Why doesn’t Trump just pardon Flynn, good heavens, he’s been through enough BS.

Punish hell, they will kill them. And, on second thought, killing someone is punishing them, isn’t it?

-- Why doesn't Trump just pardon Flynn --

Flynn plead guilty and is awaiting sentencing.

But wait, there's more!

The Flynn case is turning into a venue for airing the corruption inside Team Mueller. Flynn's new lawyer is fighting, right now for production of evidence.

Hot news too - happened in the last few hours.

One of the reasons why the Flynn legal situation is so interesting is not really because of Flynn himself;
but rather because the Flynn situation is a likely example of then-Pres Obama’s surveillance network in operation.

QUOTING TOM FITTON, JUDICIAL WATCH PRESIDENT:
Obama's State Dept was all hands on deck in terms of targeting Trump (as the candidate then as president).

<><> meetings with Glen Simpson, Steele, Clinton aides, Sid Blumenthal and Clinton associate, Cody Shearer.
<><> There was more than one dossier going to the FBI and DOJ.....
<><> there was Christopher Steele's dossier,
<><> and a second dossier created by the State Dept itself, targeting Trump.
<><> shows Jonathan Winer and Glen Simpson were in contact Sept 2016
<><> Winer immediately contacted Victoria Nuland, a top aide at the Obama State Dept.
<><> Post-election, they worked hand in glove with top Dem Steny Hoyer's guy on Russian issues.
<><> (which means if Steny knew, Pelosi knew and if Pelosi knew, Schmanure knew),
<><> They conveyed info gained from Steele, a close to associate of Jonathan Winer.

Sidney Powell needs to get on this.

The execrable Susan Rice's email sent to herself on Trump's inauguration day---just hours before she was scheduled to leave purported to document part of the strange meeting Obama held.

As Obama's top security aide, Rice was nervous about the fact that, at the president’s direction, she had failed
“to share information fully as it relates to Russia” with President Trump’s incoming national security team........

NOTE: Rice was being replaced by Gen Flynn.

Her actions violated longstanding American tradition. Outgoing administrations have always cooperated in the transition to a new administration, whether of the same or the opposing party, especially on matters relating to national security.

Susan Rice is far from the brightest bulb on the tree, but she was well aware that by concealing facts ostensibly relating to national security from her counterpart in the new administration–General Michael Flynn–she was, at a minimum, violating longstanding civic norms.

If she actually lied to Flynn, she could have been accused of much worse. So Rice wanted to be able to retrieve her email, if she found herself in a sticky situation, and tell the world that she hid relevant facts about Russia from the new administration on Barack Obama’s orders.

What were the secrets that Obama wanted to keep from the new Trump administration?
We can easily surmise that
<><>the Steele memo was paid for by the Democratic Party;
<><>that the FBI had to some degree collaborated with Steele;
<><>that the Clinton campaign had fed some of the fake news in the dossier to Steele;
<><>that Comey’s FBI had used Steele’s fabrications as the basis for FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign.

These were among the facts that Obama and his minions didn’t want Michael Flynn and Donald Trump to know. Susan Rice, we can infer, was told to keep these secrets, and if anyone ever asked why she had failed to disclose them to Michael Flynn and others on Trump’s team, or even lied to those people, she would have the defense that President Obama ordered her to do it.

There may be more to it than this. The redacted paragraph likely contains more information about what it was that Rice wasn’t supposed to tell the Trump team. One of these days, we will learn what was blacked out.

The fact that Michael Flynn was Susan Rice’s counterpart in the incoming administration may also be significant. We know that the FBI agents who interviewed General Flynn–even Peter Strzok!–reported that they didn’t think he had lied about anything.

And yet, Obama’s DOJ and Bob Mueller’s “investigation”–basically a continuation of Obama’s corrupt Department of Justice under another, less accountable name–persecuted Flynn to the point where he finally pled guilty to a single count of lying to the FBI in order, as he says, to end the madness and the financial drain.

Why were the Democrats so determined to discredit General Flynn? Perhaps because they wanted to pre-empt any outrage that may otherwise have followed on revelations that the Obama administration’s National Security Advisor hid important facts from Gen Flynn, her successor, during the transition, and may have lied to him about those facts, in violation of all American tradition.

Yes. Tyrants sometimes do things that their serfs enjoy. That does not make it not tyranny.

True, as far as you go. But they have no interest in getting convictions of leftists (institutionalists, of either so-called party). This ruthless pursuit of a conviction is emphatically not apolitical.

There is no eagerness at all to pursue a conviction of any of the Clinton Cabal.

Illicit Lawfare. There is no justice in or from the District of Corruption.

It's all fitting together like a glove.

Seems like Barr is waiting to bring out the fireworks when Durham comes up to the plate.

Durham is some fierce looking dude. Let's hope he can wipe that arrogant smile off Comey's lying face.

do some research on FBI retaliation. Then do the same for the military. Then do the same for the V.A. Recently the whistleblower PROTECTION department was investigated for doing the opposite.

No one is allowed to talk.

Did you know that the FBI has immunity in other nations and here?

We were on the road to being a police state. If some commie beats Trump the deep state will be ready to step up where they left off. Good help us if a democrat steals the election.

Liz,
I think Sydney Powell is so far ahead of us, we can’t see her smoking exhaust. If the General is going to get extricated from the corrupt DOJ trap, it will be Sydney that performs that miracle.

If the DOJ attorneys are sanctioned, I will do hand springs but I would not surprise me.

so employees are living in fear of what, losing their jobs or their integrity and honor?

.....No one is allowed to talk....
BS they can talk maybe they are afraid to talk

.....Did you know that the FBI has immunity in other nations and here?...

Limited immunity in usa, if they are assigned to work abroad they usually have diplomatic passports with limited immunity from foreign countries...our Constitution still applies to all US citizens abroad with a few exceptions:

New lawyer...

Sullivan issued a Brady request back in 2018 for the old lawyers.

https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/374730-judicial-order-in-flynn-case-prompts-new-round-of-scrutiny

Did Mueller’s team have knowledge about the classified documents ? Did Flynn’s old layers know about them ?

Sullivan doesn’t like to played...

I wonder why there has been no clamor for the redacted portion of Rice’s “cover everyone’s a$$” email to be un-redacted ?
