Since that has been denied over and over again. Anything that caught degenerate donnies folks was incidental and wouldn't have come to light if they weren't up to their eyeballs with Russian connections. This whole unmasking story is nothing but a distraction that should only work with imbeciles who don't know better and think unmasking is illegal.

Top Obama Adviser Sought Names of Trump Associates in Intel [View all] 7962 Apr 2017 OP

The info apparently is coming from the trump team. I'll believe it if and when Rice shraby Apr 2017 #1

I just typed "Susan Rice" into twitter search. Whow--the RW is having riversedge Apr 2017 #2

That was the idea. The RW has had a seething hatred of Rice ever since 'Benghaaaaazi!!1!!!' TrollBuster9090 Apr 2017 #52

Yes, so true. Susan Rice has been on the RW radar for a LONGGGGGGGGG time. riversedge Apr 2017 #96

Agreed they have shown zero regard to telling the truth in the past from the cstanleytech Apr 2017 #23

All they're doing is PROVING leftynyc Apr 2017 #31

yep it's a lie azureblue Apr 2017 #59

I saw who posted it here and figured it might be a lie Eliot Rosewater Apr 2017 #101

Thank you, Maeve. 7962 Apr 2017 #12

Why didn't you include Rice's denial? SunSeeker Apr 2017 #36

Anyone can follow the link. I don't see the problem anyway. If Susan Rice saw a reason pnwmom Apr 2017 #65

Few people follow the link. Why ONLY give the White House side in the OP? SunSeeker Apr 2017 #73

I don't think those 4 paragraphs say anything negative. She was the NS advisor and had every right pnwmom Apr 2017 #76

The headline was very misleading and negative. nt SunSeeker Apr 2017 #79

Why? When I saw it, my conclusion was that she had a good reason to seek the names of those involved pnwmom Apr 2017 #80

The article does not provide that good reason, nor explain it was her job to review the intelligence SunSeeker Apr 2017 #83

His top advisor sought names. Nothing in there is negative in itself. Advisors have the right pnwmom Apr 2017 #103

Of course. But the article and headline did not say that. SunSeeker Apr 2017 #105

Narratives and agendas are getting sloppy. LanternWaste Apr 2017 #69

If you want uniform "narratives and agendas," you'll have to go to a right wing site. nt SunSeeker Apr 2017 #84

That doesn't mean he has to take the first four which are misleading as to the shraby Apr 2017 #14

They don't look misleading to me. muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #19

Not including Rice's denial is VERY MISLEADING. SunSeeker Apr 2017 #35

Personally, I don't think it's misleading. I ASSUMED she'd deny it. Not having seen any news yet TrollBuster9090 Apr 2017 #54

Not including Rice's denial makes it look like the headline is fact rather than Trump assertion. SunSeeker Apr 2017 #61

Just watched Faux News' 'The Five,' and sadly you're right. TrollBuster9090 Apr 2017 #92

Which is what I figured she would do as well. nt 7962 Apr 2017 #64

"Rice did not respond to an email seeking comment on Monday morning" muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #77

The headline was very misleading; the OP should have included the denial in the article. SunSeeker Apr 2017 #81

"last month" is not "late breaking news". muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #85

Without the denial, the headline is misleading. The denial was in the article. SunSeeker Apr 2017 #86

Fuck it, I don't want DU to become some closed-off world of denial muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #87

OFFS, I AM LOOKING AT WHAT IS BEING REPORTED. That is my point. SunSeeker Apr 2017 #91

No, the OP did not delete anything muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #94

The OP chose to not include a key fact FOUND IN THE ARTICLE. SunSeeker Apr 2017 #97

Oh, look, that's an article based on the one in the OP muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #99

The rule is 4 paragraphs, not "the 1st 4 paragraphs." SunSeeker Apr 2017 #102

CBS: "A Monday report by Bloombergs Eli Lake said that Rice requested the unmasking" muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #106

Objections to misleading OPs is not "ridiculous whining." SunSeeker Apr 2017 #108

Thank you for trying but sadly i think you're wasting your "breath' 7962 Apr 2017 #112

Well, hell, maybe folks will actually READ the article! 7962 Apr 2017 #63

How about exercising some JUDGMENT in picking your 4 paragraphs? SunSeeker Apr 2017 #95

See, this is the thing - you are demanding we put our own spin on the news muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #100

I am not asking for "spin," just that the OP not be misleading. SunSeeker Apr 2017 #104

By not including relevant paragraphs which can contradict the headline, you ARE putting a shraby Apr 2017 #119

And there is, for legal reasons, a 4 paragraph limit, so you can't include all of them muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #120

The CBS article is 7 hrs after what I posted. Should I be clairvoyant as well? 7962 Apr 2017 #107

How come there are no photos or information about this Ezra Cohen-Watnick? shraby Apr 2017 #5

He's been all over the news lately, here's lots of links BamaRefugee Apr 2017 #9

Most of those articles really don't have much about Ezra..and not pictures shraby Apr 2017 #16

tiny bit of smoke but zero fire - Ms. Rice did nothing wrong - only her job..... NoMoreRepugs Apr 2017 #43

Your OP is very misleading. One of your 4 paragraphs should have been Rices's DENIAL. SunSeeker Apr 2017 #45

If part of Ms. Rice's routine briefings from IC analysts hinted at emerging patterns, bigbrother05 Apr 2017 #46

Oh-oh. zentrum Apr 2017 #47
