Translation: The Left's political jig is up. How, oh HOW, will the DNC's media outlets and sundry apologists spin this one?
It's been brought out many times that his son was threatened by the feds if he did not admit to a crime that he was innocent to.
~ I believe that is likely what we are seeing. Bits and pieces a little at a time. If Durham is actually doing his job things could get exciting. ~ The FBI lied to Pence.
It's almost as if NOTHING connects to anything else with some of these apologists. She turned on Comey because otherwise it's her little rump on the legal line due to the various things that she did and authorized when ANYONE with ethics would not have done so.
~ I think the entire "crew" is in the same predicament. Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Comey, Rosenstein, Strzok, McCabe all have unanswered questions to answer .
She didn't "turn" on Comey. She allowed Graham to characterize Comey's actions. What did Graham mean by "going rogue"? Was it the same thing she took it to mean? That's pretty weak tea considering she said the investigation was legitimate and also said this ""Interviewing General Flynn was really right at the core of the FBI's investigation at this point to try to discern, what are the ties between the Trump administration and the Russians?" she said, adding that there was a "risk" Flynn would be compromised"
Yates said there was no Obama administration sirveilence of the Yrump administration. Sen. Kennedy of LA tried to trick Yates by asking her if she was "part of the group to do anything to stop " Trump from being POTUS- Yates there was no such group so she could be part of a group that did not exist. https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/05/politics/sally-yates-testimony-capitol-hill/index.html
Weren't they supposed to impeach Trump over this Russia stuff? Oh yeah they decided to do it over a phone call instead.
Fake News. He did not lie and the entire investigation was a pretext. Seems like some folks are catching on at a bidenesque pace.
There’s nothing to spin. She accepted that Comey “went rogue” on the process, but also said the substance of the investigation was legitimate. She said Barr’s interference in the DOJ’s decision to drop charges against Flynn was highly irregular. She said Obama didn’t interfere in the investigation. Overall, her evidence is that this was a good, valid, legitimate investigation but Comey didn’t follow the correct procedure in one respect. Big deal.
Very True. And have you noticed? Trump is REALLY struggling to find any coherent talking points (beyond false and thoroughly discredited fake narratives). Trump is getting totally OWNED, and he doesn't know where to turn. At this point, he is like a Mentally-Deranged Loco Mosquito (flying around in circles looking for a place to land). Donald Trump?
The charges are dropped because the FBI wasn’t carrying out a legitimate investigation: there wasn’t any basis for suspecting Flynn of criminal wrongdoing, and the FBI wasn’t proceeding in good faith.
The curious case of Obama administration’s monitoring of Donald Trump and his campaign — as well as into the abuse of FISA-surveillance powers continues to be exposed. Yates, acting attorney general was present at the important January 5, 2017, Oval Office meeting, when she and the FBI’s then-director, James Comey, met with President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Susan Rice. The meeting was called to construct a scheme to hide the Trump-Russia investigation — what’s now often called “Russiagate” because of its similarity to Watergate-era domestic spying, part of what led to President Nixon’s resignation to stave off impeachment - from the Trump Administration. Obama and Comey had no hesitation about discussing with Yates the absurd suggestion of charging Flynn under the Logan Act and the plan to withhold information from the incoming Trump administration. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/08/what-to-make-of-sally-yatess-senate-testimony/
I'll break this down first with Comey's admission. Comey admitting he F'ed Flynn and the crowd loved it. starts @ 14.30 The framework for the investigation itself was centered around Michael Flynn violating FARA (Foreign Agent Registration Act) laws based on a fraudulent premise of Flynn working for Russian interests. The FBI using FARA is a critical point. FARA was used as the primary justification by the DOJ and FBI for all political surveillance. The FBI Washington Field Office says they are going to close the investigation of General Flynn Which leads to a 2:22pm message where Peter Strzok notes “7th floor involved”. That means FBI Director James Comey is now engaged on the issue. The very next day, January 5th, James Comey goes to the White House for a meeting with President Obama and Vice-President Biden. January 5th is the White House meeting where National Security Advisor Susan Rice, FBI Director James Comey (Crossfire Hurricane), and Deputy AG Sally Yates (Flynn FARA) are talking to President Obama about the status of the Flynn FBI investigation and President Obama says “by the book”. 1/4/17 – FBI wants to close investigation. 1/4/17 – Peter Strzok says no wait… I have a plan. 1/4/17 – James Comey involved. “7th Floor Involved” 1/5/17 – James Comey goes to White House. 1/5/17 – President Obama says: OK, but make sure “by the book”. Susan Rice by the book memo https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/im...a Investigation Email).pdf?platform=hootsuite Lets talk about after the Jan 5th meeting Comes had with Obama, Comey then meets with Strzok again and Strzok takes down notes that implicate Obama and Biden. Discussion among Obama, Comey, Yates, Biden, and Susan Rice. Biden: "Logan Act" Obama: "Have the right people on" Flynn case. Comey: The Flynn/Kislyak calls "appear legit."
No, I’m saying Comey KNEW that Flynn had, and was having conversations with Kislyak, and Flynn wasn’t telling anyone he was. We also knew at the time that Russia had interfered in the election in DJT’s favor. To think that the FBI should just ignore those 2 very large things is disingenuous. Those 2 things alone warrant at least a conversation with Flynn, right ?
That's back in the real world. There will a crap ton of dirt coming out in a few months, and some of our posters will be ginning up a whole new set of lies.
