Flynn Revelations ‘Bigger Than Watergate’

I agree to a large extent. It's bad enough that you have a political party and many members out there that are corrupt and worked behind the scenes to screw Trump's presidency, set him up for Russian collusion, Ukraine.... and now Flynn. And again, now just not politics, you have the FBI and DOJ involved. The setting up here is by the highest of the high against a general! And the idiots put it in writing. :rolleyes:

Folks need to go to jail.

Flynn Revelations ‘Bigger Than Watergate’

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) stated that the recent revelations about former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s case are “bigger than Watergate and we need to make sure people are held accountable.”

McCarthy told host Sean Hannity that people need “a Congress that will work with them and work with this president. Because what you have talked about with Flynn and with the president is bigger than Watergate and we need to make sure people are held accountable.”

Joe Biden Struggles To Explain Why He Can’t Search Tara Reade’s Name In Delaware Records

Former Vice President Joe Biden struggled to answer questions Friday morning from “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski over his reluctance to release records contained in his Senate papers at the University of Delaware.

Brzezinski asked him why he can’t just search accuser Tara Reade’s name in the files. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said he would approve a search of the National Archives, but did not explain why he wouldn’t do so for his records at the University of Delaware.

Biden first attempted to defend his position by claiming that he did not want classified material related to his conversations with former President Barack Obama to be made public.

“The material in the University of Delaware has no personnel files, but it does have a lot of confidential conversations that I had with the president about a particular issue, that I had with the heads of state of other places, that that would not be something that would be revealed while I was in public office, or while I was seeking public office,” Biden said. “To the best of my knowledge, no one else has done that either.”

“I’m just talking about her name, not anybody else,” Brzezinski responded. “Nothing classified with the president or anybody else. I’m just asking why not do a search for Tara Reade’s name in the University of Delaware records.”

After a roughly five-second pause, Biden asked Brzezinski who she thought should conduct the search, while Brzezinski continued to press for transparency.

“Look, Mika, she said she filed a report,” Biden said. “She has her employment records still. She said she filed a report with the only office that would have a report in the United States Senate at the time. If a report was ever filed, it was filed there, period.”

The revelations may be bigger than Watergate, but lefties will not see anything wrong. It's like explaining to a dog that it is rude to defecate in front of people. When all roads must lead to communism, watergate level corruption is a meaningless detail.

Yeah, best we can hope for is that good people see how bad our institutions are. Keeping in mind that whatever one group does, the other may return.

Flynn Revelations May Lead to Disillusionment With Deep State, Not Retribution

...

What I want to underscore now is the extent to which the recent revelations, brought to us courtesy of the redoubtable Sidney Powell, Flynn’s new lawyer, has changed the game and is in the process of changing The Narrative. When the Department of Justice decided to drop the case against Flynn a few days ago, that was the signal that a sea change was taking place. It was like the execution of “Order 66” in the Star Wars saga (except that this time, it’s the good guys who are in charge).


Nervousness
If you sense a sudden chill in the air, an uncomfortable silence. it is because the usually insouciant Deep State actors from Barack Obama and James Comey on down have clearly got the message. Their lot are never called to account for their wrongdoing by the establishment for the very good reason that they are the establishment. They make the rules that we have to obey but that they may ignore with impunity.

Except that Attorney General William Barr has thrown a monkey wrench into their well-oiled machinery. Responding to the DOJ’s decision to dismiss the case against Flynn, James Comey nervously tweeted “The DOJ has lost its way. But, career people: please stay because America needs you. The country is hungry for honest, competent leadership.”


“Honest, competent leadership,” forsooth!


Also nervous was the Queen Bee, the spider at the center of this web of extralegal intrigue, Barack Obama. In a gesture that was almost comical in its clumsiness, a “private conversation” with aides was leaked.

Lo and behold, it was leaked to Michael Isikoff, the same Michael Isikoff who was the happy recipient of the leaked Steele Dossier way back before Robert Mueller began his Don Quixote-like quest to get Trump. Isikoff links to an audio of Obama’s stage-management remarks. Here is what the ex-President said:


“The news over the last 24 hours I think has been somewhat downplayed — about the Justice Department dropping charges against Michael Flynn. And the fact that there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk. And when you start moving in those directions, it can accelerate pretty quickly as we’ve seen in other places.”


This carefully rehearsed effort at Narrative Correction was brutally anatomized by the commentator and law professor Jonathan Turley. First, Turley points out, Flynn was not charged with perjury.


Second, we now know that Obama discussed charging Flynn under the Logan Act, an act that dates from 1799 that “has never been used successfully to convict anyone and is flagrantly unconstitutional.”


Moving on to understatement, Turley notes that Obama’s strategically leaked statement shows that he is “personally invested in this effort.” Finally, pace the ex-President’s claim, there is plenty of precedent for such dismissals. Turley cites a few.


He also points out this delicious bit of irony: “The Justice Department has dismissed cases in the past including the [Ted] Stevens case. That was requested by President Obama’s own Attorney General Eric Holder for the same reason: misconduct by prosecutors. It was done before the same judge [who heard Flynn’s case], Judge [Emmet] Sullivan. How is that for precedent?”

...

Will it be any different this time around? What if it were proved that Barack Obama knowingly had a hand in illegally framing Michael Flynn and the attempt to frame Donald Trump? What then? Do you expect he would be indicted?


Would Hillary Clinton, no matter what evidence were brought forward of felonious mishandling of classified material to say nothing of her fabricating a case against Donald Trump by feeding Russian-sourced disinformation to an eager press?


Would James Comey ever be held to account?


To ask these questions is to answer them. You would have to go far down the Democratic food chain—to a Peter Strzok or a Lisa Page—before you get to someone dispensable enough to be thrown under the bus.
