The whole thing smells wrong.
Here, it is almost triple blackmail-by-leaks: Flynn (and son?) getting leaked BY the FBI/CIA conspirators for conspiring to leak “good information” about the Muslim cleric to offset “bad information” leaked about the same Muslim cleric relationships’ with the Clintons - while BOTH videos showing claims of “good relationships” were in public knowledge all the time?
Yet. It is probably true: The same way that Obama’s FBI-CIA-State Dept WERE leaking and creating false information about Russian prostitutes getting by Trump. Brennan-Casey-McCabe-Comey’s FBI-CIA was capable and culpable of exactly this sort of games.
An astounding mass and mess of intrigue. We should all be more afraid and paranoid than we already are. That is what someone in the intelligence community told a BIL type, “The problem is not that you are paranoid. The real problem is that you are not paranoid enough.”
this was in the news...iirc....we were not goint to hand him over. the end
The article is not very clear, but your instincts are correct.
What is becoming clear is that the lobbying game in DC, already a dank swamp, has become much more of a “pay to play” system than it already was thanks to the Clinton’s. If you go back and read the articles about the Obama foundation it is pretty clear that they intended to play the game. Biden and his son got in on the act with China/Ukraine. Kerry’s son also benefited from the China deal for the hedge fund.
Possibly more so than at any point in our nation’s short history, we had a government for sale. It is not just direct money either.... look at the revolving doors at Treasury, DOJ, and the Fed with Goldman Sachs and other big Wall Street firms. You can leave Goldman Sachs and go be a “public servant” for a few years before returning to the private sector for lucrative contracts and bonuses working on the same things you just directly influenced and can often indirectly influence through contacts with current “public servants.”
The DC swamp has a major corruption problem and it sadly became far worse under the two Presidents prior to this one (yes, Bush also - see housing crisis and Iraq). They benefit from all of it - wars, deficit spending, bailouts, housing bubbles, free money to big banks in the name of quantitative easing, foreign aid, etc etc.
One might wonder how much of the 150B for Iran was going to come back to the Obama Foundation? The Clinton Foundation? Just a guess on my part, but a pretty educated one.
Look at what Soros and others have done with dark money in politics masked as social justice, advocacy, etc. He took the Planned Parenthood model and has created a gigantic web of far left groups that are funded in part by the taxpayers! Neat trick..... Eric Holder and DOJ diverted seized money from DOJ to these “social justice” groups. Think about that for a second - it’s real. “Green Jobs” was another taxpayer diversion scam. Wink, wink, nod, nod, we give you 100 million dollar grant or loan guarantee and you kick back 10%. Never mind that it is borrowed money.... the Fed plays along as do the Republicrats and the media who are now effectively an arm of the far left.
I do not think Americans understand 1/10th of how corrupt our nations “leaders” have become. Trump is a gigantic threat to them all. I believe Barr understands instinctively that our intelligence services and DOJ were absorbed into this same corruption and it is obvious they were. His statement about everybody dying and he not being worried about his “legacy” was very interesting to me....
McCabe’s wife received money from the Clinton’s indirectly as a “candidate for state office” and McCabe had a bright future in government OR a lucrative private sector gig awaiting. Comey has numerous ties to these same groups and people and the same thing awaited him although he bungled that with his ridiculous press conference of “no reasonable prosecutor”. Had it not been for the FOIA request over Benghazi we still would not know to this day that she used a private email server and the rest would be history - she would have probably won the election.
We have only scratched the surface my FRiend. THIS is why they fear Trump and are so hellbent on his destruction. He threatens a very lucrative system that is very powerful. People’s livelihoods depend on the game. There are dozens more Paul Manafort’s who did the exact same thing he did (see Tony Podesta or Sid Blumenthal), but who did they target and take down? Flynn tried to play the game (who can blame him - everyone was) and he got burned with one foot in their world and one foot in his world exposing.... the game. Flynn was naive’ and he found out you cannot serve two masters.
Trump is indirectly exposing the corruption simply by existing. “Drain the swamp” was his pledge. “Promises made and promises kept” is his cheer. However, he has not directly gone after them even as they have thrown everything they could against him. He is the least naive’ President we have ever had IMO, but I think even he has been shocked and stunned at how deep this goes. The DC game is far more sophisticated than political fundraisers in NYC and other means of “donation” and that was what Trump thought of as “corruption” - not the DOJ, CIA, State, Fed, Treasury, the media, etc etc.
He has been a helluva President so far and far exceeded my expectations, but I am starting to understand why he probably will not take them on directly. He has a family and they have already targeted them viciously. Think it will stop when he is out of office? I don’t.
It is so ugly that there better not be a single person with the last name Trump living in New York when he leaves office. They have openly promised to practice state lawfare against his friends and family.
