Is Susan Rice Running the White House?

That is what President Trump’s former Ambassador to Germany and former Acting Director of National Intelligence is saying, and I think he is onto something.

Richard Grenell is in a position to know…..

 

If you are thinking it is Kamala Harris, give Grenell’s assertions some thought.

You may recall that Harris and Rice were both under consideration to join Joe on the ticket as Veep mainly because both are black women, and in the age of BLM, Joe was throwing a bone to an increasingly doubting black voter base.

The problem for Rice was that she is best known for her massive lying spree about what happened in Benghazi and no one on the Democrat team wanted that nightmare revisited.

Here is Grenell at Fox News:

Grenell calls Susan Rice the ‘shadow president’ and ‘no one is paying attention’

Richard Grenell, the former acting director of National Intelligence under President Trump, said in an interview with CPAC that he believes Susan Rice has assumed the role of a “shadow president.”

Rice, who served as national security adviser under President Obama, was tapped last December by President Biden to take charge of the White House Domestic Policy Council. It is in that role that Grenell believes she is exerting her influence.

Keep reading.

I don’t have time for even a cursory analysis of Rice’s history, but I wrote about her often over the years at RRW because it was she, Samantha Power and Hillary, the “Vulcans”, who were responsible for the destruction of Libya which in turn resulted in Libya becoming the major African launch pad for the illegal migrant invasion of Europe.

Daniel Greenfield writing at Frontpage in May of 2020 did a thorough job of describing Rice’s character and career.

How Susan Rice’s Role in the Rwandan Genocide Predicted Obamagate

A woman who can turn her back on genocide would hardly blink at spying on Republicans.

A woman capable of seeing the murder of hundreds of thousands of people [referring to her screw-up on the Clinton-era Rwandan Genocide.—ed] only in terms of an election campaign was a bridge too far even for a party of traitors and appeasers who still believed in something.

But Rice, an abrasive political operative and intellectual lightweight, understood that her only career path was a willingness to find a boss and do anything for him. No questions asked. That’s why Rice ended up as the point woman on Obamagate and why she went out to lie about Benghazi.

As Dowd wrote damningly, Rice had rented her soul, “on the talk shows one Sunday in September.” The New York Times columnist was referring to Rice’s tour of talk shows where she falsely claimed that the Benghazi attack had really been a protest in response to a YouTube video, and that it was spontaneous, rather than a planned attack, all of which contradicted the intelligence and local information.

Read it and keep it.

Just a reminder…

Here is the woman supposedly now, according to Grenell, running the White House because Joe, frankly, isn’t all there.

That is all I have time for, just wanted to put this on your radar screens to watch going forward.

P.S. Rice made some news in March when it was learned that she was “burning sage” in her White House office to purge the evil spirits supposedly left behind by Trump advisor Stephen Miller.  Prayers for America with ‘leaders’ like Rice.

Dear Joe, Make My Day! Please Pick Susan Rice for the Veep Job!

After all, you are pals and she has the cred!

And, it would be so much fun to write about her here at ‘Frauds and Crooks‘ because I followed her time in the Obama White House fairly closely at RRW and have a handy archive of juicy stories to draw upon.

Kamala ‘meh!’ same for Elizabeth Warren. Some of the other names being thrown around—‘meh’ too!

But, Rice, a worthy subject deserving of whatever can be thrown at her!  And, think about it, it will be the closest thing we could have to going after Obama himself!

From The Hill:

Susan Rice sees stock rise in Biden VP race

Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) are getting most of the buzz, but former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice is also getting a lot of attention in Joe Biden’s campaign as he considers who to pick as his running mate, sources say.

Rice, who also served as former President Obama’s national security adviser, has seen her stock rise amid a series of crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I know she’s very much in the mix,” a source close to the Biden campaign said.

One factor to watch is Biden’s relationship with Rice. The two worked closely in the Obama administration, and personal chemistry is an underrated factor in vice presidential decisions.

“I know they have a good relationship — perhaps the best relationship of anyone on the list,” the source close to the Biden campaign said. “They’ve known each other for years, they’ve worked alongside each other and she’s been tested in a way that a lot of folks on the list just haven’t been.”

Biden, who has committed to selecting a woman as his running mate, has said repeatedly that he is looking for someone who is “ready to be president on day one.”

 

 

Scary stuff!

“She’s a rock star who has the confidence, stature and gravitas to be vice president.”

[….]

Rice wouldn’t confirm or deny that she is “in talks with the Biden campaign” during an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow this week.

Rice on the ticket would surely bring out gal pal Samantha Power and that would be double fun for me.

Why didn’t anyone ever write a book about the women behind Obama—Susan Rice, Samantha Power and Valerie Jarrett—sure could come in handy now!
