#1 Take note here class. Rand Paul.

Not Paul Ryan.

Not Mitch McConnell.

Rand Paul, Republican opponent of Trump during the campaign is suddenly sticking up for Trump. This is a power play against a weak House Leader Ryan. Stay tuned.

#2  I think she should testify under oath on this."

#3 Nothing was demanded of her following the Benghazi Sunday Talks, nothing will be demanded of her now. Behold the entitlement class. Her former boss, currently in self-imposed exile, could not be reached for comment.

#4 Not surprising Senator Paul would immediately jump on this one. Not only is he a grandstander this slides straight into his wheelhouse.

#5 Your frustration is showing DepotGuy after claiming this clearly predictable lawlessness never happened.

#6 Look for the "Hillary defense" should she be called up in front of a Congressional hearing; "I don't recall, I don't remember, what's the meaning of "it" and masking, and lastly, I take the 5th."

#7 Pretty sure that as NSA she was legally (and even ethically) permitted to request unmasking: contact between foreign persons of interest and Americans in sensitive positions could be a security threat. Revealing that information to other agencies and people only became legal after a late Obama order, but it would still be unethical if used for anything other than security purposes. I suspect the main motivation for permitting such interagency dispersal was to make it impossible to determine where the clearly illegal leaks to media and political operatives (but I repeat myself) originated.

#9 Your frustration is showing DepotGuy after claiming this clearly predictable lawlessness never happend.

Not true Nero White. But given your often simplistic regurgitations it's not surprising you would come to that conclusion. So let me set it straight. I've only maintained that if President Trump could not provide substantial proof to back up his tweets it would forever damage his credibility and make it extremely difficult to enact his agenda. And one of the main keys was that surveillance had to be routed through the White House (not just some un known analyst). There's nothing conclusive yet but I suspect Dr.Rice may already be considering legal representation.

Would that include Potus 44?
Perhaps "foreign person of interest" currently residing in an "interesting foreign place".
Side question: Whose watching the kids and feeding the dog?

If only that person of interest could be barred from re-entering.

With whom DG? I can only speak for myself, but - given the last 8 years - I've no doubt.

There is a growing suspicion that the last thing he wants is to re-enter. That person cannot be reached for comment. Furthermore, if he has to do it without the help of a teleprompter, any comment would most likely be unintelligible.

#17 Sadly, Champ will be back from "Elba" once he and the ghost writer finish the book drafts to collect the 60 million advance. Collecting the money matters above everything. The Obumble tribe likes the sweet ride of wealth. Expect the mouth to start moving on arrival and the MSM adoration to erupt in thanks. But if Rice can be twisted to give up ValJar and all the Iran story......

#18 When was the last time someone did serious jail time perjuring themselves before Congress. Remember, laws are for little people.

Far worse than 'sad.' The thought of his imminent return is disgusting and repulsive.

#20 Perjury before Congress should be punished at least as severely as lying to the FBI - e.g. Scooter Libby & Martha Stewart. And it doesn't have to be sworn testimony either.
