“In May of 2017 there was a document identified to a small number of people in the United States government.
It’s in the possession of the Defense Intelligence Agency. For eighteen months there’s been an effort to resist declassifying that document. I know that that document contains extraordinary, exculpatory information about General Flynn.
I don’t believe the President has ever been told about the existence of this document. One lawmaker discovered it, but he was thwarted by the Defense Intelligence Agency in his ability to disclose it.
I think we all should ask for that declassification, get that out. It may enlighten the Judge. It will certainly enlighten the American public.”
So we are full circle back to where we were in March of 2017. We noted what Devin said and guessed at what he saw, and pretty much knew the truth all this time. This is why we are all so frustrated with the amount of time it’s taking to clean up this mess.
DIA....listen to me. You are our last hope. We have lost all faith in the CIA, the FBI, and practically every other branch of government. I ask you, what is worse exposing methods that every other country knows about or betraying a man like Michael Flynn......and all of us.
If we don’t believe in you any more what is your purpose?
Aside from the fact Solomon cites no evidence for is his contention, the FISA 702 process is not the issue.
The issue is that the US Intel agencies go far, far beyond 702 legal authority and collect ALL electronic communication, domestic and foreign.
And in doing so, all involved are committing felonies. Felonies that carry severe penalties.
Of course, there are many statists here on FR that are OK with that and see it as necessary to protect the nation.
I see it as felonious conduct against the American people and would, literally, hang each and every person involved.
Nonsense. Look at this in context. Someone gave this information to Solomon, no doubt in conjunction with the directive from Judge Sullivan that by 3 PM today he wants to see all the information from the FBI and Flynn about Flynn's allegations contained in his legal plea re sentencing. There is a certain urgency contained in Solomon's revelation. Whoever revealed this information to him wants to alert the President about the existence of the exculpatory information.
Sundance did a pretty good analysis on CTH. John Solomon Drops a Tick-Tock Bombshell – DIA Holds Documents That Can Exonerate Flynn…
And again, if these sources are so great (and apparently well placed) - WHY is this not taken straight to THE person who could make a difference? WHY has this not been given to the judge in camera to clear Flynn? For that matter, if it has been known since May of 2017 - WHY hasn't Flynn himself demanded that the information the Government supposedly has be entered as evidence? If it exists, the government would have to either provide it to the judge OR drop the case.
Read the CTH article. It answers your questions.
But no, SUPER SECRET secrets are secret to everyone except select SUPER SECRET people and Solomon. As I said earlier - I'm tired of these supposed revelations that never lead to anything.
Everyone is frustrated as to why Trump has not released the unredacted FISA application, the Ohr 302s, and all of the Page-Strzok texts. Members of the Freedom Caucus believe he will at some point. Is Trump waiting until the Mueller investigation is finished? Or he is waiting for the IG report and the announcement of ongoing criminal investigations? Who knows. Obviously, Trump has more information as to what is going on. He is constantly dropping hints about how bad the situation is.
We do know that Comey, Clapper, and Brennan have gone batsh*t crazy with their insane tweets and threats. They also must know what is happening. Hillary's reaction to Trump at the Bush 41 funeral was another indication that something is going on behind the scenes. The MSM has gone off the deep end given the recent Cohen revelations. Is this an orchestrated, desperate effort by Deep State to get rid of Trump or batter him before the real truth comes out.
There is no doubt that this is the biggest political scandal in our history. The Obama administration, Deep State, and the MSM are all implicated. It really could be a Constitutional crisis.
Some time ago Sharyl Attkisson, another real journalist who had a firsthand experience with Deep State, said that the real story is the decades long abuses of the Intel Community who have been using their technology to spy and control the American public illegally. While I am no fan of Snowden, he is the one who mentioned "turnkey tyranny" to describe the dangers of the capability of existing technology to subvert our democracy and individual freedom. The means exists to do that. All it takes is a person or group of people to employ it. The recent disclosures about Google, Facebook, and Twitter show how insidious this all is. Google met with the Obama administration an average of once a week for the entire 8 years of Obama's presidency. Given the political leanings of these tech companies that control our information and social media, Big Brother may already be here.
Trump is almost by himself doing battle with the Swamp and its denizens. It involves power and trillions of dollars. As an outsider, who can Trump trust? And what efforts are being made to take him and his family down including his business? Nancy Pelosi has said one of the first things she will do is to obtain Trump's tax returns. The new NY AG has declared that she is going after Trump and his business. The stakes are very high for Trump and our Republic.
That makes no sense whatsoever. A high level government official (I assume in DIA) tells a reporter all of this and NOT the President as said report on Hannity will "alert" the President?
Read the CTH article. It answers your questions.
I did earlier (after ignoring yet another BOMBSHELL claim)- it is full of conjecture. And they only claim to know why it has not been declassified. It does not answer the questions:
WHY is this not taken straight to THE person who could make a difference?
WHY has this not been given to the judge in camera to clear Flynn?
WHY hasn't Flynn himself demanded that the information the Government supposedly has be entered as evidence?
As an outsider, who can Trump trust?
According to your reasoning, he should trust an anonymous leak of a fantastic claim to a journalist.
Solomon said that DIA held the document and has resisted the declassification and disclosure of the document. A "lawmaker" learned of the existence of the document and was thwarted by DIA to disclose it. How he was thwarted was not mentioned. Solomon said he does not believe the President knows about the document. Listen to exactly what Solomon said in the CTH link I provided.
Do I find that unbelievable? No, as someone who has spent 36 years working for the federal government including at the SES level, and understands how the bureaucracy works, there is much that those at the top, especially political appointees, don't know about what is going on in their organizations.
Who are the gatekeepers that control the information that goes into the Oval Office? Do they have Trump's best interests at heart or are they protecting Deep State? Would they want the President to know if they thought that Mueller was working on an obstruction of justice case against Trump re Flynn? What would should the President do if he learns about the document? What kind of advice will he receive from his legal counsel and DIA, who have intentionally withheld this information? We don't know what Trump does and does not know.
WHY is this not taken straight to THE person who could make a difference? WHY has this not been given to the judge in camera to clear Flynn? WHY hasn't Flynn himself demanded that the information the Government supposedly has be entered as evidence?
Lot of questions. If the document is as highly classified as indicated and involves a major intelligence program that needs to remain secret, who could authorize disclosure of the information to the President if he is not aware of its existence? Should it be given to the judge who is probably not cleared to receive such information? Does Flynn know about the existence of the document, which presumably came about after Flynn left as head of DIA in August 2014?
According to your reasoning, he should trust an anonymous leak of a fantastic claim to a journalist.
If Trump does not know about the existence of the document, the first thing he should do is to verify the claim. Trust but verify. There are good guys with the government who have been acting as whistle-blowers. They use the MSM the same way the bad guys do. In the case of the good guys, people like Solomon, Carter, and others, can be trusted to keep their identities secret. The good guys don't run to the NYT or the WP.
I have been following Solomon for some time. He is what real journalism is all about. He is writing now for The Hill, which is not a conservative publication. He has also worked for the WP as an investigative reporter and for the AP for 20 years rising to Assistant Bureau Chief in Washington. He has extensive experience as a journalist. Solomon has taken lots of heat from the liberal media for his stories on the attempted coup of Trump. It is a classic case of killing the messenger for the message.
I shall wait until he actually reports soem facts instead of making extraordinary claims to knowledge and contacts.
He reported facts as relayed to him by trusted sources. You just don’t believe him or his sources. So be it. We will just agree to disagree.

I understand your point of view.

You come to a lot of false/ignorant/presumptuous conclusions.
If you EVER posted a thread you would know that there is a 100 character limit for a title. That was indicated to me as I first posted it, so I took out the ridiculous "Boom" and a couple other small things.
Take a nap..... and quit making stupid claims.

ps -- If you read my post # 1 you will SEE the original unaccepted/too long title. I even took the "Boom" out of that title in post # 1 because I don't like "Boom" either.
