If there was any doubt that Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn was Target Zero in the Russia Collision conspiracy or that President Barack Obama was an active co-conspirator, presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway put those doubts to bed last week.

He was onto the Russia hoax and would be able to quickly identify all of the players.

Yup, sure sounds like it.

They simply used the circumstance of his travels to make up their story.

AG Barr’s been using the word “counter-intelligence” lately——here’s why.

On January 13th, 2017, a few days before Trump took Office, Obama issued an executive order saying ALL 17 US security agencies could have total access to each other. In other words, they were free to engage in collusion...and that’s exactly what they did.

Pres Obama’s maneuver of January 3, 2017-——his signing of NSA Data-Sharing Order Section 2.3 out of AG Lynch’s office ——is the coupe d’etat to blow out The Deep State. Obama’s original ex/order contains some unusual language particularly the convoluted language WRT “The Strategic Delay of Section 2.3 of Obama’s Executive Order 12333.”

NOTE WELL: Prior to the formal signing of Section 2.3, greater latitude ALREADY existed within the White House in regards to collection of information – especially in relation to the Trump Campaign.

However, once signed, Section 2.3 granted broad latitude to inter-agency sharing of information.

But by the time Obama’s new executive order was signed on January 3, 2017, all that information was already in the possession of Obama White House.

Thus, Susan Rice’s January 20, 2017 email to herself takes on an even greater significance b/c no one was ever supposed to know about the REAL meaning of Obama’s retroactive actions.....until Rice (who was to be replaced by Gen Flynn) stupidly laid it all out in an official email.

When Susan Rice stupidly wrote a memo to herself, she inadvertently confessed to a series of crimes that added the time line and inferences about what the outgoing Obama administration illegally concealed from incoming President Trump and his aides.

After-the-fact memos are rarely a good idea....they reveal things the author never intended——as did Susan Rice in her now-infamous email to herself on Trump’s inauguration day.


Obama puppet, Susan Rice (scared stiff her successor Gen Flynn would find the dirt) skipped down the Yellowbrick Road, along with the mental midgets of the Obama Administraton.

Obama’s FBI, DOJ, ODNI, CIA and intelligence officials flipped a finger at protocol....and even worse ....they were intentionally dishonest with incoming President Trump and key members of his new administration.

Obviously their lack of honesty was a serious issue.......but flipping off established protocol had serious ramifications.

This was a “justification memo”......outgoing National Security Advisor Susan Rice (to be replaced by Gen Flynn) needed to explain why there have been multiple false and misleading statements given to the incoming President Trump and all of his officials.

This is not a “CYA” memo, this is a justification memo for use AFTER the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy narrative collapsed; if the impeachment effort failed.

Her intellectually facile “By-The-Book” reference -refers to both she and then-President Obama being told by CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, that President host of crimes.

What people miss about Susan Rice and her need to write that last memo is her attempt to craft a record of a ‘COUNTER-INTEL’ operation that was ongoing and that Obama had instructed that everything be done ‘by the book’.

What THEY DONT DARE SAY is that during a counter-intel investigation, it is permissible to lie, or in official terms ‘to disseminate disinformation’.

As long as the Obama spying was characterized as a counter-intel operation, it was legal to have words and actions left in place that might be discovered as untrue.

In other words, Rice’s final memo was an attempt to carve out a last minute get-out-of-jail pass for all those involved in the spying.

Rice likely foresaw that Congressional hearings might uncover false and perjured statements on the part of persons in the spy operation to which the response would be “So what? It was a Counter-Intel operation.”

This is why it was IMPERATIVE for Barr and Durham to investigate the ORIGINS because if the origins revealed no predicate, no basis, no genuine probable cause for launching a counter-intel operation, then Rice’s feeble stay-out-of-jail memo would fall apart.

The old Beria quote fits in nicely: “Show me the man, and I’ll find the crime.”

If the government can take down Flynn, it can take down anyone it wants to.

I think the actions of Comey and co-conspirators are "levying war" against the United States. Certainly "adhering to their enemies". For what a coup d'état but an act of war by non-state actors; an attempted hostile takeover of the country.

Has there ever before in American history been a time when the outgoing President tried to undermine, subvert, or overthrow the incoming President?

Excellent take on the whole scenario. Fortunately, PDJT knew this early on. Simply going after the Russian Collusion farce would have validated that Get Out of Jail Free card.

Flynn may have been “targeted” by the Obama admin but he was prosecuted by the Trump admin with the full support of the GOP Senate.

Was Obama POTUS when Flynn was prosecuted by the Mueller Coup? No. It wasn’t Obama who threatened President Trump not to fire Sessions and vouched for Mueller. It was the GOP.

The ongoing coup against POTUS is provably bipartisan in nature. McCain was just as guilty as Obama of the issues you mention. We still don’t have the facts regarding the Congressional Gang of 8 in that period. Why is that? What is the GOP hiding?

How does Obama stand all spic and span, never knew anything about all this until he read it in the paper?

Makes me wonder how many others they’ve done this to?

Crimes were committed and I dare say sedition was one of them. So when can we expect prosecution? I think we all know that isn’t going to happen ever. It would take a revolution to bring these evil doers to justice.

Barack Obama was an active co-conspirator in just about everything anti Trump action and he’s still at it media winks.
