Interesting also that the President and his inner circle and the FBI were concerned about the possible associations that the President-Elect had with Russia, especially considering that they showed extraordinarily little interest in the associations that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had (or perhaps was having) with Russians. Not even when a Russian oligarch funneled half a million dollars to Mrs. C’s husband. Those would seem to be at least as interesting.
Susan Rice might be a sycophant, and she might be dishonest, but she is not careless and she is not stupid. She knew that “memo to self” would be in the federal files, and, if we may cast this is in a poor light, she may have intended that it be used to exculpate the administration or justify something they did. A few dozen scandals back, one of Hillary Clinton’s sycophants, when confronted with an entry in his own diary that contradicted a key claim he had made in testimony, took one for the team and said, “I lied to my diary.” Hmm…what makes us think of that now?
