President Trump ripped former national security adviser Susan Rice on Thursday for unmasking the names of his top aides in an intelligence report.

“She’s not supposed to be doing that, and what she did was wrong,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “We’ve been saying that. It’s just the tip of the iceberg. She wasn’t supposed to be doing that — the unmasking and the surveillance. I heard she admitted that yesterday.”

CNN reported on Wednesday that Rice told House investigators that in December — after Trump had won the election and before his inauguration — she authorized the unmasking of the identities of his advisers Michael Flynn, Stephen Bannon and Jared Kushner in an intelligence report, revealing them internally.

Rice said she did so because the three were meeting with United Arab Emirates (UAE) crown prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan, who had apparently not informed the Obama administration that he was traveling to New York City. Nahyan was not required to do so, but Rice said it would have been standard diplomatic procedure at the time.

4. herr drumpf doesn't recognize integrity when he encounters it.

5. He has no idea what anyone in government is supposed to do or not do.

He's totally clueless what any of their duties are, much less what the regulations are. Besides that, even if he did know, he'd still lie about it. That's all he does is lie, bluff, bluster, threaten and destroy. Don't think that he's ever done anything good in his entire 72 year old life? If he has, it had to be a long time ago and of course benefited him personally or he wouldn't have done it.

Just like he made up the lie that Obama was wiretapping him (from his microwave) that was proven by the Justice Dept. to be a total fiction, he's now lying about this. When the Justice Dept. says that's what you do when you are investigating criminal actions by foreign countries, he'll just ignore it like he did the evidence of his lies about wiretapping.
