Congressional Investigators Notice Timing of Susan Rice Unmasking Request and Leak of Trump Associate Name to Media Weeks Later

The story is headlined, "No Trump 'victory lap' as Congress probes Obama-era unmasking." The beginning notes that Trump has maintained an untrumpian silence throughout most of the revelations that he was basically right in saying he'd been "tapped" (his quotes, which seem to indicate he was speaking colloquially), and the media basically liars to claim otherwise.

I came away with the sense that Sarah Westwood's source really pushed that angle to her, to suggest to Trump that silence is a good strategy here and he should continue on with it.

Then the story gets to a new revelation, or at least it's new to me.

Congressional investigators have noticed a potential link between an April story in the Washington Post -- in which the identity of a Trump associate was revealed in the context of information that could have been collected through surveillance activities - -and an unmasking request made by former national security adviser Susan Rice weeks before the publication of that story, a source familiar with the investigation told the Washington Examiner.
The report described a meeting between Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater and brother of Education Secretary Molly DeVos, and an unidentified Russian individual on the island of Seychelles in January. Prince had represented himself during the meeting, which was set up by United Arab Emirates officials, as a conduit for the Trump campaign who was interested in setting up a "back-channel line of communication between Moscow and President-elect Donald Trump," according to the report. Congressional investigators are eyeing a potential connection between the leak of Prince's identity to the media and an unmasking request from Rice that took place in the final days of the Obama administration.

Rice infamously claimed "I know nothing about any of this" when asked about the unmaskings. But then, she lies a lot.

And in fairness, Rice may not have leaked this herself. But then, the Obama Administration loosened the rules in the final hours of its reign, permitting unmasked names to be shared throughout government, thus vastly increasing the number of people who could leak confidential information, thus making it safer to leak confidential information, thus -- seemingly deliberately -- changing the rules precisely so that confidential information would be leaked.

Susan Rice may be telling the truth (as improbable as that seems, and as unevidenced by her previous record) as far as leaking.

But the new Obama rules -- from an administration that bugged reporters to stop leaking against itself -- made it the case that Susan Rice didn't have to leak it. She could just do her unmasking thing and let that information flow to almost everyone in the government and count on someone somewhere leaking to the press.

Maybe she didn't pull the trigger -- but she seems to have bought the bullets for this particular shot.

And that's the way Obama wanted it.

43 A. Intelligence is collected which contained names of Americans.
B. The names are blacked out so no one can see them anywhere in the intelligence apparatus.
C. Someone with the appropriate power requests the names to be unmasked.
D. That person can now see the names.

That all made sense (as much as it can), but this dawned on me after reading this post:

E. Every other person in the intelligence apparatus with the proper clearance can now see the names too?

That blows me away. If that's true, then that's absolutely ridiculous. It was bad enough to me that Susan Rice could request the names to be unmasked for her own enjoyment, but for those names to then be seen by anyone is mind-blowing.

56 I think was Legal Insurrection that argued that even though a series of actions, taken individually, are legal, the sum of those actions can be taken as a conspiracy to violate the law.

Susan Rice is dirtbag and known liar, but at least her unmaskings can be justified by the position she held. Samantha Power is the key unmasker imho, as her job as UN ambassador doesn't call for intelligence evaluations. She's just a mouth for the preezy.

"Prosecutors say Menendez then pushed high-level federal officials, including Sebelius and then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, to help Melgen favorably resolve the dispute in exchange for free rides on Melgen's private jets, political donations and other perks.

The men maintain they broke no laws."

I think the whole Russia Hoax is the brainchild of Rhodes. All of it. He crafted it. He told the "characters" what to do and what to say. He even knew that the mere mention of "Russia" would get many Republicans --and certainly all neo-cons--on board with Trump Impeachment. He's a "novelist", after all. We call him failed but look at the impact his "fiction" has had.
Novelists with novels in the remainder bins--or being pulped--would kill for the kind of impact Rhodes has had.

88 Rice infamously claimed "I know nothing about any of this"
=========
IIRC, the context of this statement was specifically in response to Trump's claim of being "tapped" in Trump Tower.

It wasn't about the unmasking.

About a very limited event--where the "what does he even mean by 'tapped'" dodge is silently deployed--she is likely truthful.

She specifically and deliberately did not say, "I know nothing about any surveillance of any one in the Trump campaign."

And she sure as fuck specifically DID NOT deny surveillance or unmasking of people in the Trump campaign.

131 The beginning notes that Trump has maintained an untrumpian silence throughout most of the revelations that he was basically right in saying he'd been "tapped" (his quotes, which seem to indicate he was speaking colloquially), and the media basically liars to claim otherwise.

What I'd like to know, can this be used as a stick? As in "Dogeater, don't go there, or we'll beat you with this stick".

Hillary has been getting rabid and feral recently. I'd like to think the same would be done to her, but Chaffetz said that Sessions wasn't willing to do anything.

Someone said the other day that it's a "tradition" that you don't go after the previous administration. But it's also a tradition that you don't go after the succeeding one, and the left has broken that tradition. Scorched earth. End them.

Never ever forget that ValJar and Mooch are besties. VJ wanted Mooch for POTUS rather than Bobo, but, she was just too unlikable while he had charm to burn. She is still unlikable and she is not doing herself any favors by attacking women who voted for Trump. As for Oprah, I hope she runs and the stress makes her gain 400 pounds and then nature takes its course. Obama will probably be the last Black POTUS in my lifetime--he did too much damage and he kicked off this White Privilege mess--all while neatly forgetting that his upbringing by White folks gave him the ability to sound White while being Beige.

He even knew that the mere mention of "Russia" would get many Republicans --and certainly all neo-cons--on board with Trump Impeachment. He's a "novelist", after all. We call him failed but look at the impact his "fiction" has had.
Novelists with novels in the remainder bins--or being pulped--would kill for the kind of impact Rhodes has had.

There are a lot of ways to attack this thing...collect a few scalps and all this shit will dry up overnight.

Police radio audio revealed that officers had located the location of the shooter, in room 135 on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay, as early as 10.24pm.
Minutes later, cops found a security guard in the hallway outside Paddock's room who had been shot by the suspect, and asked for back up.
Paddock had shot through the door, hitting the guard in the leg. He is expected to survive.

300 More Daily Mail - from the timeline:

11.21pm: SWAT teams storm the 32nd floor room that Stephen Paddock was firing from. They gained entry using flashbangs designed to stun the shooter. Paddock fired through the door as SWAT teams were trying to breach the room. By the time they entered the room, he had shot himself dead. Seventy-two minutes elapsed from the first 911 call to Paddock being found dead.

I have some question about this part:

They gained entry using flashbangs designed to stun the shooter.

I have heard it said they used a breaching charge, and this went out over the radio. Flashbangs are not a breaching charge. Could be that they used both, or they breached by some other method - smashing it down or a shotgun breaching - and then used flashbangs.

They were apparently trying to capture not kill.
