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 Brandon Van Grack, a top Justice Department prosecutor and former member of special counsel Bob Mueller’s team, was withdrawn from the Flynn case (indeed, many of his cases) earlier Thursday because he’d plainly abused his power by withholding bombshell evidence from the defense and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 bugger expose’ today was actually the capitulation by Schiff to release the 6,000 pages of closed door testimony by all the deep state coup plotters. These docs contain flat out admissions from Clapper on down that there never was an actual basis for the Russia probe going forward, meaning everything that came hence, including Flynn, was the fruit of the poisonous tree. None of that testimony made Mueller’s report, proving beyond a doubt it was a total sham.

CORRECTED

With the Justice Department moving to drop charges against Gen. Mike Flynn, pretty much the entire “RussiaGate” investigation stands exposed as a fraud.

The bigger expose’ today was actually the capitulation by Schiff to release the 6,000 pages of closed door testimony by all the deep state coup plotters. These docs contain flat out admissions from Clapper on down that there never was an actual basis for the Russia probe going forward, meaning everything that came hence, including Flynn, was the fruit of the poisonous tree.

Not to mention, they had illegally taped Flynn’ phone and had the transcripts if his phone call to the Russian ambassador which was perfectly legal. They had ZERO reason to interview Flynn apart from trying to set him up.

Their supposed legal angle was the Logan Act, despite Obama/staff breaking it before he took office, John Kerry now, it never being successfully prosecuted ever, or even mentioned in over 150 years, etc. That’s why they needed Mueller, to give them some legitimacy. But there was never enough evidence for him to be appointed, and once he was he should have quickly folded when he saw nothing was there. The coup plotters all started under Obama, but Sessions/Rosenstein helped keep Obama’s narrative alive.

Meanwhile, Christopher Wray is working feverishly to obstruct congress and provide cover for corrupt FBI agents.

Signs of a Trump Landslide to come . The Trump commercials almost write themselves. The Debates will be epic. Lots of people need to go to Jail—this also portends that Hillary will be VP pick—to keep the lady out of Jail.

1. Seth Rich of the DNC emailed WikiLeaks hundreds of times.
2. WikiLeaks revealed the emails that showed the DNC and the Clintons et Al to be traitors to this nation.
3. Clinton Cash reveals Hillary and their CGI was corrupt on so many levels that you can’t even keep count.
4. Hillary used a private email server to house classified information, and even had her “help” print copies of said classified materials.
5. Seth Rich was murdered.
6. Hillary lost the election at least partly due to all the proof of criminal activity released by WikiLeaks.
7. FBI Director Comey played being the US attorney or AG and usurped his position as lead investigator. In other words, he colluded with the Clintons.
8. Bill Clinton met with Loretta Lynch on a jet, with no other FBI agents allowed in.
9. Hillary lost the election because voters are not stupid bitter clingers or deplorables.
10. Podesta’s brother has known ties to Satanic-rituals, whilst Clinton visited pedophile island on numerous occasions.
11. Trump won the election fair and square. There’s nothing showing that any supposed Russian “collusion” effected how people voted. Even if the Russians were involved in leaking information to WikiLeaks—though even Assange has said that the Russians were not involved—who cares? It’s not about who leaked the info, it’s about what the info told the American people.
12. The Deep State is perpetrating a coup d’etat against the American People and their President, Donald J. Trump. This is called TREASON, and is punishable by death. (Just stating the facts. No threats are being made.)

Oh where is Miss Bugeye Farkas these days?

Perhaps, she can give a follow-up interview with Mika and Joe.

They didn’t need to tap Flynn’s phone. His phone conversation was under conventional surveillance by U.S. intelligence because KISLYAK’s phone was tapped.
