That's not what I was saying. I was saying he's a horrible SCJ. That's all.
Bklyn, why do you have a problem with well-educated black men in position of great power?
Rice unmasked the surveillance of Trump and his people. Yes, she had the legal authority to do that, but it never seemed to occur to her that a National Security Advisor of a Democrat President unmasking the identities of a Republican presidential candidate and his staff, then Republican president-elect and his staff, looks really, really bad to any reasonable person. To change the rules of who gets access to the unmasked intelligence so that practically everybody in government has access to it, exponentially increasing the likelihood that somebody in the Bureau of Weights and Measures or the US Mint, will leak it, looks even more really really bad. To do so in the last days of the outgoing administration, looks even more really really bad.
And if the outgoing Democrat NSA does unmask the identities of an incoming Republican President and his staff, she had better have a REALLY, REALLY good reason to do so in the interest of national security. It is being reported that the identities that Rice unmasked were in communications that had nothing to do with the Russian investigation. If that turns out to be true, then Rice unmasked for purely political reasons, which is Watergate v. 2.0, and she should go to jail.
Lastly, somebody leaked secret unmasked material to unauthorized persons and it went public. Whoever did that committed a felony and deserves to go to jail. If the leaker turns out to be the unmasker, then she needs to go to jail for even longer. If the leaker turns out to be somebody else, then Rice should bear some legal responsibility for enabling that leaker.
