  "White House lawyers last month learned that the former national
   security adviser Susan Rice requested the identities of U.S. persons in
   raw intelligence reports on dozens of occasions that connect to the
   Donald Trump transition and campaign, according to U.S. officials
   familiar with the matter.
   
   The pattern of Rice's requests was discovered in a National Security
   Council review of the government's policy on "unmasking" the identities
   of individuals in the U.S. who are not targets of electronic
   eavesdropping, but whose communications are collected incidentally.
   Normally those names are redacted from summaries of monitored
   conversations and appear in reports as something like "U.S. Person One."

   The National Security Council's senior director for intelligence, Ezra
   Cohen-Watnick, was conducting the review, according to two U.S.
   officials who spoke with Bloomberg View on the condition of anonymity
   because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly. In February
   Cohen-Watnick discovered Rice's multiple requests to unmask U.S.
   persons in intelligence reports that related to Trump transition
   activities. He brought this to the attention of the White House General
   Counsel's office, who reviewed more of Rice's requests and instructed
   him to end his own research into the unmasking policy.
   
   The intelligence reports were summaries of monitored conversations --
   primarily between foreign officials discussing the Trump transition,
   but also in some cases direct contact between members of the Trump team
   and monitored foreign officials. One U.S. official familiar with the
   reports said they contained valuable political information on the Trump
   transition such as whom the Trump team was meeting, the views of Trump
   associates on foreign policy matters and plans for the incoming
   administration.
   
   Rice did not respond to an email seeking comment on Monday morning. Her
   role in requesting the identities of Trump transition officials adds an
   important element to the dueling investigations surrounding the Trump
   White House since the president's inauguration.
   
   Both the House and Senate intelligence committees are probing any ties
   between Trump associates and a Russian influence operation against
   Hillary Clinton during the election. The chairman of the House
   intelligence committee, Representative Devin Nunes, is also
   investigating how the Obama White House kept tabs on the Trump
   transition after the election through unmasking the names of Trump
   associates incidentally collected in government eavesdropping of
   foreign officials.
   
   Rice herself has not spoken directly on the issue of unmasking. Last
   month when she was asked on the "PBS NewsHour" about reports that Trump
   transition officials, including Trump himself, were swept up in
   incidental intelligence collection, Rice said: "I know nothing about
   this," adding, "I was surprised to see reports from Chairman Nunes on
   that account today."
   
   Rice's requests to unmask the names of Trump transition officials do
   not vindicate Trump's own tweets from March 4 in which he accused Obama
   https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/837989835818287106
   of illegally tapping Trump Tower. There remains no evidence to support
   that claim.
   
   But Rice's multiple requests to learn the identities of Trump officials
   discussed in intelligence reports during the transition period does
   highlight a longstanding concern for civil liberties advocates about
   U.S. surveillance programs. 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.
   
   The news about Rice also sheds light on the strange behavior of Nunes
   in the last two weeks. It emerged last week that he traveled to the
   White House last month, the night before he made an explosive
   allegation about Trump transition officials caught up in incidental
   surveillance. At the time he said he needed to go to the White House
   because the reports were only on a database for the executive branch.
   It now appears that he needed to view computer systems within the
   National Security Council that would include the logs of Rice's
   requests to unmask U.S. persons.
   
   The ranking Democrat on the committee Nunes chairs, Representative Adam
   Schiff, viewed these reports on Friday. In comments to the press over
   the weekend he declined to discuss the contents of these reports, but
   also said it was highly unusual for the reports to be shown only to
   Nunes and not himself and other members of the committee.
   
   Indeed, much about this is highly unusual: if not how the surveillance
   was collected, then certainly how and why it was disseminated.

Susan Rice: The world wonders and worries if the White House can be trusted

  "Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice had tough words in The
   Washington Post for President Trump and his administration on
   Wednesday, warning about the "profound dangers" of making false
   statements. In her first interview since leaving the White House, Rice
   joins Judy Woodruff to discuss the importance of U.S. credibility, as
   well as the intelligence probe into Russian interference."

Multiple JewMedia reporters had this story and chose to sit on it for fear of offending the Faggot Crackhead Obama and his "Legacy."  Mike Cernovich knew they had and front ran them. 

The shit that the JewEstablishment is pulling on Trump is incredible.  Total double standard.
