Time to address the colossal Obama administration scandal: Michael Flynn is just a piece of the pie
The Lowell Sun ^ | 05-11-20 | Tom Shattuck

With the vindication of Michael Flynn, we must pursue the malfeasance at every level of the Department of Justice.

Last week the Department of Justice dropped the criminal case against President Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, tossing out a prosecution based on a scandal that wasn’t: Trump/Russia collusion.

Special counsel Robert Mueller was aggressively using the case against Flynn in hopes of pressuring the decorated Army general to give up the goods on his boss, Donald Trump. To the dismay of many in the Washington, D.C., establishment, there were no goods.

James Comey’s FBI had bypassed the White House Counsel in order to get Flynn to participate in what he was only to find out later was a criminal interrogation. James Comey bragged about his clever ploy in a subsequent interview, musing that it was “something I probably wouldn’t have done or maybe gotten away with in a more … organized administration.”

The evidence is becoming clearer and clearer. The Obama Administration used intelligence services to snag President Trump on obstruction charges, using a manufactured narrative of Russian collusion as their justification and Michael Flynn as their primary tool.

Justice must be served. Plotters, conspirators and participants on every level need to face the music.

The justice department has become lawless and un-governable under Trump, just can’t trust them anymore. Ignore all they say. And, begin removal efforts to AG Barr so that we can get America back on track.

Convictions and capital punishment are necessary.

Is there any law in DC?

DC issues edicts to USA without law, conjures legal activity without USConstitution and openingly destroys the rights of We-The-People; esp. our right to lawful government.

Until we start seeing perp walks, 3am US Marshall raids, with ninja suits and dead dogs, and “Flight risk, no bail...”, these stories are masturbation fantasies.

Where does the President, Gen. Flynn, the President’s family, and numerous others in the Administration go to get the last four years back? Where do they go to get their reputations back among the millions of low-info voters? Where do we, the millions of Trump supporters go to get redress for the massive damage done to us? There will be no true justice in this matter even if some low-hanging fruit are prosecuted and convicted.

You are going to need a fry pan the size of Yankee Stadium to properly make THAT size omelet. Don’t forget to have the three tons of sausage on hand, too.

Durham Supercharges Investigation With Elite Prosecutors To Review 'Witch Hunt'

"Durham, the U.S. Attorney for Connecticut tasked with by Attorney General Bill Barr with investigating the actions taken against the Trump team, has tapped Jeff Jensen - U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri who had been investigating the Michael Flynn case. Also added to the team is interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Timothy Shea, according to Fox's sources.

"They farmed the investigation out because it is too much for Durham and he didn’t want to be distracted," said one source, adding "He’s going full throttle, and they’re looking at everything."

Word of Durham's beefed-up team comes amid worsening tensions between the Trump administration and congressional Democrats, who have been making the case that the Justice Department's reviews have become politicized given the decision last week to drop the Flynn case - a move which House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) called "outrageous."

In addition to the attempt to overturn an election and influence another election (2018 house) and hamstring a new administration (wildly successful with 2 plus years of turmoil) there is something else they are covering up.

The Obama administration used the NSA and surveillance state for political reasons to spy on their opponents, congress, and journalists.

This is equally as scandalous and it further explains the motive for all of this - they had to get rid of Flynn lest all of this be discovered and disclosed to the American public.

Stop and consider that according to the laws of our nation, there were likely THOUSANDS of individual felonies committed by the prior administration. Every single time political operatives queried communications with an American citizen they violated the law.

In fact, they were so blatant about it that they arranged for “contractors” to be hired by the DNC and HRC campaigns who were also contractors for the FBI/CIA. In other words, paid political opposition researchers had direct access to the NSA database!

Let that sink in for a bit..... how/why so many people are missing this is a mystery.

There are thousands of Watergates that occurred. Flynn was going to figure all of this out and lest we forget, Trump claimed he was “wiretapped” and the media and left howled.

It was true.

Mike Rogers told him.

Maxine Watters told us.

Chuck Schumer told us.

Samantha Powers told us when she expressed surprise at the “unmaskings” done in her name.

Many in the GOPe knew this also.... Graham and others. They knew and said nothing. They allowed this.

It is all right there if people simply connect the dots. This is far worse than “Watergate.”

Every action since Trump won the election has had a dual purpose - hide the fact that our government had become the KGB in America AND damage Trump.

They damaged Trump and that part of the story is now clearly established, but the rest of the story has not entered our public discourse and it remains hidden (classified).

They talk a lot about the FISA court, but in reality they bypassed the FISA court a long time ago with Trump (and others) and people in both parties knew about it. The whole point of obtaining the ridiculous FISA orders against Carter Page was to try and give them legal cover for what they had already done! Trump was going to learn all of this, but they froze him out to keep it secret.

The FISA against Page was never the primary objective! The FISA authorizations were to “clean up “legally” what they had already illegally done” as a FISA order not only allows you to jump two people from the target - it allows you to retroactively access the databases.

This is why they have been so desperate and this is why they are howling so loudly now. This is why they made a desperate attempt to impeach Trump on the flimsy Ukraine phone call.

Does it all make more sense now?

If they do not come clean on what I posted @12 then the Trump administration is part of the cover-up.

I can see a lot of GOP types hiding all of it because they too were complicit in it, but I cannot see Trump hiding it.

Their argument is always - “it will hurt our national security if we cannot do this”, but who really damaged our nation the last 3 years? Our government or terrorists?

Durham’s team seems to be mostly the usual Deep Staters from the names I’ve seen.

Colossal ANTI-TRUMP scandal, including by some that he appointed.

If Sessions had done his job on day 1, or stood aside to let Trump pick someone else, this could have been run to ground in 2017, with less than half the damage, and a fresher trail to follow.

The assembly-line of unmaskings during the final 2 years of the O regime must also be completely exposed. Samantha Power, Susan Rice, Sally Yates, James Crapper — all these were involved and had no business unmasking 99% of the Americans they did it to.

These people are crooked to the core.

Michael Flynn is a piece of the pie. Comey is a piece of sh** whose essence was shared by all the flunkies below him.

This whole Flynn set up was part of the Obama/Soros Resist Trump 3 day organized plan that was first hatched the weekend of November 14, 2016 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in DC with the big Donors and Deep State in attendance.
