As Donald John Trump was being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, Susan Rice was cleaning out her desk. She was Barack Obama's last National Security Advisor. Her replacement would be former Lt. General, Michael Flynn. He was an old hand at intelligence and national security with over 30 years of military service. Plus, Flynn had served as Obama's Director of National Intelligence, DNI, for a time. Flynn was fired by Obama from the DNI job after Flynn disagreed publicly with his boss. Obama tried to paint the picture that after Usama bin Laden was killed, Al Qaeda and other radical, Islamic terrorist groups were no longer a problem. Flynn disagreed and even began warning Obama about the rise of a new group, often called ISIS or ISIL, operating in Iraq and Syria. So, Susan Rice was emptying her desk to make way for Flynn, when she sent herself a rather peculiar email.
