I’m no big fan of Michael Flynn, but his story proves America’s liberal party has a dangerous element within: Obama-Clinton sycophants and media pimps, who have perverted truth and justice far beyond Watergate. The real truth came out under threat of perjury in congressional testimony that Adam Schiff refused to release until Richard Grenell (acting DNI) gave 57 transcripts to William Barr (AG). Suffice it to say, the truth differed from what the Obama apparatchiks had tweeted or told CNN.
First truth: Democrats have spread lies. A paper trail began in April 2016 with embarrassing Democrat emails released by Guccifer 2.0. The DNC claimed Russia hacked their servers, but eschewed FBI forensics for an examination by CrowdStrike. This allowed Adam Schiff to tell Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, “Vladimir Putin was behind the hacks of our institution.” A lie – when he’d asked the CEO of CrowdStrike about Russia and heard this: “we had indicators of exfiltration, no concrete evidence and only circumstantial evidence” (source: Congressional Transcript).
For three years, Schiff had claimed he had “more than circumstantial evidence” of the Trump campaign “plotting and conspiring” with Russia, in spite of hearing this truth from Obama’s lieutenants:
- Jim Clapper (DNI): “I never saw any direct empirical evidence that the Trump campaign or someone in it was plotting or conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election.”
- Susan Rice (National Security Adviser): “I don’t recall intelligence that I would consider evidence.”
- Samantha Power (UN ambassador): “I am not in possession and didn’t read or absorb information that came out of the intelligence community.”
Suffice it to say, their answers under the threat of perjury are 180-degree flip-flops from their 2017 tweets and CNN comments. This begs a question: why boldly give false witness when the frightened truth will come out? Evelyn Farkas (Obama-era DOD official) provides a clue.
Farkas told MSNBC, “I was urging my former colleagues to ‘get as much information as you can’ because it would be hidden [by] Trump folks that would try to compromise [our] good intelligence on Russia. We knew what we knew.” Clearly, she feared the change president and propagandized for partisan purposes. This is true. Asked by Schiff’s committee under oath what she knew, Farkas admitted, “I didn’t know anything.”
Second truth: deep-state Democrats used Gestapo tactics. Brandon Van Grack (DOJ) justified the 2017 FBI interrogation of Michael Flynn: “a legitimate investigation [to] determine whether and why” Flynn had spoken to Russian Ambassador Kislyak. In fact, the Flynn-Kislyak recording was in his possession, FBI agents had already told him there was “no derogatory information” or “any information on which to predicate further investigative efforts,” and Flynn was interrogated without his lawyer.
James Comey, Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok knew this but kept the “insurance policy” in place: Crossfire Hurricane, FISA wiretaps and the Mueller investigation. So much action, but nobody told the attorney general. Here’s AG Loretta Lynch’s testimony: “I don’t recall that being briefed up to me.” Either Lynch gave a perjury-avoiding dodge or Comey kept her in the dark. Because Sally Yates (Deputy AG) testified she first heard of the Flynn-Kislyak recordings from President Obama on January 5, 2017, Comey looks guilty.
Third truth: the forces of evil won’t surrender. New York Times spin: Don’t Forget, Michael Flynn Pleaded Guilty. Twice. Schiff’s spin: “[Flynn] was a prime counterterrorism risk [so] this case is being dismissed under the cloak of a pandemic under the cloak of night.” Obama’s spin: “the rule of law is at risk – there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury getting off scot-free” (actually, that would be Bill Clinton).
Republicans can shrug this off as Democrats have been lying for years, but not Michael Flynn or Carter Page. Independents can dismiss Flynn and Page as inconsequential, but what if Brett Kavanaugh had been ruined? Dems can believe the end justifies the means, but I had a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington revelation. These are BAD PEOPLE that require justice be served.
