Susan Rice is the "GURRRRL!"

Andrea did a good job of asking all the hard questions. Susan just put the 45 administration on notice to do their jobs as well as she did. Yes, call her to testify. She will ram it down their collective throats.

45 and his minions are going to push this until they get caught in their own web of treason.

These people are insane and no amount of testimony will convince these witch hunters of anything.

It's completely clear what the trump mob is doing to this country. Chipping away at our foundations. Al Sisi - his latest tyrant bromance.

We MUST keep up the pressure in every and any way we can. Even then, we may fall into fascism.

People are pissed; trump better watch his step.

I'd bet some serious (to me) money that she would tear them to pieces, these people represent amateur hour in DC and truly don't have a clue. Very unfortunately, their leader is the most ignorant, venom filled, racist one of them all. He really thinks that since it worked in the election, it will work here and he will just keep spreading Russia's lies and disininformation. I'd love for Rice to say that they were tapping suspected Russian criminals/spies for years and drumpfs team showed up on the intercepts, so the names were revealed to protect national security. Burn!! She will have the privilege of telling the truth so will have the much stronger position in answering the lies.

Andrea asked Susan Rice if she knew Flynn was a foreign agent when she was briefing him as part of her role as National Security Advisor during the transition process. Rice said she did not know; that she found out from the media like everyone else.

The thought of these treasonous scumbags being privy to sensitive national security secrets and being helped to such information by such well meaning folks as Susan Rice just makes me sick.

So leakers (CNN said there were 9 current or former govt officials according to Wash Post) were probably FBI, Justice Dept. or affiliated with Trump WH.

Evidently, they are more interested in having Rice under subpoena so they can grill her on Libya.

Those assholes are just deflecting again, only this time McCain, Graham, and the whole lot of them are jumping gleefully on the bandwagon. And I guess Rand Paul is trump's new BFF. They are sickening.

Too bad it's a bit too late for most Americans and many in the world who are
already suffering because the media were so remiss in their reporting before
the election, including Ms. Mitchell, bless her rightwing heart.

Her problem is that once she made her way to the top she started letting her personal bias affect her reporting. It's too bad because she really was a good reporter who could have done a lot of good for the country.

I think she's doing a better job now because she was dissed
by 45 and Tillerson.

She's supposed to be thought of as a Reep ally, and that must
have stung, I guess.

Sorry I don't know if you are black or not. And honestly I don't care.

I really hate this level of familiarity with black female professionals and leaders. They aren't your auntie or gurl. They are grown women who are professionals.

I've experienced the same thing in my profession usually from white women who think every black woman no matter our social status or education is calling everyone girl in every setting. Just makes me sick tbh.
