Evidence withheld for years from Michael Flynn's defense team shows the FBI found "no derogatory" Russia evidence against the former Trump National Security Adviser and that counterintelligence agents had recommended closing down the case with a defensive briefing before the bureau's leadership intervened in January 2017.
The recommendation to close the case came 16 days before President Trump took office with plans to have Flynn serve as his National Security Adviser, and after agents had found no incriminating evidence by sweeping counterintelligence files and talking to confidential human sources, the memos show.

Strozk and whomever gave him his orders, are guilty of sedition and need to spend the rest of their lives in jail. . . .and then a stern note place in their personnel files.

This fits with my opinion of normal FBI agents, based on one friend of 30 years, recently retired, one guy I knew for three or four years who became an FBI agent, and another friend that I knew for about 5 years who was a retired agent....basically the ordinary FBI guys are generally solid LE folks.
But the top layers, cultivated under various corrupt leaders were and are worthless traitors, looking for political power any way that they can get it.

I guess they just thought Gen. Flynn was collateral damage. This stinks. They destroyed a fine man in order to get rid of Donald Trump. Words can't express what i think about it. If they don't put some of those crooked FBI agents in jail, I hope Gen. Flynn can sue the pants off of them. Then make Mueller and his gang of liars pay the taxpayers back for the millions of wasted dollars they spent trying to pin something on Pres. Trump.

#2, I wish I could believe you about the regular, lower-level FBI types being good guys and solid citizens. I think we all wish that. But the truth is that for almost 4 years now, not a single one seems to have been able to summon up enough courage to step forward and tell the truth about these shameful, seditious actions against our duly elected President.
Where are they? Why have none of them tried to save this country and the reputation of the FBI by speaking up? Every torturous step and every revelation here has been made by the few remaining decent lawyers trying to protect falsely accused people from financial ruin and jail time, or by the courage and tenacity of groups like Judicial Watch and its constant digging for Freedom of Information accessible records.
This is shameful. The perpetrators all need to see jail time and not just reprimands or fines.

We only have one acquaintance who is retired FBI agent. He said to expect lots of articles which will exonerate layers of good agents - agents who should have blown the whistle. He said bottom line, either FBI letters stand for something or they don’t. He said there are many good and sharp agents. However, three decades of very bad people at the top three to four tiers of leadership have wrought damage throughout the organization. He steered his very sharp and well-educated sons away from federal law enforcement. He is an author of several books and a conservative favorite who has been interviewed in FNC several times.

There were people at the top of the Obama-Biden Administration who apparently wanted to fire Michael Flynn long before Trump was elected and surely did not want Flynn to be Trump’s National Security Advisor. Obviously Flynn is knowledge as to when all the bones that were created during the Obama-Biden Administration were buried and did not want to take the chance that Flynn would dredge those bones up for the Trump crew to act on. Maybe the current powers at be should look into that.

Classic "absolute power corrupts absolutely". I suspect all those "honest principled fbi agents": who have failed to come forward are bound and determined to hold on to their own power. If no-one goes to jail they will all be vindicated .

#6, Flynn *was* head of the DIA. Think about what he knew and knows.

Are these “honest” FBI agents holding back in the hope that Biden defeats Trump and all of this corruption is forgotten by Biden’s choices for AG and FBI Director? And is being “loyal” shorthand for loyal to the Democrat in the Oval Office rather than to country, Constitution and the law?
In the 4 years since the corruption of Obama, Hillary and their respective thugs has been revealed, not one FBI or DoJ official who knew about / was a participant in the numerous Obama regime scandals has come forward. Not one, which is stunning.

So now we read that ol' Billy Priestap was all soooooo concerned that the FBI was unfair to Gen Flynn.
This wasn't a difference of opinion. This was a stinking railroad job -- trampling over Gen Flynn's civil rights for the "higher purpose: -- getting President Trump.
Just like the FISA Court Judges, who willingly played along with the FBI/DOJ/Intelligence Agency deep state coup plotters, they were "vust fullowing urders". Billy should have been yelling to the tree tops, calling the White House, and making it clear what was going on.
But no, he wrote a little memo, "Is this a good idea? See you at the bar after work, guys."
I hope Barr and Durham sweep up every "solider" that "just followed orders" if and when this hits the fan. Actually, I'm more interested in seeing these folks pay the price than Obama and Clinton.
Send the message that this is not how the US government operates. So the next person who thinks that they should just follow orders remembers what happened to those folks who pulled this scam back in 2015 to 2019.

After Gen. Flynn is exonerated President Trump should name him head of the FBI and Sidney Powell as attorney general. That would be like getting the two organizations ready for a colonoscopy.

The fish rots from the head -- okay, true enough. But it looks like rot the spread widely.
Is the FBI even worth saving? The institution doesn't currently deserve the support and trust of the American people.

The lines to the gallows or in front of the firing squad should be quite long. And needs to happen sooner rather than later.
These scum are traitors, and if they aren't removed; well, one rotten apple spoils the whole barrel. And this was more like 90% of the apples were rotten. Not to mention those rotten ones in the media and congress and the IC.

The order to nuke Flynn came directly from the highest level of the executive branch - - namely - - Valerie Jarrett.
Little 0bie helped to spread the word for ValJar - - and the toadies like Biden, Lynch, Rice, Brennan, and Clapper gave it their top priority.
Please raise your hand if you didn't already know that.

Two things stand out. One, they were NOT after Flynn. The real target was Trump - a duly elected President. The use of fraudulent, extra legal methods against the Chief Executive is treason of the highest order. NOT treating it as such could be an equally criminal act. Two, it is difficult to believe these small potatoes had the guts to move against a POTUS on their own volition. Again, deliberately limiting it to Strzok, Page, Prietap, McCabe even Comey could be starting a crime. There is no shortage of suspects - Rice, Hillary, Obama, Jarrett, Soros. Even Senators like Schumer, Feinstein, who knew too much too early.

Take them to court and sue the pants off Strozk, Comey, the girlfriend etc. - the individuals who pushed this. They are not 'regular' FBI - they are the upper crust of management who get paid on a different scale than regular civil servants - they make much more than your normal GS13 or GS14.

#4, my retired FBI friend tells me of MANY agent show refused to work in DC longer than short assignments, and apparently those were tests to see who was corruptible, so that the DC area folks were carefully selected for 'being flexible', and my bet is that the crooked ones knew who not to get involved in the corrupt cases.
Choose your treasonous allies carefully....and they did.

Trump has been right all along. Double standards, the deep state and the swamp. Problem
is, that swamp keeps getting deeper. Its all coming out. Their hatred toward Trump is appalling. They destroyed General Flynn's life and bankrupted him. Look at what they did to Kavanaugh and the rest. Every freakin democrat is a hypocrite and pure scum. Get it yet.

If they want something to happen, it does.
See the response to 11/22/63--they had a report out in THREE WEEKS saying only TWO shots.
And then they found out there was a another shot that hit a curb and hit a bystander with a concrete shard from a richochet.
And then they went even deeper hiding or not investigating leads.....
Same stuff, different decade..

Flynn's basic problem is very simple: He pled guilty promising full cooperation with all sorts of advice from counsel. He got framed...okay...he said he lied. Now he says he didn't? So, he lied about lying? (Please don't give me he was protecting his son. That's motive, as is robbing a bank to buy baby new shoes.)
Flynn is a victim of his own hubris. He set himself up for his fall, with the help of the FBI. I'd like to know how he arrived at hiring the law firm he did...the one that may have sold him out.

They waited to ensure it wasn't during the Obama administration, and place it in the Trump administration.
Hopefully, the reports of FBI General Counsel James Baker flipping and working with Durham, is a major turning point, and will further expose the massive corruption that took place.
I think it's important to avoid mentioning Obama as directly involved, people will want to protect him, but concentrate on the others who took part, and if it cascades up to Obama and Biden directly, then let it build to that on it's own.
We know that Biden sat in on the meeting where James Comey advised he was going to "brief the President", which was all part of the scheme to move to the other phase and launch the Mueller scam.
Which means this whole thing was pre-meditated.

#17 ... Seems I read somewhere that during the reign of Herr Mueller as the Chief Cop of the FBI, he required all FBI agents over a certain level to have to do a rotation at the "home office" in DC. A good number of long-tenured agents decided to retire rather than uproot families and live in the expensive DC swamp to fulfill the fantasies of Mueller. As it goes, it may have been to train folks in the FBI when such covert actions are needed to remove a "hostile" leader (by their definitions).

The stench at the FBI is getting overwhelming.
I wonder if Chris Wray will survive until after the election?

You are correct, #23, I heard the same from my recently retired FBI friend, too. He was no fan of Mueller at all. He started out neutral on Comey, but is spitting mad and has been for several years over Comey and his crooked team at FBI.

This had nothing to do with a real investigation, it was the FBI's TOP THUGS ticket to get Trump, it's as simple as that!
