12 people could be involved in a treasonous scandal yet it's the leakers we should focus on.
Time out, isn't this whole thing about leaking and trying to influence and election? Wiki leaks DNC info (oh no!!!). Obama admin leaks names of unmasked (who gives a fuck, the Russians leaked some shit). Get your talking points straight. Either leaks matter or they don't.
"Unmasking" is non synonymous with "leaking." They are not even remotely the same. This is a shameful smokescreen put forth by team Trump with zero evidence.
False equivalency again. Rice did her job. She wasn't out there rogue leaking names (to whom?) She must request the information from the intelligence community, then they decide if the name is provided to her. Which is what she did. Furthermore there is a paper trail that shows how she followed protocol. Hardly something anybody would do who was breaking the law. That's about it. I guess the GOP can waste millions in tax payer money to "investigate" this if they want. They'll come up with nothing as usual.
The eagerness for right wing media outlets to go along with this distraction is almost treasonous in my book.

Hold your horses. Watergate began June 17, 1972, transcripts were released April 29, 1974, Nixon resigned August 7, 1974.

Looks like Trump hasn't figured out how to use the block feature on Twitter yet...
Twitter sues U.S. over demand for records on anti-Trump account
Twitter Inc said in a lawsuit on Thursday that it had received a demand from U.S. officials for records that could reveal the user behind an account opposed to President Donald Trump and that it was challenging the demand in court.
The lawsuit over the account @ALT_uscis, claimed to be run by federal immigration employees, was filed in federal court in San Francisco, where Twitter is based.
Following Trump's inauguration in January, anonymous Twitter feeds voicing concerns at more than a dozen U.S. government agencies appeared to challenge the president's views on climate change and other issues.
"The rights of free speech afforded Twitter’s users and Twitter itself under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution include a right to disseminate such anonymous or pseudonymous political speech," Twitter said in the lawsuit.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which is a defendant in the lawsuit, declined to comment on pending litigation.
The company said it received an administrative summons last month demanding that it provide records related to the account. The acronym CIS refers to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and the account's description refers to itself as "immigration resistance."
The social media company has a history of challenging other government demands for information on its users, including a 2012 demand from New York prosecutors about an Occupy Wall Street protester.

And we've now attacked the Assad regime. I think this is a mistake, as our primary emphasis should be ISIS, not the guy trying to wipe them out. I'll be interested to see how many people who feel this is appropriate and if they're willing to head to the recruiting office to risk their life for Syrian lives.
