Obama’s Designated Liar- the Chronicles of Susan Rice

Obama’s Designated Liar- the Chronicles of Susan Rice

Former National Security Advisor and one-time Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, author of a “disturbing e-mail,” sent to herself some fifteen minutes after Donald J. Trump was sworn in as President of the United States, has had much to say on behalf of her boss, Barack Obama, the bulk of which has been outright lies designed to cover the mistakes and misdeeds of her former boss.

Having cut her teeth in the Clinton Administration as part of the National Security Council, Rice first covered the tracks for President Clinton’s lack of response for Rwandan genocide in 1994. Her primary concern was how Clinton’s “lack of response would affect Democrats running in that year’s mid-term election”, according to an article in The Atlantic, authored by Samantha Power, who would go on to serve as U.N. Ambassador replacing Rice, when Rice became National Security Advisor.

While serving as U.N. Ambassador, it was Susan Rice who, on September 16, 2012, appeared on five Sunday talk shows, claiming that the preceding week’s September 11th raid on the Benghazi Consulate was “a spontaneous reaction to an internet video which ‘insulted’ the Islamic prophet, Muhammed.” In doing so, Rice repeatedly dismissed the notion that the attack was actually pre-planned in observance of the 9-11 attacks, eleven years before. As events unfolded during the weeks which followed, Rice was proved to be a liar who, in fact, was attempting to provide political cover for Obama’s re-election, as it had been his claim that Al-Qaeda in Libya was under control. The truth about the raid on Benghazi came out, but not in time for Obama’s re-election to be thus affected. Obama, Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice all knew at the time that the “spontaneous reaction to an online-video” was a lie, but that didn’t dissuade them from trotting out Rice to be the designated liar on that Sunday, the 16th.

In a June 2nd, 2014 interview with former Clinton advisor George Stephanopoulos on his ABC morning show, it was Susan Rice who claimed that deserter Bowe Bergdahl “served the United States with honor and distinction.” She also added, “Sergeant Bergdahl wasn’t simply a hostage; he was an American prisoner of war captured on the battlefield.” As the truth about Bergdahl’s desertion surfaced in the coming weeks and months, it became known that Rice had been sent in on another mission- this time to rationalize Obama’s decision to trade five high-level Guantanamo detainees in exchange for Bergdahl’s release by the Taliban in Afghanistan. Once again, a lie proffered for political prevarication and deception.

Monday’s release of an email written by Rice, fifteen days following a January 5, 2017 meeting between Obama, Vice-President Joe Biden, FBI Director James Comey, Deputy FBI Director Sally Yates and Rice, suggests that she was attempting to cover Obama’s tracks, once again.

“President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities ‘by the book,’” Rice wrote. “The president stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.”

The issue to which Rice was referring was the Obama-led investigation into alleged collusion by the Trump campaign, all based on evidence gathered in the FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates. We learned last week that the FISA warrants were granted based on supposed “evidence,” obtained from the Christopher Steele dossier, which was bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC.

So, while Barack Obama, Joe Biden, James Comey, Sally Yates and Susan Rice all knew that the FISA court had been “had” by the FBI, who failed to disclose to the FISA court who it was that funded the false dossier, it was Rice who then indicated in her January 20th e-mail, Obama’s insistence that the investigation should be done “by the book,” all in an attempt to cover for her boss one last time, and clean up the sordid mess before it became property of the National Archives.

A “by the book” investigation, borne of treachery and deceit, all aimed to bring down the presidency of a duly-elected successor to Barack Hussein Obama…

…aided and abetted by his “designated liar.”
