LAST EDITED ON Jul-23-17 AT 00:42AM (MST)[p]RELH gets easily confused he sees Susan Rice and thinks she was a maid at the White House. As a National Security Advisor it was completely within the duties of her job to request unmasking.
Lake further reports that Rice?s pattern of requesting unmasking was discovered by Trump National Security Council staffer Ezra Cohen-Watnick, whom The New York Times reported last week was one of Nunes?s sources. Cohen-Watnick informed the White House Counsel?s office, Lake reports.
Rice has not commented on the report. It would likely be legal for Rice to request the unmasking??The standard for senior officials to learn the names of U.S. persons incidentally collected is that it must have some foreign intelligence value, a standard that can apply to almost anything,? Lake notes.
As Lake notes, nothing he?or anyone else?has uncovered lends credence to President Trump?s outlandish and unsupported claim that Obama ordered surveillance of him at Trump Tower prior to the election. Nor does the new story suggest any illegal behavior on Rice?s part. As with each step in the story, this one offers only a small sliver of information. Many experts seem to think the Bloomberg View story does not imply anything improper or unusual. Others withheld judgment, saying there's simply not enough information to judge.
?In a situation where there's incidental collection and it appears that they're discussing U.S. incoming or current officials, it would not be unusual for a national security adviser to try to understand what it is this foreign government is trying to do to manipulate their position against the U.S."

RELH Nunes is so desperate for deflection, so ingrained with Whataboutism his very political existence is now tethered to serving as a minion focused on shifting attention away from Trump the lying Treason Weasel.
It was part of her job RELH, Burr knows and so does the rest of the rationally thinking world, accept it, Burr did and so have the rest of the heads of our 3 IC agencies.
This is what it really looks like when there is no there..there.
If Trump and his minions were not deep throating Putin's stolichnaya in an attempt to steal the election there would have been no intelligence to unmask.
Do you think this same thing would have occurred if Kasich or any other GOP contender was the Candidate? Were you really a cop? Seriously? You constantly call into question the integrity of the heads of our IC community, thus crapping on the good men and women who serve to protect our nation, even given the latest reveals?.
To add even further insult to injury you then question others integrity, really? Take your partisan blinders off RELH, it's all gonna come crashing down in the next few months. Looks like you'll be the last rat off the ship.. again, no different than mid 2008 while you were still defending Bush.
Say what you want about Hillsy, she did not avoid Public hearings like the 3 ball-less guilty wonders Fredo, Kushner, and Manafort.
Starting to look like Dear Leader was apart of that meeting via conference call.
