<p>From <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/06/19/judicial-watch-susan-rice-unmasking-documents-moved-from-nsc-to-obama-library/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Breitbart.com</span></a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<h1><span style="color: #008000;">Judicial Watch: Susan Rice ‘Unmasking’ Documents Moved from NSC to Obama Library</span></h1>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">by Kristina Wong</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">The National Security Council cannot hand over records relating to former National Security Adviser Susan Rice’s surveillance of Americans, because they have been moved to the Obama presidential library and may be sealed for as many as five years, conservative watchdog Judicial Watch announced Monday.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Of course, the first thing one thinks is: surely nothing but innocent coincidence, yes?</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #008000;">The NSC <a class=" x5l" href="http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/nsc-unmasking-records-response/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">informed Judicial Watch in a letter dated May 23</a> that materials related to Rice’s requests to know the identities of Americans swept up in surveillance of foreign targets, including any Trump campaign or transition officials, have been moved to the library.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">The NSC’s Director of Access Management John Powers said in the letter:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29425" src="http://bloviatingzeppelin.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/JUDICIAL-WATCH-LETTER.jpg" alt="" width="701" height="845" srcset="http://bloviatingzeppelin.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/JUDICIAL-WATCH-LETTER.jpg 701w, http://bloviatingzeppelin.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/JUDICIAL-WATCH-LETTER-249x300.jpg 249w" sizes="(max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px" />Now if this isn’t perfect, I don’t know what is.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #008000;">Judicial Watch earlier this year filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for those documents, including of communications between Rice and any intelligence community member or agency regarding any Russian involvement in the 2016 elections, the hacking of Democratic National Committee computers, or any suspected communications between Russia and Trump officials.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>It began <a href="http://bloviatingzeppelin.net/trump-surveilled-update/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">as I documented here</span></a> when, in his last days, Mr Obama changed a few things.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #008000;">And in his final days in office, Obama created the largest ever expansion of access to non-minimized NSA intercepts, creating a path for all U.S. intelligence to gain access to unmasked reports by changes encoded in a Reagan-era Executive Order 12333.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">The government officials who could request or approve an exception to unmask a U.S. citizen’s identity has grown substantially. The NSA now has 20 executives who can approve the unmasking of American information inside intercepts, and the FBI has similar numbers.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">And executives in 16 agencies — not just the FBI, CIA and NSA — have the right to request unmasked information.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Confirmed by the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/12/us/politics/nsa-gets-more-latitude-to-share-intercepted-communications.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">NYTimes.com</span></a>, you see.</p>
<blockquote>
<h1 id="headline" class="headline"><span style="color: #008000;">N.S.A. Gets More Latitude to Share Intercepted Communications</span></h1>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">by Charlie Savage</span></p>
<p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="259" data-total-count="259"><span style="color: #008000;">WASHINGTON — In its final days, the Obama administration has expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s <a title="List of agencies." href="https://www.dni.gov/index.php/intelligence-community/members-of-the-ic">16 other intelligence agencies</a> before applying privacy protections.</span></p>
<p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="397" data-total-count="656"><span style="color: #008000;">The new rules significantly relax longstanding limits on what the N.S.A. may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations, which are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. These include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between people abroad that cross domestic network switches.</span></p>
<p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="320" data-total-count="976"><span style="color: #008000;">The change means that far more officials will be searching through raw data. Essentially, the government is reducing the risk that the N.S.A. will fail to recognize that a piece of information would be valuable to another agency, but increasing the risk that officials will see private information about innocent people.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Why are these documents important? Because, if you recall, it was Susan Rice who was responsible for the unmasking of Trump and others in his campaign and staff via NSA intercepts.</p>

<p><a href="https://medium.com/@Cernovich/susan-rice-requested-unmasking-of-incoming-trump-administration-officials-30085b5cff16"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Mike Cernovich wrote</span></a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<h1 id="3b88" class="graf graf--h3 graf--leading graf--title"><span class="markup--quote markup--h3-quote is-other" style="color: #008000;" data-creator-ids="anon d7bc7439af1b"><strong class="markup--strong markup--h3-strong">Susan Rice</strong> Requested Unmasking of Incoming Trump Administration Officials</span></h1>
<p id="db40" class="graf graf--p graf-after--h3"><span style="color: #008000;">Susan Rice, who served as the National Security Adviser under President Obama, has been identified as the official who requested unmasking of incoming Trump officials, Cernovich Media can exclusively report.</span></p>
<p id="a3ea" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p"><span style="color: #008000;">The White House Counsel’s office identified Rice as the person responsible for the unmasking after examining Rice’s document log requests. The reports Rice requested to see are kept under tightly-controlled conditions. Each person must log her name before being granted access to them.</span></p>
<p id="c2b7" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p"><span style="color: #008000;">Upon learning of Rice’s actions, H. R. McMaster dispatched his close aide Derek Harvey to Capitol Hill to brief Chairman Nunes.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;">This reporter has been informed that Maggie Haberman has had this story about Susan Rice for at least 48 hours, and has chosen to sit on it in an effort to protect the reputation of former President Barack Obama.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>The House Intelligence Committee has also subpoenaed the intelligence community for information on unmasking requests by Rice, former CIA Director John Brennan, and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Powers. Guess what? Crickets.</p>
<p>Isn’t this the perfect circular firing squad? And isn’t it wonderful when the Demorats get to so thoroughly pre-plan their obstruction via Barack Hussein Obama?</p>
