Biden Appoints Obama’s Liar-in-Chief to Domestic Policy Council

December 16, 2020 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

There are two types of cabinet positions in any administration. The first are those that demand Senate confirmation. These generally go to respected professionals and politicians whose careers have avoided controversy.

The second type of cabinet position is the unvetted, unconfirmed group of presidential advisers and White House staff who serve at the president’s discretion. This group is usually made up of loyal campaign staff, political flunkies, the occasional expert, and party hacks who have destroyed their reputation so badly that they can never be appointed to a Senate-confirmed position.

Susan Rice falls in the latter category.

Joe Biden has signaled he will hire Rice as the chief of his Domestic Policy Council. David Marcus explained Biden’s embrace of the worst of the Obama era in the NY Post on December 10, writing:

In his latest effort to refill the swamp with Obama administration lackeys, President-elect Joe Biden has tapped former National Security Adviser Susan Rice to lead his White House ­Domestic Policy Council.

Really, Joe?

Rice, who was on Biden’s short list for the vice-presidential nomination this year, is a veritable poster child of Obama-era corruption. Her fingerprints are all over at least two of the most significant scandals of that supposedly spotless administration: the debacle surrounding the 2012 attack on US facilities in Benghazi, Libya, and the outrageous “unmasking” of Gen. Michael Flynn.

Rice played a central role in the Benghazi fiasco. She was, after all, the public face of a blatant Team Obama lie about the cause of the deadly terror assault.

She would tell the American people that the attack — which claimed the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens — was a “spontaneous” reaction to a YouTube video posted by an American. Michael Morell, the deputy CIA director at the time (and a vociferous President Trump critic today), was baffled by Rice’s insistence on this line. “Why she said this, I don’t know. It is a question only she can answer.”

Is it though? Isn’t it, in fact, rather obvious that this lie was told for two basic reasons? One, to deflect from the Obama administration’s intelligence whoopsies, namely, failing to detect and protect against the attack? And second, to blame America foremost for jihadist violence against us? If only we didn’t make irresponsible YouTube videos, the world would be a safer place.

Is this the kind of thinking Rice will bring to domestic policy?

But as bad as the Benghazi scandal was — and it was terrible — it pales in comparison to Rice’s ­involvement in spying on the Trump transition team and lying about it.

In April 2017, Rice was asked by PBS’s Judy Woodruff if she was aware of members of the Trump team being surveilled in connection with foreign investigations. Her answer: “I know nothing about this. I was surprised to see the reports.” But we now know that Rice was very much aware of, and a leader in, the spying efforts, including the unmasking of Flynn.

Perhaps Biden is comfortable with Rice’s prevarications, because he himself has a record of dishonesty regarding the effort made against the Trump transition team by the Obama administration, which he now admits to having had knowledge of. In the event, with the Justice Department’s probe into Team Obama’s 2016 transition shenanigans still underway, Rice will join Biden as a top White House player.

The common denominator of these two scandals, either one of which should be enough to keep anyone out of a position of public trust, is the lying.

Action Line: Biden appointed Rice because she knows where the bodies are buried. He can’t have her outside the administration, uncontrolled and ready to go off like a “loose nuke.” Prepare yourself for four years of being insulted by the Biden administration’s contempt for the forgotten men and women of America.
