The Witch Hunt continues against Trump supporters.
Now, it’s the US Army targeting General Michael Flynn over the phony “emoluments” clause.
The Washington Post reported:
The Defense Department’s internal watchdog has concluded a long-delayed investigation into Michael Flynn, defense officials said Friday, sending its findings to the Army in a case that could bring tens of thousands of dollars in financial penalties for President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser.
The investigation focuses on Flynn’s acceptance of money from Russian and Turkish interests before joining the Trump administration, a potential violation of the Constitution’s emoluments clause. With few exceptions, U.S. officials, including retired service members like Flynn, are prohibited from accepting money or gifts from foreign governments. Flynn retired from the Army as a three-star general in 2014.
The inspector general’s investigation, opened in April 2017, was put on hold for more than three years amid a broader scandal that included a criminal investigation of Flynn by the Justice Department — part of what would become the investigation of Trump’s first presidential campaign and Russian interference in the 2016 election led by former FBI director Robert S. Mueller III.

Ha! Who’s going to investigate them?
Remember when we thought, for sure, that Hildabeast was going to jail?
I give up.
“Dirty Emmet” took senior status once he was assured that President Trump couldn’t replace his seditious @ss.
So what are they gonna do, IMPEACH HIM??? What STATUTE is he alleged to have violated???
And the BILLION and a half dollars that the Biden family took from China?...and money from the Ukraine....And 3 1/2 MILLION dollars from the mayor of Moscow, Russia????
must be a law somewhere else, cause this ain’t covered under the Constitution Emoluments Clauses:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
The dimocRATS.....
“We are the party of ‘malicious prosecution and abuse of process’
That won’t stop them.
Well, I was always bothered by his profiting relationship with Russia and turkey. Actions have consequences. Foreign agents are traitors.
He said “WWG1WGA” so that makes him a good guy forever.
‘Cause only good and smart guys could ever say that.
Wiggywaggi, Flynn.
But that would be politicizing the military. And Joe Biden would never ever ever do that, would he?
Lucky the new secdef is clean as a whistle.
yeah that was another horrible persecution
Biden’s DOD Uses Witch-hunt for “Extremists” to Set the Stage for a Purge of Conservatives from the Military
Red State ^ | 02/05/2021 | Streiff / FR Posted by SeekAndFind
You could see this coming like you can see a thunderhead out on the Great Plains. The order came from a meeting Biden’s DOD Secy Austin held with @thejointstaff @USNavy @usairforce @USArmy @USMC.....
The allegation, provided without a shred of empirical evidence that the US military is overrun by hate groups and extremists, has been made for weeks. —snip—
But the degree to which this narrative foretold future events became evident when the FBI was permitted to perform background checks, including reviews of social media, of the 20,000 or so National Guardsmen called up to defend Joe Biden’s Washington, DC, against some imagined threat (more Security Theater, like the predicted attacks on state capitols). See U.S. Defense Officials Fear Insider Attack From National Guard Service Members Ahead of Inauguration.
This was an unconscionable affront to the US military. The assertion that National Guardsmen posed an insider threat to Joe Biden should have been met with guffaws and a refusal of any governor to go along with it.
General has gone on record defending their troops against Cohen’s calumny. No one in even the out-going Trump Defense leadership had anything to say. Only one governor has defended their own Guardsmen. Instead, we saw the FBI running checks on National Guardsmen with the objective of finding something, anything to justify the panic.
This is just part of the Antonio-Gramsci-esque Long March Through the Institutions that has finally conquered the US military.
Secretary of Defense Austin has already demonstrated that he has a total disregard for the safety of the military personnel and is completely subservient to Critical Race Theory and whatever other victim theology that is being peddled, see Opinion: Defense Secretary Austin Plays Politics Right out of the Gate. What does this mean? From the New York Times.
All military personnel, including those in the National Guard, undergo extensive background investigations and physical examinations including assessments of tattoos. Troops are continuously monitored for indications that they are involved in extremist activity and receive training to identify others around them who could be “insider threats.”
But critics say the military’s leadership has often failed to hold violators accountable consistently.
“Current regulations have penalties that are largely left up to commanders, often at the unit level,” Heidi Beirich, a co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, told a House hearing last February. “There appears to be no process to track people expelled for ties to white supremacists’ groups.”
At the same time, there are many internal cultural issues within the military — from the recruitment process to training and beyond — that may take years to unravel.
The recently approved National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2021, which sets annual Pentagon policy and spending priorities, contained measures meant to help the department address the issue, including a new position in the Defense Department inspector general’s office: a deputy inspector general for diversity and inclusion and supremacist, extremism and criminal gang activity. Congress also charged the inspector general with establishing a “mechanism to track and report” extremist or gang activity in the military.
The fact that the same morons who have decided that the OK sign is a white supremacist sign will be deciding what tattoos mean should give no one any comfort. That tracking military veterans to gauge their political reliability is casually bandied about is terrifying. A political commissar dedicated to rooting out troops with the wrong politics is not something native to North America.
Let’s not fool ourselves that they will be looking for actual gang members or KKK or BLM…oops, I didn’t say that…members in the ranks. They will be intrusively monitoring social media to see what you say and which Facebook posts you share.
If you have a Rush 24/7 membership or a RedState VIP member or fly the Gadsden flag (see Leftwing Activist Journalists Claim the Gadsden Flag Is a Sign of Insurrection and Hate), your days in uniform are probably numbered. In 2012, the Obama Pentagon discharged a Marine reservist who said unflattering things about Obama while not on active duty.
In past years, no one in the Pentagon would have dreamed of monitoring a private Facebook site to review comments made by people who may never again serve on active duty (such as Individual reservists with no unit affiliation) to try to root out disrespect to The Lightbringer. They aren’t going to touch people who are Antifa sympathizers or participants in BLM riots. They are going after one demographic and one political persuasion.
As I noted in Steve Cohen Tries to Walk Back Smear That National Guardsmen Might Kill Biden but the Official Reaction Reveals a Larger Problem:
This all points to a deep corruption in the senior officer corps and hints at a deep-seated contempt for the rank-and-file Guardsmen by their own leadership. I can’t imagine something similar not existing in the Regular Army.

sick abuse of power
It wouldn’t have made any difference. Presidential pardons only apply to criminal sanctions, not civil sanctions.
When you retire from the military - as I did - you sign a number of documents acknowledging certain legal responsibilities of being a retired officer. One of those acknowledgements is about the limitations of accepting money, in any form including salary, from a foreign government. It’s not impossible to accept a job with a foreign government as a retired officer, but you need to complete a couple of documents (like the FGE, Foreign Government Employment Application) and submit them to your service branch for their approval.
Once approved - which generally takes no longer than 60-days from what I understand it - you can then accept remuneration from the foreign government for the period of time that has been approved. Approvals aren’t issued in perpetuity.
Flynn, apparently, never sought much less received prior approval before working as a lobbyist. If that’s true, he has a problem and there is nothing Trump could have done to alleviate that problem for the reason I previously mention.
ITEM-—Gen Flynn’s third brief made waves b/c it included texts between Obama’s FBI analysts;
ITEM-—the filthy Obama spy apparat knew the Flynn investigations were bogus, but were driven by partisan animus.
ITEM-—One Obama FBI texter confessed they bought “professional liability insurance” b/c their illegal conduct might be exposed.
ITEM-—This could be insurance fraud if the Obama spies falsified insurance apps, omitting their early commission of wrongful acts.
EXCLUSIVE CIRCA 2020 : Obama’s Treasury Dept Spied on Gen Flynn, and the Trump Family, Dec 2015 and well into 2017, Says Whistleblower
The Ohio Star | 18 May 2020 | Neil W. McCabe / FR Posted by Erik Latranyi
Obama’s Treasury Department regularly surveilled retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn’s financial records and transactions beginning in December 2015 and well into 2017, before, during and after when he served at the White House as President Donald Trump’s National Security Director, a former senior Treasury Department official, and veteran of the intelligence community, told the Star Newspapers.
“I started seeing things that were not correct, so I did my own little investigation, because I wanted to make sure what I was seeing was correct” she said. “You never want to draw attention to something if there is not anything there.” The whistleblower said she only saw metadata, that is names and dates when the general’s financial records were accessed. “I never saw what they saw.”
By March 2016, the whistleblower said she and a colleague, who was detailed to Treasury from the intelligence community, became convinced that the surveillance of Flynn was not tied to legitimate criminal or national security concerns, but was straight-up political surveillance among other illegal activity occurring at Treasury.
“When I showed it to her, what she said, ‘Oh, sh%t!’ and I knew right then and there that I was right – this was some shady stuff,” the whistleblower said. “It wasn’t just Flynn,” the whistleblower said. “They were targeting other US citizens, as well.”
Only two names are listed in the whistleblower’s official paperwork, the others must remain sealed, she said.
The second name is Paul J. Manafort Jr., the one-time chairman of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The whistleblower said the most senior staffers of Trump’s 2016 campaign and members of Trump’s family were spied on. (Excerpt) Read more at theohiostar.com ...
AND THIS Obama also spied on Members of Congress, (Other reports says the USSC was also spied on).
The “Members of Congress” being spied upon by Obama could be a goldmine of info.
Betcha good money, Obama was spying on DEMOCRATS.
Did Obama need to know if Democrats were holding out on his share of the graft?

Why is law enforcement not pursuing this case?
And why are they not investigating clear evidence of Animal Abuse by President Jao Bai-Din (乔白丁) whose dog tail-grabbing (which he refers to as 'horsing around', much like Jerry Sandusky rationalized his activities with the young men in the Penn State locker room) is creating vicious German Shepherds not at all like Rin Tin Tin.
Meanwhile the entire FAMILY of the frontal lobotomized demented “present_dent”, with former baby sitter Jill (now “wife”) signing his E.O.s— the entire FAMILY is being continuously paid from Communist Chinese government funds and sources... all of them, especially Hunter. The govt. HAS ALL the details from Hunter’s laptop (as do several other people who have copies of the hard drive still in possession)— and IT IS NOT ENOUGH to remove 1.) the illegal “executive”, 2.)put the son in federal prison for protections 3.) eliminate the rest of the “downline” embeds being run by obamaumao for JoeBama , his 3rd term of criminal destruction of our Republic.
The country being run by an obamauamo “consortioum” Politburo of Pelousi, Schumer, the Senate and House Intel MONSTERS of the dems, and the clueless generally repubs doing nothing out of .... FEAR. Chaired in the WH by Susan Rice (ms. “muzzie video-Benghazi” liar in chief) and the wannabee never could have been voted in VP Jamaican/Indian whore Harris. What could go wrong-—this being all Constitutional NOT.
Will NO one representing our Constitution— DO SOMETHING about this? That is- do their jobs? Is Durham still special counsel and able to— and... will he? And NO- he does not have to hand off indictments to the DOJ— that is a complete bee ess proceduraly head fake falsehood- Mueller never did. It only require... BALLS. Use his power, Durham. For the good of our Republic.
And the Fibbies run by a HUGE criminal Chris Wray (Atlanta- mobbed up Holland and Knight .. “lawyer” who called and calls AntiFA and BLM as “ideas”-— NOT anti-US Terrorists).
No- the Lloyd Austin pentagon goes after, Lt. General FLYNN one more time. And Merrick Garland the never gonna be on the SCOTUS little a@@hole slavers over his pals in the DC circuit who refused to DISMISS the false case made against FLYNN— who tried to prosecute the case the DOJ dropped. That’s what the THINK should happen-— his PRE- Natl Security Advisor “JOB”-— which were ALL listed in his disclosure forms By the Way... and perfectly LEGAL— as they try to revive the CLINTONS invented Russia Russia.
While ALL OF THESE a@@holes line their pockets and prevent their exposure of themselves by .... pursuing the GOOD honest people.
They are ALL DUE a prosecution of their own— by people who will not need a trial.
