[Secret Memos] Did the FBI retaliate against Michael Flynn by launching Russia probe?
CIRCA ^

Posted on 06/26/2017 5:01:09 PM PDT by springwater13

The FBI launched a criminal probe against former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn two years after the retired Army general roiled the bureau’s leadership by intervening on behalf of a decorated counterterrorism agent who accused now-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and other top officials of sexual discrimination, according to documents and interviews.

Flynn’s intervention on behalf of Supervisory Special Agent Robyn Gritz was highly unusual, and included a letter in 2014 on his official Pentagon stationary, a public interview in 2015 supporting Gritz’s case and an offer to testify on her behalf. His offer put him as a hostile witness in a case against McCabe, who was soaring through the bureau’s leadership ranks.

Oh, man I wish they'd nail McCabe, Lynch, Comey, Holder, Obama, Clinton(s), and all the others who were complicit. And there are a lot.

Who is more odious, Comey or McCabe?

It's a tough call.

I’m starting to think that that may happen. It’s been a long time since I’ve believed our Federal agencies could be trusted to perform their Constitutional duties. Reestablish morality.

Didn’t Chuck Schumer make a threat against anyone who crosses the intelligence services?

McCabe is just another liberal Democrat who says one thing in public and does another in private. Bunch of corrupt hypocrites.

From the article: “The FBI sought to block Flynn’s support for the agent, asking a federal administrative law judge in May 2014 to keep Flynn and others from becoming a witness in her Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) case, memos obtained by Circa show. Two years later, the FBI opened its inquiry of Flynn. The EEOC case, which is still pending, was serious enough to require McCabe to submit to a sworn statement to investigators, the documents show. . .Three FBI employees told Circa they personally witnessed McCabe make disparaging remarks about Flynn before and during the time the retired Army general emerged as a figure in the Russia case. . .FBI agents’ concerns became more pronounced when a highly-classified piece of evidence — an intercepted conversation between Flynn and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak — suddenly leaked to the news media and prompted Flynn’s resignation as Trump’s top security adviser. ‘The Flynn leaks were nothing short of political,’ one FBI employee said, noting the specific contents of the conversation were known by only a handful of government officials when they leaked. ‘The leaks appeared to be targeted to take Flynn out.’. . .”

"...possibly mentally ill or emotional..."

How does that comment end up in a performance evaluation? I doubt that whoever wrote it was a Doctor of any sort. I would have sued the bastards on that alone. Unless she was officially diagnosed with mental illness, or an emotional disorder, it had no right to be included in her evaluation.

Considering that Obama had just renewed Flynn's security...it does make sense.

No way Obama's goons didn't know exactly what Flynn was engaged in between his previous security clearance.

Flynn's whereabouts wasn't some big secret.
