obama had to get rid of General Flynn to get at President Trump....

Andrew McCarthy explains why the FBI lied and broke the law to take out General Flynn....

The staff was green enough to be bullied into minding its own business even about the FBI’s counterintelligence mission, in which the bureau is supposed to serve the White House, not the other way around.

But Flynn was different. After 33 years in the Army chain of command, the decorated former combat commander grasped that the FBI, like other executive-branch components, worked for the president. As NSA, Flynn would ensure that Trump ran the intelligence agencies, not be run by them. If Flynn wanted to know what was going on in intelligence investigations, he’d be able to find out — he wouldn’t take Jim Comey’s “no” for an answer. He was loyal to Trump, not to the intelligence establishment or the “policy community.” And he was White House staff, not a cabinet appointee — i.e., he did not have to wait interminably on an iffy Senate confirmation; he would be on the job from the very first moments of the new administration, getting his arms around what the executive branch intelligence apparatus was up to.

The perjury trap was set for Flynn out of necessity. If the Justice Department had informed the White House about recordings of Flynn and Kislyak discussing sanctions, and the FBI then asked for permission to interview Flynn, the bureau knew permission was sure to be denied. Flynn would be untouchable, and free to discover the entirety of the Obama administration’s extensive but secret effort to depict Trump and his minions as Russian operatives — an effort the FBI was determined to keep pursuing.

If no way could be found to sideline Flynn (the way Attorney General Jeff Sessions would later be sidelined), then Flynn was going to find out about Crossfire Hurricane. He was going to be a hands-on NSA, so that was a given.

And here is how they did it....

And since this was going to be their only shot at Flynn, they had to try to make it a kill shot. They’d do a perjury trap. Flynn would be grilled about his conversations with Kislyak that had become such a media-driven controversy. But the bureau would not play the recordings for him. They would not refresh his recollection. They would not ask him to go line-by-line to help them understand the conversation. That is what they would do in a normal investigation, if they were really trying, say, to figure out what Russia was up to. The goal here was not to advance anyone’s understanding.

The goal was to get Flynn to lie. Not to lie so they’d have leverage to threaten a prosecution and thus pressure Flynn to reveal vital evidence he’d been concealing. They wanted him to lie for the sake of lying – so they could get rid of him.

To better the odds that he would agree to talk and make inaccurate statements that could be portrayed as willful falsehoods, the FBI would not tell him the purpose of the interview.

Agents would not formally advise him of his rights, as they would in a normal case, even if they were dealing with a real criminal. They would just buzz him with questions about what exactly was said, in conversations that had occurred weeks before, at a time when Flynn was having hundreds of similar conversations. They would press him about what exact words had been uttered, even though they knew the exact words because they had recordings. They would try to put him in fear that they could prove the falsity of his public statements about not discussing sanctions. They would put him in fear that he could be prosecuted for violating the Logan Act (an absurd suggestion, but Flynn is not a lawyer and many commentators were discussing this moribund, constitutionally suspect provision as if it were a real crime). In the hotly partisan collusion climate of the time, they would make Flynn understand he could be framed as a sinister collaborator with Russia.

Flynn was fired by Obama to make it seem as if they are enemies. He was planted into the Pres.Trump's administration to make Pres.Trump to look bad. As if he was colluding with foreigners. But now they are trying to regurgitate Flynn back into his administration and do it all over again. This is going to be season two of Russia Russia Russiagate. They don't have that many members of the Deep State left, that they can infiltrate into the administration. So they have to bring back the oldies but goodies moles.
But I see that Roger Stone is being ignored. Even though he has proven that he has had a partial jury that some of the members was already aware of the case before they were elected that shown partiality. Which they were suppose to have been removed.

Well asshole, we’re going to put your kids in prison unless you plead guilty to a bogus charge. Guess you’re that shitstain who would throw his kid under the bus. By the way, it’s been found that exculpatory evidence was withheld. Again. Now STFU. You’re just embarrassing yourself more than usual.

It is disturbing that Authoritarianism is so trusted if you are of the right party.

Democrats are actually defending how Flynn, Stone, and Page have been run over by rogue FBI agents, and lazy FISA court judges!

I think the Maoists are in firm control of the Democratic party, via that old Nazi Soross and his poisonous influence.
