Ex-Trump spy chief Richard Grenell says Biden helped target Michael Flynn
NYPOST.COM ^ | 8/26/20 | Steven Nelson

Trump's ex-acting intelligence director Richard Grenell accused Democrat Biden of scheming to take down Trump’s first national security adviser. “Former VP Biden asked intelligence officials to uncover the hidden information on Trump’s incoming NSA [Gen Michael Flynn] three weeks before the inauguration,” Grenell said.....referencing revelations by Flynn’s legal team of disgraced ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok's note.

The 1/4/17 note implicates Biden in selecting the Logan Act as a rationale for keeping active an investigation the FBI was prepared to close. “VP: ‘Logan Act’,” the note written by Strzok says.

Grenell condemned Obama’s inquiry. “I saw Democrats’ entire case for Russian collusion. And what I saw made me sick to my stomach. The Obama-Biden admin secretly launched a surveillance operation on the Trump campaign and silenced those who spoke up against it. They presented bogus information as facts. They lied to judges. Then classified anything that undermined their case,” Grennell said.

“And after Donald Trump won, when they should have continued the American tradition of helping the president-elect transition into the White House, they tried instead to undercut him even more.”

The Logan Act was invoked to continue the investigation of Flynn because the Trump adviser had multiple calls with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in late 2016, made with the knowledge of other incoming Trump officials.

Days into Trump’s presidency, Strzok and Obama FBI Director James Comey skirted protocol and interviewed Flynn without permission from Justice Department leaders or give notice to WH counsel.

Flynn says he did not intentionally lie and the Trump Justice Department is seeking to drop the case, arguing the FBI had no basis to question him.

DOJ's IG last year found “significant inaccuracies and omissions” in court requests to monitor former Trump adviser Carter Page......an ex-FBI lawyer this month pleaded guilty to falsifying records.

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.

When the IG report came out last December, Durham issued the following comment:

“I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff. However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department," Durham said. "Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”

Hat tip to Townhall for the reminder:

Not only is Biden “the candidate” he’s the chosen candidate. Despite his near-50 year record of ineffectiveness, his track record of greasing the skids of the Delaware-based big banks, his constant gaffs which reveal he is a very dull knife and his obvious-to-all worsening mental deficiencies.

Biden was chosen, so he is fair game in all respects.

If he gets a majority in the House and in the Senate he will have lots more muscle. He is also growing a new Republican party and bringing in former Democrats. Every day more and more people are getting red pilled. They see that our nation has been corrupt for a long time and we need to give it a good house cleaning.

I’m certain he did. Biden is a fascist.
