We Knew It Was Coming

[Rightguide]

“The calls [between Flynn and Kislyak] were entirely appropriate on their face”

“The evidence shows his statements were not “material” to any viable counterintelligence investigation—or any investigation for that matter—initiated by the FBI”

“Indeed, the FBI itself had recognized that it lacked sufficient basis to sustain its initial counterintelligence investigation by seeking to close that very investigation without even an interview of Mr. Flynn”

“With its [CI] investigation no longer justifiably predicated, the communications between Flynn and Kislyak—the FBI’s sole basis for resurrecting the investigation on Jan 4—did not warrant either continuing that existing [CI] investigation or opening a new criminal investigation”

“Nor was anything said on the calls themselves to indicate an inappropriate relationship between Mr. Flynn and a foreign power.”

“Indeed, Mr. Flynn’s request that Russia avoid “escalating” tensions in response to U.S. sanctions in an effort to mollify geopolitical tensions was consistent with him advocating for, not against, the interests of the United States.”

“the FBI [7th floor] sidestepped a modest but critical protection that constrains the investigative reach of law enforcement: the predication threshold for investigating American citizens”


Someone has to pay!

My sentiments exactly.

The guilty plea will be allowed to be withdrawn, the case will be dismissed, the record of conviction will be expunged, and several lawyers will be disbarred and hopefully prosecuted.

Flynn will not longer be a "convict" but he will be a very wealthy man.

So how much money will he eventually get from Russia?

 

[Rightguide]

FBI Director Flynn has a nice ring to it.

His former law firm should be disbanded and prosecuted for colluding with the prosecutors.

They ought offer him the ODNI. That would shake what's left of the Intel Community deep state.

[OldJourno]

Have you spotted a trend yet?
Now that the people who confidently predicted Flynn's demise have found that he has been set up, they are falling back on "he pleaded guilty" or "it's Trump's Dept. of Justice."
And never mind that all the evidence, all the paperwork and email, can be traced back to holdovers who held those jobs long before Trump even decided to run for president.
There are reasons, none of them good, why Flynn entered a guilty plea. I'm thankful he found good legal advice before he was sentenced.
These are shameful days for the FBI, which has been exposed as a corrupt agency.
And it's apparent some who post here have no shame.

Russia don't give up no "money" hunny. Obama made sure that our enemies gets themselves PAID by the US instead.

OTOH, all them DOJ and FBI folks is gonna find themselves with their immunity pierced because immunity don't cover no criminal acts. Flynn's former lawyers is already telling their malpractice folks to open a file and write a check too. Unfortunately for us taxpayer types, the US gubmint ain't gonna get off no scotts free neither.

All in all, I figger the taxes on what he gets from everbuddy will be around 1/1024th of the National Debt.

A new guy is in front of the Senate for confirmation. FBI new chief for the General.

The trend is that all those who "predicted" that Flynn would be going to jail have suddenly found a new vocation as mimes.

Obama holdovers.

Where did President Obama find all the leftist, deep state hacks? He had to rely on others with more knowledge of their loyalty to a bigger cause (globalists). Was Commie Brennan in charge of pulling together the coup participants?

The man has no shame!

The FBI director who led the corrupt efforts at the bureau weighs in with a bat signal to fellow Russia hoaxers.




James Comey
@Comey
The DOJ has lost its way. But, career people: please stay because America needs you. The country is hungry for honest, competent leadership.

 

[tog18]

Why did they wiretap the call? There is nothing worng with a Nat Sec leader talking to a Russian Amb?



The January 5, 2017 meeting in which Sally Yates said she learned of Flynn-Kislyak call from President Obama himself--Susan Rice and VP Joe Biden were in that meeting, too, per Rice's famous memo-to-self.

Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his illicit Russian contacts.

His lies do not now become truths.

This dismissal does not exonerate him.

But it does incriminate Bill Barr.

In the worst politicization of the Justice Department in its history.



Pathetic

 

[hogjack]

The sad part is now that the FBI and DOJ and several circuit court judges have been weaponized against opponents there is precedent to do it again. President Obama - who regularly demonstrated contempt for the US* in international speeches and appearances - showed a deep-seeded dislike for this country that gave him the greatest opportunities possible to any citizen. He further showed contempt by corrupting the FBI.

*The US is not nor should it ever be above reproach. The nation deserves hard scrutiny of its first 230 years which had many triumphs and many evils. The nation continues to require scrutiny both at home and abroad. That's what the Fourth Estate (media, news) is supposed to do instead of becoming another political weapon to yield. Look at the video of the 2016 election wherein leftist media were literally crying on the air as their candidate fell. At least there was no doubt as to the position as an advocacy body the media had decided to become.

You're right, it was just a thought along the lines of poetic justice. Flynn however is a highly qualified intelligence expert himself. Trump could make him NSC director without senate approval.

I think Brennan was the Puppet Master behind pushing the Dossier to the FBI as a legitimate intelligence community product, which they gratefully sucked up in their desire to carry out, what I believe to be orders from higher authority, to get Trump and sabotage his administration.

 

[Rightguide]

President Obama, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, Comey, Rosenstein, Sally Yates, and those around them. I believe several members of Congress from both parties as well along with a compliant media.

It's the pathology of Adam "Hoot Owl" Schiff that's in question. Years of claiming "direct evidence" of Trump Russian collusion, all lies.

Ironically enough, had the universally disiked Hillary Clinton - who has to work hard to even fake authenticity - done a better job campaigning she could have won the election. Obviously those with more insight on the Left knew Clinton could not win without hacking the opponent's campaign.

And, much like Clinton who simply will not go away, they were wrong.

Likewise to the political scum behind the attempted soft coup.

Nor to King Dong. I don't expect any honest prosecutions of the Reich members until The Dong is out of office.
