B-Man Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 MICHAEL BARONE CALLED IT “GANGSTER GOVERNMENT” FOR A REASON: How Obama Administration shattered rule of law. This week, former President Obama re-emerged from hibernation to lecture Americans about the threat to rule of law posed by the Trump administration. After Attorney General Bill Barr announced that the Department of Justice would be dropping its case against President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who had pled guilty to one count of lying to the FBI, Obama told his former aides, “our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk.” He explained, “There is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. … And when you start moving in those directions, it can accelerate pretty quickly as we’ve seen in other places.” In reality, of course, Flynn was never charged with perjury. He was charged with lying to the FBI in the course of an investigation, a separate and far lesser offense, particularly given the fact that his alleged lie was immaterial to any underlying crime. In fact, as America found out over the past two weeks, Flynn wasn’t supposed to be the subject of any investigation at all: The FBI had decided to close an investigation into Flynn in January 2017, even after supposedly nefarious calls between Flynn and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Disgraced former FBI agent Peter Strzok — the same man who pledged to lover and former FBI attorney Lisa Page that Donald Trump would never be president and suggested an “insurance policy” against that possibility — then intervened to keep the investigation open. The next day, during an Oval Office meeting, President Obama himself asked then-FBI Director James Comey about the Flynn-Kislyak communications. Next, Comey upped the ante: He avoided following normal FBI-White House protocols in order to interview Flynn, and Comey’s deputy director, Andrew McCabe, avoided informing Flynn of his rights. Nonetheless, the FBI agents who conducted the interview suggested that they did not think Flynn was lying during that interview. As it turns out, notes between top FBI officials at the time said, “What’s our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” Flynn would later plead guilty to one count of lying to the FBI — at least in part because the FBI was threatening his son with prosecution. This should be a massive scandal. It should be a massive scandal because, at the very least, it demonstrates the nation’s chief law enforcement agencies, prompted by political actors at the very top of the government, racing to bend the rules in order to pursue a case they were convinced they would make: the case that the Trump campaign had conspired with the Russian government. From the purposefully botched Carter Page Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to the absurdly conjured prosecution of Flynn, the most powerful institutions in American life violated the protocols meant to restrict abuse, firmly secure in their own feelings of moral rectitude. That’s the best-case scenario. The worst-case scenario is far darker: that by early January, with no evidence of Russian collusion, leaders of the nation’s political and law enforcement agencies decided that guilt was irrelevant, and that the Trump administration had to be strangled in the crib. Yeah, I’m not buying the best case. 1 2

Deranged Rhino Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) He expends so much energy defending the indefensible. He defends those who rape and trafficking children, he defends the subversion of the republic and rule of law — and does all that while laughing about it. Because Gary is a bad person who has aligned himself with actual evil. Be better than Gary. Edited May 14, 2020 by Deranged Rhino

B-Man Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 OBAMAGATE EXPLAINED You’d think a White House reporter might understand the crimes involved in an administration’s illegal spying on the opposition party’s presidential candidate party and unprecedented undermining of the peaceful transfer of power following the election. Indeed, the operation against the incoming administration continued long into the candidates’s presidency with the connivance of the press. President Trump now calls the congeries of scandals that sought to take him out Obamagate, but that is unfair to Watergate. This is Watergate times 10 or 100 or 1000. It is the greatest scandal in American political history by far. Richard Nixon never had it so good. Not even close. The condescending White House reporter who posed the “what’s it all about” question at yesterday’s White House press conference was kayoed by Kayleigh (video below). He nevertheless had this much going for him. He left us asking ourselves: Who was that masked man? (Answer: CBS News Radio correspondent Steven Portnoy.) I believe this video has gone viral on Twitter 1 2
