Classified docs contradict Nunes surveillance claims, GOP and Dem sources say

[emoji38] That's what you're gonna go with?


1. She also claimed to know nothing of the collection on the Trump team,

2. Unmasking is the process of exposing identities within reporting. You are attempting to base your argument on the difference between "speeding" and "driving your car faster than the speed limit".

3. The question was clear. Rice lied. :)

Your claim that Rice lied was manufactured and debunked, cpwill. Deal with it. Feel free to "pinch the bridge of your nose" in response.

Per WaPo, a FISA warrant was granted for Carter Page and that he passed documents to the Russians.

Funny that Carter Page isn't in custody, isn't it? Maybe you think you know more than you actually know and assume far more than you realize.

Bro, this is an argument so bad, I would expect it from a Trump devotee defending a tweet about an Enquirer story. Rice not only knew about it, she read the reports, and she was the one who requested the exposure of the USPER identities (this process is known as "unmasking").

When asked if she knew ANYTHING about it, she claimed she didn't know ANYTHING about it. That was a lie, your dependence on denying the linguistic existence of synonyms notwithstanding.

And did the interviewer use the word unmasking, or have you spent the last sixteen pages violently shoving that word into the interviewer's mouth in a pathetic attempt to hold onto an indefensible position?

That's why I drew this out for sixteen pages, cpwill. I wanted to see how long you could pretend to avoid the fact that the interviewer didn't say the one thing you kept saying she did, over and over and over again. I wanted to see if your position was based on ignorance or dishonesty. Now we've confirmed it's the latter.

Now that we've settled that....what was that other question you had?
 
Uh. As I recall, Nunes said that what Rice did in unmasking was legal - it was the leaking that broke the law.

so, unless I"m wrong and Nunes claimed that Rice's unmasking broke federal law, this is kinda just repetition of the status quo.

Being a person of a certain age I distinctly remember the foundation of the Nixon Watergate debacle had its roots in an obsession with leaks and leakers and that was the impetus for much of the Nixon administration illegality ........... and I am also old enough to remember how that particular sorry episode ended both for Nixon and the nation.

When will the Trump apologists ever get it through their thick heads that trying to shift the attention of the country away from Russian possible Trump involvement to leaks of that same information will never ever work and it only makes them look horribly desperate?
 
:yawn:

Tribalists to the Left of me, Tribalists to the right, here I am.

Nunes ran over to the WH in hopes he could reconcile Donnys 3AM tweet, and now both men look like what they are, liars.

What's really interesting about this discussion is that those of you attacking Rice and defending Trump apparently don't care much that the Trump campaign shouldn't have been having those conversations in the first place.

Your not upset about what they were doing, but rather that they got caught. Now you remind me of all the Dems who were upset about Hillary's emails being revealed.

If people like Trump and Hillary didn't do stupid things in the first place, then they wouldn't have to be angry when the truth comes out.

The amount of slander and libel thrown around against Obama and Rice are unlike anything I've seen since Swift Boat. Nunes and Trump have no shame, and that includes certain people in this thread.

Apparently you can't read. Go back to the first couple of pages where I went to some length to demonstrate that Trump had - as is his wont - flown off the handle and made claims which were stupid and false. I was #NeverTrump before it was cool, and before there was the hashtag, but I didn't turn in my ability to apply critical thinking in order to defend my tribe / attack the other. I will critique politicians of either party where they are wrong, and acknowledge them when they are right. Trump lies because he's a liar. Rice lies because she is a liar. Both of them are liars.

That often confuses the tribalists, and in any given week I am accused of being a liberal trump-hating RINO by some, and a Trump defender by others such as you.

What is clear is that you were lying when you claimed that the PBS question asked about unmasking.

LMMFAO. You manufactured a quote to create a straw man with nearly your first post on this thread, have beat that straw man mercilessly for pages, ignored Nunes' claims and how the OPs article debunked them, and then moved the goal posts to Rice 'lying' on PBS as somehow some big scandal, then you're whining about people making "arguments so bad" you'd expect them from a Trump devotee! :lamo

And let's go back to Rice's so-called lie. First of all, the question she answered was a long and rambling one and it's impossible to tell what 'question' she was answering. Second, in that interview, she freely admits to 'unmasking' as a normal part of her job as NSA. So there is no deception that she does this on a fairly routine basis because she tells the PBS host that she does it and why. Third, at this point she's out of office and cannot have seen the documents Nunes was referring to, what was "disclosed," so how can she know what in the hell he's talking about. Third, as you must know, I doubt if there is anything she COULD say about who she might have unmasked outside a classified hearing, because to admit to knowing about unmasking Trump's people would be to reveal classified information in a news interview, that their conversations were caught up in intercepts of other targets, which is to provide a big list of potential targets of FISA warrants, and that Trump's people had been unmasked. I can't imagine that this is information she can share freely with the public. So the obvious answer is "I cannot comment on any of this at all" versus "I don't know anything about this." Wow, that's a true SCANDAL!@! Throw her in JAIL!!!!

:roll: No ****. Welcome to we-knew-that-a-year-ago. Trump being a liar, however, doesn't make Rice not a liar, any more than Bill Clinton's sexual misadventures means Denny Hastert didn't have any.

You are the guy who choose to try to dance around refusing to answer or even describing your claim until you settled on trying to deny synonyms.

You are correct - some of the people in this thread have demonstrated that they lack any shame in their willingness to defend Their Side.

As of now there is no proof Rice lied. But your willing to believe a man who cons Vets out of there benefits, and does not have the decency to apologize.

That is not the only lie he has clung to. He also said
Uh. As I recall, Nunes said that what Rice did in unmasking was legal -

He still has not acknowledged that Nunes said nothing about Rice and that he made this up

Your 'bipartisan, just the facts' act is completely revealed as nonsense throughout the whole thread. :roll:
