General McMaster Allowed “Masking” Negress Susan Rice To Keep Top-Level Security Clearance

It might seem like it happened sometime during the last century, but do any of y’all remember how General Flynn was originally left exposed and open to brutal attack?

Well, keeping it simple, it all had to do with the “unmasking” thing that involved members of Obama’s Occupational Government spying on then-President Elect Trump’s transition team in an attempt to find something to invalidate the Election results – the main ringleader behind all of this was Bathhouse Barry’s National Security Adviser Susan Rice.

In the end, General Michael Flynn was essentially accused of treason by various cucks and the Lugenpresse after minor nonsense involving Russia was leaked – an event that eventually resulted in a forced resignation (one of Trump’s worst decisions thus far).

Flynn’s successor turned out to be General H.R. McMaster – a man who has been described by many as an anti-Russia, Neo-Con sociopath lacking even the most rudimentary emotions aside from blind rage.

And his response to the Rice unmasking coup?

Circa:

Almost one month after it was disclosed that former President Obama’s National Security Adviser Susan Rice was unmasking members of President Trump’s team and other Americans, Trump’s own national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, sent an official letter giving her unfettered and continuing access to classified information and waiving her “need-to-know” requirement on anything she viewed or received during her tenure, Circa has confirmed.

The undated and unclassified letter from McMaster was sent in the mail to Rice’s home during the last week of April. Trump was not aware of the letter or McMaster’s decision, according to two senior West Wing officials and an intelligence official, who spoke to Circa on condition that they not be named.

“I hereby waive the requirement that you must have a ‘need-to-know’ to access any classified information contained in items you ‘originated, reviewed, signed or received while serving,’ as National Security Adviser,” the letter said. The letter also states that the “NSC will continue to work with you to ensure the appropriate security clearance documentation remains on file to allow you access to classified information.”

Circa revealed in March that during President Obama’s tenure, top aides — including Rice, former CIA Director John Brennan and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch — routinely reviewed intelligence reports received from the National Security Agency’s incidental intercepts of Americans abroad. They were doing so by taking advantage of rules Obama relaxed starting in 2011 to help the government better fight terrorism, espionage by foreign enemies and hacking threats, according to documents obtained by Circa.

In June, the House Intelligence Committee subpoenaed Rice as part of the committee’s larger investigation into the unmasking of Americans under the Obama administration. Rice maintains that she never accessed the information inappropriately and has agreed to testify before the committee.

Under the law, and under certain conditions, it is common practice for some senior government officials to be given the unfettered access to classified information, and their “need to know” is waived under “Executive Order 13526 Section 4.4 Access by Historical Researchers and Certain Former Government Personnel.” But the White House officials told Circa that under the current congressional investigation, and given President Trump’s ongoing concern that members of his team were unmasked, Rice’s clearance should have been limited to congressional testimony only or revoked until the end of the investigation. Rice and Brennan have confirmed they sought the unredacted names of Americans in NSA-sourced intelligence reports, but insisted their requests were routine parts of their work and that they did nothing improper.Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power also has legal authority to unmask officials.

In a June tweet, Trump called the revelation that Rice and other Obama senior officials were unmasking members of his team the “big story… the ‘unmasking and surveillance’ that took place during the Obama administration.”

“Basically, this letter which was signed in the last week of April undercuts the president’s assertion that Susan Rice’s unmasking activity was inappropriate. In essence, anybody who committed a violation as she did would not be given access to classified information,” said a senior West Wing official, who was shown the document by Circa and verified its authenticity. “In fact, they would have their security clearance and right to ‘need-to-know’ stripped.”

“The point is, is that it lowers the bar for her,” the Senior West Wing official said.

“This memo McMaster sent to Rice makes it so that she doesn’t have to prove a continuing ‘need-to-know’ to have access to classified information and in effect is a White House pardon of Susan Rice and could be used by other Obama officials who conducted targeted unmasking of the campaign as a defense,” the official added.

The White House has not responded to requests for comment.

The only argument I’ve seen used to defend McMaster (it’s actually only come forth in the last week or so) involves what certain Alt-Lite fools (and a few hardcore Zionist Jews) describe as an intense anti-Israel bias.

He did go ahead and fire a random Jew on his staff for attending a Bar Mitzvah, and he has replaced some of the more hawkish underlings with less bloodthirsty individuals, but a quick look at social media makes it apparent that he’s got (((the right crew))) in his corner.

Russian propaganda is engaged in a fierce assault on McMaster, complementing Bannon’s efforts with the media and with Trump. A big moment.

The success or failure of the Bannon/alt-right/Russian assault on McMaster will be a key moment for the Trump Administration–& the country.

Inaccurate headline. Conservatives admire McMaster. It’s the alt-right that’s out to get him. https://t.co/gLcoeBk7E4

Misleading headline. Conservatives admire McMaster. As the article says, it’s the “nationalists” who want him gone. https://t.co/xXPjDgojmr

I honestly think that McMaster is now the most prolific and dangerous leaker in the White House – Priebus and Comey are gone, but yet the privacy debacle continues pretty much unabated.

If only we could have journalists arrested and interrogated minus their legal rights…
