This is the declassified Rice “Top Secret” email from her official email to presumably her personal email. This is not just a CYA but a CEA “cover everyone’s a**” attempt. This shows Obama and Biden were calling shots against Flynn and Comey was providing the ammunition.
Comey states they have no indication that Flynn has passed classified docs to Kislyak. So no basis to even go after him. He reveals that the only thing unusual is the number of times Flynn and Kislyak spoke. This is DAYS before Trump is in WH and Flynn is acting NSA.
This whole Flynn effort is not just hollow. Pretend. But fabricated out of literally nothing and this bizarre email by Rice, given what we now know, is actually more damning than exonerating of Obama, Biden and Comey. This is probably why Sally Yates was so shell shocked
and could not think or listen to anything else during the meeting. From this group, most likely from Comey or his cadre of @realDonaldTrump haters and abusers in the FBI, the contents of the unmasking is leaked to the press (which is a 10 year felony.)
Further, it is in this meeting that it is decided that the Obama Admin is not going to fully brief Flynn and hence the Trump administration on the status or progress of the Russia investigation. But what screams out is why they didn’t want to brief them—not because they were
aware of any wrongdoing by @realDonaldTrump or @GenFlynn or anyone else. The real reason is because they did not want to reveal the merit less spying, unmasking and leaking against the incoming administration. Let that soak in ...
they didn’t want to get caught. The ones trying to catch someone in the Trump administration didn’t want to get caught illegally spying and investigating. This is why Rice’s “Top Secret” email is so important.
