BPR "It appears presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden and Obama-era National Security Adviser Susan Rice are two sleazy unmasking peas in a pod of potential illegalities.
"On Thursday, a day after Biden and Rice were both outed as being among the Obama administration officials who’d sought to unmask then-incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn in late 2016 and early 2017, word emerged that Rice is on Biden’s VP shortlist.
" 'You’re on the list of one of the people to be considered for Joe Biden’s vice president,” PBS host Margaret Hoover revealed to Rice during an interview with her." . . .
“In light of General Flynn’s unmasking by the Obama Administration, the job of Congress will be to perform oversight of these unmasking requests to ensure the process was used for legitimate national security concerns, not reprisals or political curiosity,” chair committee Sen. Lindsey Graham said in tweets Wednesday.

Well, Flynn would probably disagree given as Biden and Rice were both among those who sought to unmask him for reasons that are just now starting to be investigated thanks to the Senate Judiciary Committee.“Tone at the top is hugely important,” @AmbassadorRice tells @FiringLineShow. Rice says she expects that Pres. Obama and VP Biden would have worn masks if in office during the #COVID19 pandemic but says instead there is currently a “false machismo” on display at the White House. pic.twitter.com/ElgJhUYhn7— Firing Line with Margaret Hoover (@FiringLineShow) May 14, 2020 Video
