Feb 2018: Susan Rice personal legal counsel and ex-Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler responds to Chuck Grassley on Susan Rice's Jan 20, 2017 email to herself
" Ambassador Rice memorialized the discussion on Jan 20, because that was the first opportunity she had to do so"
"Ambassador Rice memorialized the discussion in an email sent to herself during the morning of January 20, 2017. The time stamp reflected on the email is not accurate, as Ambassador Rice departed the White House shortly before noon on January 20"
"While serving as National Security Advisor, Ambassador Rice was not briefed on the existence of any FBI investigation into allegations of collusion between Mr. Trump's associates and Russia"
"and she later learned of the fact of this investigation from Director Comey's subsequent public testimony. Ambassador Rice was not informed of any FISA applications sought by the FBI in its investigation, and she only learned of them from press reports after leaving office."
Here's the problem: based on today's declassification, Susan Rice heard the conversation between Barack Obama and James Comey. That conversation included information on crossfire razor against Gen Flynn.
And she wrote it in the memo to self.
Here's the other thing: David Corn and Michael Isikoff wrote about exactly how much Susan Rice knew and was integral in both crossfire hurricane and crossfire razor in their book "Russian Roulette"
"Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser, ordered the video feed turned off. She did not want others in the national security establishment to know what was underway, fearing leaks from within the bureaucracy"
"Rice would chair the principals’ meetings—which brought together Brennan, Comey, Kerry, James Clapper, Defense Secretary Ash Carter, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and General Joseph Dunford"
"with only a few other WH officials present, including White House chief of staff Denis McDonough, homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco, and Colin Kahl, Joe Biden’s national security adviser. (Kahl had to insist he be allowed to attend so Biden could be kept up to speed)"
The odds that Susan Rice did not know about crossfire hurricane or crossfire razor is zero. It is also interesting that her attorney is the person who was White House council to her old boss Barack Obama and worked with Mueller special counsel Shadow puppeteer Andrew Weissman.
Here's the bottom line: The entire Obama administration was spying on the incoming Trump administration. They knew it was illegal.
The cover up was even more elaborate than the spying. It's why the same names show up on the same dates and deny knowing what the other was doing.
