Did the FBI retaliate against Michael Flynn by launching a Russia probe?
Circa ^ | June 27, 2017

Posted on 12/05/2018 11:38:09 AM PST by detective

The FBI launched a criminal probe against former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn two years after the retired Army general roiled the bureau’s leadership by intervening on behalf of a decorated counterterrorism agent who accused now-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and other top officials of sexual discrimination, according to documents and interviews.

Flynn’s intervention on behalf of Supervisory Special Agent Robyn Gritz was highly unusual, and included a letter in 2014 on his official Pentagon stationary, a public interview in 2015 supporting Gritz’s case and an offer to testify on her behalf. His offer put him as a hostile witness in a case against McCabe, who was soaring through the bureau’s leadership ranks.

The article is from June 27, 2017 but it shows the animosity and hatred that McCabe and the corrupt FBI held for General Michael Flynn.

McCabe, then Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, altered corrupt FBI investigator Peter Strzok’s notes on his interview with General Michael Flynn.

Then McCabe destroyed the evidence.

Michael Flynn was framed by the FBI and Mueller.

Michael Flynn had previously been fired by the Obama administration.

Flynn was trying to “change the culture” of the Defense Intelligence Agency from an entity which he felt focused far too much on the political infighting that was going on in Washington, D.C. and spent too little time engaging with forward-based commanders and fighters.

“I knew then it had more to do with the stand I took on radical Islamism and the expansion of al Qaida and its associated movements,” Flynn said. “I felt the intel system was way too politicized, especially in the Defense Department.”

Who are we going to trust? The FBI? The DOJ? The rest of the Deep State?

Bad situation.

I’d like to believe the government wouldn’t persecute someone and plunge the country into turmoil over a collection of personal grudges but frankly I don’t. Hillary, Comey, and so many others have made it clear that if they can’t get their way they want to burn everything down.

Here is the other half of this story. Flynn embarrassed Obama and his Administration. Badly. They wanted revenge.

As long as Hillary is not in jail I’ve lost all faith in our government. This is all political BS.

DIA was the premier intelligence agency in the 80s.

No others came else to their accuracy and reliability.

I wonder what happened.

You have to assume that Trump was always the final target.

It was probably a “happy coincidence” for McCabe that he could settle a personal vendetta on Flynn at the same time.

As a side note, I imagine Trump may have chosen Flynn exactly because he had enemies in the deep state, showing to Trump that Flynn wasn’t afraid of confrontation with the Swamp, and also making him an ally.

This tells me the whole investigation into President Trump was nothing but a side show.

While you're at it, pray that the case doesn't come before an Obama appointed judge.

“sure.

I wasn’t talking about theory. I was talking about facts.

!. McCabe and the corrupt FBI hated Michael Flynn.

2. Former Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, McCabe altered FBI investigator Strzok’s notes on his interview with General Michael Flynn. McCabe then destroyed the evidence. McCabe then lied about it.

3. Flynn was an excellent head of DIA. He correctly reported on the failure of Obama policies and the Obama administration aid in the rise of ISIS. The Obama administration then fired Flynn.

Flynn’s record needs to be fully legally wiped clean, not by a pardon, but actually wiped clean.

The problem is, crimes will need to be proven/established, as having been committed against him. And they have been committed.

One of them is “Subornation of Perjury”. Mueller’s team is squarely guilty of this. This alone, by itself, even if not part of a seditious and treasonous coup’ attempt, should see those involved behind bars for decades, in federal prison.

This could be done even without Congress. However, the chances of this happening are next to nothing without Congress, because the DOJ deep state will not go against itself, or those guilty within the previous administration, which included Hussein the Marxist Russian puppet weenee brain.

I'm not knocking you personally.

It's just there are a multitude of theories out there; none amount to anything.

Until I see decisive action by someone on anything it's all speculation.

So take your pick. Flip a coin.

I'm now officially a confirmed cynic.

tick-tock. bombshell. boom.

The MAFIA would take out someone who crossed them. The DOJ/FBI have become the state’s MAFIA. Of course they took him out with Obama’s consent.

How could Flynn be so smart about Iraq and the rise of ISIS — when every other official, and McCain, Corker, Graham, and other GOP Senators disagreed with him — but SO stupid by taking money from the would-be New Caliph Erdogan to lobby for his Islamist Turkey?
