the full extent of susan rice's spying on donald trump is becoming rapidly apparent, and there appears there is nothing the media can do to cover it up any longer. the cover's have been ripped off the cover up, and people who worked for rice and obama are coming forward, and they are talking.
remember, for christ's sake remember, that when she ordered the spying on trump she was president obama's national security adviser, and although not having a cabinet level position in the government, she was one of his senior most advisers. as noted in a previous post, as obama's direct agent in such matters she had actual, apparent and ostensible authority to act in his behalf. for all legal intents and purposes, and political purposes, susan rice was barak obama.
she ordered and directed the u.s. intelligence apparatus to spy on trump, to gather intelligence on him, and to listen into his private phone conversations with friends and campaign aides, right up to the point of his inauguration.
it's all here, at pamela gellers journal, "susan rice ordered [u.s.] spy agencies to produce 'detailed spreadsheets' involving trump," pamela geller, april 4, 2017, http://pamelageller.com/2017/04/rice-spy-trump.html/ . follow the link, and go and read the article in its entirety.
involved were rice aide ben rhodes, and the information gathered and/or disseminated to persons such as james clapper, director of national intelligence (who has lied about his knowledge and involvement), john brennen, cia director (who has lied about his knowledge and involvment), and other lesser lights at the national security council and the department of defense.
information regarding trump was spread around. and, as were the names and identities of persons donald trump was communicating with. and, ultimately, this information was spread by many persons to those in the national news media and the press.
http://pamelageller.com/2017/04/rice-spy-trump.html/ .
this passage from the geller article points to the atmosphere that prevailed and permeated throughout the obama administration while this was going on:
critics of the atmosphere prevailing throughout the obama administration’s last year in office point to former obama deputy defense secretary evelyn farkas who admitted in a march 2 television interview on MSNBC that she “was urging my former colleagues,” to “get as much information as you can, get as much intelligence as you can, before president obama leaves the administration.”
farkas sought to walk back her comments in the weeks following: “I didn’t give anybody anything except advice.”

was this illegal? oh, yes, quite.
did obama know about it? do the bears go poopie in the woods, is the pope catholic? now, just who in god's name do you suppose this information was being gathered for? there are only two people in the world who stand out as "candidates," and one of them is obama, and the other is hillary clinton. take your pick. but, i think you'd have to be an idiot not to understand that this was done at the behest and direction of president obama. either that, or a democrat. but, to borrow an observation from mark twain, i repeat myself.

I believe nothing will come of this. I refer you to Benghazi.
Remember there are two black individuals that are at the root of this. The Republicans for eight years proved they had no fight in them. I will also be surprised if McConnell goes Nuclear.

If Rhodes was in on what Rice got ahold of. there is a thread of conspiracy 100 miles long.
It's probably why the sonofabitches became so desperate towards the end, and continue since his election as POTUS: they couldn't find anything to leverage Trump with.
And it's probably why they jumped the shark to begin with, they were desperate to find some dirt, any dirt on Trump.
It makes sense why they have flogged the particular dead horse of Russian influence into a read smear like a runned over deer on I95 in August, they have nothing on the guy, because there is nothing on the guy to be had to begin with.
They sonofabitches really screwed up letting Trump get by them. They don't know what to do, they keep throwing things at him to see what sticks.
I always liked this quote below, it makes a lot of sense right now:
Adam Weishaupt:
MONETARY AND SEX BRIBERY WAS TO BE USED TO OBTAIN CONTROL OF MEN ALREADY IN HIGH PLACES IN VARIOUS LEVELS OF ALL GOVERNMENTS
AND OTHER FIELDS OF ENDEAVOR, ONCE INFLUENTIAL PERSONS HAD FALLEN FOR THE LIES, DECEITS, AND TEMPTATIONS OF THE ILLUMINATI,
THEY WERE TO BE HELD IN BONDAGE BY APPLICATION OF POLITICAL AND OTHER FORMS OF BLACKMAIL, THREATS OF FINANCIAL RUIN, PUBLIC
EXPOSURE, AND PHYSICAL HARM, EVEN DEATH TO THEMSELVES AND LOVED MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILIES.

paul:
mmccoonnnneell, as i like to call him, did go nuclear.
charlie schumer did something no other person has ever accomplished, and that is to give this generation of repubs some spine. good on charlie: he made the bluff, he got "called," and he taught everybody what an untenable position the dems occupy. a mitzvah for schumer.
now, the filibuster is as dead as a post for supreme court nomination procedures, as long as the repubs hold the senate.
