Dismissal of Gen. Flynn’s charges revealing
Now that the U.S. Department of Justice has filed a motion for the rancid case against General Michael Flynn to be dismissed, readers of this paper need to see a perspective that the paid help won’t provide.
Both the un-serious and ought-to-be serious voices on the left say the same thing — “Flynn pled guilty (!!!) Dropping the case is a travesty (!!!).”
The case was crafted around a perjury trap on General Flynn. A perjury trap is the government’s use of its investigatory powers to secure a perjury indictment on materials which are neither material nor germane to a legitimate ongoing investigation.
A Department of Justice memo dated Jan. 30, 2017 stated that “The FBI did not believe Flynn was acting as an agent of Russia.”
In spite of this, the inquisitors used the perjury trap, coercion by threatening his son with prosecution under an obscure statute and poor legal counsel by his attorneys, the inquisitors secured their ill-gotten scalp.
After retaining Sidney Powell as his counsel, General Flynn found his equilibrium.
Ms. Powell’s understanding of federal prosecutorial corruption has been illuminated in her two books, the best-selling “License to Lie” and “Conviction Machine.”
Her aggressive advocacy led to the dismissal motion which includes the following statement: “In the case of Mr. Flynn, the evidence shows his statements were not “material” to a viable counter-intel investigation — or any investigation for that matter — by the FBI.”
After receiving his 30 pieces of silver from CNN, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper proudly proclaimed that President Trump, either knowingly or unwittingly, was a Russian asset.
However, in sworn testimony before the House Intelligence Committee on July 17, 2017, he stated “I never saw any direct empirical evidence that the Trump campaign or someone in it was plotting/conspiring with the
Russians to meddle with the election.”
Recently released transcripts that provided us with that statement include numerous concurring statements from other members of the rogue’s gallery of Obama-era officials.
Rather curious how testimony never got leaked to The New York Times, isn’t it?
Esteemed (liberal) law professor Jonathan Turley strongly supports the Motion to Dismiss, writing how “It describes an effort former FBI Director James Comey, (former Dept. FBI Director Andrew) McCabe, and others to skip common protocols at any cost on any grounds.”
Comey delighted the President’s detractors by publicly bragging about blowing off agency protocols.
With regards to CNN, Turley wrote “CNN never raised that McCabe (who is a senior CNN analyst) was found to have lied by career investigators and referred him for criminal charges.”
Some on the left find Mr. Flynn’s situation serves as some sort of karmic balance for abuses of less privileged, non-white citizens. To this, I’ll refer to Mahatma Gandhi’s axiom of how taking an eye for eye leaves everyone blind.
As this scandal continues to unfold, we can look forward to more flapdoodle from partisan dirt merchants in our legacy media. We’ve already gotten a “leaked” phone call President Obama castigating our current Justice department. NBC has already had to sheepishly admit that its once venerable “Meet the Press” broadcast a deceptively edited excerpt of a CBS interview with Attorney General Barr. This nonsense isn’t going to end.
Much of our media has taken on the veneer of nutroots nation, hoping to see our President and anyone else within his coterie frog-walked out of office into the political gulag. This amounts to a world class case of projectionism by our fourth estate gone rogue.
As time passes, we the people are going to find out about the who, what, when, where and why of this debacle. And, yes, I believe this will make Watergate look positively quaint in comparison. Part of how we move forward afterwards will be how we hold our partisan media accountable for their malfeasance.
