This is a topic I've thought of creating for a very long time.

The examples of corruption and violations of legal procedure and protocol in the very forming of the Mueller investigation are abundant and audaciously brazen.


In the beginning... there was James Comey. Through fraudulent means, Comey manipulated to create a call for a special investigation by leaking information through a college professor friend (and sometimes subordinate FBI contract employee) to leak documents for Comey, and create pseudo-spontaneous demand for a special investigation of Trump.

https://dailycaller.com/2019/03/21/jim-comey-memos-mueller/

 Quote:
James Comey claimed in an op-ed Thursday that he does not care one way or the other whether special counsel Robert Mueller finds evidence that President Donald Trump conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 election or obstructed the FBI’s collusion probe.

But the claim, which Comey made in The New York Times, is at odds with the former FBI director’s testimony about his actions shortly after being fired by Trump in May 2017.

Comey testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee that he leaked memos he wrote after conversations with Trump in order to force the appointment of a special counsel.

"I asked a friend of mine to share the content of a memo with the reporter, I didn't do it myself for a variety of reasons, but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel," Comey testified June 8, 2017.

Comey instructed his friend, Daniel Richman, to give the [New York] Times a memo he wrote about a conversation he had with Trump on February 14, 2017. Comey claimed Trump asked him to shut down an investigation of former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

Comey's ploy worked, as Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel May 17, 2017.



So from the very outset the special investigation was born in deception.

Next is Rod Rosenstein's oversight of the investigation.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself for reasons I still don't understand, almost immediately after becoming AG, ultimately to avoid any appearance of bias in the investigation. Apparently because Sessions was introduced (by a Democrat) and shook hands with the Russian ambassador for maybe 60 seconds and didn't disclose that meeting when asked at his confirmation hearing.
Acting in Sessions' place, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein then appointed Robert Mueller to lead the special investigation.

First off, Rosenstein has far more conflict of interest than Sessions. Rosenstein, Mueller, and Comey are all friends and have worked together for over 20 years, and have acted as each other's wingmen. That alone should have recused Rosenstein from participating in the investigation, let alone appointing Mueller, a close personal friend.

Second, Rosenstein is one of the officials who signed off on at least one of the four illegal FISA warrants to spy on Carter Page (and through Page, the entire circle of his phone and e-mail communications within the Trump campaign, surveillance of conversations with everyone he communicated with). Submitting knowingly false evidence (the Russia Dosser as "verified") to a federal judge is a prosecutable federal crime. So Rosenstein is ultimately participating in an investigation of a case in which he will ultimately be a defendant. Rosenstein is at once supervising the investigation, a witness to what occurred in the FBI's investigation, and a potential defendant in the investigation.


Already, we have corruption and conflict of interest up the yingyang.

Rosenstein only recently ceased to control the investigation, ending with the appointment of Willam Barr as the new attorney general in Feb 2019.
And Rosenstein finally resigned and finished his last day as Deputy Attorney General of the DOJ just about two weeks ago, on May 11, 2019.

Next is the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel of the investigation.

1. Mueller again is part of the inner circle of friends within the FBI who protect each other.

2. and THE SAME DAY Mueller interviewed with President Trump and was rejected for the FBI director position from which Comey (Mueller's friend again) was just fired, Rosenstein appointed Mueller to lead the special investigation. Both being an ally of Comey, and being rejected by Trump for the FBI director position are AT LEAST two reasons Mueller had to be hostile towar Trump in the investigation. More conflict of interest.

3. Further undermining Mueller's credibility is that he was previously FBI director for President George W. Bush, and expanding on exiting FBI director Tenet who infamously assured Bush that the Iraq invasion would be a "slam dunk", Mueller similarly continued the negligence and corruption that preceded his term as director. Plus many other corrupt and questionable actions throughout his career.
https://consortiumnews.com/2019/05/29/russia-gates-mythical-heroes/
Democrats hated and vilified Mueller for years over this. But now that he's a weapon to attack a Republican, President Trump, he suddenly has 100% spotless credibility again.

4. Mueller also has a past case involving Russia where he gained ccoperation of a Russian oligarch that opens up another conflict of interest.
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/...ussian-oligarch


5. There's also the stained credibility of Mueller's previous convictions for 2 decades in the FBI along with Andrew Weissmann, in multiple cases such as prosecution of Enron and Arthur Andersen executives, where Mueller and Weissmann deliberately witheld exculpatory evidence and deliberately imprisoned innocent men, and (a familiar pattern to any follower of the Mueller special investigation) partially convicted them using perjury traps. Convictions which were, by the way, overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court by a 9-0 vote. Two of the men died in prison before their convictions were overturned. These are the prosecutors trusted to depose President Trump under oath.

That's not even getting into the Democrat-partisan bias of these officials.

It's an easy trick to register as a Republican and yet consistently vote Democrat. In the case of news reporters, they similarly front, "Oh hey, I don't have liberal bias, I'm a registered Republican!"
But as in the last election, many reporters front to be Independent or Republican, but an investigation of how they actually voted, or who they donated to, 96% of reporter donations went to the Hillary Clinton campaign.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/what-...hillary-clinton

James Comey (after his firing as FBI director) in a 60 Minutes interview admitted that his wife and all his children all voted for Hillary Clinton, and were "deeply invested" in her winning. Asked if he was a Democrat, he responded "if not before, certainly now."

Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe likewise demonstrated a Democrat loyalty. McCabe's wife, Jill McCabe ran for office and received $675,000 for her campaaign from Hillary Clinton operative terry MacAuliffe.
https://www.newsweek.com/fbi-acting-director-andrew-mccabe-wife-hillary-clinton-641676

Further, the protection of Andrew McCabe from firing indicates further Democrat influence within the FBI, by another Comey/Mueller/McCabe wingman, newly appointed FBI director Christopher Wray:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_McCabe

 Quote:
POLITICAL PRESSURE

Starting in July 2017, Trump repeatedly attacked McCabe in Twitter comments, suggesting that Sessions should dismiss McCabe, accusing him of conflicts because of his wife's campaign for state office, and taunting him about "racing the clock" until his retirement.[36][37] In January 2018 it was reported that Attorney General Sessions had been pressuring FBI Director Wray to fire McCabe. However, Wray refused and reportedly threatened to resign if McCabe was removed.[38][39]

The Nunes memo, which alleges improper activities in seeking a warrant to surveil former Trump associate Carter Page, asserts that McCabe "testified before the [House Intelligence] Committee in December 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISC without the Steele dossier," a document many Trump supporters insist is completely false. However, McCabe's testimony was in classified session and no public transcript is available to confirm the Nunes memo assertion; disclosing contents of the classified testimony would be unlawful. Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said the Nunes memo "seriously mischaracterizes the testimony of Deputy Director Andrew McCabe."[40] The Nunes memo also asserts that a text message from Peter Strzok discusses "a meeting with Deputy Director McCabe to discuss an "insurance" policy against President Trump's election." However, The Wall Street Journal reported on December 18, 2017, that Strzok associates said the "insurance policy" meant the FBI continuing its investigation into possible collusion between Trump and Russians, in case Trump won the election.


And of course James Baker, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and other blatantly Democrat partisan social justice warriors stacking the deck within the FBI's highest positions.

At the center of the Mueller investigation is the Christopher Steele "Russia Dossier" that was used to initiate the Trump/Russia FBI and DOJ investigation.

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/...ts-were-flagged

Steele was fired by the FBI, and considered unreliable and partisan. In the last week, it has come to light that British MI-6 intelligence also considers Steele unreliable, and in the post-2016 election transition period, MI-6 sent a letter to both the Obama administration and to the Trump transition team that Steele was unreliable.

But despite that, Steele's "Russia Dossier" was peddled within the FBI and DOJ as fact, and by all appearances was the sole documented evidence used to file FISA surveillance warrants to spy on Carter Page and other Trump officials. (100% of the "evidence", except for two partisan-written articles, both also sourced from the Russia Dossier itself)
Despite that Comey told Trump privately on Jan 6, 2017 the Russia Dossier is "salacious" and "unreliable", it had been used in recent months as false evidence to submit *four* FISA surveillance warrants on Carter Page, despite that they knew with the very first warrant the Russia Dossier evidence was false.

I'm still wondering where the FISA judges are, who should be expressing outrage that they were deceived with false evidence, and should be demanding all that fruit of the poisoned tree be thrown out of court, and any resulting convictions overturned. The longer these judges remain silent, the more convinced I am that they are also Clinton deep state agents helping to break the law.
We already know from Strzok and Page's text messages that Strzok is a friend of one FISA judge Rudolf Contreras, and that they plotted to meet Contreras ex parte at a meeting hidden inside a dinner party social event, to illegally transact their agenda secretly.

That the Mueller report barely mentions:
* Christopher Steele and the Russia Dossier,
* That the Clinton campaign and DNC commissioned and funded the Russia Dossier
* that the Russia Dossier information came directly from Russian state agents paid by the Clinton campaign,
* How Nellie Ohr and Bruce Ohr funneled this "salacious/unreliable" document into the FBI and DOJ through backchannels despite its being discredited used it as the basis for FISA warrants, and
* everyone at the top of FBI/DOJ knew Steele had been fired, and
* even Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016 had warned DOJ and FBI in a letter that Steele was an unreliaable partisan, a letter apparently buried by these deep staters in FBI and DOJ.

...that the Mueller report selectively omits all these facts further shatters the credibility of its findings.

As I pointed out before elsewhere, the Mueller special investigation is made up completely of Democrats. 16 lawyers, all Democrats, and 0 Republicans.

And beyond that 11 of the 16 are Democrat campaign donors, several in the thousands of dollars, one in the tens of thousands.
And Jeannie Rhee among those lawyers

EXCLUSIVE: NOT A SINGLE LAWYER KNOWN TO WORK FOR MUELLER IS A REPUBLICAN (Daily Caller)


Lesser-known Democrat 2020 presidential candidate John Delaney today (objecting to campaign donations as a criteria in selecting televised primary debate eligibility) said that only 10% of Americans donate to political campaigns, and that making that a criteria excludes candidates represeentative of the 90% who don't.
That argument could also be used for the selection of lawyers for the Mueller investigation.

It's obscenely partisan, and for all the wailing from Rep. Jerry Nadler and Rep. Adam Schiff about the slightest whiff of conflict of interest by Jeff Sessions or William Barr, they never acknowledge the overwhelming bias and conflict of interest among Mueller, Andrew Weissmann, and their DNC-donating Democrat attorneys.

And if there were anything to find prosecutable about Trump, they would have found it. All the more amazing, for how the cards have been politically stacked against him.

Here's another Daily Caller article from two weeks earlier, focusing on the bias of Aaron Zelinsky in particular, one of Mueller's 16 partisan lawyers.

MUELLER HIRED YET ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC DONOR, THIS ONE'S A FORMER HUFFPOST CONTRIBUTOR


Another well-known partisan lawyer among the 16 is Jeannie Rhee, who was hired directly from the Clinton Foundation. For years she is the Clinton Foundation lawyer who suppresses FOIA requests for Clinton records, and one day after she's hired as a prosecutor and seriously expected to obtain and investigate those records?

Giuliani calls for Mueller to be investigated for destruction of FBI evidence


 Quote:
By John Solomon



Rudy Giuliani has an unmistakable New Year’s message for special counsel Robert Mueller: It is time for the chief investigator in the Russia case to be investigated in 2019.
In wide-ranging interviews with Hill.TV’s Buck Sexton and me on Wednesday and Thursday, President Trump’s defense lawyer pointedly accused Mueller’s office of destroying evidence by allowing text messages from now-fired FBI official Peter Strzok and his FBI lover, Lisa Page, to be erased in the Russia probe.

“Mueller should be investigated for destruction of evidence for allowing those text messages from Strzok to be erased, messages that would show the state of mind and tactics of his lead anti-Trump FBI agent at the start of his probe,” Giuliani said.
The Justice Department inspector general (IG) reported this month that it found large gaps in the preservation of official government text messages between Strzok and Page, the two top FBI agents who helped to start the Russia probe in 2016, who were having an affair at the time, and who expressed disdain for Trump.

The report said a technical glitch was to blame for the FBI’s failure to save those text messages, but the IG was able to recover more than 19,000 from the early part of the Russia probe before Mueller was named special prosecutor.
However, the IG said it was unable to recover messages from the time Strzok and Page worked for Mueller’s office in spring and summer 2017 because the memories of both FBI officials’ government phones were wiped clean by technicians.

That erasure occurred after Strzok and Page left Mueller’s team over revelations they exchanged anti-Trump text messages, including one string in which they talked about stopping Trump from becoming president.
“That should be investigated, damn it, that should be investigated fully. You want a special counsel, get one for that,” Giuliani said.

When pressed about whether he thought the erasure was intentional and not just a mistake, Giuliani alluded to the infamous erasure of a Watergate tape by President Nixon’s loyal secretary a half-century earlier.
“It’s actually worse than Rose Mary Woods,” he explained. “She erased less than 19 minutes of conversation, but the FBI got rid of more than 19,000 messages," and the messages from the time Strzok and Page worked for Mueller are lost forever.

Giuliani said the Russia probe investigators also should be investigated for using the Christopher Steele dossier, which he called a “piece of garbage,” to justify a search warrant on a Trump adviser without telling the court it was paid for by 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic Party.
“Do I think that is improper? Yeah, that borders on — that sounds to me a lot more like a false statement than some of the ones they charged,” he said, referring to Mueller’s team.

The former New York City mayor and Republican presidential candidate, who joined Trump’s defense team in 2018, sharply criticized Mueller’s team for allowing what he said were false statements by former Trump attorney Michael Cohen at Cohen’s sentencing a few weeks ago.
“He just lied the other day. He told the judge, ‘I was fiercely loyal to Donald Trump.’ No, he wasn’t. He taped him surreptitiously while he was fiercely loyal. He hid it. And he disclosed it.”

The Mueller prosecutors’ failure to stand up during the sentencing and correct Cohen’s statement “is unethical in and of itself. Making a false statement to a court, even a lawyer, you have to correct it,” Giuliani said.
Giuliani said he is disturbed that the one Cohen tape that has surfaced — in which Cohen and Trump discussed making payments to two women accusers during the 2016 campaign — inexplicably cuts off midway through the conversation.

Giuliani said he believes the missing sections of the conversation include “exculpatory” statements that would prove the president was innocent.
Giuliani expressed hope that the Mueller investigation would end soon, now that Trump has submitted written answers to prosecutors’ questions. He remains confident there is no evidence the president colluded with Russia to hijack the 2016 presidential election.

Giuliani said that, if prosecutors requested additional written answers from Trump, his advice would be for the president not to provide more information to Mueller: “They have everything they need unless they just want to set a perjury trap.”
He said Mueller’s current focus on whether Trump friends such as Roger Stone were communicating with WikiLeaks outside the campaign about hacked Hillary Clinton emails shows just how far astray the probe had gone.

“We’re now four degrees of separation from the original mandate of the investigation, which was collusion which did not occur,” he noted.
When asked whether Mueller should be the last special prosecutor ever appointed by the Justice Department, Giuliani hedged: “I never like to say never, but I must say I have great pause after seeing the abuses in this investigation.”

The FBI, he added, still needs to rehabilitate itself from the damage done by missteps in the Russia probe. Giuliani said he believed that “99 percent of the FBI agents” were doing a great job but that a small group of “FBI politicians” had improperly hijacked the Russia probe during fired Director James Comey’s tenure.
Giuliani said he is uncertain if President Trump’s pick to head the FBI, Director Christopher Wray, could help right the wrongs from the Russia probe. “I’m uncertain because I haven’t heard anything from him. ... The first way you fix problems is by acknowledging them.”

As for Mueller, Giuliani made clear he intends to fight back on every remaining move the special prosecutor makes. The Trump defense team already has drafted a robust document to counter any information Mueller sends to the Justice Department in his final report.
And there’s nothing the defense team is leaving without rebuttal, apparently.

For example, Giuliani said it is ironic that, after investigating Trump for possible obstruction because Trump once suggested the FBI consider going easy on former national security adviser Michael Flynn, Mueller himself asked a federal judge to go easy on Flynn by awarding no prison time.
“Maybe Mueller needs to investigate himself for obstruction on Flynn like he did my client,” the former mayor said wryly.

He was joking on that one. But don't expect any laughs on the disappearance of the Strzok text messages or Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses. On those issues, "America’s mayor" is all business.

It was revealed today that Mueller and Weissmann failed to disclose exculpatory evidence that would have proven the innocence of Pappadapoulos and Michael Flynn. And that Mueller had conversations with Bruce Ohr (DOJ) in mid 2016 that indicate Mueller knew very early on, even at the time the Trump special investigation began, that (as Peter Strzok said in his text messages) that all involved in the investigation knew "There's no 'there' there."

Indicating the true purpose of the investigation was not lawful from the outset, and only a pseudo-legal conspiracy to destroy Trump's presidency.

PAGE AND STRZOK TEXT: "POTUS WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING WE ARE DOING", PREPARING COMEY REPORT FOR OBAMA, IN SEPT 2016

 Quote:
Lisa Page, the FBI official accused of harboring an anti-Trump bias, sent a text message in September 2016 saying that then-President Obama wanted "to know everything" about the FBI's probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.

The text message exchange with Peter Strzok, another FBI official with whom she was having an affair, contains a message from Page about preparing talking points for then-FBI Director James Comey to give to Obama.

The exchange, in which Strzok wrote that Obama "wants to know everything we’re doing," was included in a report released Tuesday by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Republican staff on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Fox News first reported on the exchange on Wednesday.

That report states that the text message exchange raises questions about Obama's personal involvement in the investigation into Clinton's email use. Republican lawmakers have raised concerns about the Obama administration's handling of that probe.

"Although sometimes cryptic and disjointed due to their nature, these text messages raise several questions about the FBI and its investigation of classified information on Secretary Clinton’s private email server," the report says.

What exactly Obama wanted to know about the investigation — if anything — is unclear.

President Trump quickly seized on the report.
“NEW FBI TEXTS ARE BOMBSHELLS!” he tweeted.

Page and Strzok have come under fire in recent months after the discovery of text messages between the two that showed them criticizing President Trump and Republicans, more broadly.

Republicans have pointed to the text messages as evidence of bias among federal law enforcement officials.

Both Page and Strzok briefly worked on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, though Page's detail on the team ended before the messages were discovered. Strzok was removed from the investigation after the Justice Department became aware of the texts.

The report by Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Republicans came days after Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released a controversial memo accusing the FBI and Justice Department of misusing their authority to obtain a secret surveillance order against Carter Page, a former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign.

That memo has been the subject of controversy, with Democrats arguing that it omits key facts that are necessary to put the information in the proper context.

The Intelligence panel voted on Monday to release a Democratic memo rebutting the Republican document. Trump must now decide whether to OK the Democratic rebuttal for release.



It's pretty hard to argue:
1) There was not a conspiracy of rabidly anti-Trump partisans in FBI, DOJ, CIA, DNI, the State Dept, collaborating directly with the Obama White House and with Obama himself.
and
2) That there wasn't deep state/Democrat conspiracy to protect Hillary from prosecution, to get her elected president, to discredit Trump and prevent his election, and as a fallback plan "insurance policy", to cripple, smear and unseat an elected president Trump.

Deliciously, that plan by corrupt Democrats failed at multiple stages.



  • from Do Racists have lower IQ's...

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.

TRUMP SAYS GREATEST REGRET OF HIS PRESIDENCY WAS APPOINTING JEFF SESSIONS


Trump said this a few months ago now, but that is what stalled investigation of the Russia Hoax, and allowed Rod Rosenstein, in Sessions' recusal, to appoint a special investigation headed by Mueller (and we now know that Mueller was incompetent, and the real leader of the Mueller Investigation was Andrew Weissmann.)

All the aggravation that could have been avoided, and enebling of Trump's deep state enemies, if Sessions had never been appointed.

EXCLUSIVE:
Dossier Author Christopher Steele Had Previously Undisclosed Meetings With Lawyers For DNC, Clinton Campaign



Just the latest tonnage, stacked on the mountain of illegitimacy of the Mueller and other investigations, conducted only to falsely de-legitimize and destroy Trump.

Every time something like this is stacked on, one has to ask:

1) With all this exculpatory evidence, why was there ever an investigation of Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, George Pappadapoulos, Michael Caputo, Carter Page, and so many others?

2) With all the evidence that clearly leads back to the Hillary Clinton campaign, the Obama administration, the DNC, and FBI and DOJ abusers of power who faked the evidence and filed warrants based on false evidence, like James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Nellie Ohr, why are THESE people not being indicted and bankrupted by investigations, under all the weight of the FBI and DOJ?

3) With all the clearly falsified evidence, why are the previous FISA warrants and the evidence from them not thrown out, and the cases shaken down to get plea bargains not thrown out? I think clearly, because the judges were and are part of the fix. Like FISA court judge Rudolf Contreras, and Lisa Page's text to Peter Strzok, to arrange an illegaal ex-parte meeting with the judge at a dinner party to mask their illlegal meeting with the judge without opposing counsel. I'd lay money these FISA judges are Hillary Clinton voters and partisans.


With the current revelation, along with many other stonewalled releases of e-mails between Strzok and Page, the contents of Anthony Weiner's seized laptop computer filled top secret information the Clinton campaign did not keep classified (for which any Republican or military soldier or lesser diplomat would spend years in jail!)

The double standard is just obscene.

FBI director Christopher Wray is not interested in justice, he is only interested in preventing further embarassment of the FBI. And toward that end, he is not cooperating, and stonewalling release of documents to House and Senate investigators, and to private investigators like Judicial Watch. They are currently using the Coronavirus crissis as an excuse to cease release of any further documents till further notice. Despite that they're in the office sending e-mails every day to say they won't release them.
Trump should have fired Wray 2 years ago. He is part of Comey and McCabe's golf club.

Watters World, 5-2-2020, Saturday



In the opening minutes, Watters gives a clear timeline of events, how Gen. Michael Flynn was not a participant in Obama's politicization of the DNI (Clapper), the CIA (Brennan), and FBI Comey and McCabe, and Strzok and Lisa Page), and therefore they conspired to set a perjury trap, to stop Flynn as incoming National Security Advisor for Trump from dismantling the corrupt system these officials had created. They set traps to ensnare and imprison Flynn, despite that Flynn had done nothing wrong.
Likewise Paul Manafort, George Pappadapoulos, Roger Stone, Jerome Corsi, K.T. McFarlane, Michael Caputo and others. In each case, they bankrupted these Trump officials with legal fees, tried to make them falsely testify against Trump, used manufactured perjury traps and "process crimes", because they had no actual crimes these people were guilty of.

I'm glad to see increasing calls for the removal of Christopher Wray as FBI director. Wray is part of the Comey/McCabe/Mueller/Brennan/Clapper cabal, has stonewalled on release of documents, to keep aalive and enable this deep state assault on our elected government.

I would also like to see further public exposure and pressure on the trial judges and FISA court judges, who have enable obscene twistings of due process and let stand clearly falsified evidence and illegal FISA requests.
Particularly obscene is the trial, partisan judge, and jury corruption in the Roger Stone case. Only Roger Stone and Michal Flynn remain in jail.
Michael Cohen and Michael Avenatti (Democrat allies) have both been set free on the pretense of the Covid-19 threat. And only those loyal to Trump remain in jail. Hey, how about that!

It's quite clear the deep state lives on and helps its friends, even behind bars.
God forbid we see justice where the truly guilty conspirators get punished, and their victims are set free and vindicated. Even those not convicted like Jerome Corsi, Michael Caputo and K.T. McFarlane have been bankrupted with legal fees, have FBI agents still hassling their clients and preventing them from regaining their former business. Punished without evidence for just being allies of Trump. It's Orwellian.

Do you think it’s in the national interest for folks like Flynn to hide and even lie repeatedly about their foreign interests and lobbying efforts?

Flynn didn't "lie" the lie was a manufactured perjury trap, created by the FBI!
The alleged "violation" was the Logan Act, passed into law and virtually unused since 1802 !

That the Democrat-partisan criminals in the FBI contrived this as a way to indict Gen. Flynn only underscores what an illegitimate stretch it was to indict him. I believe you fully understand that, but misrepresent the facts to create an illusion of criminality to rationalize a pseudo-legitimate narrative for what happened to Flynn. There were violations of FBI procedure 9as cited by FBI inspector general Horowitz) at every turn of the FBI investigation and prosecution of Flynn. It was a Soviet-style investigation, of wanting to target someone and then manufacturing the crime, in order to jail a politically targeted man. As made clear in the Jesse Watters editorial (that you clearly didn't watch) Flynn was targeted by Clapper, Comey, McCabe and Brennan because Flynn planned to eliminate the corruption in those FBI, CIA and DNI agencies that had been politicized by Obama. Only a Democrat Bolshevik could not be disturbed by that, and by what was unleashed on Flynn unlawfully, that clearly manifests that inter-agency corruption.

The Logan Act is to prosecute a private citizen for conducting foreign policy without the authorization of the United States. In Flynn's case, he was already appointed the national security advisor, and all his communications were in the process of his transitional government establishing relations with his counterparts in other foreign states, as a part of his job!
Specifically, two FBI agents were sent by then-FBI director James Comey to interview Flynn in the White House. No consent from the White House, no disclossure to Flynn that he was under investigation. Flynn specifically asked if he needed an attorney, and the FBI tricked him and said no.
In a similar interview, Hillary Clinton had an army of attorneys to protect her. In the Hillary Clinton interview (against FBI procedure) the FBI interview of her was not recorded, so as to spare her from any possible perjury indictment later.
In the same situation with Flynn, he was tricked into not having counsel, and every word was recorded, FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE of indicting him in a perjury trap, despite that even the agents who interviewed Flynn said they thought he was not attempting to hide anything or deceive them. Rank-and-file FBI agents found no evidence and were going to close the case, until Peter Strzok specifically instructed them to leave the case open despite the lack of evidence, because "the 7th floor is handling it" [FBI executive floor, top management], who manufactured a false case against Flynn. The abuses against Flynn by FBI are so visible that I would think the trial judge and the FBI would want to throw out the case, just to get their own misconduct out of the public spotlight.


FBI similarly selectively targeted Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Jerome Cosi, George Pappadapoulos, Michael Cohen and others. And previously over the last 20 years or so, Senater Ted Stevens of Alaska (exonerated AFTER he had lost his election to a Democrat, Scooter Libby (who DIDN'T expose Valerie Plame, it was Richard Armitage who later admitted he unknowingly did so, who was never prosecuted), plus executives of Enron and Arthur Anderson, some of whom died in jail before the U.S. Supreme court exonerated them in an overwhelming 9-0 decision and set them free.
The common denominator in all those abusive convictions were Robert Mueller, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Andrew Weissmannn, Fitzpatrick, and other infamous FBI prosecutors, who consistently used these tactics for decades, and then used the same tactics on Trump officials, piled on excessive charges to leverage a plea bargain despite the innocence of those entrapped. And forced them to give fake depositions to convict others, bankrupted defendants to force them to accept plea bargains, despite their later PROVEN innocence and release. No thanks to these sociopathic criminals in the FBI.

Chris Wallace: Don’t lie if you’re talking to the FBI

 Quote:
"Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace said Friday he was surprised to see people "rallying" behind ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn, arguing the former Trump administration official should not have lied to the FBI.

Wallace, who was speaking on Fox News, said Flynn erred in speaking to the FBI voluntarily shortly after President Trump was elected.

"Did the FBI play hardball? Yeah. Guess what? The FBI plays hardball. And guess what? If you are talking to the FBI — and a lot of lawyers would say don’t talk to them unless you have to — don’t lie," he said.


Wallace's comments came a day after Trump told reporters Thursday that Flynn has been “essentially exonerated” by new documents unsealed in the criminal case against the former aide.

“He's in the process of being exonerated. If you look at those notes from yesterday, that was total exoneration,” Trump said. “These were dirty, filthy cops at the top of the FBI.”

Wallace said he was also surprised that Trump suggested Flynn might return to the administration.

"I was kind of surprised that the president said yesterday, 'Well, maybe I’ll bring him back to the White House.' It was the president, before any legal case was brought, who fired Flynn because Flynn had lied about his conversation with the Russian ambassador to the vice president, Mike Pence," Wallace said.

...


It’s not even up for debate that Flynn lied. Trump had even fired him for lying.

First off, that's Chris Wallace's opinion on the subject.

Second, Wallace as I've said prior, is a clearly left-of-center journalist, and uses a lot of selective omission in that stated opinion. Such as the clearly deceptive tactics of the FBI in their interview of Flynn. Where they are required to clear such an interview with the White House, and did not. Where Flynn should have had a lawyer present, and trusting an untrustworthy FBI, was depived of counsel (as compared with Hillary Clinton, who had an army of lawyers to defend her during a similar questioning, where questioning ws not even recorded to avoid any possibility to prosecute Hillary for perjury, that FBI protocol requires to be recorded. And in Flynn's case, was recorded for precisely that premeditated purpose, in a perjury trap.)
Where one of the two FBI agents interviewing Flynn was Peter Strzok, who is a clear partisan and fanatic advocate against Trump and for Hillary Clinton, in dozens, if not hundreds, of his own self-incriminating e-mails and text messages. In the most recent exposed (thank you Judicial Watch!) messages with the Flynn investigators, Strzok pressured agents to keep the case open, despite that even after the White House interview of Flynn THE AGENTS SAW NO EVIDENCE TO WARRANT KEEPING THE CASE OPEN. But for partisan conspiratorial reasons, Strzok kept it open, to weaponize against Flynn and Trump.

Third, Trump fired Flynn based on the evidence at the time, in early 2017. That evidence has been disproven and shown to not warrant the ivestigation, as has resulted in a criminal investigation of the FBI investigators themselves. It's safe to say, if Trump knew then (Jan-Feb 2017) what he knows now, he would have stood by Flynn and not let him go. Presumably, as in any political firing, it is to let the person go through the legal process and clear their name, so as not to be a liability to the administration while under investigation/prosecution. Once vindicated, they are certainly able to return when that occurs. As appears to be the case with Flynn.
AGAIN: There are no actual crimes Flynn is guilty of, only manufactured "process crimes", manufactured perjury. As is the case with every Trump official put under a microscope by the FBI and Mueller special investigation.

Even the "lie" that Flynn allegedly told Vice President Pence was only an omission, that even Pence says he no longer sees Flynn's responses as a "lie", as FBI investigators advised Pence they were in 2017.

 Quote:
“I think Gen. Michael Flynn is a patriotic American who served with great distinction in the armed forces,” Pence told reporters. “I’m deeply troubled by the revelations of what appears to have been investigative abuse by officials in the Justice Department and we are going to continue to look into that very carefully.”

Asked if Flynn was appropriately fired, Pence didn’t answer directly but said: “I know what Gen. Flynn told me and I’m more inclined to believe it was unintentional than ever before.”



The FBI's integrity has been put into question.
Flynn has been vindicated. There's a difference between withholding top secret and confidential information to as few unnecessary people as possible, and "lying".

Would that you held the treasonous sacks of shit on your own side to the same standard, M E M. To name just a few who should be criminally indicted for far worse:

Hillary Clinton.
Huma Abedin.
Susan Rice.
Jay Carney.
Barack Obama.
Joseph Biden.
Anthony Weiner (what ever happend to that computer full of top secret Hillary Clinton e-mails, way beyond his sex with minors?)
Sally Yates
Samantha Powers
Loretta Lynch
Eric Holder

And also including virtually everyone investigating Trump at the FBI and DOJ, many of whom have either been fired for misconduct, or resigned in advance of being fired for same. Many of whom I hope will be indicted and bankrupted when Barr and Durham indict them, as these rogue FBI agents bankrupted innocent people just to politically damage Trump, and attempted to suborn perjured testimony from them against Trump, in exchange for lightened charges that never should have been threatened against them in the first place.

M E M, you cling to the appearance of pseudo-legality of these disgraced FBI investigators, despite the already high stack of evidence of their misconduct. What you endorse is a Soviet-style investigation, where they target the man and manufacture the crime after-the-fact, to eliminate a political opponent. And the further evidence of that continues to pile up every day, in spite of your corrupt party's attempts to fly cover for and protect that corruption.

Flynn has been exonerated, except in the eyes of a Chris Wallace who selectively omits a lot of context that vindicates Flynn.




  • from Do Racists have lower IQ's...

Well if we want to talk about bias doesn’t that apply to everyone that thinks Flynn is somehow a victim instead of a proven liar? And lying to the fbi is a crime. That isn’t an opinion. Nor do I see how it’s in our nation’s interests for folks like Flynn to lie about their lobbying efforts for other countries when they are serving in the WH. He’s not a good guy nor an honest one. Sad to see him become a hero for so many.

And I don’t see Wallace as being left of center. I remember him covering the 2012 conventions and at the end he gushed about Romney while with Obama he talked about there being so many questions. While I see him right of center he does ask tough questions of whoever he’s interviewing. Lying to the FBI doesn’t become okay because a republican did it.

I just cited where Wallace misrepresented the facts, and selectively omitted the context of proven corrupt FBI agents putting into doubt the "evidence" against Michael Flynn.

On multiple occasions, I've lost respect for Wallace as someone who over-represents the facts against Trump, even when those facts have been disproven.

IN LETTER TO FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY, REP. JIM JORDAN DEMANDS WRAY ANSWER FOR FBI 'TARGETING' MICHAEL FLYNN

 Quote:
The top Republican on the House Oversight Committee demanded answers from FBI Director Christopher Wray about the bureau’s handling of its case against retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn as part of the Russia investigation.
Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, a staunch defender of President Trump, sent a letter Monday with Mike Johnson of Louisiana, the top Republican on the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, to [FBI director] Wray, who took over the bureau after James Comey was fired in 2017.
“We write to request that you immediately review the actions of the FBI in targeting LTG Flynn,” the congressmen said. “The American people continue to learn troubling details about the politicization and misconduct at the highest levels of the FBI during the Obama-Biden Administration."

FBI records released Thursday have been touted by Flynn's lawyer, Sidney Powell, as exculpatory evidence heretofore concealed from the defense team. They suggest that now-fired FBI agent Peter Strzok and others in the FBI’s leadership stopped the bureau from closing its investigation into Flynn in early January 2017 after investigators had uncovered “no derogatory information” on him [i.e., no facts to support the allegations against Flynn to warrant further FBI investigation]. Emails from later that month show Strzok, along with then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page and several others, sought out ways to continue investigating Flynn [i.e., ways to prolong the investigation, as a political weapon against the Trump presidential administration].

Jordan and Johnson said what they found “even more concerning” was that “we continue to learn these new details from litigation and investigations — not from you. It is well past time that you show the leadership necessary to bring the FBI past the abuses of the Obama-Biden era.”
The congressmen claimed new revelations about the FBI’s interactions with Flynn “make it clear that the FBI’s wrongdoing is worse than previously known” and “suggest a pattern of misconduct and politicization at the highest levels of the Obama-Biden-era FBI.”

Flynn, 61, is fighting to dismiss the government's case against him. He pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to investigators about his conversations with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak about sanctions on Russia and a United Nations resolution on Israel. Flynn's contacts with Kislyak were swept up in U.S. surveillance reports, after which Strzok and another agent, believed to be Joseph Pientka, grilled him on the contents of the conversation on Jan. 24, 2017.

The congressman argued newly revealed documents show “the FBI had apparently sought to set a perjury trap for LTG Flynn during an interview on January 24, 2017.”

Flynn told the court earlier this year that he was “innocent of this crime” of lying to federal agents. He filed to withdraw his guilty plea after the Justice Department asked the judge to sentence him to up to six months in prison — though afterward, the department said probation would also be appropriate. [Flynn's attorney, Sidney] Powell is pressing for the dismissal of his case by arguing that the FBI unfairly treated Flynn.
“The FBI’s mission is to do justice dispassionately. But these documents suggest that the FBI ignored protocol to confront LTG Flynn about a potential violation of an obscure and rarely charged offense, with the real goal of forcing LTG Flynn’s resignation or prosecution,” Jordan and Johnson said.

Comey admitted he took advantage of the chaos in the early days of Trump's administration when he sent agent Strzok and another FBI agent to talk to Flynn. Records released Wednesday included handwritten notes from former FBI Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division Bill Priestap on the day the FBI interviewed Flynn:
“I agreed yesterday that we shouldn’t show Flynn [REDACTED] if he didn’t admit,” but, “I thought about it last night and I believe we should rethink this,” Priestap wrote. “What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”

The congressmen asked Wray to make Priestap and Pientka available for interviews and pressed the bureau chief to hand over all documents and communications related to “Crossfire Razor” — the code name for the Flynn investigation. They also asked for all records relating to Flynn’s discussions with Russia’s envoy.

Jordan and Johnson gave Wray two weeks to disclose when he “personally first learned of the FBI’s misconduct with respect to LTG Flynn” and to “explain why the Committee and the American public are learning of the FBI’s misconduct with respect to LTG Flynn from court filings rather than from you.”
They asked Wray to say whether he or any other FBI leader “prevented or delayed the disclosure of additional exculpatory information to LTG Flynn and his legal team.”

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report released late last year criticized the Justice Department and the FBI for at least 17 “significant errors and omissions” related to the surveillance warrants against Trump campaign associate Carter Page in 2016 and 2017, and for the bureau's reliance on British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s unverified dossier. Declassified footnotes show the FBI was aware that Russian disinformation may have compromised the dossier.

Wray testified in February there had been at least some illegal surveillance and said he was working to “claw back” that information. Wray said every member of the FBI mentioned in Horowitz’s report had been referred for a disciplinary review, and "the failures highlighted in that report are unacceptable — period."

In a filing earlier this year, [Flynn attorney Sidney Powell] pointed to a section of Horowitz’s report, which showed the intelligence briefing Pientka gave to then-candidate Trump’s team in August 2016 was a “pretext” to gather evidence to help in the counterintelligence investigation into Trump’s campaign.

Powell told Breitbart this weekend, “the government has advised that we will be getting more documents, including more text messages between FBI people." Referring to FBI leadership's actions, she said, "I am pretty sure there are at least offenses such as obstruction of justice," as well as false statements and perjury before Congress.

On Monday, Robert Kelner and Stephen Anthony, Flynn’s former defense lawyers at Covington and Burling LLP, told the court they “identified 32 additional pages of handwritten notes” that should have been turned over to Flynn’s new team last summer.

U.S. Attorney John Durham, picked by Attorney General William Barr to review the Russia investigation, is reportedly scrutinizing the Flynn case.

Tucker Carlson: The unraveling of the Michael Flynn case - May 7 2020, Thursday

"How often does the FBI set people up? How many other people's lives have they destroyed without anyone knowing about it?"

Tucker Carlson, Susan Rice and the origins of the Russia investigation - May 11 2020, Monday



Events that occurred between Jan 4 to Jan 24th 2017, where national security advisor Susan Rice, James Comey (FBI), James Clapper (DNI), John Brennan (CIA) and el presidente Barack Obama himself, together orchestrated a false narrative to entrap in scandal and paralyze the incoming Trump administration.


January 4 2017: Peter Strzok calls up the agents conducting the Michael Flynn investigation. The agents confirm that they found nothing to warrant continuing the Flynn investigation and are about to close it. Strzok instructs them to leave the investigation open, "Yeah, leave it open. The 7th floor [FBI's top management] is going to take over the investigation."

January 5 2017: President Obama has a meeting with Susan Rice, James Comey, Sally Yates (acting A G), Clapper, Brennan. After the meeting he has Yates and Comey stick around after the meeting, the two officials who will continue to serve in the Trump administration past inauguration are instructed how to target Mcihael Flynn. Yates (in a document just revealed only this week!) is astonished how Obama himself knows the details of a surveiled phone call between Michael Flynn and the Russian ambassador, that will be used to manufacture the perjury trap for Flynn.

January 6 2017: These same Obama intelligence officials give a briefing to incoming President Trump. After the others haave left the room, James Comey stays after, advising Trump of the Hillary Clinton/DNC/Fusion-GPS-funded "Russia Dossier" of false allegations against Trump, ostensibly to warn and inform Trump, but in truth to intimidate and threaten Trump with false allegations that could be made public. And Comey immediately after the meeding with Trump, conspiratorially runs to his car to make notes about every move and gesture of Trump's reaction to the Russia Dossier that Comey revealed.

In the intervening 2 weeks, these or other Obama/Hillary/DNC-loyalist deep state officials leak details of the Russia Dossier to Democrat-loyalist liberal media, to put further pressure on Trump with the false allegations, and to undermine his credibility, and create the false pretense for a special investigation.

January 24 2017: James Comey sends two FBI agents (one of them Peter Strzok) to interview Michael Flynn in his White House office as national security advisor. They do not clear the visit (as per protocol) with the white house counsel. Flynn even asked if he should have an attorney present, and Andrew McCabe told him he did NOT. Despite that Flynn was the subject of an investigation, he was not advised he was being investigated.
Multiple memos and later public statements by Comey, McCabe, Priestap, Strzok, Page, Rice and others make clear the purpose of the FBI interview off Flynn was ***precisely*** to manufacture a perjury trap and ensnare Flynn in false criminal charges:

1) to prevent Flynn from reforming the federal intelligence agencies and de-politicizing them, as Obama had politicized them,
2) To discredit Flynn, so he would not be believed by the public, leaving him buried in false allegations.
3) To intimidate and bankrupt Flynn with legal costs, to force Flynn to sign a false confession, in an attempt to make Flynn "sing and compose" false testimony to indict, impeach and remove Trump as president. The same pattern Comey, Mueller and McCabe continued to use on Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, George Pappadapoulos, Jerome Corsi, Michael Cohen, K T McFarland, and other Trump officials. Shake down innocent people and force them to make statements (composed by FBI) to falsely indict Trump. Only Michael Cohen caved in to these tactics, because only Cohen had other crimes that could be exploited. But he was not believable, and therefore ineffective when Cohen testified in the FBI's attempt to accuse and bring down Trump.
But how many innocent lives have been destroyed and bankrupted, in this malicious FBI false narrative and prosecution?

And again, how many people in the last 25-plus years pattern have Comey, McCabe, Mueller, Fitzgerald and others in FBI used this same pattern to destroy?
Randy Weaver/Ruby Ridge
the late Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)
Scooter Libby
executives of Enron and Arthur Anderson
all the Trump officials in the ccurrent plot.
And these are just the ones we know about!



And for partisan reasons, this same FBI cabal deliberately sabotaged the prosecutions of:

* IRS/Lois Lerner, and Koskinin's targeting of Tea Party and religious conservative groups, that allowed Obama to illegally win by a narrow margin the 2012 election.
* The compromised e-mail security of several hundred Democrat Congress members, orchestrated by an employee of Rep. Debbie Wasserman bitch-cunt Schultz, an employee who was never prosecuted.
Likewise, security compromised (but no one ever prosecuted) by Senator Diane Feinestein's office, who literally employed a Chinese spy. No penalty, no arrests, no consequences.
and
* The FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton's missing e-mails and national security-compromising illegal e-mail server.

How many other innocent lives has this politicized corrupt FBI (and wider intelligence and other federal agencies) destroyed?
How many other friends of the DNC has this FBI deliberately thrown the cases for and let go, out of partisan-Bolshevik loyalty and subservience to the DNC?

Tucker Carlson: Rep. Adam Schiff should resign - May 8 2020, Friday



In the last 2 weeks, everything that Democrats and FBI/DOJ have manipulated to keep hidden has finally been coming out. And the visible corruption and criminality leads right up to the Obama oval office.

What Schiff, Comey, McCabe, Susan Rice, James Clapper, John Brennan, Sally Yates, Loretta Lynch and other deep state types have been assuring us since Jan 2017 "absolutely" proves Trump is a "Russian asset" and a stooge of Vladimir Putin, that they've said constantly on CNN and MSNBC for 3 years... it turns out in closed-room testimony, when these same people were under oath forced to tell the truth, that there is NO EVIDENCE, NONE that proves or even suggests that Trump has any Russia connection.

Yeah, it only took 3 and a half years for the truth to come out.

The supreme irony is Barack Obama who orchestrated the Russia Hoax coup attempt, weaponization of the FBI and DOJ against his Republican opponents, THIS is the guy who bemoans that setting free Michael Flynn (who was clearly set up by malicious prosecutors , as even acknowledged by Obama-appointed FBI inspector general Michael Horowitz), that setting free a guy forced to sign a false confession is "jeaopardizing the rule of law". When in truth it was Obama himself who completely corrupted and Bolshevized the rule of law to destroy innocent men.
Wow. Talk about audacity.

I watched Trump accuse Obama of committing the greatest crime ever. A reporter of course asked what that crime was. Trump went with “you know what it was” bs because he couldn’t answer the question. Poor thing doesn’t have to put up with that at his rallies where he’s just cheered on no matter what he says. Maybe Trump should get back to having those rallies if it’s time to open things up?

Anyways this is what you get when the President has a true wingman like Barr. Sad time for the rule of law imho.

List of officials who sought to 'unmask' Flynn released:
Joe Biden, James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, Obama's chief of staff Denis McDonough among them


 Quote:


The list revealed that then-U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power made unmasking requests seven times between Nov. 30, 2016 and Jan. 11, 2017. The list revealed that Clapper made three requests from Dec. 2, 2016 through Jan. 7, 2017; and that Brennan made two requests, one on Dec. 14 and one on Dec. 15, 2016. Comey also made a request on Dec. 15, 2016. On Jan. 5, 2017, McDonough made one request, and on Jan. 12, 2017, Biden made one request.

The day McDonough requested the information is the same day as an Oval Office meeting that has drawn scrutiny in the wake of the Flynn developments. The meeting included Obama, Biden, Clapper, Brennan, Comey, then-National Security Adviser Susan Rice and then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.

That meeting was the first time Yates learned about Flynn's calls with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, according to notes from her special counsel interview which were released last week. Yates, in her interview, indicated Obama was aware of Flynn’s intercepted December 2016 phone calls with Kislyak during the presidential transition period.

After the briefing, Obama asked Yates and Comey to "stay behind," and said he had "learned of the information about Flynn" and his conversation with Russia's ambassador about sanctions. Obama "specified that he did not want any additional information on the matter, but was seeking information on whether the White House should be treating Flynn any differently, given the information.”

That Oval Office meeting aligns with an email that Rice — on Jan. 20, 2017, the day President Trump was sworn into office — sent herself documenting Obama’s guidance, evidently in the same meeting, about how law enforcement should investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential race.

“President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the intelligence and law enforcement communities ‘by the book,’” Rice emailed to herself. “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.”

The email also appeared to reflect Obama’s guidance on sharing sensitive information with both the Russians and the incoming Trump administration.

Rice wrote that Obama said, “he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.”

Meanwhile, the unmasking documents come just a day after Biden initially told ABC News’ “Good Morning America” that he knew “nothing about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn,” and called the topic a “diversion” from the coronavirus pandemic.




I wonder when M E M and the other zealots of the Democrat/Left will admit how dirty their side is, and that this is by far the greatest scandal in American political history.


The amazing thing is, with Biden not only being wrong on every foreign policy issue of the last 30 years (according to former defense secretary Robert Gates), not only being a gaffe machine, not only him and his family earning tens of millions on corrupt lobbyist/campaign finance deals selling his political office, including to China and Ukraine, among countless other corrupt sellouts to Amtrack, MBNA and others.
And in spite of this, the zombies of the Democrat/Left will insanely still vote for Biden as the candidate!

But this will at least shave some more zombies away from the Bolshevik pack.

And even before this was announced today, Biden was at only 54% support within his own party, and 23% of Democrats don't support Biden and want another Democrat nominee.
Those numbers might crater below 50% support after this revelation.


I shit on the integrity of the Democrat party. They are every bit as treacherous as the Bolsheviks and Maoists they adore and emulate. And I've often quoted here the Obama officials who openly praise marxists unapologetically. Those include Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Obama-appointed officials Van Jones, Mark Lloyd, Anita Dunn, Cass Sunstein, and Ron Bloom. Those are only the ones I know of.

That alone is a lot of marxists in one administration.
oh, and of course unmasker John Brennan.

Trump admin struggles to explain what’s criminal about Obamagate

For all the partisan conservative yelling there isn’t an actual crime, y’know like obstruction of justice or lying to the FBI.

When Biden gets elected Trump’s fat ass is toast.

Trump said it's obvious what is criminal. Obtaining fraudulent FISA warrants, based on known falsified evidence. FBI officials deliberately presenting false evidence to a judge to get those FISA warrants. Leaking classified documents to the press. Perjury. Malicious prosecution. Obstruction of justice.
If you want the case made, read Gregg Jarrett's book The Russia Hoax. And that was only with the evidence on display in late 2017! And so much more is known now of further improper actions by FBI, DOJ, CIA, DNI, by the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign, and by the highest officials of the Obama Oval Office itself.
Comey admitted he leaked FBI documents to a friend (a college professor and sometimes contract employee for the FBI under Comey) to create a false narrative and provoke forming of the Mueller investigation.
Comey (on video!) admitted he lied and broke the law when he sent 2 FBI agents (one of them ultra-partisan conspirator Peter Strzok) to interview Michael Flynn at the white house.

Flynn's original legal counsel, who pressured Flynn to take a plea despite that he was clearly not guilty, turn out to be a law firm of extremely partisan Democrat lawyers, where Eric Holder is a partner, who donated $100,000 to the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016, who have donated $80,000 to the Biden campaign, and tens of thousands more to other 2020 Democrat campaigns. Flynn's own lawyers were part of the shakedown. Selling out your own client to help the prosecution for partisan reasons certainly breaks a few laws.
On and on.
Barr and Durham can certainly give you a list with their indictments when their investigation concludes. They have already prepared for criminal indictments of Comey, Brennan, Clapper, and McCabe. Flynn's new attorney Syndey Powell (an attorney in the Clinton Whitewater special investigation) has made a career in the last 2 decades of setting free innocent men that have been shaken down illegally by a criminal FBI run by Mueller, McCabe, Comey, Fitzgerald and Weissmann. And Enron, and Arthur Anderson. Multiple prosecutions of which have been overturned by the courts for malicious prosecution, manufactured perjury traps, witholding exculpatory evidence that would have proven their innocence, and shaking down defendants to take a plea bargain by stacking on excessive charges.
>>EXACTLY<< the tactics Mueller and Comey unleashed on Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, Jerome Corsi, K.T. McFarland, George Pappadapoulos, Michael Caputo, Paul Manafort, and many more. All shaken down with the same illegal tactics. Only Cohen broke and chose to "sing and compose" the FBI's scripted allegations against Trump.

If you don't see the obvious in front of you, it's because you have partisan blinders on and you just plain refuse to see it.

When the lying was manufactured (i.e., a falsified perjury trap) and the FBI agents who interviewed General Michael Flynn said themselves that they thought Flynn was telling the truth and wasn't deliberately trying to hide information.

But then just as the FBI agents were about to close Flynn's file, Bolshevik party loyalist Peter Strzok asked the agents not to close the file, because despite the lack of evidence against Flynn, the "7th floor" [i.e., FBI top management] was taking over the file.
Plus a feeding frenzy of 300 requests by at least 17 Obama officials requested to unmask Flynn, even before Flynn's phone call with the Russian ambaassador or his Jan 24 2017 white house interview by the two FBI agents. Making it crystal clear: the purpose of the FBI perjury trap was not to find the facts, but to frame and destroy Michaael Flynn, to prevent him from remaning national security advisor, from reforming the FBI, DNI, and national security council, and from discovering what Obama officials were up to, Obama's corrupting and politicizing those federal branches. And specifically regarding the corrupt Iran deal, discovering what Obama, Kerry and other Obama officials did to corruptly secure the Iran nuclear deal.

Plus Flynn, if not set up by FBI, would have discovered the four illegal FISA warrants on Carter Page secured with falsified evvidence.
They manufactured crimes to destroy Flynn, to prevent him from discovering THEIR crimes!

I couldn't agree more.
And especially enjoy the Pelosi and Schiff circus cover-graphic from the New York Post:

That ruling undermines my faith that we have a fair and impartial justice system. The DOJ ended their prosecution of the Flynn case, due to the number of inappropriate and unethical things that agency and the FBI did in pursuing the Flynn case. Outside of a corrupt Soviet-style court system ("Show me the man, and I will give you the crime"), what is there left to continue the case with?

But then, a majority on the Appeals Court are appointed by either Obama or Bill Clinton, so they are apparently party men, regardless of the law. We live in terrifying times.

At the very least, they want to keep the Flynn case alive past the Nov 3rd election, to hurt Trump and the Republicans. No other logical reason, just that.

This for me shows how lost you guys are. Flynn lied and it was about foreign contacts. These were lies told purposely and not in anyway were these lies told for the country. Patriotism isn’t loyalty to your party but to your country. Something so basic but for you it’s all about party.

Says the guy who doesn’t want an accused person simply to get due process because that person worked for Trump.

Due process is good g. That doesn’t change that he repeatedly lied and why he lied.

There is absolutely no way you can look at all the misconduct by the FBI and DOJ at every stage, where according to Sally Yates in her Jan 5 2017 memo, Barack Obama HIMSELF orchestrated the malicious prosecution of Flynn, and instructed Yates to "select the right people" to further investigate Flynn.

(i.e., select Democrat party loyalists in the FBI/DOJ who would prosecute Flynn and not end the investigation despite a complete lack of evidence, as the two previously assigned FBI agents were about to on Jan 4th 2017, before contacted by Peter Strzok, and instructed despite no evidence to keep it open for Strzok's partisan weaponization of the Flynn investigation. Fraudulent FISA warrants and unmaskings. Perjury traps set, despite both interviewing FBI agents knowing Flynn had answered honestly during his deposition, that Flynn was tricked into giving without a lawyer present.)

These Democrat-Bolsheviks, not Flynn, are the criminals.

Flynn lied about his foreign contacts. You can shout partisan accusations all you want but Flynn is no hero and is precisely what a swamp creature looks like. Don’t worry I’ll pass on further comment for a while. It’s just so disgusting I need a break.

There was no crime on Flynn's part, only the manufactured FBI perjury trap alleging Flynn did not disclose the full truth.
But
(1) the FBI knew the answer to every question before they asked Flynn, the definition of a perjury trap,
(2) even the 2 FBI agents who interviewed Flynn did not think he was purposely witholding any information (i.e., NOT lying), and
(3) Flynn was tricked into doing an FBI interview without a lawyer present, whereas Hillary Clinton and her staffers, who *DID* lie, and *DID* destroy subpoenaed evidence had an army of lawyers, and never faced any criminal charges.
And
(4) The Democrat weaaponized FBI tried to do the same thing to Flynn's assistant DNI director K.T. McFarland, but she had a better lawyer and never allowed herself to be shaken down into a plea bargain on false charges. Flynn, on the other hand, trusted Eric Holder's law firm, a heavily Democrat-contributing law firm, who tricked him into signing a confession of charges he was innocent of, to serve their Democrat masters rather than Flynn's best interest.

This was not about justice, this was about framing and slandering Flynn, and through him, getting Trump as well.

But now the lights are on, and the Democrat roaches are all running for cover, as DNI director Ratcliffe finally released the documents exposing the conspiracy. There is nowhere left for the conspirators to hide. Documents that should have been released at least a year ago, and if released in early 2017, there never would have been an ability to launch a Mueller special investigation under false pretenses. These evil bastards signed off on *FOUR* illegal FISA warrants, knowing full well there was no evidence when they forged the first FISA warrant. As Kevin Clinesmith's conviction ("Viva le resistance!") makes crystal clear.
