I don’t know whether they have “flipped” Flynn.

Flynn, a life-long DEMOCRAT, and original Obama-appointee, was in bed with Putin and the Russians. But even the simple fact that he remained a democrat during a time when the party had taken a hard shift to the left, in fact, communist-left, should be a big enough red flag/wake-up call to even the dimmest, most uninformed observer among us.

And don't forget that it was the Soros-supported DEMOCRATS who actually aided and abetted the Russians while they held the reigns from 2008-2016, via treasonous, or near treasonous, missile defense and nuke deals, including the Obama-Putin Iran nuke deal that Putin loves so much, then, on the heels of that, the Uranium One deal, where Hillary and Obama permitted the Russians to take control of 20% of our uranium production! This when we need to *import* uranium!

Soros-backed Obama was actually signaling the Russians even before the 2008 election when he spelled out his traitorous plans to the world in this pre-2008 election campaign speech...

Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs

February 29, 2008 :: News
MissileThreat.com

A video has surfaced of Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama talking on his plans for strategic issues such as nuclear weapons and missile defense.

The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:

Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you've been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.

First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.[i.e. not win it]

Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.

I will not weaponize space.

I will slow our development of future combat systems.

And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.

Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.

You know where I stand. I've fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don't switch positions or make promises that can't be kept. I don't posture on defense policy and I don't take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.

March 2012...

Note that this was just prior to the Uranium-One deal, where Comrade Obama furthered delivered on his promised "flexibility" on missile defense and, as he put it, (flexibility) "on all these issues".

"Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:

Obama: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it's important for him to give me space."

Medvedev: "Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ..."

Obama: "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."

Medvedev: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir."

"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." That statement tells us much about the president's mindset.

The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration.

Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president's comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.

In addition, there is the phrase "on all these issues," implying more is at stake than just missile defense."

When it comes to keeping America safe, we shouldn't be too flexible:

Sen. D’Amato Drops Bomb: Hillary Allowed Russia to Take Ownership of US Uranium to Sell to Iran

Jim Hoft
Jul 3rd, 2016

Former Senator Al D’Amato (R-NY) dropped a bomb on Sunday Morning Futures this AM. D’Amato told Maria Bartiromo that Hillary allowed Russia to take ownership of US uranium so they could sell it to Iran.

Hillary made it possible for the Russians to take control of one of our huge uranium producers and allow them to own the company, export the uranium and who do they sell the uranium to? Iran!

Now if people knew that and that the foundation as a result of that got $135 million. I think people would start saying, “What?”

It’s true.
In January 2013, Pravda celebrated the Russian atomic energy agency’s purchase of the company “Uranium One” in Canada.

That same company, Uranium One, owned uranium concessions in the United States. Because uranium is a strategically important commodity, the Russians would need approval from the Obama administration, including Hillary’s State Department, before the purchase took place.

Nine shareholders in Uranium One just happened to provide more than $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation in the run-up to State Department approval.

The Clintons took the cash from Uranium One officials before the deal was approved by Hillary Clinton’s State Department. The Clintons hid the donations which is a clear violation of the Memorandum of Understanding Hillary Clinton signed with the Obama administration wherein she promised and agreed to publicly disclose all donations during her tenure as Secreatary of State. (Via Breitbart)

The New York Times reported on the crooked deal in 2015.

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

And then there’s this...

Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) told Greta Van Susteren the deal Hillary approved gave Putin ownership of 20 percent of US uranium and Russia sells uranium to unfriendly countries, including Iran.

Obama allowing Iran to purchase uranium from Russia

Daniel Horowitz | January 10, 2017

Remember those side deals Obama forged with Iran that were not part of the text of the official treaty? Now we are finding out some of the details.

Yesterday, the Washington Free Beacon reported that Iranian officials confirmed they have received at least $10 billion in cash, commodities, and assets from Washington since 2013. And that is likely a conservative estimate.

But cash is not the only thing the Islamic Republic of Iran is receiving for gracing us with their willingness to sign onto our own capitulation.

The AP is reporting that Russia, with the support of President Obama, is shipping Iran 116 metric tons of natural uranium.

While Iranian officials have obviously declined to disclose the use of such uranium, AP notes that this is enough to enrich weapons-grade uranium for nuclear bombs:

“Despite present restrictions on its enrichment program, however, the amount of natural uranium is significant should Iran decide to keep it in storage, considering its potential uses once some limits on Tehran’s nuclear activities start to expire in less than a decade.

David Albright, whose Institute of Science and International Security often briefs U.S. lawmakers on Iran’s nuclear program, says the shipment could be enriched to enough weapons-grade uranium for more than 10 simple nuclear bombs, “depending on the efficiency of the enrichment process and the design of the nuclear weapon.” ...”

>>> I like our current situation.

It could be a good situation, if there weren't so many backstabbers in the key positions of power, such as McConnell, Ryan, Roberts, and Sessions. But since they do hold so much power right now, in our Constitutional republic, unfortunately little can be trusted or assumed to go the way conservatives desire.

Well Turtle and Ryan are not backstabbers, they are front-stabbers, we knew this since forever. Roberts you're absolutely correct since he backstabbed the Constitution and should be tried for treason. Jeff Sessions? Naturally you are as incorrect as in the other thread. But since you are not even vaguely aware of the AG job description how can you not be? Hint, "backstab" is the clue you need to consider. But we're way off-topic in a Flynn thread.

>>> It is far more than we were all expecting two years ago battling the crybabies back then.

Sorry but I don't believe that's true either. There was a strong sense of hope brewing in the air as Obozo's final term was ending, and Congressional elections had been swinging our way. I supported the outsiders Cruz and Trump, in that order, and believed if we were one year into either of their terms we'd be further along than we are right now.

Brewing in some minds maybe, but folks that have been around knew better. We were and still are facing annihilation from demographics plus the totality of a united Enemedia and both halves of the uniparty. A little nudge from President Hillary with Amnesty and TX, AZ,and some other states flip "blue" ( and the anti-Sessions kooks want to expedite this by removing the only person down there besides Trump who gives a damn ) and TX alone means annihilation, no sense even running a candidate. Anyone not understanding demographics and the electoral map were always in fantasyland IMHO.

No offense, but if you supported Cruz or any of the others that is evidence you really don't get the electoral map at all ( not to mention Article II Section 1, but we'll skip that for today :-). Before Trump came along in June 2015, this thing was over before it started, President Hillary, full stop. Anyone actually thinking any of the 16 dwarfs could get more than 1 of the 12 swing states ( let alone the 8 that Trump got ) well, they were just engaging in wishful thinking. I dissected this in explicit detail here over and over at the time.

When I said "far more than we were expecting" I was describing the Scalia pick, some action on the lower courts, and cracking the trade problem, definite items Trump would get to. We had strong *hope* that the neocon deep state would be challenged as promised, I thought it would be a hard slog with Flynn breaking them down from the inside, but I never imagined they would expose themselves like turkeys laying their heads on butcher blocks.

>>> If Trump plays this perfectly, the District Of Criminals will never be the same.

Like most of the other happy go luckies here, you're forgetting Trump isn't King, ...

"Happy go luckies?" I have no idea who your talking about, or even why your posting this part to me. Looks like you're posting boilerplate meant for some mindless Trump cheerleader. That sure ain't me, LOL. Go to CTH for that. There are plenty. And you'll fit right in with the Sessions bashers.

As above, "If Trump Plays this right" means one single thing ... the seditious coup attempt using the Russia hoax and all related activities ... it means Trump turning it around to destroy the enemy cabal. This was not anticipated by anyone, I doubt even Trump himself. So, I'm more hopeful *now* since they have wildly overplayed their hand. That is all. He has been given a mighty weapon indeed and they are worried, and should be.

You jack ass, it's only "spam" to a complete know-nothing idiot OR a Putin supporter. Because I laid it out as clear as can be that Putin is a phony, an enemy of the US, and also that this POS Michael Flynn was in cahoots with him and his agenda to bring back the evil empire. EVERYONE in the Trump administration now fully understands this, including Trump, who had been seriously misguided on Putin during much of the campaign (not the final stages).

You fake FReepers, for obvious reason, just don't want the facts to be known. You creeps are beyond despicable. And if this were my site you'd have been booted off years ago.

I'm not interested in your Russian Derangement Syndrome, that's between you and your shrink. But I still read some of your posts in the thread regardless, though you're making me think twice with your smart-ass reply.

Behave son.

“He absolutely could be guilty or he could not be guilty. I have no way to know and neither do you.”

I suppose that Trump is probably guilty of something in the broader sense, i.e., “we are all sinners”, but considering where all of the allegations are coming from, I have no time for any of it.

These MSM and Democrat claims against Trump are obviously nothing but a politically motivated hit job from the Left - it makes me laugh when people supposedly on the Right weigh and debate the merits of totally fake allegations as though they are worth the paper they are written on.

The Clintons and many others on the left are up to their necks in crooked dealings and have been for a very long time - covered up by the swamp creatures for decades.

I think if the Clintons are ever held to account it will be more of a post mortem - and not very satisfying - like the partial opening of sealed JFK files.

Nobody wants to accept it, but there is a legitimate defense for not subjecting political leaders to criminal charges: namely that nomatter how justified the charges are, we can never escape the appearance of political motivation - and once the public believes it might be political it fizzles out and rightly so.

No Clintons will ever get locked up, and neither will any Trumps - it’s probably for the best.

Fair enough. I go nuts because, after all this time, in some cases, years, there are many among us who STILL apparently don't get it on Putin and what he is up to. And I can understand that to a point, because this stuff is rather complex. The Russians are master of deception. They play 3-D chess, while many if not most of us suck at simple checkers. In any event, assuming you actually are sincere in your (American) patriotism, please at least take a quick glance at the info I've provided here, and also at my FR Home page if further interested. It's actually highly important stuff we're talking about here with an increasingly aggressive expansionist Russia on the move both in Eastern Europe and now the Middle East.

Don't put Trump, and especially Mike Pence, in the same camp with Putin pals, Manafort and Flynn.

He has been given a mighty weapon indeed and they are worried, and should be.

You're still missing the most basic obvious point, when you keep saying "if Trimp plays this right" in that Trump doesn't seem to currently have any mechanism, much less a weapon, in which to play any hand that he may or may not even have.

Sessions clearly backstabbed Trump by not telling him there was a good chance he would have to recuse himself on anything related to the campaign. A recusal that has since grown into anything related to the Clintons, per Sessions own testimony to Congress on multiple occassions. An obviously selfish move by Sessions that Trump has widely complained about on multiple occassions.

Sessions is so disinterested in listening to what Trump wants that Trump has resorted to excoriating him in interviews, and over Twitter where he has posted statements such as "DO SOMETHING!" for all the world to see.

Sessions has also rebuffed any and all requests from Congress for a second special counsel to look into Clinton and Mueller and Rosenstein, including a request from their very own DoJ oversight committee, even though Rosenstein was quick to appoint Mueller when a few ragtag liberals asked for it.

So exactly who and in what capacity are you expecting Trump to use to turn the tables on the swamp now? His bully pulpit clearly hasn't worked, as anything he says is now distorted 180 degrees or ignored. The military? Like a forced takeover of government? The press? LOL! This is why I called you a happy go lucky. You want us to believe everything will be just fine now, simply because Trump is in the White House, when the truth is a President alone has few levers he can pull on his own. Which is by design, of course, but right now he's a lone man that already had to fire many of his original incoming staff, in order to adapt to an environment that is clearly beyond his control.

To truly fix this mess, *WE* need to work hard to elect more outsiders, and true conservatives into Congress. We need to press Trump to finally clean house in all the positions he controls, which are still stacked with Obama appointees. And we need to continue to drown the media with contempt. We put Trump into office but that isn't going to be enough.

We must fight back on multiple levels, not just sit back as you are doing and claim that Trump can and should be able to correct it all,own his own, because clearly he can't. If you ask me, everyone claiming that will be the first ones to bring out the knives if and when he fails. And why wouldn't they, when they clearly don't understand the predicament we're all in right now.
