Excellent post, rlmorel.
Keep it handy so you don’t have to rewrite it when the usual suspects post the same article from another liberal source.
It is disappointing. Of all the attitudes that disillusion and anger me, it is people who say Flynn was “obviously guilty” because he pleaded guilty, is one that affects me the most.
Those people seem to have no conception of the power of a tyrannical government when it is turned against a citizen who has no power against it, particularly a weaponized government with bottomless pockets and infinite time. They can’t be outfought, outspent, or waited out.
He was set up by a plotting government to whom he was a danger.
He had to sell his house to meet his legal expenses. His son with a new infant child was threatened with prosecution on baseless charges by a corrupt Leftist deep state out for a scalp, and would stop at nothing to get it. He finally was forced to plead guilty because he could no longer fight.
The charges eventually were dropped because documents showing agents (Bill Priestap) discussing his interview with Comey and McCabe, saying “What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”
Take this in light of Comey being interviewed, with the cow-like liberal audience laughing when Comey told them-actually discussed it aloud in public, that he deliberately set up Flynn and Trump by sending FBI agents over to set up Flynn without arranging for the presence of White House Counsel, acting like they were on his side and just wanted to clear up some loose ends, all the time with the intention of setting him up.
And Flynn, thinking they were all playing on the same team, not perceiving the evil intent, innocently invited them in.
And these execrable dipsticks say Flynn deserved what he got.
And Trump deserved what he got.
And Jackson deserved what HE got.
It makes me angry. The people on this forum are just as culpable as any dedicated Leftist in the evil befalling our country as using the organs of government to persecute American citizens becomes overlooked, denied, normalized, and then accepted. These assholes completely support this.
Their only defense is that they might be too lazy or ignorant to learn the facts, know the facts, or accept the facts of these things. But they persist and stick with their ignorance just the same.
And yes. It makes me damn angry.
