THE " GET ME OFF THE HOOK " Email
Susan 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.
The topic was the ongoing investigation into possible Trump
campaign collusion. According to press reports, Comey briefed
Obama that day on the unverified Steele dossier.
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.
