© 2016 Jim Spence - It would seem that Susan Rice’s penchant for telling
bald-faced lies may not have any limitations. However, it is her good fortune that her
name may come off the front pages of the newspapers for a few days thanks to Donald Trump enforcing the red line Mr. Obama actually drew in Syria.
Incredibly, Susan Rice has changed her story 180 degrees as the investigation into criminal behavior at the Obama White House continues.
Susan Rice at first pretended she had no idea what anyone was
talking about when asked about Democrats using the eavesdropping capability of the intelligence community on their political opponents. However, as the truth trickles out, the facts are forcing Rice to concede she actually signed the documents that sought to unmask the identities of Trump team members, that had in fact been eavesdropped on.
Yes, Rice has already backtracked
on her ignorance claims. Now she is defending the actions she previously claimed she was
ignorant of.......by citing her national security duties.
Susan Rice's lies are in black and white. She got them printed in a newspaper. Rice wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post last month
blasting Donald Trump when he charged the Obama administration with
eavesdropping during the presidential campaign.
Consider Rice’s own evolving version of the events. Here is the direct quote from her op-ed piece:
“The foundation of the United States’ unrivaled global
leadership rests only in part on our military might, the strength of our
economy and the power of our ideals, it is also grounded in the perception that
the United States is steady, rational and fact-based. To lead effectively, the
United States must maintain respect and trust. So, when a White House
deliberately dissembles and serially contorts the facts, its actions pose a
serious risk to America’s global leadership, among friends and adversaries alike.”
Serially contorts facts? Check out the trail of lies and fact contorting by
Rice since that piece ran.
When it became clear that the communications of Donald Trump
and his associates were captured in what the White House insisted was innocent foreign
surveillance, just one day after her op-ed piece Rice went on Democrat-friendly PBS to deny that she did what she would later admit that she did do. Rice said this of the stunning revelations, “I know nothing about this……no White House can order
the surveillance of another American citizen. That can only come from the Justice
Department with the approval of a FISA court.”
Of course, the investigative digging continued through the end of March and into
April. On Tuesday this week it became clear Rice was the official at the White House who had requested the “unmasking.” This means not only had Rice read the transcripts of the eavesdropping on the Trump team, she actually demanded that the identities of the participants be revealed to her by signing a document.
Are you kidding me?
Suddenly what Rice said she knew nothing of on March 22nd
became something she was intimately familiar with on Tuesday April 4th.
Without flinching, earlier this week Rice poured more lies on the situation when she insisted that what she did was, “not politically motivated.” Naturally, Democratic
Party propaganda minister Andrea Mitchell at MSNBC, had no inclination to force
Rice to reconcile how she went from "knowing nothing about this," to knowing all about it.
This investigation has evolved to the point where Susan Rice is admitting she requested the transcripts
and requested the identities of the participants be revealed to her. However, Rice now insists she didn’t leak this information to her Democratic Party operatives in the media.
With a straight face Rice said, “I leaked nothing to nobody, and never have and never would.”
Sure you didn’t Susie. Sure you didn’t.
