This is poorly written. A lot of editing needed to make it acceptable.
>They were powerful, does not mean they were just
Sentence is ungrammatical. Fix.
On America on January 5, 2017, five powerful people met in the Oval Office of the White House; that they were powerful does not mean they were just.
Or your own choice of how to fix it. I posted one possible way to improve the grammar.
Ungrammatical:
>Comey, Yates, Biden, Obama, and Rice meeting was recalled by Rice in an email sent to herself on January 20, 2017.
That meeting of Comey, Yates, Biden, Obama, and Rice was memorialized by Rice in an email sent to herself on January 20, 2017.
Why the repetition?
>"President Obama asked if Comey was saying that the NSC (National Security Council) should not pass sensitive information related to Russsia to Flynn," Rice typed in her email. Obama asked Comey if he thought the NSC should not pass Russian-related information to Flynn. Comey replied "potentially".
According to Rice's email, "President Obama asked if Comey was saying that the NSC (National Security Council) should not pass sensitive information related to Russsia to Flynn." ~~Rice typed in her email. Obama asked Comey if he thought the NSC should not pass Russian-related information to Flynn.~~ Comey replied "potentially".
Remove more repetition:
> The sentence, "President Obama asked if Comey was saying that the NSC (National Security Council) should not pass sensitive information related to Russsia to Flynn," SHOWS much. "Preisdent Obama asked… ," indicates that President Obama knew of FBI's interest in Flynn's talk with the Russian Ambassader before the DOJ knew. This could mean Obama directed the spying of Flynn, since Obama knew before the DOJ.
~~The sentence, "President Obama asked if Comey was saying that the NSC (National Security Council) should not pass sensitive information related to Russsia to Flynn," SHOWS much.~~
Unpacking the sentence reported by Rice reveals much. It demonstrates
~~"Preisdent Obama asked… ," indicates~~ that President Obama knew of the FBI's interest in Flynn's talk with the Russian ~~Ambassader~~ Ambassador before the ~~DOJ~~ Department of Justice (the organization that manages the FBI) knew. This ~~could mean~~ suggests that Obama directed the spying ~~of~~ on Flynn, since Obama knew before the DOJ.
Do I have to drop meme fagging duties to editor?
Sigh.
