Susan Rice Memo Channels Richard Nixon

On March 21, 1973 - exactly two months after he was inaugurated for a second term as president, Richard M. Nixon met, in the Oval Office, with his aides H.R. Haldeman and John Dean III to discuss how to buy the co-operation and silence of Watergate burglar Howard Hunt.

The same is probably true of Susan Rice's email, sent hours before she left office, recounting an Oval Office meeting with President Barack Obama on Jan. 5., two weeks before the end of his term.

The Rice email memorializes Obama's words at the meeting saying that he wanted any investigation of the Russia-Trump scandal to be conducted "By the book."

Her email notes that Obama stressed "His continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities 'by the book.' 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."

Do you think Susan Rice sent this memo in an attempt to protect herself?

We don't know why Rice waited two weeks after the Jan. 5 meeting to send her email.

Just as Nixon was paying off the burglars, so Obama's people were conducting the Russia investigation anything but "By the book."
