There’s a reason why you haven’t heard much from Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn lately. The man who served his country honorably for 33 years has been effectively silenced by special counsel Robert Mueller as he awaits sentencing. Given the circumstances of his plea deal, Flynn cannot speak publicly about anything related to the charges against him. Doing so could void his plea agreement with Mueller’s team and open him up to further legal proceedings that he is financially unable to defend himself against. Flynn, who has worked his entire career on a government salary, has spent over one million dollars...

Very brief excerpt because a Drudge link to NY Post article: A secretive Washington firm that commissioned the dubious intelligence dossier on Donald Trump is stonewalling congressional investigators trying to learn more about its connections to the Democratic Party.

A Nebraska Democratic Party official was ousted Thursday after audio recording surfaced of him making offensive remarks about U.S. Rep Steve Scalise. Phil Montag, former co-chair of the state party's technology committee, said he wished Scalise was dead. Montag was relieved of his volunteer duties after Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb received audio recording of Montag's comments obtained by The World-Herald. "Wishing a Member of Congress or any individual dead is disgusting and has no place in our party," Kleeb said. In an interview Thursday, Montag said he was "horrified" by the shooting of Scalise and all gun violence...

Video at link Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Thursday lambasted “media hysteria” linking President Trump with Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. “Countless media articles falsely claimed the President was under investigation for colluding with Russia,” he said on the Senate floor. “And, unfortunately, a number of our Democrat colleagues in the House and Senate played right along,” the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman added. “Over and over again, the media published selective leaks. They published classified half-truths. All this was used to make false allegations sinister conduct by the President. And a lot of people believed it.” Grassley additionally...

Snip snip... Worth your while to go to link!!! There was just one fact missing from his narrative: Exactly one decade earlier it was McCain’s own presidential campaign that was being roiled by concerns of possible Russian influence in his own inner circle

In this special bonus We The People podcast episode, we explore the legal and constitutional issues surrounding President Donald Trump’s handling of the Russia probe. As all the nation knows at this point, former FBI Director James Comey is scheduled to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee this Thursday, June 8, at 10 a.m. Comey was abruptly fired by the President on May 9, the reasons for which are under dispute. There are also reports that suggest the President tried to pressure federal officials, including Comey, into ending the Russia probe and related investigations. So, the question on the table...

Former FBI director James Comey is formally refusing to answer questions submitted to him by a bipartisan group of senators, suggesting he no longer must do so as a private citizen. Comey sent an email from his private account last week rebuffing the seven questions that had been submitted to him by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley and the committee’s ranking Democrat Dianne Feinstein after Comey’s final testimony as FBI director to the panel last month. Comey was fired by President Donald Trump shortly after his appearance. Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., joined in the request...

This is something to consider. I think it would be wonderful if we could all honor the President on his birthday on June 14, 2017 by not posting any garbage "news" and/or "smears" for one day. Instead, we could post birthday celebration pictures and things that are positive such as comments of appreciation. The President will be 71 years old. Please consider. Thank you. Joan.

The accusation that President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with the Russians, and that he is trying to cover it up, looks increasingly like a classic Russian disinformation campaign — one designed to bring down the only president since the Cold War who has actually been willing to confront Russia in any meaningful way. It is an article of faith on the left that Russia wanted Trump to win the election because Vladimir Putin anticipated a more pliant approach, signaled by Trump’s explicit desire to negotiate a better relationship. But the Russians may just as well have preferred Hillary Clinton,...

An Open Letter to Senator Charles Schumer Sen. Schumer, I don't live in your constituency but in the larger picture, you live in mine and every other legal, taxpaying American citizen who is affected by the power you hold in your political party, your blind allegiance to it and the obstructionist posture to anything that doesn't directly benefit it. There's something sinister about seeing you bent over the lectern in the Senate Chamber, your countenance resembling what I would imagine Edgar Allen Poe's would look like reciting one of his macabre tales of doom and gloom, as if there is...

DEVELOPING STORY ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The FBI confirms agents are executing a search warrant at an office of a GOP fundraiser/consulting firm in Annapolis, the 11 News I-Team has learned. The investigation is being run out of Washington, not locally, the I-Team has learned.

Even absent Hillary Clinton’s latest bleat about how he cost her the election, FBI director James Comey’s testimony on Wednesday at a routine oversight hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee was certain to be anything but routine. And sure enough, Comey mounted a vigorous defense of his letter of October 28, 2016 — eleven days before Election Day — in which he informed Congress that the Clinton e-mails investigation had been reopened. Director Comey did nevertheless allow that he was made “mildly nauseous” by the suggestion that his letter affected the vote’s outcome. Several features of the hearing were especially...

Why the Obama Justice Department avoided the grand jury . . . until it had no choice On the matter of the 2016 election, why is there an investigation into Russian meddling but no investigation of Justice Department meddling? The latter effort was more extensive. And it sure looks like it would be a lot easier to prove. This week, courtesy of Judicial Watch, we learned that the Obama Justice Department and the FBI did, in fact, use the grand jury in the Clinton e-mails probe. Or, to be more accurate, they fleetingly used grand-jury subpoenas, which were issued to...

President Donald Trump said Thursday he's pressing for a full investigation into the intelligence leaks that led to the ouster of former National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and Circa can confirm that one of the agencies that they’re looking at is the Department of Justice. The scope of persons and agencies that would have had access to the information contained in the transcribed phone calls is relatively small and would include DOJ officials as well, several U.S. officials told Circa.

The abrupt resignation Monday evening of White House national security adviser Michael Flynn is the culmination of a secret, months-long campaign by former Obama administration confidantes to handicap President Donald Trump's national security apparatus and preserve the nuclear deal with Iran, according to multiple sources in and out of the White House who described to the Washington Free Beacon a behind-the-scenes effort by these officials to plant a series of damaging stories about Flynn in the national media. The effort, said to include former Obama administration adviser Ben Rhodes—the architect of a separate White House effort to create what he...
