Obama’s former National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, sent an email to herself on January 20, 2017, memorializing a secret January 5th Oval Office meeting.
Among those present at the meeting were Barack Obama, Sally Yates, James Comey, Susan Rice, John Brennan, and James Clapper. The January 2017 meeting was to disco the fake Steele dossier and their crooked investigation in General Flynn.
Acting DNI Richard Grenell declassified the email and released it to the public on Tuesday, the email implicates that Obama and Comey were thick as thieves. The email shows that Barack Obama and Comey discussed Flynn’s communications with Kislyak. Often in the email, Rice claimed Obama instructed law enforcement to proceed “by the book.”
Rice also wrote that Comey “affirmed that he is proceeding “by the book” as it relates to law enforcement.
Well, on Wednesday, Rice threw Obama’s White House Counsel under the bus and claimed that she was directed by them to write the email to herself.
#BREAKING: @AmbassadorRice’s team confirms to #FoxNews that she was directed by White House Counsel to write the Jan 20, 2017 memorandum documenting an Oval Office meeting in which President Obama & National Security officials discussed #MichaelFlynn.

Former US Attorney Brett L. Tolman spoke out about Susan Rice’s email, explaining that Rice’s efforts were to cover her and Obama’s butt; fortunately for us, that has backfired.
Here’s what Tolman said:
This is the declassified Rice “Top Secret” email from her official email to presumably her personal email. This is not just a CYA but a CEA “cover everyone’s a**” attempt. This shows Obama and Biden were calling shots against Flynn and Comey was providing the ammunition. pic.twitter.com/NQYKtMX5eK

This whole Flynn effort is not just hollow. Pretend. But fabricated out of literally nothing and this bizarre email by Rice, given what we now know, is actually more damning than exonerating of Obama, Biden and Comey. This is probably why Sally Yates was so shell shocked

they didn’t want to get caught. The ones trying to catch someone in the Trump administration didn’t want to get caught illegally spying and investigating. This is why Rice’s “Top Secret” email is so important.
