Scary sh*t in America. We could have wiped this all out so many times before by extermination Communism after we took care of Japan. War weary America let the disease spread and gave Communism so much room and ability to fester.

If we can’t trust our intelligence and law enforcement agencies, whom can we trust?


The IRS?

More at the original source

Longtime Republican politico K.T. McFarland said in a radio interview Wednesday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team pressured her for “20, 30, 40 hours of hell” to either cop a plea or implicate other Trump associates in crimes, even though she didn’t think she or they did anything wrong.

McFarland, who served a four-month stint under Trump’s short-lived national security adviser Michael Flynn, was ensnared in Mueller’s dragnet after leaving the administration in May 2017.

She described the “trauma” she experienced at the hands of Mueller’s interrogators in November of 2017, during an interview on WMAL radio in Washington DC.

McFarland said that she was at a disadvantage when she was being questioned because she no longer had access to her White House files.

“I am the original girl scout,” the former deputy national security adviser explained. “I followed all the rules, I turned in all of my files and my phone logs and my test messages and emails when I left government, didn’t leak to the press.”

Unfortunately, she said, “playing by the rules” is what got her “in so much trouble.”

“When the Mueller people came knocking at my door, they started quizzing me on stuff that I didn’t have access to and didn’t remember 100 percent accurately, and it allowed them to say, ‘well you must be lying then,’” McFarland told WMAL hosts Vince Coglianese and Mary Walter.

Walter asked McFarland why she wasn’t in the same position as Flynn, who ended up pleading guilty to a crime he didn’t commit (after Mueller threatened to bring criminal charges against his son). She replied: “because I didn’t break.”

“They gave me the distinct impression after … 20, 30, 40 hours of hell that they wanted me to either plead guilty to a crime I didn’t feel I committed, or to talk about other people having done things that I didn’t think they had done,” she explained. .....

Question is: Why? Why did they try to force her to lie in order to harrass/remove a duly elected POTUS?

Are they hiding something?

Even if they are angry about Trump's election, it doesn't make sense that they are acting so desperate.

Because President Trump (will NEVER tire of writing that) said he was going to drain the swamp, and THEY'RE THE SWAMP!!

And then I had our agents tell her, "Well, you must be lying then!"

Inside Mueller’s FBI team

FBI special agent Omer Meisel, who is a member of Mueller's Russia investigation team, drives into the garage of the U.S. District Court in Washington

Having FBI agents on hand obviates the need for any prosecutor to testify about what was said, but in the current probe also serves a second purpose: providing someone who could testify even if Mueller’s whole prosecution team were removed and replaced. Said one former federal prosecutor, who asked not to be named: “If anything happens to the special counsel, the bureau will still be there.”

I have read that up to 40 FBI agents worked for Mueller's team. And guess what? They are still "at work."

“[There are] a certain group of people who have gotten used to governing and they think it is their divine right,” McFarland told WMAL, as reported by The Tennessee Star.And because they refuse to release the reins of control and bend to voter will, or even recognize the rights contained in the Constitution, LIKE DUE PROCESS and limited government and the concept of representative government, America is in “a very dangerous place,” McFarland said.

Lavrentiy Beria was clumsy and crude, compared to our FBI.

They are in the highest levels of our Government. They call themselves Democrats.

It would be nice if this were the truth, but it is nearly all incumbents who are elected, appointed, or just hired to manage an agency or bureaucracy. Big government is fully in charge. We currently have a President who makes motions at change, but nothing substantial will change.It is like power washing the excrement off of the sidewalks of San Fransicko, but the next bum squats immediately after the concrete drys.

This is exactly what war is. You lay waste to your enemies resources until he can no longer operate effectively or support his self and his physical needs. The target sues for peace and grovels in hopes that the aggressor will relent.

The truth is, in the US we are just as free as men in cell block 19. We can walk around the yard, do our work, but we are still prisoners with limits to our speech, our actions and soon to be disarmed. Yet we do nothing but make noises of complaints. If you want freedom, you must take it. It is not a gift, yet we still ask nicely to be respected. Once a nation of strong men and women, we are now nothing but clients of a currently generous bureaucracy.

Durham better produce some results, and we must continue to throw the bums out!

Here’s a point I haven’t seen mentioned. It looks to me like the current AG is simply another weasel like Sessions, only a little smarter because he’s figured out that he can put the blame on President Trump for his own failure to indict any of the swamp creatures. That suggests to me that he also is one of those creatures. And also, I’ve noticed that deGenova and his wife, two of Barr’s staunchest supporters, have quietly disappeared from the nightly FOX lineup of guests.

Makes sense if you consider that many (or most) of the high-level swamp dwellers are not simply afraid of losing their cushy positions, but are terrified that they may lose their freedom as well if their crimes are exposed by the Trump regime.
