Source In White House Counsel's Office Says Susan Rice Requested Dozens of "Unmaskings" of Trump Officials Caught Up In Alleged "Incidental" Surveillance, Starting As Soon as He Became the Nominee
An extra bit from
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...
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."
Hot Air:
According to Lake, it was NSC deputy Ezra Cohen-Watnick who first uncovered Rice's role in "unmasking" the Trump transition officials. Meanwhile, reports emerged a few weeks ago that the CIA wanted Cohen-Watnick removed from the NSC. Is that a coincidence or not?

The bill will declare that it is the opinion of the House that spying on domestic political opposition is the death of representative government and the greatest scandal of American political history - and the funding of a new FBI dept/prosecutor to get to the bottom of Obamagate with the full power to fire/prosecute anyone in the bureaucracy that does not cooperate.
He should then note that if the Congress disagrees, he understands, and has an executive order to have the NSA/CIA/etc immediately begin monitoring every congressional office holder and to send him, personally, the results.

There's all sorts of statues that national security agencies aren't allowed to spy on Americans.
Also whether she got proper warrants if other agencies were used.
And then releasing information that was classified.
But good luck convicting a black woman in DC that worked for Obama and has plenty of money and connection to lawyer up.
But I still think they need to go after her and make her talk.

She's the one who "unmasked" the Trump people incidentally caught up in surveillance of other target. She was able to access this intel thanks to Obama's very recent rule change about making it more widely available.
The intel reports say "Person 1" in the transcripts, and she's the one who found out and revealed that "Person 1" = Flynn or whoever. So it stands to reason that she is the one who told the MSM directly, or shared this info with others (likely WH people) who then shared/leaked it.

It's both. For one thing, it weaponized the FISA court against a candidate, and probably violated several dozen campaign laws both state and federal.
It was particularly egregious because Trump has been a public figure his whole damn life so there was nothing to find and they knew that.

Had he immediately ordered the SS to arrest her the instant he took his hands off the Bible, he would have put the fear of God into the Deep State.
But, as I predicted, he let her walk, whatever the reason - "optics" or "bad precedent" or whatever - and now he pays the price.

Considering the MSM have been happy recipients of Rice's information - whether directly or indirectly - he may have known she was the source for a while.
To me, that he's reporting it only means that he knew the info was about to come out, either by another reporter or by Nunes or Trump team, so he opted for the "scoop.".

I would think that
identifying people incidentally caught in surveillance is illegal
because they are not the suspected criminal/target; it's a way to
protect people who are not part of the suspected crime who happened to
come in contact with the criminals. The leaks specifically referenced
conversations with the implication that these incidental people were in
on the crime.
Maybe a lawyer Moron can clarify?

That's my point - unmasking implicates them more than the unmaskee; it's admitting to conducting surveillance without a warrant on American citizens. It's like telling the police "See that guy over there who I don't like? I sold him drugs, go arrest him".
There's obviously something about this I'm not getting.

I know a gal who is "married" to a female partner.
She was noting the wedding of a friend, who was marrying a man, and was lamenting the fact that this other woman had more female partners than she had.
Here's the truth: It's probably not accurate to talk in terms of "gay" and "not gay" for lot of these folks. Sexual liberation has created this weird soup that everyone continues to try to sort out with all their various alphabet and rainbow designations.
I will say it this way: If you are of the ilk to be in a relationship with ONE partner, I don't really care which combo we're talking about. You are of one tribe. If you are the sort who is bedding whoever you may, and follow whatever whim you have, male/female or whatever other options you can think of, you're in the other tribe.
I'm kinda done with the gay/not gay thing. It serves to divide in ways that are not all that helpful.

They have to have a warrant to spy on Americans. They have to prove to a judge or a court that they ALREADY HAVE enough evidence on you that a warrant to search your communications is warranted (see "warrant"). It is ABSOLUTELY illegal to search you with no evidence. We still have a constitution. If there was a legal search, ie they got a warrant from the FISA courts to unmask you because you'd been caught in "incidental" gathering of info then it's still ILLEGAL AS HELL to leak that information to the f-ing press.
In this situation, you'd have to argue that private citizen trump was a national security threat. How can that possibly be so? There is no prohibition on private citizens talking to anyone. A FISA court would never give a warrant in that situation. If it did, they'd have to have some really extreme evidence which they obviously don't have.
THEN for Rice/Clapper/Brennan to unmask private citizens it would be highly illegal. The leaking adds even more crimes to their total.

If they are "incidental" then I assume it means they were not part of the suspected crime. So, kinda like picking up a conversation between a mobster and his kid's teacher while wiretapping him for mobster-y crimes. Add to it that this was supposedly foreign target surveillance and they were capturing conversations with incidental Americas. So "unmasking" the teacher who conversed with said mobster is implying that the teacher is an associate of the mobster, that he/she is a criminal. This is what they did with Flynn and probably others. I *think* this is why it's illegal, why they keep incidentals masked.

Let's say we're monitoring Abu Abu Mohommed, out in Durkadurkastan. We get intelligence reports that he met with Joe Smith, from a construction company in NYC that does a lot of business in Durkadurkastan. Abu Abu Mohammed's family is heavily involved in construction, so it would make sense that the the two companies might have business dealings that have no ties whatsoever to Abu Abu Mohammed's side business of kidnapping and Islamic extremism.
Any reports regarding the meeting would "mask" Joe Smith's identity. He'd be referred to as "US Person 1" or some such. The goal is to prevent his reputation from being tarnished by the implication that he's plotting with terrorists, as well as to protect his constitutional rights. Any information about him is kept tightly secured and usually requires a warrant to access.
What Rice is accused of doing is taking the unredacted information and spreading it around the intel community, so that a party loyalist could leak bits and pieces to the press in hopes of smearing Mr. Smith and destroying his reputation.

If they are "incidental" then I assume it means they were not part of the suspected crime. So, kinda like picking up a conversation between a mobster and his kid's teacher while wiretapping him for mobster-y crimes. Add to it that this was supposedly foreign target surveillance and they were capturing conversations with incidental Americas. So "unmasking" the teacher who conversed with said mobster is implying that the teacher is an associate of the mobster, that he/she is a criminal. This is what they did with Flynn and probably others. I *think* this is why it's illegal, why they keep incidentals masked.
Anyone who knows better, please correct me!

It's not the implication so much as the fact that collecting information by spying on Americans is ILLEGAL.
4th amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

In this case it's like calling jaywalking a crime. You'd be technically correct, but really, everybody does it. All the time. Even now.
Every Administration, starting with Washington's, had inner folks talking about how to get away with this that and/or the other.
You want to talk about conspiracy, how about those people in the Democrat Party conspiring to prosecute a nickel and dime operation that is dwarfed by the crimes committed on behalf of LBJ, JFK, FDR, and all their lot, WITH their complicity.

Nothing in any of the coverage I've read has indicated that the "unmasking" - or even necessarily the surveillance - took place BEFORE the election. It all appears to have happened post-election, during the transition phase. I think things become infinitely more damning if Trump's team was in fact surveiled during the campaign, but I haven't seen any evidence of that. Where does that come from?

Good point.
Think the pre-election surveillance comes from reports of the Obama admin's FISA filings to do surveillance on Trump, first attempt in July (which was denied) and then again in late October (granted).
The Bloomberg article says Rice requested the unmasking of people from transition team who were incidentally caught in surveillance (*wink) during transition period.

"Marble is used to hamper[ing] forensic investigators and anti-virus companies from attributing viruses, trojans and hacking attacks to the CIA," says the whistleblowing site.

This Committee has examined a realm of governmental information collection which has not been governed by restraints comparable to those in criminal proceedings. We have examined the collection of intelligence about the political advocacy and actions and the private lives of American citizens. That information has been used covertly to discredit the ideas advocated and to "neutralize" actions of their proponents. As Attorney General Harlan Fiske Stone warned in 1924, when he sought to keep federal agencies from investigation "political or other opinions" as opposed to "conduct ... forbidden by the laws":
When a police state passes beyond these limits, it is dangerous to the proper administration of justice and to human liberty, which should be our first concern to cherish. ... There is always a possibility that a secret police may become a menace to free government and free institutions because it carries with it the possibility of abuses of power which are not always quickly apprehended or understood.
So who was Harlan F. Stone? A Republican who later became the 12th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

There's three parts to this that stink:
a) Late in Obama's administration three hardcore political flunkies - Rice, Lynch, and that CIA shit - were magically given the right to unmask 'US Persons' in interceptions.
b) At least one of those flunkies began working her way through intercepts - I'm guessing - of those GOP candidates they thought viable, and their staffs, and who knows, maybe Bernie.
c) Once Trump won the nomination the research ramped up substantially, and notably there are claims from credible outfits that there was no intelligence component, it was purely dumpster-diving.
How does this differ from Watergate?
Well, back then if you wanted to find out something about your opposition you had to go physically plant a bug, raid a psychiatrist's filing cabinet, etc.
Now you just have to have some committed apparatchik who can pluck what she wants out of what the government already collects.
So in many respects it's worse.
But here's the question: who had the authority to give these Molotovs the access, and would you let Rice or one of the others walk if they rolled over on Obama's intent and put him away?

WASHINGTON- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today
announced multiple measures to further deter and detect H-1B visa fraud
and abuse. The H-1B visa program should help U.S. companies recruit
highly-skilled foreign nationals when there is a shortage of qualified
workers in the country. Yet, too many American workers who are as
qualified, willing, and deserving to work in these fields have been
ignored or unfairly disadvantaged. Protecting American workers by
combating fraud in our employment-based immigration programs is a
priority for USCIS.
Targeted site visits will allow USCIS to focus resources where fraud and
abuse of the H-1B program may be more likely to occur, and determine
whether H-1B dependent employers are evading their obligation to make a
good faith effort to recruit U.S. workers. USCIS will continue random
and unannounced visits nationwide. These site visits are not meant to
target nonimmigrant employees for any kind of criminal or administrative
action but rather to identify employers who are abusing the system.

Rwandan genocide, Susan Rice made this important point in an
interagency teleconference: 'If we use the word 'genocide' and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November [congressional] election?'"
The horrifying thing is that Rice now has multiple genocides on her watch and decorating her C.V.
Rwanda, initially.
Then the further series of destabilizing wars in Central Africa which began in the aftermath of Rwanda, often called the Congo Wars colloquially, also genocidal in effect, which added up to the largest loss of innocent civilian life since WWII.
And now most recently, the genocide against Yazidis, Christians, and others by the Islamic State.
The woman, her criminality aside, is figuratively soaked in other people's blood from head to toe based on entirely LEGAL duties she had been MEANT to be performing, and which she carried out with lethal incompetence.

But it's interesting to see what's been documented so far re: Trump having proof available, such as the document logs with Susan Rice's name on them, the FISA warrants (no details in press, but there has to be a record somewhere).

The whole idea is to cover their OWN crimes since they already knew Trump was innocent. Reporters also knew long ago, and probably knew about the unmaskings but are only interested in the narrative.

Employers petitioning for H-1B workers who work off-site at another company or organization's location.
It's not the Valley that's gonna take the big hit, it's the Wipros and the rest of the Indian outsourcing firms.
Outfits like Oracle with H-1B-heavy consulting operations might get hit.
But the Googles and networking outfits and the biotech outfits probably won't mind, in fact barring a reduction in the number of H-1Bs they'd love to see the outsourcing outfits get hit.

Bro, a changeup needs to be at least 10-12 mph difference in speed from the fastball to be considered a changeup. It's not a changeup. It's a hard cutter or a hard sinker, both fastballs with different grips.
I caught my entire life till age 27. I used to train with pitchers in the off-season to get them prepared for spring training.
It's not a changeup. Period. It would need to be in the mid 80's to be considered a changeup.
Maybe he is working on a changeup. But a 93mph pitch is not a change up. It doesn't matter if it moves like a knuckle ball. It's not a change up. He is throwing a fastball with a different grip, also known as a cutter or a sinker.

Susan Rice is dead to rights guilty. A very long term in the hoosegow is likely in her future.
Point Number Two:
As Chief Law Enforcement Office, President Obama almost certainly was aware of Rice's crime ( he probably ordered it himself) and was almost certainly given those ill gotten reports on the Trump campaign as has been reported in the media for many months.
So in all probability Obama committed some very significant crimes. The House Intelligence Committee should subpoena him right away, put him under oath and ask him some very pointed questions on what went on.
Under Oath at least one of two things will likely happen:
A. Obama will lie; and a fairly easy case against him could be made to send him off to the slammer.
B. Obama will fess up ( highly unlikely) but then his reputation will be ruined and he probably could be made to disclose of details of who was involved in this criminal unmasking.
In any case many, many democratic operatives including some Congressman and Senators were likely involved even in a minor way. All of the leads need to be investigated to the fullest.
There is likely a huge opportunity to drive a stake through the bleeding heart of the Democratic party if the Republican Party has the will. The typical Kabuki theatre play acting that they will do something this time but somehow fumble it away - won't cut it this time.
It is also probably true that some of the RINO's were involved as well ( we're talking you John McCain). So if the RINO faction wants to drag it's feet and place nice again, it's time to take them down as well.
