    Podcast Summary

    • Mike Flynn's identity was unmasked through foreign surveillanceConcerns about misuse of surveillance powers led to revelation of Mike Flynn's identity. Protect personal info with services like LifeLock against cyber attacks.

      The Dan Bongino show discussed the revelation that Mike Flynn, a former National Security Advisor, was surveilled, likely through foreign entities, leading to the unmasking of his identity. This raises concerns about the misuse of surveillance powers and the potential for identity theft. Additionally, the show highlighted the increase in cyber attacks during the stay-at-home era, emphasizing the importance of protecting personal information with services like LifeLock. The show also mentioned the three main ways surveillance can occur: criminal wiretaps, FISA warrants, and surveillance of foreign agents. The host expressed excitement about the show's content and encouraged listeners to take advantage of LifeLock's identity theft protection.

    • Mystery Surrounds Source of Flynn-Russian Ambassador Call TranscriptThe source of the Flynn-Russian ambassador call transcript remains a mystery and it was not obtained through proper procedures such as a criminal warrant, unmasking request, or FISA warrant.

      The source of the transcript of Michael Flynn's December 29, 2016 phone call with the Russian ambassador, which led to Flynn's criminal case, remains unclear. It was not obtained through a criminal warrant, an unmasking request, or a FISA warrant. The fact that Flynn's name was not masked in the call transcripts, as reported by The Epic Times, raises questions about how the transcript was obtained if not through unmasking. Jim Comey, the former FBI director, stated that the calls were "turned up" at the end of December, but it is still unclear who ordered the transcript of Flynn's call and how it was obtained without following proper procedures.

    • Origins of Flynn-Kislyak call transcripts unclearThe acquisition of Flynn-Kislyak call transcripts lacks transparency, with the identity of the person who tasked the FBI and the justification for obtaining them remaining redacted.

      The origins of the transcripts regarding the call between Flynn and the Russian diplomat Kislyak were not clearly explained, and they seemingly appeared without proper justification. The call was reportedly found by the FBI without a FISA warrant or a criminal warrant, and the identity of the person who tasked the FBI to obtain the call remains redacted. The President of the United States has the authority to order electronic surveillance without a FISA court warrant, but it's unclear if this was the case here. The lack of transparency around the acquisition of these transcripts raises questions about the legitimacy of the surveillance and the motivations behind it.

    • IG report does not indicate a Pfizer warrant on FlynnThe IG report suggests that Flynn was likely surveilled without a warrant, and if Obama ordered the surveillance on Kislyak to target Flynn, it would be a significant political scandal.

      The IG report does not indicate the existence of a Pfizer warrant on Michael Flynn, and the chances of such a warrant are almost negligible. However, if a redacted name in the discussion is indeed Loretta Lynch, and Barack Obama ordered the surveillance on Kislyak specifically to target Flynn, it would represent a significant political scandal. The discussion suggests that the intelligence community waited for Flynn to leave the country before surveilling his conversation with Kislyak, without the need for a masking request. The identity of the person who ordered the surveillance remains redacted, and its urgency underscores the importance of revealing this information.

    • Obama administration sets a trap for Flynn during transition periodThe Obama administration intentionally intercepted a call between Flynn and Kislyak during the transition period, using it later to accuse Flynn of false statements and launch an investigation into Russian interference.

      During the transition period between the Obama and Trump administrations, the Obama administration expelled Russian diplomats from the United States with the intention of having Russian Ambassador Kislyak call Michael Flynn, the incoming National Security Advisor, who was on vacation in the Dominican Republic at the time. This call was intercepted and later used as evidence against Flynn for false statements regarding his conversations with Kislyak, setting the stage for the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. This theory suggests that the Obama administration intentionally set a trap for Flynn, which is why Obama is currently sweating bullets due to the ongoing investigation. The unmasking of Flynn's name and the acquisition of the transcript of his call with Kislyak are believed to have been ordered by Obama himself.

    • Discussion on Bravo Company Manufacturing and Michael Flynn allegationsThe Obama administration allegedly targeted Michael Flynn using transcripts of his conversations, leading to a perjury trap despite no derogatory information or contacts with Russians or the Turkish government.

      Bravo Company Manufacturing is not a sporting arms company, but rather a company that produces lifesaving equipment for responsible citizens, law enforcement officers, and soldiers. They prioritize quality above all else and are known for producing reliable, high-quality rifles and firearms. The discussion also revealed that there were allegations of the Obama administration targeting Michael Flynn, and the transcripts of his conversations were used to set him up in a perjury trap. The FBI had been investigating Flynn since August 2016, but they needed the transcripts to trap him into lying during an interview at the White House in January 2017. The transcripts were the only evidence they had against Flynn, who was later found to have no derogatory information or contacts with Russians or the Turkish government.

    • FBI's allegation against Flynn was based on a separate statement, not the interview questionThe FBI's accusation that Flynn lied during his White House interview about sanctions was based on a separate statement, not the question asked during the interview.

      The FBI's allegation that Michael Flynn lied about sanctions during his White House interview was misleading because he was never directly asked about the specific executive order involving sanctions during the interview. Instead, the FBI's statement of offense refers to a separate statement made by President Obama expelling Russian diplomats and imposing sanctions on certain individuals and entities. This distinction is crucial because it raises questions about the accuracy and completeness of the FBI's allegations against Flynn. The FBI's 302 report, which documents Flynn's interview, has been edited multiple times, and it's essential to examine the context of the statements made by both parties to understand the situation accurately.

    • FBI's handling of Flynn investigation questionedConcerns raised about potential editing and manipulation of Flynn's interview summaries, shifting focus of investigation from sanctions to diplomat expulsions, and apparent political motivation behind Flynn's prosecution.

      The discussion raises questions about the accuracy and transparency of the FBI's handling of the Flynn investigation. The speaker expresses concern that the 302 summaries of Flynn's interview, which the FBI used to justify charging Flynn with lying about sanctions, may have been edited and manipulated. The speaker also points out that the interviews did not actually focus on sanctions but rather on other matters, such as diplomat expulsions. The speaker argues that Flynn's prosecution appears to be politically motivated and a miscarriage of justice. Overall, the conversation underscores the importance of ensuring the integrity and objectivity of law enforcement investigations and the need for transparency in government.

    • Clarifying the Differences Between Russia Sanctions and Diplomat ExpulsionsDuring the Obama administration's last days, Russia faced both sanctions and diplomat expulsions. Michael Flynn discussed the expulsions, not sanctions, in an interview, but some misunderstood and accused him of lying.

      During the Obama administration in December 2016, there were two separate issues regarding Russia: sanctions and the expulsion of diplomats. Michael Flynn, who was later charged with lying about sanctions, clarified in an interview with the Daily Caller that he did not discuss sanctions but did discuss the expulsion of diplomats. The Washington Post also reported this distinction. Despite this, there seems to be confusion among some media outlets and individuals, leading to accusations against Flynn that were not based on the actual conversation. It is important to clarify the differences between these two issues to understand the context of the situation accurately.

    • Ordering contact lenses made simple with 1-800-Contacts1-800-Contacts simplifies contact lens ordering with a user-friendly website, fast and free shipping, and expert customer support. In politics, simplicity and transparency are also crucial as the media debates the collusion hoax, highlighting the importance of accurate information.

      Making things simple and convenient is important, especially when it comes to essential tasks like ordering contact lenses. 1-800-Contacts has been making this process easy for 25 years by offering a user-friendly website, fast and free shipping, and expert customer support. Meanwhile, in the world of politics, the ongoing debate about the Trump administration's collusion with Russia remains contentious. Despite evidence presented by some, such as Adam Schiff, that there may have been collusion, others continue to deny it. The Media Research Center has compiled a montage of media coverage on the collusion hoax, highlighting how the media has promoted this narrative despite evidence to the contrary. Ultimately, whether you're ordering contact lenses or navigating political news, simplicity and transparency are key.

    • Former intelligence officials raise concerns of Trump acting in Russia's interestsEx-officials like Clapper, Brennan, and McCabe have voiced worries about Trump's allegiance, while investigations continue to uncover potential corruption and errors in probes related to Russian election interference.

      Former intelligence officials, including James Clapper and John Brennan, have publicly expressed concerns that President Trump may be acting in the interests of Russia instead of the United States. Former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe also believes it's a possibility. While some may view this as a conspiracy theory, the fact that these high-ranking officials have made these statements lends credibility to the idea. Additionally, during the discussion, it was mentioned that there are ambassadors on the list of individuals who requested the unmasking of Michael Flynn's name. However, it's important to note that the ambassador may not have been the one requesting the unmasking, but rather someone in the intel community or someone else using their name for cover. Furthermore, there have been accusations of corruption within the Mueller probe, specifically regarding the prosecution of Michael Flynn for lying about sanctions when no such question was asked during the interview. The Mueller report also contains a mistake regarding the date of a history-making meeting involving George Papadopoulos. These issues add to the ongoing debate about the legitimacy and intentions of various investigations related to Russian interference in the 2016 election.

    • Inconsistency in reported date of Papadopoulos-Australian diplomat meetingThe Mueller report's discrepancy regarding the date of Papadopoulos' meeting with an Australian diplomat in London raises questions about the report's accuracy and adds to the ongoing debate about the validity of the Russia investigation findings.

      The discrepancy between the reported date of a meeting between George Papadopoulos and an Australian diplomat in London, as stated in the Mueller report versus the actual date, raises questions about the accuracy of the report. The meeting is confirmed to have taken place on May 10th, but the Mueller report states it occurred on May 6th. This inconsistency, along with other curious details such as FBI agents discussing the meeting with the State Department the day after it allegedly took place, adds to the ongoing debate about the validity of the Russia investigation findings. Additionally, the emergence of new whistleblowers and their seemingly insignificant claims further muddies the waters, making it essential to maintain a critical perspective on the information being presented.

    • Dr. Bright's contradictory statements on chloroquine and hydroxychloroquineDespite previous warnings, Dr. Bright reportedly sponsored an FDA request for emergency use authorization for chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, causing confusion and contradiction in their use for coronavirus treatment.

      There seems to be a contradiction between Dr. Bright's statements and an FDA letter regarding the request for an emergency use authorization for chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. Dr. Bright had previously warned against getting too deeply involved in the use of these drugs for coronavirus treatment, but the FDA letter indicates that it was Dr. Bright who sponsored the initiative. Additionally, Pete Haggseth's new book, "American Crusade," is recommended as an eye-opening expose on how the left is using various ideologies to crush freedom and liberty. The Dan Bongino Show emphasizes the importance of sharing the show to support political prisoner Mike Flynn and to acknowledge the efforts of internet researchers for doing real journalism during the crisis.
