Susan Rice suggested in a new interview that racism and gender played a role in the scrutiny she’s faced amid the “unmasking” of President Donald J. Trump's associates.

Forgive me if I’m unable to work up a tear to squirt for a black woman as powerful as an ex-U.S. diplomat, Brookings Institution fellow, previous United States ambassador to the United Nations, and former National Security Advisor Susan Rice.

And married to the senior news editor at ABC. And I think he's white?

She just never got a fair shake.

Serve her with a Subpoena for a Committee Hearing. She'll take the 5th. Then its off to a Federal Grand Jury.

No need for any Independent Counsel to investigate/prosecute this leak. DoJ National Security Division can handle it (as long as no Obama appointees are in the chain of command).

Tough upbringing:

Rice was born in Washington, D.C., to Emmett J. Rice (1919–2011), Cornell University economics professor and governor of the Federal Reserve System,and education policy scholar Lois Fitt Dickson, who helped design the federal Pell Grant subsidy system and who joined the Brookings Institution in 1992.

Rice was a three-sport athlete, student council president, and valedictorian at National Cathedral School in Washington, D.C., a private girls' day school.

Politics is never acerbic. It can't possibly be anything other than race or gender.

Rice was a three-sport athlete, student council president, and valedictorian at National Cathedral School in Washington, D.C., a private girls' day school.

Rice said that her parents taught her to "never use race as an excuse or advantage" and as a young girl she "dreamed of becoming the first U.S. senator from the District of Columbia".[4] She also held "lingering fears" that her accomplishments would be diminished by people who attributed them to affirmative action since she is not white.[4] After her father's death in 2011, she said, "He believed segregation had constrained him from being all he could be. The psychological hangover of that took him decades to overcome. His most fervent wish was that we not have that psychological baggage."[9]

Rice attended Stanford University, where she received a Truman Scholarship and graduated with a BA in history in 1986. She earned membership in Phi Beta Kappa.[10][11]

Awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, Rice attended New College, Oxford, where she earned an MPhil in 1988 and a DPhil in 1990. The Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, honored her dissertation entitled Commonwealth Initiative in Zimbabwe, 1979–1980: Implication for International Peacekeeping as the UK's most distinguished in international relations.[4][12]

Rice was a foreign policy aide to Michael Dukakis during the 1988 presidential election. She was a management consultant at McKinsey & Company, a global management consulting firm, from mid-1990, when she received her degree from Oxford, to early 1992, when she worked for the Clinton campaign.[13] Rice worked in McKinsey's Toronto office for a time.[14]

A lot of kids don't survive Stanford. The canapés.

I'm going to use that as my sig. Well done.
