Susan Rice ’email to self’ Reveals Extent Of Obama’s Role In FBI Russia Probe

Former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice had said in recent interviews that she welcomed the declassification of her January, 2017 ’email to self’ regarding the Oval Office meeting she, along with top Obama Administration officials, attended with President Obama, during the last days of his presidency.

She, however, should be concerned about the email. Numerous Republican congressional officials contend that the email she sent to herself on Jan. 20, 2017 on the last day of the Obama Administration reveals the extent of Obama’s involvement in the FBI’s unscrupulous Russia investigation into President Trump’s campaign and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

Since 2018, GOP Senators have been waiting for the DNI or DOJ declassify and release Rice’s ’email to self.” On Tuesday, acting Director of National Intelligence Rick Grenell declassified the the email and turned it over to the Department of Justice for a full review before it could be released to the public.

Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who originally discovered the email and Ron Johnson, R-Wisconson, and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., fought for the declassification of the email since 2018. Grassley and Graham had sent a joint letter to Rice in February, 2018 after discovering the email, and the response from her lawyer alluded to national security concerns among senior Obama officials who attended the meeting at the Oval Office. Those who attended the classified meeting were Rice, President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, then CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Rice’s lawyer specifically noted that there was no discussion of former British Spy Christopher Steele, whose debunked dossier was also used by the FBI in its shoddy investigation of the Trump campaign.

Johnson said the decision to renew the call for the release of the mail several years after the original request was based in part on the Justice Department’s decision to issue a motion to...

Obama’s petty refusal to host traditional unveiling of Trump’s official White House portrait cheered by left

Michelle Obama Commissioned The "Artist" Who Created This Racist Monstrosity To Paint Her Portrait

An age-old White House custom has come to a premature end reportedly thanks to the tension between current President Donald Trump and former President Barack Hussein Obama.

For decades, succeeding presidents would host a ceremony for the unveiling of their predecessors’ official White House portrait.

Obama hosted a ceremony for former President George W. Bush:

Bush once held a ceremony for former President Bill Clinton:

And Clinton once held a ceremony for former President George H.W. Bush:

The tradition reportedly dates back to 1978, when then-President Jimmy Carter unveiled former President Gerald Ford’s portrait. Yet as of 2020, this tradition is now reportedly dead.

“Obama will forgo the unveiling of his presidential portrait in the White House as President Donald Trump ramps up attacks on his record,” U.S. News & World Report reported Tuesday.

“It is a long-held White House tradition that a first-term president hosts a ceremony to unveil the official portrait of his immediate predecessor that will hang in the building. However, people familiar with the matter [said] that Obama will skip the unveiling of his portrait.”

The evidence suggests the Trump administration has for its part at least tried to be congenial with Obama about the matter.

“An administration official said there have been some discussions between the White House and Obama’s team to hang the portrait but no date was ever officially scheduled,” CNN confirmed.

Yet as noted by NBC News, which broke the original story, Obama “has no interest” in playing nice and would rather wait until Trump is out of office to have his portrait unveiled.

But while the media have tried to justify his lack of interest by pointing to Trump’s “attacks on his record,” they’ve neglected to mention HIS administration’s unprecedented, potentially illegal attack on the current U.S. president.

Mounds of evidence prove that the Obama administration not only spied on Trump’s campaign prior to him taking office in 2017, but also used...

Former Congressman Trey Gowdy just dropped a bombshell about Obama administration unmasking requests during an interview on the Fox News channel.

Gowdy claimed that the Obama administration also unmasked President Trump’s family during and after the 2016 campaign.

Host Sandra Smith asked Gowdy what reforms were needed after the recent disclosures in the Michael Flynn case.

“That we need some serious reforms to our surveillance programs. If you can have this number of people request that an American citizen’s name be unmasked, I mean that’s a really big deal,” Gowdy said.

“We have surveillance programs that allow collection on American citizens, you are supposed to safeguard their identity.”

Gowdy then dropped his bombshell, “But Sandra, it’s not just Michael Flynn. Those in unmasking request made the morning of the inauguration. The morning of the inauguration. President Trump’s family members’ names were unmasked.”

“So that needs to be reformed, but you also have a really nice witness list to start investigating the leak of classified information. And I would be curious how many people on this unmasking list have been interviewed by the FBI over the...
