The release of the names of Obama officials who sought the unmasking of Michael Flynn is longer than expected. It seems to include everyone but the White House custodian. Naturally, the media is treating this revelation as perfectly normal. You see, one party spying on the other is only shocking if Republicans do it. But if Democrats do it? Well, the Obama officials who wanted a peek at Flynn’s conversations were simply “doing their duty.” Right. That’s why they had been spying on him since at least 2014. Recall that the Cambridge academic Stefan Halper, the “confidential informant” the FBI used to try and trip up George Papadopoulos,

Ric Grenell has done a fabulous job as Acting DNI. But let's not forget his predecessor - - Dan Coats. Before he departed - - Dan left behind a claim check to a metal box he had deposited at the DC Union Railway Station.
The box contained - - - -
• A partially used box of 1 1'2" aluminum 9d nails
• A leather harness and leash for a medium-sized dog
• High school graduation photos of Aaron Rodgers and Bonnie Raitt
• A size 10D men's right sneaker - - with a blue canvas upper
• A recipe for the Sicilian dish "Pasta Con Le Sarde"
• The June 11, 2017 Cleveland Plain Dealer - - with the front page headline: "Possible Contamination Of Sandusky Water Supply"
• A small red plastic shoe horn
When the box's contents were declassified - - panic set in among 0bama's coup plotters. Dan Coats is a true national hero!

I have wondered if Justice Department had given a heads up to CNN about Papadopoulos arriving back from Eurooe with the planted 10 K in cash, hoping to arrest him. The way they were shocked to see he didn't have it on him must have been hystetical. Papadopoulos smelled a rat and left the cash with a lawyer in I believe Greece and stated his concerns.
I mean, CNN seems to be very "lucky" that way.

This was not mere railroading, it was a targeted hit on a crucial target by a guided missile.
Do not underestimate the importance of obama warning Trump about two very dangerous men he should watch out for: Kim Jong-un and Michael Flynn
I hope he gets his old job back and continues his mission!

Thankfully, the deep staters (i.e. Comey, Clapper, Brennan, McCabe, etc.) were a bunch of bumbling, statist idiots. With all the resources of the FBI, they couldn't even "frame up" a neophyte politician who is newly arrived in Washington.
I always knew they were corrupt, but Lavrentiy Beria, Stalin's secret police chief, famously bragged that he could prove criminal conduct on anyone, and reportedly said, "Show me the man, and I will show you the crime." Only Trump could have withstood this. And with his own party against him, not knowing who he could trust.
Liberals are bunch of incompetent buffoons who would screw up a one car funeral.

Before DJT was elected, I read a little of General Flynn's comments on Islamic extremism, and, as the affair developed, I have always suspected, as Mr Neumayr says, it was Obama's fear and resentment of this posture that motivated the hit job.

The thing that fascinates me the most about the Flynn case is that this is the final piece of the puzzle about why the many co-conspirators fought so long and so tenaciously to not only get him but to also keep all the documents related to him specifically under wraps and ridiculously carefully redacted...they confirm that the top of the conspiracy chain was in fact President Obama.
It's clear now. Nobody else, not Comey, Clapper, Brennan, McCabe, etc., would have had the authority to issue the broad orders to spy on candidate/President Trump. Nobody. Sure, any of them could go after a Papadopoulos or similar flunky. But not the candidate/President. It HAD to be the then President. And to do that, even he needed someone close enough to Trump on a national security level (Flynn) to legally justify (as an excuse) his purpose for setting off the multi-conspirator chain of events.
And that's why Obama himself is now making nervous noises publicly. He was/is the top conspirator.

FTA - "The media exists to make the railroadings of the ruling class look respectable, but in truth they are no different than those of third-world autocrats."
We mustn't ever forget the msm's role in Obamagate.

We are at WAR, my friends -- don't doubt it, and the lines are clearly drawn ...
Don't be magnanimous, distrust every comment they make, and don't take the high-road. Squash these cockroaches !

"They convinced themselves that since he represented an affront to “norms” they could play dirty and betray norms themselves."
Well, to dems warped thinking, the "norms" are dems in charge using their twisted interpretations of law. So Trump IS an affront to them.
Fortunately, the truth is being exposed and the dems are starting to panic and babble and inadvertently give things away.
I am really starting to get a feel that BO hated Flynn personally because Flynn spoke against him. Sure there is a political basis for BO's actions but the single minded attacks on Flynn reflect a personal hatred. Narcissists don't like to be challenged and Flynn challenged BO publicly. When BO said he was "Not a fan" of Flynn, I suspect that all his people KNEW that BO would be pleased to see Flynn suffer. They would get kudos from BO if they could report that had taken actions against Flynn. So that's what they did.

Flynn's problem now was lying to the court by pleading guilty to a crime over a period of years, even though DOJ would like the case to go away. In lieu of a trial Flynn swore twice that he was guilty of a crime, regardless of the filthy behavior of the FBI and DOJ. He swore twice that he declared so of his free will, not under pressure. His high-priced legal team negotiated what he commissioned. That's the "railroad" he's riding. He was hardly a mere passenger.
The hero could have blown this case up from the beginning by following proper protocol, i.e. notifying Mike Pence of the initial FBI meet. He could refused to meet, or have had counsel present. He could have told Pence the truth of the matter when discussed with him. He could have bravely told DOJ he'd stand trial. Could'a, would'a, should'a.
So, let's hear the truth of the matter...all we have is spin. Let's hear about the threats and dealings in submitting the pleas. Ms Powell should be savoring the opportunity before the judge to expose all this skulldugery. Or do we fear the truth?

As much as I despise Obama, my guess is there's somebody above him pulling the strings. Who could be that powerful? Who owns Obama? What could Flynn know that would make them all react like this? Was it the Iran deal? What about Valarie Jarrett and no mention of her? Did they give away our secrets to China? Who will be the first to crack? So many questions.
Every chess play going forward is strategic for Barr and Durham. The dirty bums on the Left are starting to show signs of desperation. The media fools on the Left are so mired in their anti Trump tripe that they appear like dunces. John Solomon, Sara Carter and Devin Nunes, and others, are the heroes who have had the courage and tenacity to follow this story. The American people deserve justice. I expect to see the Obama cabal team persecuted to the full extent of the law.

This is turning into a real Sherlock Holmes mystery. Why? Why? Why ... Flynn? That early on (2014) he was being followed? And that much before Trump looked like he'd even come close to beating Hillary. Huh? Why? H-m-m.
It's "The Adventure of Silver Blaze" but in reverse. That Holmes short story is famous for "the dog that didn't bark" but in Flynn's case he would have howled. It's becoming obvious that Flynn would see through Obama's catering to the mullahs and also Obama/Clinton trying to sandbag Trump. This is when the Steele "dossier" was being composed out of whole cloth. Even though he wasn't working for Trump he was hoping to be headhunted. He'd have seen through Steele's nonsense after two days of phone calls.
To prevent Flynn from becoming the coal-mine canary and warning Trump --- Flynn had to be removed first and in a credible way that would make Trump even distrust him. It also had the double benefit of sending a chilling message to everyone else ... work for Trump at your own peril or you'll end up like Flynn! Trump hired outsiders not just because he feared The Swamp but many refused to work in his White House. Attacking Flynn worked on many levels!

All facts and data about the crimes of what the deep state did is out in the open, full frontal out in the open and not one thing will happen to any of the deep state criminals. The Fourth Amendment is dead forever because of it. The government can ruin your life whenever they want, how ever they want, out in the open, flip off the truth about it, get rewarded and the tax payers pay for the rewards. The next amendment to go forever thanks to the Chicom virus is the First Amendment and the government is also making sure of it. Over a year ago, Congress should have ruled that all social media platforms are now publishers and NOT platforms because they edit content, but the campaign money is way too pleasurable for Congress to do their jobs. The Church committee's abyss was crossed years ago and like Church said in the freaking seventies, there is no going back BY DESIGN.

0bama is capable of a lot worse. The only mystery remaining now is - What else is there ? Only Grenell knows!

He was in the way so they hit him. They didn't kill his body but they killed his life, his income and did terrible harm to his family. We are at war. It doesn't always look like it or feel like it, but we are at war. The left is most certainly at war and will not end until they build the faux utopia that they will run and in which we will be enslaved. The problem is that the 'left' used to be a tiny enclave of more or less harmless ninnies. Now they are the entire leadership of the democrat party and the army of indoctrinated children and dependent adults who vote for them. Thank God we have a Patton on our side. We need more of them and we need to win in a landslide in November. Since the left's mother's milk is power they must be forced to realize that their current machinations will only end in defeat and marginalization.

As several have mentioned, we are at war. But too many dupes on our side don't want to face that little detail. If you want to send a message to the embedded cockroaches that stepping over the line is a really, really bad idea, all these clowns need their fair trial, and then a public hanging or firing squad. It's the only way to be sure.
And we really, really need to shrink the bureaucracy and flush out all the embedded vermin we can. Then remain vigilant, because you never get them all until you totally destroy the building.

And the Flynn persecution was just a way station on the trip to overthrow a President.
Traitors all of them, at least 3 dozen deserve life in prison, probably another 50 are guilty.

This provides a hit list of Deep Swampers for DJT and Barr in their next term to take off the gloves and really do a draining job. No mercy. They need to include the 23 Republicans who don't want DJT to run again!

#11, your constant belittling of Flynn is getting quite tiresome, starting to think you're an Obama troll. Have my doubts about how YOU would have held up under the pressure that was brought to bear on Flynn.
