Speaking to an alumni meeting of members of his Cabinet May 9, 58-year-old President Barack Obama complained about a Justice Department decision to toss out Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s case about lying to FBI agents in the waning days of his presidency. Obama complained in his call to former Cabinet members that 70-year-old Atty. Gen. William Barr’s May 8 decision to toss out Flynn’s case threatened the rule of law. Obama forgot to mention that a Justice Department’s review of Flynn’s case by respected U.S. Atty. Jeff Jensen determined that 75-year-old former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s case against Flynn was not properly “predicated.” Yet a letter signed by 2,000 former Justice Department attorneys told presiding U.S. District Court Judge Emmett Sullivan that the case was “properly predicated.” Not one of the former Justice Department employees reviewed the evidence.
Unlike Jensen who carefully reviewed case against Flynn, politics came into play, urging Sullivan to reject the DOJ recommendation to dismiss the case. Obama’s call with his alumni comes a pivotal time, when Barr and 70-year-old U.S. Atty. John Durham (R-Conn.) are nearing completion of their probe into the origin of the FBI’s 2016 counterintelligence probe into Trump and his campaign. Obama started to sweat a little knowing that Barr’s looking up the chain-of-command to the Oval Office. Barr’s now privy to a Jan. 7, 2017 Oval office meeting with former Vice President Joe Biden, former Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch, former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy Atty. Gen. Sally Yates, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan, all of whom discussing Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
Up till the redacted transcript of the meeting was declassified by the House Intelligence Committee, no one knew with direct evidence that Obama was apprised as to what was happening with Flynn’s case. Special Counsel Robert Mueller surely saw the transcript of the meeting, trying in the 22-month, $40 million probe to determine whether or not Trump or anyone in his campaign conspired with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election. Flynn, who was Trump’s National Security Adviser designee, was under Comey’s counterintelligence investigation. Rice admitted to “unmasking” the phone call proving that Flynn spoke on more than one occasion during the transition period with 70-year-old former Russian Amb. Serge Kislyak. Flynn told FBI Agents Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka at an impromptu White House meeting Jan. 24, 2017 that he had no contact with Russian officials.
Strzok and Pientka did their job to entrap Flynn in a white lie, knowing the FBI had recordings of Flynn talking with Kislyak. Handwritten notes found from that Jan. 24, 2017 meeting asked about entrapping Flynn, getting him to lie and getting him fired. Jensen reviewed the case carefully and determined, whether or not Flynn lied to agents, the case was not properly “predicated,” meaning the underlying “probable cause” to investigate Flynn was weak, based entirely on former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s paid opposition research AKA the “Steele Dossier.” Everything in the Steele Dossier has been discredited, actually identified as Russian disinformation acquired or made up by Steele for the purpose of undermining Trump’s 2016 campaign. Obama’s conference call with his former employees raised questions about his concerns as Barr and Durham complete their investigation.
Fox News 58-year-old primetime host Sean Hannity raised suspicions of whether Obama was alerting the “deep state” to prepare for Barr’s findings. “Yes or no, Sidney: Obama’s comments this weekend—he’s been awfully quiet. Was he sending a message to deep state operatives to go our and do more dirty work?” Hannity asked. Sidney Powell is Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s attorney. “Cause that’s how I interpret it,” Hannity said, drawing more skeptics in the mainstream press. When Hannity refers to the “deep state,” he’s referring to pro-Obama, anti-Trump operatives working in various government departments, like the FBI, DOJ, CIA, National Security Agency [NSA], etc. As Barr and Durham drill down into Comey’s illegal counterintelligence investigation, the Special Counsel investigation and the deep state, it’s clear that Democrats in Congress and the press are getting nervous.
Democrats and the press like to dismiss the “deep state” as a right wing conspiracy, when, in fact, it relates to all participating in first to sabotage Trump’s 2016 campaign then to fabricate charges to remove him, via impeachment, from office. Where’s the right wing conspiracy now that Barr and Durham have uncovered the plot to sabotage Trump’s campaign and to remove him from office? Democrats and the media have been joined at the hip since before Trump was sworn in to fabricate horrific accusations about Trump’s ties to Moscow, or, more recently, with the failed impeachment, to blackmail a foreign leader to dig up dirt on political opponents. Whether accepted or not, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), House intel chief Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), House Judiciary chief Jerold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and others all fabricated charges and conspired to remove Trump from office.
