With the vindication of Michael Flynn, we must pursue the malfeasance at every level of the Department of Justice. Last week the Department of Justice dropped the criminal case against President Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, tossing out a prosecution based on a scandal that wasn’t: Trump/Russia collusion. Special counsel Robert Mueller was aggressively using the case against Flynn in hopes of pressuring the decorated Army general to give up the goods on his boss, Donald Trump. To the dismay of many in the Washington, D.C., establishment, there were no goods.

When Bubba's side lost the Nov 1994 mid-term Congressional Electoral majority to the GOP, I was watching Washington Week in Review led by Ken Bode, the way Russians under the Soviets read Pravda or the way we now watch the lamestream media to detect various currents in the Dem breakdown from derangement to self-cannibalism. After Bode summarized the 1994 Mid-Term GOP Blood Bath against the Dem majority, Bode & the panelists couldn't say anything for about 10 seconds, they just sat looking at one another like they expected Young Republicans to be breaking into the studio to bash their heads...

In a Sunday interview on New York 970 radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Rudy Giuliani, personal legal counsel for President Donald Trump, weighed in on the Department of Justice’s decision to drop charges against former National Security Adviser Ret. Gen. Michael Flynn after new evidence came to light showing FBI agents attempted to entrap Flynn into lying to them. Giuliani said former CIA Director John Brennan, along with former FBI Director James Comey, orchestrated the Deep State’s attempt to take down Trump, which he described as “as close to treason as you can get.” “This is now an inexperienced prosecutor’s hypothesis...

...Scavino, Trump’s right-hand man and the keeper of his social media, changed his Twitter bio and fingered Obama in the #SpyGate scandal, calling him out for spying on the Trump campaign. SAVAGE! Get ready folks, the Deep State house of cards is falling and justice is coming…you can feel it in the air!

“It was an easy decision,” Barr said in an interview with CBS News, which aired Friday. He added: “I think easy because once I saw all the facts and some of the tactics used by the FBI in this instance and also the legal problems with the case, it was an easy decision.” Documents from the FBI’s investigation of Flynn show that Comey “purposely went around the Justice Department” in an effort to interview Flynn about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador, Barr said.

It seems the only ones who still think ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is guilty of anything are the usual suspects: anti-Trump clowns. Forget the politically motivated charges against Flynn, these folks are simply ignoring the horrific deviations from policy here and the heinous acts of overreach conducted by the FBI to scalp a Trump official because they so desperately wanted Russian collusion to be true. The FBI stumbled into this mess and instead of putting out the fire, they decided to pour gasoline on it. This Flynn fiasco shows the lengths at which the FBI will go to ensure...

Susan Rice's bizarre Inauguration Day email about that meeting helps explain the campaign of leaks, lies, and obstruction that followed. Information released in the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case it brought against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn confirms the significance of a January 5, 2017, meeting at the Obama White House. It was at this meeting that Obama gave guidance to key officials who would be tasked with protecting his administration’s utilization of secretly funded Clinton campaign research, which alleged Trump was involved in a treasonous plot to collude with Russia, from being discovered or stopped by the incoming...

President Donald Trump slammed former FBI Director James Comey on Fox & Friends Friday, calling him “dumb as a rock” and saying that “there’s something wrong with him.”   “You don’t have Clapper, and Brennan, who’s sleaze, and a guy like Comey, who’s a sick man, I mean Comey’s a sick man. He played it so cute with Hillary. He was trying to play it cute. He was trying to help her. And, ultimately, he might have hurt her. He was trying to help her so much that he might have ended up hurting her,” Trump said.He continued, “And he’s just a stupid guy. He’s dumb...

Former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe slammed the Justice Department’s decision to drop its case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn on charges he lied to the FBI about his contacts with Russians. “The DOJ has lost its way. But, career people: please stay because America needs you. The country is hungry for honest, competent leadership,” Comey tweeted. McCabe said in a statement Flynn had “high level interactions with Russian officials” who he “actively tried to influence.” He also said Flynn had lied about the substance of his talks with Russian officials. “His...

James Comey @Comey The DOJ has lost its way. But, career people: please stay because America needs you. The country is hungry for honest, competent leadership.

A "good friend" of former FBI Director James Comey said the bureau's current chief "should be careful" about criticizing its old leadership. Benjamin Wittes, who is the editor-in-chief of Lawfare, reacted late Tuesday to an FBI statement defending Director Christopher Wray as he faces pressure from Republicans to answer for what they view as a lack of transparency about the Russia investigation. "Chris Wray should be careful before issuing statements like this about 'prior leadership' to check the dates on the FISA applications that the IG examined in his most recent interim report," Wittes tweeted. Wittes was referring to recent...

The time has come to cease affording the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane team generous benefit of the doubt. A steady stream of unflattering revelations, beginning with a report by the Justice Department's inspector general into egregious FISA abuses last December, has relentlessly pounded the reputation of my former agency. Now, further irrefutable proof emerges that a small cabal of FBI headquarters decision-makers was hellbent on undoing a presidency. ... one thing is clear. Michael Flynn got railroaded. ...

What do the people Eisenhower warned us about in his Military/Industrial Complex speech, expect to get out of deceiving us, that they don't already have? This is not advocacy, this is a question, that one of our members has the answer to: Why is it so important that they get us to believe lies? What do they expect to get out of it, that they can't get if we at least understand the broader outlines of the true strategic picture that they control anyway? Nikolai Yezhov (right) oversaw the executions of more than half a million Soviet citizens during the...

A former CIA operative argued former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan should be put to death over their roles in the Russia investigation. Bryan Dean Wright reacted Saturday to the FBI’s treatment of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, which was detailed in a cache of FBI records unsealed late Wednesday. The records disclosed new information about how the FBI planned to interview President Trump’s national security adviser and whether the goal was to get Flynn to tell the truth or catch him in a lie so that he could be charged with a crime...

Previously withheld FBI documents related to the Agency's case against Gen. Michael Flynn were uncovered this week. On the one hand, exculpatory evidence that had been denied to Flynn's attorneys was revealed. On the other hand, an illegal plot designed to entrap the General was documented. James Comey, FBI Director at the time these illegal actions were taken, maintains that "these were standard procedures. When the Agency has an opportunity to take down a bad guy, every option to accomplish the job is in play. We brainstormed a few ideas, got the okay on a course of action from President...

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Attorney for Connecticut John Durham has reviewed the bombshell files released earlier this week showing FBI officials discussed whether they wanted to interview Michael Flynn in order to “get him to lie,” sources familiar with his investigation told Fox News, as the document drop renews attention on his probe of the law enforcement community's Russia case. Sources even said charges could be justified against officials, and that those reviewing the Justice Department and the FBI's actions are building a "serious case." Durham and Attorney General Bill Barr are said to be speaking regularly. “Durham has seen all of...

After meeting with Barack Obama on Jan. 5, James Comey set up Donald Trump with a potential extortion threat using the fake Russian dossier.

If there was ever any question about the dishonesty and corruption that poisoned the case against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, newly released documents erase all doubt. For more than three years, the FBI and federal prosecutors concealed exculpatory evidence proving that the retired Army lieutenant general and former National Security Adviser committed no crimes. James Comey’s FBI knew it, and special counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors knew it. They didn’t care. An innocent man could be sacrificed. In their zeal to damage President Trump, Comey and his confederates devised a devious scheme in January of 2017 to target and frame Flynn....
