We knew this, of course. But the unredacted version of Susan Rice’s Inauguration Day memo from January of 2017 seems just a bit hapless (or
perhaps finger-pointy) as a “CYA” memo. Unredacting the memo has
clarified in black and white what we have heretofore concluded through deduction: that members of the Obama administration discussed in one week
the same highly classified information that was leaked to the media the
next week, and were fully cognizant of doing so throughout the whole
period. Rice helpfully wrote it down for us.

The redacted memo (or “Note to File” email) was originally published with
the paragraph marked by Catherine Herridge blacked out. (There’s a link
below where you can see the blacked-out version.)

Trending: Gaffe alert: Biden says he’s ‘going to beat Joe Biden’

The unredacted memo gives us that paragraph in full.

The memo is classified “Top Secret.” It was redacted at first because of
the formerly blacked-out paragraph. That paragraph, now declassified so everyone can see it, is what was Top Secret.

(Whether “Top Secret” was precisely the correct classification is a
separate issue, and one we can’t go into here. The information in the paragraph would, however, have been classified.)

That’s the information that was leaked to the Washington Post and
published in David Ignatius’s column a week after the meeting.

You can see why it’s not quite the CYA you would want, if you’d been in a foxhole with Susan Rice.

Here’s the sequence of events, just for grins.

5 January 2017: Biden, Rice, Comey, and Yates (DOJ) discuss the phone call intercepts of Flynn and Kislyak with Obama in the Oval Office.

12 January 2017: Information about the phone-call intercepts of Flynn and Kislyak is published in the Washington Post.

20 January 2017: On Inauguration Day, Susan Rice – well aware that the information about the phone calls between Flynn and Kislyak has been
published in the Washington Post – composes a Note for File in which she commemorates the 5 January discussion of the Flynn-Kislyak phone calls, classified Top Secret.

Thus, Rice solemnly commemorated corroborating evidence for a felony
crime.

Notably, the redaction in the original release was done by the Information Access Manager at the National Security Council, John Powers. (Mr.
Powers’s government career is in archiving, including classified
archiving; he was on a rotation from the National Archives to the NSC at
the time.) The date of the redaction is marked as 6/13/2017. The memo
was forwarded to the Senate Judiciary Committee in response to a request
to the National Archives from Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham. (See
link.) They went public with it when they sent a letter to Rice in
February 2018 asking her to answer questions about it.

So a disinterested professional party is the one who determined which of
Rice’s unmarked paragraphs contained the Top Secret information, when it
was time to redact the memo for wider release. There’s no question that
the memo presents evidence of knowledge by senior officials about “Top
Secret” monitoring of the Flynn-Kislyak phone calls, prior to the leak of
that information to WaPo.

Others are making the case today that Rice’s memo basically points the
finger at James Comey as the bag-man of the Flynn-Kislyak monitoring enterprise.

Rice CYA Jan 20, 2017 email redirects responsibility for “irregularities”
of Flynn Title 50 surveillance away from Clapper and Obama and over to FBI Comey – tryin to make it appear as part of their August 16th LE (non-FISA) CrossFire Razor query. https://t.co/v6SOESWPi8

This is deliberately written to make it look like COMEY is the decider
here, he's the executive that makes the decision to hide from Flynn & the
rest of the incoming Trump team that they are TARGETS of an ongoing counterintelligence sting being run by the FBI.

I’d have to agree. And the finger-pointing at Comey looks sneaky and
conniving too. (Makes me wonder if releasing the unredacted memo is a Bat-signal to Comey; i.e., if he has something to say, now’s the time to
talk to Mr. Durham.)

There will be more bag-men to throw under the bus. But this is a bad week
to be the FBI. You know what they say about elephants dancing. Get out
of the way.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.

Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
5, 2020. "President Trump, Not Guilty."
