Susan Rice suggests race, gender bias linked to 'unmasking' backlash
2017-06-29
[FOX] Susan Rice unmasking 'evidence' off limits for five years?

Susan Rice, the Obama national security adviser under fire over her alleged involvement in the "unmasking" of Trump associates during the 2016 presidential election, suggested in a fresh interview that race and gender might be playing a role in the scrutiny she’s faced.

In an interview with journalist Michael Tomasky for New York Magazine, Rice reportedly questioned the criticism she’s faced dating back to the Benghazi controversy.

"Why me? Why not Jay Carney, for example, who was then our press secretary, who stood up more?" she asked.

Tomasky noted in the piece that Carney "isn’t an African-American woman, of course" and apparently asked Rice whether that is the key factor. Rice, in response, left the door open:

"I don’t know... I do not leap to the simple explanation that it’s only about race and gender. I’m trying to keep my theories to myself until I’m ready to come out with them. It’s not because I don’t have any."

#13  When all else fails play the race card.

Looks like she *started* with the race card. She's probably prone to the fantasies held by a good number of blacks, which is that non-blacks are similarly ethically-challenged and crime-prone, except they don't get caught.

#8  Nothing to do with race or gender but a lot to do with being a lying dumb arse who breaks the law.

#7  Not necessarily:

Sources say Fusion GPS had its own interest, beyond those of its clients, in promulgating negative gossip about Trump.

Fritsch, who served as the Journal’s bureau chief in Mexico City and has lectured at the liberal Wilson Center’s Mexico Institute, married into a family with Mexican business interests. His wife, Beatriz Garcia, formerly worked as an executive at Grupo Dina, a manufacturer of trucks and buses in Mexico City that benefits from NAFTA, which Trump opposes.

Fritsch’s Fusion GPS partner Thomas Catan, who grew up in Britain, once edited a business magazine in Mexico.

#6  ...outsource. I'm somewhat confident that Mexico would like to deal with the Fast and Furious crowd linked to hundreds of dead citizens.

#1  Only if race and gender bias comes from you fucking up and deliberately breaking the law.

No?

Then shut the fuck up and go to prison.
