Investigations targeting Republicans interconnected, raising concerns about their integrity: Recent revelations add to the narrative that investigations against Republicans are interconnected and have questionable integrity, with inconsistencies and withheld information raising concerns for transparency and accountability.
The various investigations targeting Republicans and political opposition to the Democrats, including Spygate, the Mueller probe, and the impeachment process, are all interconnected. The people involved have a long history of trying to undermine opposition to liberal Democrat ideology, and they all know each other. A recent revelation regarding Michael Flynn's guilty plea adds to this narrative. According to Congressman Devin Nunes, the FBI had briefed them that Flynn did not lie to the FBI, yet he was charged and prosecuted for doing so. This inconsistency raises serious concerns about the integrity of these investigations. The fact that this information was withheld from the public and only came to light through a congressional report underscores the need for transparency and accountability. The ongoing efforts to undermine political opposition through questionable investigative tactics is a troubling trend that should concern all Americans, regardless of political affiliation.
Legal case against Flynn questioned: Allegations of government bad faith and breach of plea agreement in Michael Flynn's case, with evidence presented that FBI's accusations of Flynn lying were unfounded and concerns about their handling of the case.
The legal case against Michael Flynn for lying to the FBI is questionable, with allegations of government bad faith and breach of plea agreement. Flynn's team has presented evidence that the government's accusations of Flynn lying about working on behalf of the Turkish government were unfounded. Additionally, there are concerns about the FBI's handling of the case, including allegations that they lied to Congress about Flynn's interview and threatened to charge him with a false statement offense without sufficient evidence. The situation highlights larger issues of political polarization and distrust in institutions.
Former DIA head Mike Flynn marked as enemy by Democrats and deep state allies pre-Spygate: Democrats and deep state targeted Flynn for opposing Obama policies and refusing to be morally corrupt, leading to Spygate and larger pattern of political opponent takedowns
Mike Flynn, a former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency under Barack Obama and an outspoken critic of political weaponization of intelligence and the Iran deal, became a target for the Democrats and their deep state allies even before the start of Spygate. Flynn's opposition to the Obama administration's policies and his refusal to be a morally corrupt loser marked him as a threat, leading to his eventual targeting during the Trump presidency. The Flynn chapter is not just about Flynn, but a part of a larger pattern of police state Democrats using their power to take down their political opponents. The deep state's desire to get rid of Flynn predates Spygate, making it an essential chapter in understanding the Democrats' tactics.
Dinner with MI6 and a Russian-born woman: A UK tabloid published unsubstantiated allegations against Flynn, possibly orchestrated by British intelligence, after a dinner with MI6 and a Russian-born woman. Halper, a US Pentagon contractor, was present and may have been the source of the leak.
During the 2014 dinner attended by Mike Flynn, Richard Dearlove (former head of MI6), and Stefan Halper (a veteran of three Republican administrations), unsubstantiated allegations emerged that Flynn was compromised by a Russian-born woman, Svetlana Lakova. These allegations were leaked anonymously to a UK tabloid. Halper, who was believed to be the source of this leak, had received over $1 million in contracts from the US Pentagon to write studies on Russia, China, and Afghanistan. Dearlove, who was also present at the dinner, is known to be associated with US spies and is a friend of Christopher Steele, the producer of the infamous dossier. This raises questions about the origins of the allegations against Flynn and the potential role of British intelligence in targeting him politically.
UK's Role in Targeting US Citizens: Allegations suggest UK officials may have targeted and potentially framed US citizens during the 2016 election, including Michael Flynn, and it's important for transparency and accountability.
There are allegations of UK officials' involvement in targeting and potentially framing US citizens, including former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, during the 2016 US election. Anonymous sources leaked information to a UK tabloid about Flynn's supposed compromising relationship with a Russian woman, leading to his pursuit and eventual plea withdrawal. The former head of UK MI6, Richard Dearlove, who has relationships with John Brennan and Christopher Steele, was present at a seminar dinner with Flynn in 2014, where an anonymous source allegedly leaked information about Flynn's potential targeting. The UK's role in these events is a cause for concern, and it's time for transparency and accountability. The implications of these allegations extend beyond just the Trump administration and involve US military personnel like Flynn. If the UK officials are innocent, they should come forward to clear their names. However, if they're not, it's crucial for the American people to know the truth about what was done in their name.
Allegations of misuse of taxpayer funds to frame political opponents: The case of Michael Flynn and Stefan Halper highlights potential misuse of taxpayer funds by Democratic deep state and foreign partners to frame political opponents, involving individuals with ties to MI6 and the creator of the Trump dossier.
There are allegations of misuse of taxpayer funds by the Democratic deep state and their foreign partners to frame political opponents. The case of Michael Flynn and the 2014 dinner with Stefan Halper, a Pentagon contractor, is an example of this. Halper, who has ties to Richard Dearlove, a former head of MI6, and Christopher Steele, the creator of the Trump dossier, is believed to have been the source of leaks that framed Flynn. The New Yorker article, which vouches for Steele's reputation, also mentions Dearlove. The Pentagon's Office of Net Assessments reportedly made payments to Halper, raising questions about the use of taxpayer funds. These allegations highlight the complex web of connections between these individuals and the potential for government resources to be used for political purposes.
Suspicious Contracting Practices and Whistleblower Retaliation: The Office of Net Assessments paid a contractor suspected of framing Michael Flynn over a million dollars for Pentagon studies, while a real whistleblower was suspended without pay for exposing the questionable practices. This highlights the hypocrisy and lack of accountability in politics, as both parties fail to uphold democratic values and transparency.
The Office of Net Assessments, under suspicious circumstances, paid a contractor named Halper, who may have been involved in setting up and framing Michael Flynn, over a million dollars for Pentagon studies. When a whistleblower named Adam Lovinger exposed these questionable contracting practices, he was accused of mishandling sensitive data and suspended without pay. Yet, the media and Democrats are quick to protect and even celebrate fake whistleblowers against the president, while dismissing and punishing real ones. This double standard highlights the hypocrisy and lack of accountability within the political system, with both parties failing to uphold democratic values and transparency. The IG report also revealed that the FBI opened investigations on Carter Page, Papadopoulos, and Manafort on August 10, but waited six days to open a case on Flynn, suggesting a deliberate attempt to frame him using the discredited Steele dossier. The politicization of intelligence and law enforcement agencies for personal gain is a serious threat to American democracy.
Connections between key figures in Spygate scandal, impeachment, and DOJ: Mary McCord, a former DOJ official, was involved in the White House meeting where Flynn was accused of a crime and now works for Schiff on impeachment trial. She previously worked with Michael Atkinson, who approved the whistleblower complaint, and John Carlin, who signed off on FISA warrants used during Russia investigation.
There appear to be significant connections between key figures involved in the Spygate scandal, the impeachment process against President Trump, and the Department of Justice. Mary McCord, a former head of the National Security Division at the Department of Justice, who took over after John Carlin, was involved in the January 2017 White House meeting where Flynn was accused of committing a crime he didn't commit. McCord, who now works for Adam Schiff on the impeachment trial, previously worked with Michael Atkinson, the intelligence community inspector general who approved the whistleblower complaint that led to the impeachment process. McCord and Atkinson worked together in the same office under John Carlin, who also signed off on the FISA warrants used to spy on the Trump team during the Russia investigation. These connections raise questions about the motivations and coordination between these individuals and their roles in these major political events.
Nancy Pelosi's delay in sending impeachment articles to the Senate: Pelosi delayed sending articles due to reputation concerns and lack of solid evidence, but recent note from Parnas lawyer doesn't directly implicate Trump and highlights Pelosi's ego and strategic errors.
Nancy Pelosi delayed sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate due to her desire to salvage her reputation and the lack of substantial evidence against President Trump. She was reportedly waiting for new evidence to surface, which recently emerged in the form of a note from a lawyer for Lev Parnas. However, the note does not appear to be a smoking gun as it is barely legible and does not directly implicate President Trump in any wrongdoing. Pelosi's actions highlight her ego and strategic blunders, as well as the political motivations behind the impeachment process. It's important to remember that all investments involve risk and to carefully consider the terms and conditions before using financial apps like Robinhood.
Discovery of potentially damning handwritten notes: Evaluate evidence in context and be cautious of single pieces of information that may not be authentic or significant enough to alter the course of an investigation
During a discussion about an ongoing investigation, it was revealed that handwritten notes with potentially damning information had been discovered. These notes, which were reportedly from a nice hotel and contained accusations against a public figure, were being considered as evidence. However, the authenticity and significance of the notes were questioned due to their poor legibility and the fact that the person who wrote them was reportedly looking to cut a deal. The discovery of these notes was described as the "smoking gun" that could potentially change the course of the investigation. However, it was later acknowledged that the notes might not be authentic or significant enough to justify the ongoing impeachment proceedings. Ultimately, the discussion highlighted the importance of evaluating evidence in context and the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on single pieces of information.
Russian hacking allegations against Biden campaign linked firm: Unverified Russian hacking claims against a firm tied to Biden campaign and 2016 DNC hack investigator raise questions about credibility and motivations.
There are allegations of Russian hacking involving a company with ties to both the Biden campaign and the 2016 DNC hack investigator, CrowdStrike. The firm, Area 1, claims to have found evidence of Russian hacking at Burisma, a company where Hunter Biden worked. The founder of Area 1, Joe Falkowitz, is reportedly providing services to Democratic presidential candidates for free, but campaign donation records show he has also donated to Democratic campaigns. Falkowitz is also connected to Dmitri Alperovich, the CEO of CrowdStrike. These connections raise questions about the credibility and potential motivations behind these allegations. The timing of these allegations, coming during the 2020 presidential campaign, also adds to the skepticism. It's important to note that these allegations have not been verified by any intelligence community or law enforcement agency, and the origins of the information are coming from a private company with clear political ties. The similarities to the Russian collusion allegations during the 2016 election are striking, and it's crucial to approach these claims with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Speaker surprised by frequent attendance of individuals under investigation at Aspen security conference: The speaker highlighted the significance of Congressman Massey's challenge to name an American soldier's death in the War on Terror that didn't warrant the killing of Qasem Soleimani, emphasizing the gravity of the decision.
During a discussion on political matters, the speaker expressed surprise at the frequent attendance of individuals involved in various investigations against former President Trump at the same security conference in Aspen. He also shared a powerful moment from Congressman Brian Massey's speech on the House floor, where Massey challenged his colleagues to provide a name of an American soldier killed in the War on Terror whose death did not justify the killing of Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani. The room fell silent, emphasizing the gravity of the question. The speaker encouraged listeners to watch the full clip and reflect on the question posed by Massey.
