latest scandal isn’t going away.
Rice, Barack Obama’s National Security Adviser, whipped up a dust storm when it came to light she unmasked the identities of Trump associates tangentially related to NSA surveillance of foreign targets.
Unmasking the identity of American citizens for political purposes is illegal, so Rice could be in hot water. And now, those documents are in the wind.
The documents were whisked away to the Barack Obama Presidential Library in Illinois and sealed for five years.
From Breitbart:
The National Security Council cannot hand over records relating to former National Security Adviser Susan Rice’s surveillance of Americans, because they have been moved to the Obama presidential library and may be sealed for as many as five years, conservative watchdog Judicial Watch announced Monday.
The NSC informed Judicial Watch in a letter dated May 23 that materials related to Rice’s requests to know the identities of Americans swept up in surveillance of foreign targets, including any Trump campaign or transition officials, have been moved to the library.
The NSC’s Director of Access Management John Powers said in the letter:
“Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.”
Judicial Watch earlier this year filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for those documents, including of communications between Rice and any intelligence community member or agency regarding any Russian involvement in the 2016 elections, the hacking of Democratic National Committee computers, or any suspected communications between Russia and Trump officials.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said the group will seek to find out when the records were moved, and warned of legal actions. He said:
“Prosecutors, Congress, and the public will want to know when the National Security Council shipped off the records about potential intelligence abuses by the Susan Rice and others in the Obama White House to the memory hole of the Obama Presidential Library. We are considering our legal options but we hope that the Special Counsel and Congress also consider their options and get these records.”
The timing and optics of this are troubling. As soon as the heat turns up on Rice, she abruptly ceases doing interviews, refuses to testify before Congress, and now the documents are sealed from the public in the Obama Presidential Library.
The article continued:
In April, blogger Mike Cernovich, Bloomberg, and Fox News revealed that Rice had requested to “unmask” — or unveil the hidden names of — Trump transition officials who were caught up in surveillance of foreign targets.
Typically, in surveillance of foreign targets’ communications, U.S. citizens mentioned or participating in them would have their names “masked,” or hidden, due to ethical, legal, and privacy concerns. However, government consumers of the intelligence can request to have their names unmasked if it is important to understanding the communications.
According to Cernovich, The White House Counsel’s office identified Rice as the person who had requested the unmasking, after examining her log requests, Cernovich reported on April 2. Bloomberg and Fox News would later corroborate the report. The revelation lent credence to Trump’s assertion that the Obama administration had been surveilling his transition team.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board has argued Rice had no reason to request the unmaskings. Since then, the House intelligence committee has also subpoenaed the intelligence community for information on unmasking requests by Rice, former CIA Director John Brennan, and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power.
The misuse of unmasking came under media scrutiny after U.S. officials illegally leaked to the Washington Post a private conversation between former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak on December 24. Flynn resigned after those communications, not because anything inappropriate was found, but because he had misrepresented those communications to Vice President Mike Pence.
People on the left scoffed when Trump said he was under surveillance by the Obama administration.
But Susan Rice’s actions, and now the traveling documents, vindicate Trump and certainly give the appearance of impropriety.
The mystery of the documents hasn’t been solved yet, but it definitely does not look like benign activity.
Looks like obstruction of justice
Looks a lot like an Anti-American activity!!!
Typical blacks!
Rodney, race has nothing (or should have) to do with this.
But it does.

Good to hear from you buddy. I have had a steak of losers. One libertarian could not comprehend a comment I made, called me dumb for not looking for a better job. Foolish me, tried to explain I am retired for over ten years now. Then the hate mail I must not have worked for it. Then tried to explain to the idiots, last year alone QM2 NYC to Southampton. Travelled Europe, talking to people and America. Then Solctice from .Civateccia Rome through islands to Florida. Then just returned on Holland America Volendam Tokyo/ Yokohama and through inland passage. Great opportunity to spread the message of MAGA., Tonight at dinner at an Italian restaurant the duo wished all happy holiday. The table next to us turned and said loudly to us, not with this president. They were Canadian, I believe. I said to them because of this president.
Anyway the whole thing started on a comment about Disneyland boycotting all the holdings ABC ESPN, I explained I sold my stock even though it was high and growing. This old delusional thing said I didn’t work for my money. I tried to explain how American economy works. An old has been told me to practice what I preach, ha
I boycott. Another creep “braggart “. The less some of these small
Minds know the better. Think what President Trump contends with, he’s a billionaire, he works hard for free He is mocked ridiculed laughed at
attacked brutally accused he and his family of outrageous obnoxious crap. This one libertarian, I blocked her asked why someone like me is online. Why is President Trump twittering? MAGA
I will support him more diligently and passionately now more than ever. MAGA
My goodness AJ., sounds like you’ve had a rough time, and I know exactly what you’re talking about, I’ve been putting up with Kol and his gang on another place! We have to remember, everyone’s not as smart as we are brother!! 🙂 Happy 4th my friend!!!
Brietbsrt has banned me!
Too smart for them, right! Heck I’ve been banned from 2 sites myself! PC CRAP!
Try again. I’m back on .
GOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you have a clue about Beitbart? Don’t know how to contact them or what is their issue.
I know who you’re talking about, but never fooled with them!!
Back on Breitbart. Like President Trump we don’t tire of winning? Did you see the video of CNN getting clotheslined by President Trump? MAGA
YEAHHH, seen that crap!! CNN and MSNBC are some low life fools!
Their mothers should have told them to stay off drugs! But then their mothers must have given them the addiction prenatally.
I believe they were dumpster babies and had no mothers!
Nancy Pelosi Maxine Waters. Could you see them on the first day of 1940’s no child left behind? Oh these were just something we found in the dumpster. Will the villages take little mafia Nancy and Black Maxine and do something with them? “Why yes”, came the reply, ” we can make them the village idiot”.
LOLOL, and the VILLAGE IDIOTS they are!!
They sure are .
They certainly took on the persona of their surroundings.
Smell and all! 🙂
It’s the and all that’s the killer.
Exactly!!!
Nothing will happen until we get rid of this ridiculous PC;- in the eyes of the law we as a civil society condemn unacceptable behavior, criminal and bad conduct, all properly cemented on paper in the Constitution and law books.
Spot on
You’re probably right, but what part of the great divide have you enjoyed, the forming of the BLM terrorist group and burning of towns, or kids being forced to be sorry for being White, or the knock out game of blacks to Whites, the list goes on and on!!
Obama and his crooked treasonist administration have done a great deal of harm to this country in the eight years he was in office. Things are way out of hand in the U.S. and Obama is to blame for the divide. They’ve brainwashed, infiltrated our colleges, news medias and have gotten control over a lot of things – this is why this country is in the state it is now. President Trump knows this and that’s why he said “I’ve inherited a mess”. Obama is very spiteful and did many things he shouldn’t have done before leaving office such as pardoning many criminals from Gitmo and setting them free. He’s a real thug.
Yes my friend, his was to bring down America, yes cleaned out Gitmo and many thugs from prison’s, flooding our country with illegals of all kind, he wanted us like Europe and Hillary was to finish us off! Many people can say what they want, but Trump saved this country by getting the White house! But bad things are still ahead and we have to be on our toes!
Yes, we do have to be on our toes. I will say one thing – if they ever try to remove this President by impeachment or some other dirty trick they put together, there will be war on our soil because our veterans will never let that happen. There are groups of Vets that will descend on Washington on their motorcycles and those liberals just better hide. This I know for a fact. Do these stupid liberals think the American people don’t know what they’re trying to do? If they had a brain in their heads, they’d back off, but these nitwits are being paid to riot and protest. George Soros is behind all that and has been behind the Clinton campaign. They’re still scratching their heads as to how Donald Trump managed to become POTUS. They forgot that there is a God and divine intervention stepped in.
I totally agree, I don’t think these idiots really want to fill the wrath of what will happen, but it would be a bigger mess than you think, the muslims will probably jump in along with the mexicans then the American thugs! This would be the war Obama was wanting to start with and why he flooded this country with so many illegals and cleaned out the jails!! I took the Oath to defend this country and that I will do !!
Me too. This country will not go down to these thugs.
Rice and Obama always pull out the race card when things get hot. It’s crap and we should ignore it – if the documents aren’t already destroyed, get them if they can be found. Wonder what the muslim liar is going to come up with if they can’t be found? I don’t believe Obama is going to comply. They won’t be able to even get a hold of him – he’s travelling the world with his family. It’s going to be interesting to see where this goes and I’m waiting to see Susan Rice on the hot seat when she testifies.
Probably be like all the rest that have testified, plead the 5th, and they should go straight to jail!!
When you plead the 5th we automatically know you are guilty of whatever the question is you were supposed to answer but wouldn’t. Agree – plead the 5th and go to jail. It would be great if they haul the muslim liar Ovomit in to testify as to why he was listening to Trump and his team. Ovomit broke the law, big time – so why should he be above it. With the number of these lib facists who have broken the law, we’d have a whole cellblock filled with these crooked politicians.
OOOHHH Yeah, there’d be a cell block slap full of this gutter trash, but I hate it more than anything, but not one of these SOB’s will go to jail! They don’t live and have to pay for crimes like we do, they play by a different set of rules that we call double standards!!
I hope the President will enforce the “No one is above the law” rule at some point. I think that right now he’s got such a mess on his hands left by Ovomit that he can’t get to it just yet. President’s administration has got to press for Obama, Rice, Lynch, Powers, Clinton, Abedin, Weiner and the rest of those liars, testify under oath. If anything it will set their pants on fire.
It would be great, but has anything been said about No one is above the law Rule, I haven’t heard anything about this!
Sadly neither have I.
of course it is .
obstruction of justice is what this is and it is very handy how she was able to stall till they were moved ! I think that they should be able to get them just cuz these are federal laws that were broken and that Obama , rice and a few more could have been doing corrupt things ! I cant be leave that trump and team do not have the power to get these papers get to the bottom of this and put the traders in jail if they did brake the laws !
I like the word traders lol kind of on the mark but, think legally it is traitors lol
P E R F I D I T Y stands for treachery, treason, deception and a shadow government > wouldn’t you thing that the DOJ under the great AG J.Session has an answer to this ??
You would think so, however I don’t think Sessions has any balls.
Funny how that term is never used by MSM vs Ds.
I believe the Attorney would have to order it, then the Democrats would find a Judge to oppose it, then they could appeal, & it would be turned down again, then it could be taken to the Supreme Court, & by then the records would disappear. Some System we have !
If the records disappear, simply put whoever was responsible for them in prison.!!!
Can’t the President himself get them from the Obama Library?
Roflmdao you make a joke!!!!!
Why is Obama allowed to get away with criminal activity WHY????????????????
RACE CARD!
Hiding evidence of crime (in his library) is criminal BECAUSE the act of hiding in itself is a confession as to the weight of the evidence being put behind an inviolate (imaginary ex-presidential) burka (five years? Why?)
I wonder. Will there be a fortuitous fire that destroys part of the Obama library any time before the five years elapse?
Y E S, THERE WILL BE FIRE, THEFT, FLOOD… THE PIGS ARE ON THE RUN!!!
How do we know they already haven’t been destroyed? Sneaky Obama and his band of collusionists have already destroyed these documents or they’re hidden somewhere where only he knows where they are. This will all point to Rice and Obama being guilty. If you don’t have anything to hide, then why not comply and produce them? Obama was so fast to move his entire documents to his “library”. Where the hell is this library?
I don’t even think the library is built yet.
Exactly what I thought!
Obama was the worse President we have ever had & crooked as they come, so I think
He certainly does not deserve a Library or anything else except being found guilty & put in Gitmo.
YES, OF COURSE YOU ARE CORRECT…
It’s like this folks! WITHOUT THOSE FILES OBAMA KNOWS THEY HAVE BASICALLY NOTHING ON HIM AND RICE AND THERE’S THE “FIVE YEARS” CONDITION THAT AFTER HE LEFT OFFICE, HE HIDES ALL EVIDENCE AND HE CAN’T BE PROSECUTED ERGO: HE CAN CONTINUE TO OPERATE HIS SHADOW GOVT. ONLY 2 MILES AWAY FROM THE WH AND KEEP HIS MINIONS IN PLACE DOING HIS DIRTY WORK TRYING TO BRING PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS ADMIN. DOWN.
because no one wants to be called RACIST….
Can President Trump order those opened because of national security? And while he’s at it open (and publish in ALL NEWSPAPERS) Obama’s sealed records?
Yes,the President can get them , Congress can get them and a formal investigation can get them via subpoena…..
Yes,the President can get them , Congress can get them and a formal investigation can get them via subpoena…..
… that is, if they’re not mysteriously gone “missing” or “accidentally” destroyed in a small fire.
They will turn up missing and never to be found! How many fireplaces does the new home have…many!!!
The article states that the records are unavailable to the public for 5 years, it says nothing about them being or not being available to a congressional investigation or them being made available by executive order. These lawbreakers need to be punished, regardless of who it might be!!
right !
I have read in another article that Congress can ask for those documents. The question is, are they?
My thoughts too. They should be produced in response to a subpoena as part of a wide ranging criminal investigation into the activities of the Obama – Clinton cabal. If we do not root out the corruption in our government our government will collapse and we will deserve it.
Anybody that doesn’t believe obama’s tenure in office wasn’t the most corrupt in our history raise your hand. And most people think that Grant’s administration was the most corrupt, his is in a distant second place to the goat humping liberal muslin mulatto.
You folks need to move past Obama. “Obama was a phenomenon. He was elegant and cerebral. He was devoid of personal scandal and drenched in personal erudition. He was a walking, talking rebuttal to white supremacy and the myths of black pathology and inferiority. He was the personification of the possible — a possible future in which legacy power and advantages are redistributed more broadly to all with the gift of talent and the discipline to excel.” [Blow, NYT, 6.29.17]
In other words, the longer you fixate on Obama, the longer it will be apparent and obvious that Trump is a joke, a chump, and a loser.
LOL Philip the NYTs? The longer you gullible, liberal Demwits fixate on Trump the more obvious it becomes that you are all chumps and losers.
By attacking the source, rather than the content, I think you’ve just accidentally agreed with my point.
[I love posting on these discussions… it’s like shooting fish in a barrel!]
I agreed that you are a liberal Demwit by believing the NYTs. You just shot yourself in the foot.
Another swing and a miss! 😀
Wow Philips are you so lonely that you need to troll this site for any companionship?
Nah, it’s just fun to watch you folks fall all over yourselves trying to justify the unjustifiable, defend the indefensible, and explain the explainable.
The hook is in your jaw Buddy!
Elegant and cerebral? The idiot could not complete a coherent sentence with out a teleprompter. The man was a national embarrassment, a disgrace and offended every American tradition. The sheep never vetted him, they never pressed him to explain what he meant with his plan to fundamentally change America. He was given a pass because he was Black. As time passes and the truth is eked out he will be exposed for what he was doing and for what he truly is.
How can you write this baseless venom without recognizing that your guy (who can’t compose a 140 character Tweet without embarrassing himself) is a national disgrace?
Idiot! Obama lied about The Affordable Care Act it is crumbling all over the U.S. So where is it written that he was honest! I am anti-discrimination. I have had many friend and associates who were black and mixed. That is not what was wrong with him he took us down the road to Shariah Law and Muslim overthrow of America! He padded his pockets while doing so!
As significant as Ms. Rice’s crimes might be; nevertheless, the Pedogate criminal enterprise continues to occupy the top tier of today’s ongoing criminal cases. So sorry, all you media types – both MSM and Independent Media – but this is the ONE BIG CASE which will NOT be conveniently swept under the rug. All of Washington, D.C. is scared to death of the ongoing Pedogate exposure. Isn’t that just too bad!
Hang those 2 NIGGERS!!!
President Trump should order the documents be returned to the National Security Advisor’s Office, and then turned over the FBI as part of a criminal investigation into the Obama regime and their policies of unmasking members of the Trump campaign and staff.
Fair to say that the office of the AG has a good workable answer/solution for this one.
I sure hope so.
And now you know why Obama was so all fired in a hurry to get HIS PRIVATE PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY built ‘before’ he left office. Hide the proof. Bury it deep. Destroy it sometime within the next five to 12 years. Leave no tracks or records. Somehow I think some of those file will get “leaked” to the congress and the public. Piece by piece. Someone is sitting on a gold mine. If he or she lives long enough to collect. In the meantime let the lawyers make their GOLD with our money.
Fire Susan Rice and never give her another Job ever!!!!!!
Considering Susan Rice’s flagrant and deliberate violation of Federal Law, I believe, in the “Interest of National Security”, ALL those Records CAN & SHOULD be Immediately Recovered from Obummer’s phony Library, to ascertain how many more (if any) people she has exposed, thereby putting their lives in jeopardy as well as that of he future of our Intelligence Operatives, and Country. These Liberal, Progressive, Communists MUST BE STOPPED, AND NOW!
Amen to that .
As has been stated in the past, “It’s time for all good men to come to the aid of our country,” and our President! Let him lead, MAGA and issue federal arrest warrants for traitors from the last illegal administration! Nobody is above the law and eight years of a completely fraudulent administration is totally unacceptable! The levels of treason committed under the Muslim in chief’s administration are like nothing witnessed in our nation’s history! Now they want to hide evidence of criminal and treasonous behavior in a non-existent library………WHAT! Guilty on all counts!
AND NOW, AFTER ALL THIS EXPOSURE, WE ARE GOING TO LET THESE DIM-WITS INVESTIGATE TRUMP!!!
If it is a matter of national security they’d better be able to get those records. It is incalculable to think they can’t get it if it is suspected of relating to a conspiracy to subvert the Constitution of the United States! The actual security of U.S. citizens is at stake here!
They moved the records to his Library, where might that be? To his 8 Bedroom Home with 12 car parking lot in DC?
Slime … utter, predictable slime. “Let them eat cake” were their infamous last words before the “National Razor” fell.
According to the law it now takes a presidential executive order for congress to get those documents now as far as I know it will, unless the Congress can come up with something else
Congress President Trump please get these records and make them available to the public and for prosecution!!!
This is amazing. Just about anything one can imagine about secrecy or illegal political acts including selling the office of the Sec. of State to whoever wants to pay is becoming obvious regarding the Obama administration. This whole media bias and attempt to discredit the President at every turn in addition to these ridiculous accusations about some sort of Russian influence is truly troubling. President Trump has some very smart lawyers and I would sic them on anyone who appears to be working against him in the White House as well as any bureaucrats with similar intent. These are seditious acts and they can’t hide forever. I’m talking losing jobs, pensions and if found to be criminal jail time.
One more thing. It’s difficult to imagine a stronger leader with more perseverance to drain this messy swamp than President Trump.
EVERYBODY involved in the Obama Administration is in some way dirty. Some like Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, Valerie Jarrett, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Lois Lerner, John Koskinen, Lisa Jackson, Gina McCarthy and a few others are dirtier than most.
The Democrats get away with these actions because the DISHONEST media is controlled by liberal Jewish Democrats who decide what to report and what not to report…..It’s been going on for years and the FECKLESS Republicans are too cowardly to stand up to it..
Congress can subpoena the records and the Presidential Records Act can’t stop them from getting them.
Not benign, this was done with intent to hide and destroy the evidence. But as the criminal administration of BO will learn, you can NOT hide everything. Sooner or later it will all come into the light. BO and his minions though smart are not smarter than everyone else. I have known many brilliant people but none of them can think of everything and knows everything. Good hunting Judicial Watch and Breitbart! And the one thing I have learned about brilliant is they do under estimate the others to their detriment!
I don’t understand why none of these criminals are ever prosecuted. If I get a speeding fine and don’t pay it they issue an arrest warrant. This kind of stuff really upsets me.
How about accessory after the fact for Ogayarab
Rice was always sketchy.
Rice has always been a liar, too.
Why did McMasters just renew Rice’s clearance?
Much like many staffers leaking the shoes of Barack Obama in the WH, Susan Rice belongs in Jail for breaking the law, and lying about it, time and again! The DOJ must send a loud and clear message to all of Obama liberal thugs, and renegades, regarding the National Security of our Country.
Criminal Hillary and James Comey must follow Rice, into the BIG HOUSE!
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Well ain’t this some schit. Can’t Trump order them to be unsealed because of national security??
These damn obamaite’s are a demonic bunch just like their muslim buddies.
These need to be sent to the president so she and obama can be arrested for treason.
Obama hiding his records and now this! WTF
these actions just prove , that they are GUILTY as SIN, an that excuse of using , NATIONAL SECURITY to hide is HOG WASH BULL SCHIET , they are hiding evidence that they know an did WRONG. Now hiding these papers, is OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE.
