Report: Susan Rice Ordered ‘Spreadsheets’ of Trump
Campaign Calls
by Joel B. Pollak 4 Apr 2017
President Barack
Obama’s National Security Advisor, Susan
Rice, allegedly ordered surveillance of Donald Trump’s campaign aides
during the last election, and maintained spreadsheets of their telephone calls,
the Daily Caller reports.
The alleged spreadsheets add a new dimension to
reports on Sunday and Monday by blogger Mike
Cernovich and Eli Lake
of Bloomberg
News that Rice had asked for
Trump aides’ names to be “unmasked” in intelligence reports. The alleged
“unmasking” may have been legal, but may also have been part of an alleged
political intelligence operation to disseminate reports on the Trump campaign
widely throughout government with the aim of leaking them to the press.
At the time that radio host Mark Levin and Breitbart News
compiled the
evidence of surveillance, dissemination, and leaking — all based on mainstream
media reports — the mainstream media dismissed the story as a “conspiracy
theory.”
Now, however, Democrats are backing away from that
allegation, and from broader allegations of Russian collusion with
the Trump campaign, as additional details of the Obama administration’s alleged
surveillance continue to emerge.
The Daily Caller reports:
“What was produced by the intelligence community at the
request of Ms. Rice were detailed spreadsheets of intercepted phone calls with
unmasked Trump associates in perfectly legal conversations with individuals,”
diGenova told The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group Monday.
“The overheard conversations involved no illegal activity
by anybody of the Trump associates, or anyone they were speaking with,”
diGenova said. “In short, the only apparent illegal activity was the unmasking of
the people in the calls.”
The surveillance and spreadsheet operation were allegedly
“ordered one year before the 2016 presidential election.” According to a Fox News report
on Monday, former White House aide Ben Rhodes was
also involved.
Rhodes and Rice were both implicated in
a disinformation campaign to describe the Benghazi terror attack in Sep. 2012 as a protest against a YouTube video. Rhodes also
boasted of creating an “echo
chamber” in the media to promote the Iran deal, feeding stories to
contrived networks of “experts” who offered the public a steady stream of
pro-agreement propaganda.
On Monday, Rhodes retweeted a CNN
story quoting Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) claiming that the alleged unmasking was
“nothing unusual.”
To the extent they have reported the surveillance story
at all, CNN and other news outlets have focused on Trump’s tweets last month
that alleged President Obama had “wiretapped” Trump Tower, describing the
claims as unfounded.
CNN continued treating story dismissively
on Monday, with The Lead host Jake Tapper insisting allegations of Russian interference in the
election were more important than what he referred to as the president’s effort
to distract from them.
Later in the day, host Don Lemon declared he
would ignore the surveillance story and urged viewers to do likewise.
The potential abuse of surveillance powers for political
purposes has long troubled civil libertarians, and could affect the
re-authorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Amendments
Act later this year.
