Susan Rice News ‘Appears to Be a Story Largely Ginned Up,
Partly as a Distraction’

CNN chief national security correspondent Jim Sciutto told
Anderson Cooper tonight that the news about Susan Rice
allegedly being involved in the “unmasking” of Trump transition
officials appears to be a “distraction” from the bigger picture
on Russia.

Earlier today, Sciutto said on The Lead that former
intelligence officials from Democratic and Republican
administrations told him that “based on what they know, this
unmasking, if it happened, would not be out of bounds,” because
of the approval process required and because unmasking is not
the same as leaking.

He spoke with Anderson Cooper tonight and provided this
statement he received from someone “close to” Rice:

“The idea that Ambassador Rice improperly sought the identities
of Americans is false. There is nothing unusual about making
these requests when serving as a senior national security
official, whether Democrat or Republican.”

Sciutto again brought up what he has heard from those former
intel officials and said the following:

“This appears to be a story largely ginned up, partly as a
distraction from this larger investigation.”

He added a few minutes later, “Now, the open question is, does
an Ambassador Rice or someone else in that position who’s
requested unmasking then share that information with someone
else? That’s possible. We don’t know that at this point, but
it’s not sort of put on a memo and distributed around, you
know, 35 people in the White House, at least by protocol.”

The Washington Free Beacon earlier today highlighted Rice’s
March 22nd appearance on PBS NewsHour, in which Rice was asked
about Congressman Devin Nunes‘s disclosure of “incidental
collection” of Team Trump communications at the center of all
this.

Rice said, “I know nothing about this. I was surprised to see
reports from Chairman Nunes on that count today.”
