Trump Surveillance:

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said the spying on the American candidate for president of the United States was not premeditated, directly contradicting top Trump officials who say the spying was planned in advance.

"Our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous - not a premeditated - response to what had transpired," Rice told "This Week."

"In NYC, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a Anti-Trump protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive Trump," Rice said, referring to protests in NYC over a audio tape that depicts Trump as a womanizer. Protesters in NYC breached Trump Tower, tearing apart an American flag.

"We believe that folks in NYC, a small number of people came to Trump Tower to - or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in NYC," Rice said. "And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier surveillance techniques … And it then evolved from there."


Benghazi:

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi last week was not premeditated, directly contradicting top Libyan officials who say the attack was planned in advance.

"Our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous - not a premeditated - response to what had transpired in Cairo," Rice told me this morning on "This Week."

"In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated," Rice said, referring to protests in Egypt Tuesday over a film that depicts the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud. Protesters in Cairo breached the walls of the U.S. Embassy, tearing apart an American flag.

"We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to - or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo," Rice said. "And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons… And it then evolved from there."


Joking aside, I see she is already out there dying it. But she is choosing her words very carefully.....like adding the caveat, "....for political purposes" which of course is nearly impossible to prove or disprove.

From a legal standpoint she will have to prove that it was done FOR national security reasons.  If there's no plausible National Security reason then she has legally committed espionage and should go to prison.  The other part people are missing is who did she work for?  She reported directly to Obama and nobody else.  So, we're to either believe that Obama had no clue that she was unmasking political opponents "for national security reasons" or he was directly involved with spy gate. 

This is shaping up to be far worse than Watergate and there's quite possibly a good reason Obama is hanging out on an island that doesn't have an extradition treaty.

She very well may not have leaked it to the press, but she took names that are only to be unmasked for national security reasons and disseminated them throughout the administration to ensure Trump didn't "make it go away".  Thereby making it extremely easy for them to leak to the press.  So even if she didn't actually leak the information to the press, she directly enabled it which is just as bad.

“I know nothing about this. I was surprised to see reports from Chairman Nunes on that count today.” - Susan Rice 2 weeks ago.

I read this recently and liked it:

"The criminal law also has another good rule of thumb: Consciousness of guilt is best proved by false exculpatory statements."
