Remember the Bush funeral, and those envelopes? I was going to relive that with you all here, but when I searched YouTube, I couldn't pull anything about it up.

 

Instead, a long list of MSM videos. Of course, the top comments for all these refer to the envelopes.... Surely they have been buried, and will only come up if you search for a specific channel.

 

This is the only one I found that shows footage (it's a lame host, but the footage is pretty interesting).

 

Jeb looks frightened and confused.

From Miranda Devine in the NY POST today:

 

Samantha Power was “the largest unmasker of US persons in our country’s history,” then-Rep. Trey Gowdy said in October 2017, when he was interviewing her during the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia probe.

 

As US ambassador to the United Nations, she made hundreds of “unmasking” requests during the final year of the Obama administration, although her post had no obvious intelligence function.

 

She asked that the identity of Gen. Michael Flynn be revealed in classified intelligence reports seven times between Election Day 2016 and the inauguration of President Trump on Jan. 20, 2017, although she testified later to have “no recollection” of the requests.

 

“Now, did I have a significant appetite for intelligence? I do,” Power told Gowdy.

 

No kidding.

 

Not that she was alone. We now discover, thanks to a document declassified by the nation’s intelligence chief, that more than three dozen members of the Obama administration, including Joe Biden, also had an unhealthy obsession with unmasking Flynn.

 

After this flurry of activity, it was only a matter of time before someone leaked Flynn’s name to The Washington Post, providing the pretext for the infamous FBI “setup” interview which led to his resignation after just 24 days as national security adviser and sparking the Russia-collusion fantasy which hobbled the Trump administration before it began.

 

The presidential transition is supposed to be a peaceful handover of power from one administration to the next, but in the 10 weeks between Election Day and Inauguration Day, something went very badly wrong.

 

In the words of Rep. Devin Nunes, Obama’s people “went wild after Trump won. They got poisoned with this Russia hoax … They were just unmasking and then leaking out about anyone within the Trump campaign and the Trump Transition Team."

 

 

In a parliamentary system such as Britain’s, a new prime minister can show up for work the day after the election, and in other democracies, a period of caretaker government limits the powers of the “lame duck” administration.

 

But in America, there is a remarkable period of almost three months during which an unscrupulous administration can plant landmines for its successor to step on.

 

And that, as becomes clearer each day, is what happened to the Trump administration.

 

The threat for the Obamaites wasn’t that Republicans were returning temporarily to office. It was that the barbarian Trump uniquely imperiled their entire progressive agenda.

 

But they wasted little time wailing and rending their garments. Being professional community activists, they turned their emotions into action.

 

They did what they regarded as their patriotic duty: bedevilling Trump before he set foot in the Oval Office.

 

So, in their last days in power, they used the intelligence agencies to trawl for dirt which they weaved into a barely plausible narrative that Trump was an “asset” of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

 

Then someone leaked this nonsense, along with the salacious contents of the fictional Steele Dossier, to a weaponized media. They then sat back and savored the hounding of their nemesis. The “Resistance” was born.

 

No wonder Power, an Irish-born activist journalist who became an Obama devotee, was weirdly zen about Trump’s victory when interviewed by the Irish Times in November 2017. She said she was comforted by the “checks and balances kicking in” to constrain Trump, the courts blocking his policies and the women becoming “triggered by his vulgarity and cruelty.”

 

Like her former colleagues, Power also kicked along the Russia-collusion tale any chance she got.

 

“Putin has got a very high return on his investment,” she told Stephen Colbert on CBS in December 2017.

 

Yet two months earlier, she had testified in the House Intelligence Committee that she had seen no evidence of Russian collusion.

 

It was the same with Obama’s director of national intelligence, James Clapper.

 

As a paid CNN contributor, Clapper repeatedly declared that Trump was a Russian “asset.”

 

Yet, under oath in July 2017, he told the committee: “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.”

 

As a paid MSNBC contributor, Obama’s mendacious CIA Director John Brennan labeled Trump “treasonous,” and “wholly in the pocket of Putin.”

 

But last March, after the Mueller investigation found no Russia collusion, he told MSNBC he might have “received bad information … I think I suspected there was more than there actually was.” Sure.

 

Barack Obama, whose administration turned spying on American citizens into an art form, has remained serenely above the fray until now, when the only thing standing between Trump and a second term is a sleepy guy in a basement.

 

During two virtual commencement speeches over the weekend, Obama fashioned the attack lines the Democrats will use during the campaign.

 

“This pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they’re doing,” he said. “A lot of them aren’t even pretending to be in charge.”

 

The pandemic works electorally for the Democrats in three ways:

 

It has crippled Trump’s greatest asset, the economy; it offers the opportunity for the socialist transformation that often follows a war; and it allows them to keep hiding Biden in the basement.

 

They plan to hang every coronavirus death around the president’s neck, keep people locked down as long as possible and then blame him for the ailing economy.

 

But the landmines they planted for Trump in the transition are about to blow up on them.

 

 

I'll tell you what, Miranda Devine has putting out some good sh!t lately. Bravo!?

So Trump asks Lindsey to call on Obama to testify, knowing that isn't going to happen.......but maybe it forces Graham to do the next best thing ?

 Check out this thread on Mr. (judge?) Sullivan regarding the Flynn case.  Starting to spread rapidly. If true - wow!

Spread rapidly like the pandemic that was supposed to have just disappeared by now?

Not sure what to make of this one yet, but my spidey-senses tell me there's more coming here: 

 

 

The information I hear is that he broke some rules during the selection process for the lander.
