Collapse of Michael Flynn case is latest sign ‘RussiaGate’ was a complete fraud
NY Post ^ | May 07 2020 | Post Editorial Board

With the Justice Department moving to drop charges against Gen. Mike Flynn, pretty much the entire “RussiaGate” investigation stands exposed as a fraud. But will any of the witch-hunters pay?

Lefties are already claiming that Attorney General William Barr is simply playing politics, but the facts say otherwise. Brandon Van Grack, a top Justice Department prosecutor and former member of special counsel Bob Mueller’s team, was withdrawn from the Flynn case (indeed, many of his cases) earlier Thursday because he’d plainly abused his power by withholding bombshell evidence from the defense and the court.

Flynn’s supposed crime was lying to FBI agents in a January 2017 interview at the White House. Yet the concealed evidence included 1) a top FBI official’s notes suggesting the entire purpose of the interview was to catch Flynn in a lie, or get him to admit to a technical violation of the Logan Act — all in order to force him from office. And 2) an internal Justice Department memo, from the day before that interview, calling on the FBI to close the Flynn investigation because agents had dug up absolutely no wrongdoing.

The left claims Bush fabricated Sadaam’s WMDs to get us into a war....but they could never prove it was anything more than an intelligence failure.

Here, we have a PROVEN fabrication by the left in order to undermine a candidate who became the sitting POTUS.

“Christopher Wray is working feverishly to obstruct”

That smarmy, smirking turd should hang on the gallows along side of his co-conspirators.

There’s a neat limited series on Netflix called I-land. It’s about prisoners on an island with their memories erased. Apropos for the band of traitors.

Congress doesn’t prosecute anyone, they hold feckless hearings.

The United States Government is the fraud. Only a national split, either voluntarily or by force, fixes this disaster.

NY Post is usually at least OK - it is the New York Daily News that is rabid fake news.

This. The media will go into overdrive to protect him, but we need to dig for the truth. There's no honor among 'rats, so with enough pressure someone will begin talking.

There’s probably a case for malfeasance and violation of Covington’s fiduciary responsibilities to Flynn.

I think a cool $1,000,000,000 would be good start.

Then Flynn should follow up with personal lawsuits against Obama, Biden, Clinton, Comey, McCabe, Strozk, Page, Rice, Yates, Bruce & Nellie Orr, Priestap, Steel, and anybody else involved with this. They should all be bankrupted instead of making millions.

You expect Wray to work with POS like Schiff and other members of Congress?

Ordinarily, more than any other NY paper, but of late they've been joining in with Trump-bashing.
