"These new FBI documents show the FBI was more concerned about a whistleblower who told the truth about the infamous Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting than the scandalous meeting itself."

"The documents show the FBI worked to make sure no more details of the meeting would be revealed to the American people. No wonder the FBI didn’t turn these documents over until Judicial Watch caught the agency red-handed hiding them. These new documents confirm the urgent need to reopen the Clinton email scandal and criminally investigate the resulting Obama FBI/DOJ sham investigation."

Said said Judicial Watch President Tom Litton, quoted in "Judicial Watch Releases 29 Pages of FBI Clinton-Lynch Tarmac Meeting Documents Previously Withheld by Justice Department."

Agreed! Back in 1924 a young J. Edgar Hoover was made head of the FBI to clean up a thoroughly corrupt agency. We clearly need to do that again, after Mueller and Comey corrupted it. I'm sure there are honest agents in that agency, but do they even constitute a majority anymore?

The Clinton-Lynch meeting was supposed to be
secret. We only know it happened because a single enterprising local reporter got a tip and broke the story. Hillary's 9/11 collapse was supposed to be secret. We only know about it because a random guy took a cell phone video. You have to wonder what else they successfully kept secret.

Tarmac meeting? Who leaked!!!!

Spying on General Flynn? He lied!

Michael K म्हणाले...

The FBI has certainly gotten corrupted the past 40 years. Mark Felt overthrew the duly elected President Nixon by manipulating the WaPoo and its two young reporters. The fact that he had all the dirt on Nixon, weak as it was, means they had been surveilling US presidents at least back to Johnson and Kennedy.

The Clintons seemed to be able to swing them from self preservation, like Felt, to active cooperation with the CCF, the Clinton Crime Family, I wonder what Obama skeletons they know of ? Valerie's connections ?

Bay Area Guy म्हणाले...

Despite its storied history, the FBI does have factions within its ranks - the leftwing faction is headed by Andrew McCabe.

The "tarmac meeting" was clearly crooked. Lynch gave her assurance to Bill, that Hillary would not be indicted, Bill gave his assurance that Lynch would either get re-appointed AG under a Hillary administration, or a cushy position elsewhere if Hillary somehow lost.

Feeling a sense of guilt for acquiescing to McCabe and the leftwing faction, Comey accepted the non-indictment, but proceeded to trash innocent Hillary anyway at the press conference calling her 'extremely careless." Unintentionally, this pierced her with a devastating political wound.

In the end, the bogus "non-indictment" and crooked tarmac meeting turned out to be Hillary's downfall.

Gotta love DC, Baby!

FBI agent battling Deputy Director McCabe - August 30 2017:

Former Supervisory Special Agent Robyn Gritz was one of the bureau’s top intelligence analysts and terrorism experts but resigned from the bureau five years ago after she said she was harassed and her career was blocked by top FBI management. She filed a formal sexual discrimination complaint against the bureau in 2013 and it was Flynn, among many others, who publicly came to her aide ....

“They’ve poisoned the 7th floor,” said Gritz, referring to the actual floor where management is housed in the FBI’s Hoover Building. “There’s a cancer there of a group of people. You’ve seen it with some of the recent reports of leaks, conflicts of interest, you see it in my case. The level of integrity is lacking. I have never seen or heard of the amount of conflicts of interest, or leading by fear" .....

Earlier this year, a highly-classified phone conversation between Flynn and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak was leaked to the press, prompting his removal as top national security advisor for President Trump. The classified leak and the fact that McCabe plays a central role in the Russia investigation has left Gritz deeply concerned for Flynn ....

Of course the FBI wasn't concerned about the illegal surveillance and leaks concerning the Trump campaign. The FBI wasn't concerned about IRS crimes. The list is long. The FBI is only concerned about the truth when it makes them look as like the political hacks they are, then they cover it up.

I wonder if the FBI has any actual underlying crimes on Flynn related to Trump or is lying about a political non-crime all they got. My guess is that those crimes will have nothing to do with Trump.

Collusion with the Russians isn't a crime unless money change hands with a foreign national. It wouldn't have been illegal for the Russian Ambassador to be the Trump Campaign's Manager, if the position was not paid. Foreign nationals can volunteer for American campaigns, they just can't vote or donate money or receive money.

The FBI has become so politicized, they are now the swamp's political secret police.

Bay Area Guy म्हणाले...

Trump needs to get this tax bill passed, pronto. This will enable him to build up the political support to fight Mueller.

Flynn has a tightrope to walk. If he goes full John Dean, (who I believe was a lying asshole), then he's gonna get hit back hard by Trump and his supporters. If he withholds, Mueller will squeeze, threaten his son with jail, and bleed him dry.

Trump will pardon Flynn in time as long Flynn didn't take any bribes. He'll do it after the midterms or after these "collusion" investigations find nothing to hurt him.

If I was Trump I'd have a Special Council appointed to investigate Hillary's emails, the Uranium One sale and whether any Hillary campaign funds were paid to foreign nationals. That's just a start, fight fire with fire. Make the left think twice about this attempted slow roll coup.

I like the "fire everyone" part, but the "start over" seems unnecessary. Note that What Flynn is charged with is "lying to the FBI". Same as Scooter Libby. Same as Martha Stewart. Of course, "lying to the FBI" actually means "pissing off an FBI agent". Anything you say can and will be lied about to destroy your life in a federal courtroom, by agents who are careful not to record the statements they testify are lies.

A fun parlor game out here in the bay area was to hear hillary supporters try to come up with an alibi as to why bill clinton was meeting with the Attorney General on a secluded part of a runway while Hillary's email "matter" was still under investigation. The excuses where priceless. Good times.

Michael K म्हणाले...

There is no need for a pardon.
I argued early this year, it remains unclear why the Obama Justice Department chose to investigate Flynn. There was nothing wrong with the incoming national-security adviser’s having meetings with foreign counterparts or discussing such matters as the sanctions in those meetings. Plus, if the FBI had FISA recordings of Flynn’s conversations with Kislyak, there was no need to ask Flynn what the conversations entailed.

@Michael K,

"It was a setup by Obama and Lynch to punish Trump for winning the election."

That's true. But here's the problem. Flynn has a lot of [bleeping] secrets. He was the Director of Defense Intelligence Agency for 2 years under Obama. Then, he formed his private Intel group, and then he joined up with the Trump campaign, speaking at the RNC convention in July 2016.

And, now he's gonna have to sing to Mueller. The Guilty plea stems from post-election conversations, but the squeeze will be on all pre-election conversations. And once he starts singing, you have to cross your fingers as to what he shared with Trump during the campaign, and, worse, whether Trump acted on them.

I love Andy McCarthy. But I'm more pessimistic than him.

Gk1 म्हणाले...

All I can say after millions of dollars spent, habitual leaks from Mueller's office and 24/7 wishcasting by the press and this is all they got?

This is all about a coup / impeachment. I imagine the real dirt on Flynn is his prior foreign operations not the Trump campaign. Like Manifort's problems.

There is nothing illegal even if Trump managed Flynn's Russian conversations. The conversations weren't illegal and lying about them is just politics, which is no business of the FBI.

Truth is we all knew Flynn and the Trump transition team was in contact with the Russians. We now know Flynn kept Putin from retaliating against the USA for Obama's sanctions. Jesus! Trump's foreign policy was successful prior to being sworn in. WINNING!

Not hard at all to understand if you remember why Trump fired Flynn. Trump fired Flynn for lying. Why would Trump then pardon Flynn for also lying to the FBI? That would be dumb and unreasonable.

Right now, Trump look like the honest broker who thinks liars should be punished. On the other hand, Mueller has as a star witness an admitted liar that was first identified as such by Trump months ago.

MacMacConnell म्हणाले...

Even after Trump had fired Flynn Trump asked Trump to go easy on him because of Flynn's past service.

Trump will pardon Flynn after the midterms or after his re-election, it's about political timing. Maybe Flynn can talk his Russian connections to donate a shit load of cash to the Trump Residential Library.

The Republicans should in time shut down their Russia investigations and officially report Trump has done nothing illegal, Trump then fires Mueller for running beyond his purview. Then Trump tells NSA to survail all Obama and his past national security appointees for the next four years, including Comey and Mueller. You do know Obama is shadowing Trump's world travels and talking to world leaders. FBI could interview Obama, catch him in a minor lie and indict. Hell trump could pardon him too.

When I watch this whole thing I get the sense that it wasn’t going to be enough for Hillary to win the election, they were sowing the seeds to try to absolutely destroy trump and anybody associate with him after Hillary had won the election. My observation is that is how the Clintons play the game.

The plan was obviously complicated by the fact that Hillary didn’t win election.

Then there were some tracks that had to be covered in the Obama administration, And they turned to trying to sew seeds to get trump later.

That’s kind of what I think happened

Freder Frederson म्हणाले...

Now that Flynn has flipped it is hard to understand why Trump didn't pardon him.

Putting aside the fact that pardoning Flynn would be an abuse of the pardon power, and may be grounds for impeachment, pardoning Flynn (or anyone involved in this mess) is a double edged sword. Once a pardon is granted their is no Fifth Amendment claim against self-incrimination.

MacMacConnell म्हणाले...

Bay Area Guy
So true, it's hard to fight back without the media on your side, see Nixon vs Clinton impeachments.

I think Trump will just ride it out, if he did what I would do the media would accuse him of obstruction and "illegally" firing Mueller just like they did with the firing of Comey. Fuck the fact that Trump ultimately is their boss, they serve at his pleasure.

I just hope even if he gets kicked out he has already stacked the judiciary and rolled the shit out of regulations. The is real reason for the Get Trump Squad, they fear him .

Joe Veenstra म्हणाले...

I read all of the documents, it shows the DOJ being concerned about multiple items, including the meeting itself, how B.

There is no reason to pardon Flynn as he was set up by the Obama DOJ which was recording and un,asking US citizens. Flynn was doing his job. His mistake was to respond to the FBI.

They only reason they asked him about the call they were not supposed to know he was a party to was to entrap him in a perjury trap. Just like Scooter Libby and Martha Stewart.

This is the last sting from the dying Obama adder.

I wouldn't phrase it quite like that. I would say that Team Trump has a very weak link (Sessions) in a very ruthless contest for supremacy. The Comey leak to get Mueller appointed stinks. Having Rosenstein as Deputy AG also stinks. But admittedly, it is a self-inflicted wound.

The power game requires leverage. Getting leverage on Clinton or Obama or Comey may slow down the Get Trump Squad. Sessions can't get leverage. He's too weak.

It's a terrible thing. If you lose on the merits (which the Dems did), you politely fade away. That's what Al Gore did in 2000 (correctly and graciously, in my view).

The permanent campaign is bad for our country and our institutions, you know that.

The Dems tried to hijack electoral college voters, tried to sue, tried to get recounted, boycotted the inauguration, all this chickenshit stuff -- just because they lost.

It'd be better if the "Get Trump Squad" disbanded, ratcheted down, and tried to win the next election, fairly and squarely. Instead, these idiots are ready to impeach, and manipulated the judicial process to find the grounds to do so.

My 2 cents.

I have known a few lifelong Republicans who just can't get over Trump. I am aware of them because I supported Trump specifically to get such lifelong Republicans out of the driver's seat. I always felt that some of these Republicans were jerks who missed the point, but that doesn't mean I doubted they were Republicans. For example, there is no doubt in my mind that Jonah Goldberg is a lifelong Republican.

If Chuck says he's a lifelong Republican, I have no reason to doubt him. He is no different from a number of other lifelong Republicans I have known. Rather than fussing about if he's really a Republican, we should be focusing on why his wing of the party lost when it became apparent that the McCain-Romney types lacked what it takes to lead the party to victory and the country to something other than a continuation of the Clinton-Obama decline.

It cannot continue like this. You are in another bubble, much of it made of optimism that the administration will finally pull you out of your growth trap. But the administration is weak, and if it is overcome by overwhelming institutional power the optimism will vanish instantly. Then you will have yet another recession, a very desperate one, as you are already mortgaged to the gills. There will be no Bush/Obama option to spend your way out of it.

Janet Yellen, of all people, is yelling about it. Which she very conveniently didnt 2014-16.

Politics changes in a real economic crisis.

Hedge.

Obviously you support Treason, for the sake of your Democrat "team". The defeat of the political establishment and establishment is coming, and coming big. The Crooked Old Lady is in hiding, letting the media carry her water, because she has no real support, and most sane people hate her, and besides she is very sick (mind and physical). The polls are a lie. For instance, the head of the company that does the poll for NBC (Hart) donated $278K to Clinton's campaign.
Some of the accusers of Trump even work for the Clinton Foundation.
Of course that means nothing to you.

Mick did come back for a few days last November, but IIRC he was very restrained about taking credit.

He had a singular obsession about Obama and once Obama was gone the whole thing was moot, I think, and he lost interest.

That, or he was a moby finally hoist by his own petard. I don't think so, his birtherism was quite intricate. But perhaps I underestimate the urge to work at being a moby.

I don't understand why any American citizen would not be intensely interested in rooting out corruption in government.

How can anyone (not involved in the corruption) not be in favor of this? It should be priority number one of the people ruled by that government. LLRs, and Ingas included. (TTR gets a pass because he is just plain ass nuts). None of us are going to have the government we want until this happens. Buwaya, your pessimism is misplaced, we will get this done.

If the comeback is 'Trump first', fine. That is already happening. Why the disdain for looking at Clinton's/Obama's part in all this? (It's the central issue when talking about government corruption, imo, especially if you think Trump is a lightweight).

As said above - evidently logic is on holiday.

“Of course the FBI wasn't concerned about the illegal surveillance and leaks concerning the Trump campaign.”

They weren’t concerned because they were the ones doing it. Apparently, the FISA wiretaps of Gen. Flynn were apparently installed and operated by the FBI, or at least orchestrated by them. And they appear to have been involved in taking the fake Trump Dossier to the FISA Court to get the FISA warrants - even after questioning the providence, validity, and accuracy of the Dossier. And may have even helped Crooked Hillary and the DNC fund it. Which is to say that the FBI appears to have been somewhere between complicit and an active participant in working with Russians to swing the election to Clinton, or at least discredit their new boss.

Meanwhile, Good news:
Global warming has not accelerated temperature rise in the bulk atmosphere in more than two decades, according to a new study funded by the Department of Energy.

University of Alabama-Huntsville climate scientists John Christy and Richard McNider found that by removing the climate effects of volcanic eruptions early on in the satellite temperature record it showed virtually no change in the rate of warming since the early 1990s.

“We indicated 23 years ago — in our 1994 Nature article — that climate models had the atmosphere’s sensitivity to CO2 much too high,” Christy said in a statement. “This recent paper bolsters that conclusion.”

Christy and McNider found the rate of warming has been 0.096 degrees Celsius per decade after “the removal of volcanic cooling in the early part of the record,” which “is essentially the same value we determined in 1994 … using only 15 years of data.”

This is almost certainly true. A transition team consists of members of the outgoing administration, too. The contents of what Flynn said were not approved and were certainly not put up for approval, but the incoming administration is perfectly within its rights and responsibilities to discuss policy changes are going to occur with foreign governments. I went over every lie Flynn is said to have told, and not one of the items undercuts Obama Administration policy. Flynn told the Russians to not overreact to the sanctions Obama issued because Trump would undo them in January anyway, and he asked them and others to delay a UN resolution that the US wasn't even going to vote on in any way- just abstain. There isn't even a Logan Act violation here.

meeting last year between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton triggered a hunt within the FBI for a source who talked to a reporter about the controversial encounter, newly released government emails show. The emails, released by the watchdog group, Judicial Watch, show that FBI agents in the bureau’s security division were miffed about an article that appeared in the New York Observer detailing the logistics of how Lynch and Clinton came to meet on the tarmac at Phoenix’s airport on June 27, 2016.

Remember how they lied and said that the meeting was coincidental and that they talked about grandchildren?

Corrupt FBI boss in Greensboro, NC blocks duty agent from interviewing victim and three other witnesses.

Please blog my whole article about a whistleblower that has leaked correspondence and written a letter to Congress about the FBI boss in Greensboro, NC resident office has ignored federal crimes committed by corrupt judicial employees. Actual perjury, obstruction of justice by cover up or destruction of prosecution records and sweeping a perjury case under the rug since the perjury was conducted by a witness of the US Attorney in a criminal case that they maliciously prosecuted in bad faith. This isn't the only case the FBI has ignored. They also ignored a case reported by U.S. Congressman Mark Walker (R-NC) regarding Phil Berger Junior. accused of campaign money laundering. The FBI in Greensboro is refusing to investigate cases of public corruption. If anybody in Government or campaign offices may be engaging in criminal behavior, tjhe FBI boss in Greensboro will likely say all of them are "merit-less". So any proof of a witness saying multiple false statements in federal court is "merit-less" in a Greensboro FBI case?

A whistleblower has revealed corruption of the FBI boss at the Greensboro, North Carolina, FBI office at 1801 Stanley Road.

He has revealed that the duty agent was already set to have the leaker come down to the FBI to give a statement in regards to his federal criminal complaint against a Assistant US Attorney witness that has committed perjury in order to wrongfully punish that witness and interfere with his ability to timely file his actual innocence claim for his 2255 motion.

https://wp.me/p9wgvv-4w "LEAK: Docs regarding Greensboro, NC FBI shut down of perjury case, Wikileaks letter"

Cover up and destruction of some of prosecution files as admitted by Cheryl Sloan, intimidation and gag order request by corrupt Asst. US Attorney Anand P. Ramaswamy. They are trying to gag order and seal all records proving that the Government's criminal case was absolute BS (yes Bull you-know-what) and was meant to taken down an journalist that was featured in a New York Times article before he was wrongfully railroaded on a crime that he didn't commit. So he leaked all documents through his mother to my blog. The FBI ain't too happy about that so they may come after him for what he did. We need all whistleblower support blogs to cover this issue. Please!
