Susan Rice’s email: obama thought Trump was a Russian spy and Comey lied

 

Susan Rice wrote an email and sent it to herself in the minutes during which Donald Trump was inaugurated.



The Senate Judiciary Committee is giving former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice until February 22 to answer questions relating to an email she sent to herself prior to exiting from the Obama administration. It occurred during President Trump’s inauguration. The email contains classified information, so it’s a partial disclosure from the Judiciary Committee, but it seems to show that on January 5, 2017, then-President Obama, Vice President Biden, then-FBI Director James Comey, and then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates had a meeting in the Oval Office about the fallout from the Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Here’s that letter. It concerned a meeting in which she participated on January 5, 2017. It’s very odd.

 

That Rice would write and send herself a letter at the exact time Trump was being inaugurated is strange by itself. But there are a couple of things that really jump out. One, obama was concerned that the incoming duly elected President was a Russian spy from whom intelligence should be kept:

Former President Barack Obama suggested in January 2017 that information related to a federal probe of Russian election interference might have to be withheld from aides to then-President-elect Donald Trump, according to an internal White House email released Monday by two senior GOP senators.

The warning Obama delivered on Jan. 5, 2017, came during an Oval Office conversation shortly after senior intelligence officials briefed him on Russian cyber-meddling in the 2016 election. It was documented in an email then-national security adviser Susan Rice sent to herself on Jan. 20, the day of Trump’s inauguration.

The meeting occurred on January 5 was heretofore was not known to the public. The attendees included “Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Rice deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and (James) Comey.”

The very next day Comey met with Trump allegedly to give him a “heads-up” on the dossier which was going to be published in the near future.

Comey being at the meeting is a new revelation. His testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee never mentioned it:

Previously, Comey contended he only met with the Obama twice, once in 2015 and another “to say goodbye in late 2016,” according the former FBI director’s June 8, 2017, testimony before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

“I spoke alone with President Obama twice in person (and never on the phone) – once in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second time, briefly, for him to say goodbye in late 2016,” Comey’s opening statement read.

James Comey has some explaining to do. In truth, so does obama.

As for Susan Rice, she is a liar. She lied about her role in unmasking Americans. She lied about Bowe Bergdahl. She lied about Benghazi. So when she says she was just memorializing the meeting, you can bet your life that that’s a lie too.
