The Remains of administration - Obama scandals coming to light

[Ender]

Based on my post, why do you think I am unaware?

My question was really based on an earlier post where you said:

And now, after subverting/co-opting the agencies of law enforcement in the United States, we’ve come to the point in the Trump presidency when they unleash their awkward attempts at payback.

This suggests you believe there is little substance to the “Obamagate” charges, and little to find in investigating the origins of the Russia probe or the actions of the DoJ et al in their treatment of Flynn, Manafort, and Papadopolous. Is that accurate? Do you believe the misdeeds of the (Obama) government did not extend beyond Hillary?

Today (Monday, June 1) could be the start of an interesting week. This is the day by which the judge in the Michael Flynn trial was ordered by the D.C. Circuit court to respond to the Mandamus petition from Flynn’s lawyer. The middle of the week is when the Senate Intelligence Committee hearings start, with the first witness being former deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

On Friday another deep state player was forced out. Dana Boente, FBI chief legal council, was forced to turn in his papers, and FBI director Christopher Wray may not be far behind. Not to worry though, I’m sure we’ll hear more about them as the investigations grind along.

Bell tolling for FBI Director Christopher Wray?

Flynn Transcripts Confirm Mueller Team Lied To The Court And Country

The newly released transcripts should cause Judge Emmet Sullivan to realize the error of his way and immediately dismiss the charges against Michael Flynn.

Sounds like the new motto at justice should be Trump saying," So let it be written, so let it be done."

 

[ProVobis]

These guys should check with each other before they give testimony. The contradictions are numerous.

Then again, if you can’t convince them, confuse them.

I think a lot of this snowballed when Trump won the election; then the concern was how to keep their actions from seeing the light of day and they just got in deeper and deeper. On the other hand, having gotten away with so much for so long perhaps they really believed they were untouchable. Who knows - they may yet be proved right.

When he buys an ivory Tower with a Golden toilet and the Post Castle we can talk elitism.

A lot Illinoisians were disappointed that Pres. Obama and the First Lady didn’t move back to Chicago. It would have been good for the city.

Oh, well. I believe his house still attracts visitors (not inside-it’s not a museum an dit’s open to the public, as far as I know). But at least people can gaze at it and then go buy a meal at one of the nearby restaurants (hopefully a local, not a chain).

Well the judge (Emmet Sullivan) and the DOJ have responded to the D.C. Circuit court regarding Flynn’s request for a Writ of Mandamus ordering the judge to dismiss the case. I have not seen Sullivan’s response (which was prepared by a lawyer he retained for the purpose and is apparently rather unimpressive), but the government’s brief has been made public, and it was signed by some significant actors within the DOJ, starting with the Solicitor General, who is expected to represent the government in the most important appellate cases across the country.

It shouldn’t take long for the circuit court to order Judge Sullivan to dismiss the charges against Flynn. Then we can see if any civil cases arise from this.

There will be more tomorrow after Rod Rosenstein’s testimony of today has been analyzed, but it is apparently not going well for him so far.

Rosenstein insists that the information in appointing Mueller was based on that incomplete information at the time. He admitted that by August 2017 when he signed off on the Mueller investigation there was no evidence at all of collusion with the Russians. (Jonathan Turley)

My my, that would seem to be a significant admission.

Rosenstein is absolutely imploding in this hearing. The most interesting take away is he’s not even trying to defend himself other than “dog ate my homework” (JohnWHuber - Undercover Huber)

His defense seems to be “Yes, I signed the document, but no, I didn’t actually read it.” Not that one will find this repeated by the MSM, but this would normally be a significant admission:

“The whole concept - that the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians - there was no ‘there’ there in August 2017. Do you agree with that statement?” (Lindsey Graham)

“I agree with that general statement.” (Rod Rosenstein)

 

[Ender]

The new DNI (John Ratcliffe) is continuing the declassification of documents relevant to the Russia hoax that was begun by his predecessor, acting DNI Richard Grenell. What a rat’s nest of collusion.

Declassified ICA Annex On Steele Dossier Proves Comey Misled Trump

The declassified intelligence community assessment annex on the debunked Steele dossier proves that James Comey misled Trump in early 2017.

And apparently the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation isn’t going away either. In fact it seems to be expanding.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jun/11/senate-approves-subpoenas-obama-officials-russian-/

The subpoenas would cover testimony from former FBI Director James Comey, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, ex-National Intelligence Director James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and others.…It would also cover documents, communications and testimony from top FBI and Justice Department officials James Baker, Bruce Ohr, Lisa Page, Peter Strozk and Bill Priestap.

Senate Intelligence Committee

No, that one is over and found no issues:

Steele Dossier Played No Role in FBI’s Russia Probe | Law & Crime

The Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday released its report on the Jan. 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), the fourth volume of the panel’s larger probe into the intel community’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

If you’ll look closely, you will see that your article is about a Senate Judiciary Committee action, not a Senate Intelligence Committee.

Ah, thank you. A Senate investigation continues, which is the important point.

In other news, it appears that Hillary may still have to answer for her use of a private email server. Her last appeal was just denied in her effort to avoid testifying (Judicial Watch v. Clinton). As of now she is scheduled to testify in September.

Let’s see. Durham is closing in on possible criminal charges against a corrupt administration and the Democrat media goes on a feeding frenzy over a killing by a cop, anarchist groups riot and set fire to buildings, cops get shot. low level cops are (rightly) charged with homicides.

The high-up criminals who attempted a coup d’etat are forgotten. Sheer coincidence, of course.

Wonder why I keep getting accused of thinking up conspiracy theories here at my house…???

Which one caused street protests in many states in our nation? Take off that victim’s cloak – some stories engender less notice from being less important. Not every publication decision involves some malice toward your particular political stance.

Obama led “a corrupt administration”? You sound like a contrarian.

 

[Ender]

Obama led “a corrupt administration”?

The evidence suggests this is the case.

“For the first time in American history, police organizations and the National Security organizations were used to spy on a campaign, and there was no basis for it. And the media largely drove that and all kinds of sensational claims were being made about the president that could have affected the election,”

AG Bill Barr Promises Accountability For Russian Collusion Hoaxers

Yes, and as soon as the corruption is coming to light, the media develop some story to absorb the headlines and divert attention.

Assume for a moment that all the conservative conspiracy theories were true, and that the entire cabal of Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Brennan, Clapper et al were not only charged with felonies, but convicted as well: does anyone have confidence that the media would present the actual facts as opposed to an invented narrative painting members of the current administration as the evil parties?

(Indirectly) watching the coverage of the Flynn case leads me to believe the media sees the truth as an irrelevancy. Despite the obvious, blatant offenses by the DOJ and FBI in prosecuting Flynn, it is AG Barr who is being castigated (in the media) for allowing the charges to be dropped.

It is no wonder the country is so radically split when the only two possible explanations involve so much corruption by one side or the other.

You think perhaps that the media developed the death of George Floyd?
