It’s looking like Susan Rice had a CYA moment right before the inauguration of President Trump. She sent an email to herself? Yes, she did and it’s a doozy: “The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book”
“By the book”??? Sure! CYA Moment! It’s turning out that NOTHING has been by the book with this crowd. They are the definition of corrupt!
JUDGE NAPOLITANO:
.@Judgenap: "This is probably an effort by Susan Rice to reconstruct history to make Barack Obama appear as though he was ignorant of the fray fomented by his administration to undermine the incoming president." #TheStory https://t.co/CI32Z2V5Xk pic.twitter.com/cFe8xQeiof

Via Daily Caller:
Two Republican senators say they’ve uncovered an “unusual email” that Obama administration national security adviser Susan Rice sent to herself on the day of President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham say they find the email odd because of the timing and the substance of the message. They also noted that Rice suggested there was talk of withholding classified information from the incoming Trump administration.
Rice sent the email at 12:15 p.m. on Jan. 20, 2017, her final day in office. In the message, she memorialized a Jan. 5 Oval Office meeting she attended with President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.
Grassley and Graham laid out their concerns with the email in a letter sent to Rice last week.
“It strikes us as odd that, among your activities in the final moments on the final day of the Obama administration, you would feel the need to send yourself such an unusual email purporting to document a conversation involving President Obama and his interactions with the FBI regarding the Trump/Russia investigation,” they wrote.
In her email, Rice wrote to herself:
On January 5, following a briefing by [Intelligence Community] leadership on Russian hacking during the 2016 Presidential election, President Obama had a brief follow-on conversation with FBI Director Jim Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office. Vice President Biden and I were also present.
