Testifying in the House Judiciary Committee, 43-year-old Aaron Zelinsky, former U.S. Atty. from Maryland and former prosecutor for Special Counsel Robert Mueller, told 73-year-old House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) that 67-year-old Roger Stone got special treatment. “Roger Stone was treated differently because of politics,” Zelinsky told Nadler. Zelinsky quit the Justice Department with three of his colleagues Feb. 11 after 69-year-old Atty. Gen. William Barr struck down sentencing guidelines, recommending that Stone spend nine years in prison. Zelinsky,. who’s a liberal Democrat, fit in nicely with Mueller’s team of largely Democrat prosecutors going after 74-year-old President Donald Trump. Zelinsky say nothing to Nadler of what really happened with the Stone investigation, and, today, with 62-year-old Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn whose case was tossed out by D.C. Second Court of Appeals.
Zelinsky gave Nadler what he wanted, total anti-Trump, anti Atty. Gen. Bill Barr smoke-blowing, insisting Stone got preferential treatment. “What I heard repeatedly was that this leniency was happening because of Stone’s relationship to the president, that the acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia was receiving heavy pressure from the highest levels of the Department of Justice, and that his instructions to us were based on political considerations,” Zelinsky said, giving Nadler and other Judiciary Committee red meat. Zelinsky knows that Stone was a minor player, a buffoon, opportunist, gadfly and party animal in Washington for the last 40 years. Accused by the Mueller investigation of having contacts with WikiLeaks Julian Assange, Zelinsky and the Special Counsel team were desperate to tie Trump to Moscow. Fingerning Stone, or his friend conspiracy writer Jerome Corsi, showed Mueller’s desperation.
Flynn’s case ends the grandstanding by U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan, who considered completing the trial after Atty. Gen. Bill Barr ordered the case dismissed May 7. Today’s order by the U.S. Second Court of Appeals to dismiss the case ends the partisan wrangling, accusations and counter-accusations, regarding Flynn’s case. Declassifed information revealed that Flynn was set up Jan. 24, 2017 by 59-year-old former FBI Director James Comey and 50-year-old former FBI Agent Peter Strzok. Strzok was fired by the FBI for his email and text message scandal between his lover, former FBI legal counsel Lisa Page. Both exchanged defamatory emails and texts, vowing to keep Trump from becoming president. If that weren’t bad enough, a recently declassified personal note by Strzok indicated that his boss, Comey, said Flynn’s conversations with the Russian ambassador were not criminal.
Meeting in the Oval Office Jan. 5, 2017 with former President Barack Obama President, former Vice President Joe Biden, Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch, former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, former U.N. Amb. Samatha Powers and former Deputy Atty. Gen. Sally Yates, they all discussed Flynn’s alleged violation of the 1799 Logan Act, barring a private citizen for conducting U.S. foreign policy. For Obama to call the meeting two weeks before Trump’s inauguration, shows his vindictiveness against Trump and his transition team. Strzok, who went to the White House Jan. 24, 2017 with Agent Joe Pientka, knew that Comey said there was nothing wrong with Flynn’s conversations with 69-year-old former Russian Amb. Sergey Kislyak, yet went anyway to entrap Flynn.
Zelinsky knew all of this but continued under oath to tell Nadler that it was only politics, blind loyalty to Trump, that resulted in Barr wanting to reduce Stone’s nearly four-year-recommended sentence. Stone was far less significant than Flynn, yet Zelinsky insisted politics, not fairness, played into Barr’s decision to lighten Stone’s sentence. “What I say was the Department of Justice exerting significant pressure on the line prosecutors in the case to obscure the correct Sentencing Guidelines calculation to which Stone was subject.—and to water down and in some cases outright distort the events that transpired in his trial and the criminal conduct that gave rise to his conviction,” Zelinsky told Nadler. Barr told Zelinsky his reasoning for making an exception to Stone, based on the entire investigation that wasn’t properly predicated from Day One, using former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s bogus “Steele dossier.”
Zelinsky was used as a patsy for Nadler, parading around another Democrat hack to besmirch Atty. Gen. Bill Barr before he indicts Comey and other members of Obama’s national security team for illegally investigating Trump’s 2016 campaign. Barr and U.S. Atty. John Durham (R-Conn.) are investigating the origin of Comey’s counterintelligence investigation in Trump and his 2016 campaign, also deciding the legitimacy of the Special Counsel Mueller investigation. Nadler can’t contain his bias, doing everything possible to discredit the Attorney General. “The sickness that we must address is Mr. Barr’s use of the Department of Justice as a weapon to serve the president’s petty, private interests,” Nadler said. Nadler knows that it’s his “petty” interests to get Trump out of office that drive everything he does as House Judiciary Chairman. Barr delivered justice for Flynn and now for the Obama administration.
