An Email was sent just after
the Trump inauguration
by former National Security
Advisor Susan Rice,
to only herself ?
She describes a January 5, 2017
meeting of Deputy Attorney General
Sally Yates, FBI Director
James Comey, VP Joe Biden,
Susan Rice and President Obama.
We now know Lisa Page
wrote to Peter Strzok
on September 2, 2016,
about prepping James Comey
because “potus wants to know
everything we’re doing.”
("potus" is president of the United States)
Rice notes that President Obama:
"stressed his continued commitment
to ensuring that every aspect
of this issue is handled by
the Intelligence and law enforcement
communities by the book", and
Obama "stressed that he is not
asking about, initiating or instructing
anything from a law enforcement perspective."
The Trump-Russia investigation
was not "by the book".
We now know James Comey
mislead Congress about his contact
with President Obama.
Comey said he met with the Obama twice,
once in 2015 and another
“to say goodbye in late 2016,”
according to his 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.
Comey's prepared statement
to congress deliberately omits
the January 5, 2017 meeting,
and qualifies his meetings with Obama
as "alone."
Since the January 5, 2017 meeting
wasn't "alone", Comey didn't include it
-- deliberately misleading Congress
about his communications with President Obama.
The former FBI Director also claimed
minimal communication
between the FBI, DOJ,
and the Obama Administration,
in his briefing to Congress.
That was a lie.
We now know
government efforts
to surveil Donald Trump
as a candidate,
an incoming President,
and a sitting President,
were a group effort,
at the least followed
by President Obama,
and possibly led by President Obama ...
who was not likely to "follow" something
without giving at least some directions
-- after all, the man always thought that
he was the smartest man in any room !
