Finally! Let’s hope the idiot judge has brains enough to know the jig is up and drops the case. In the article they mention Flynn is over $4 million dollars in debt from legal bills and had to sell his house. His lawyer is going to have a field day. Hey maybe Peter Strzok is a good target for a law suit. How about Comey and McCabe? Man, do I hate those creeps.

The Latest Turn in the Michael Flynn Case
Well, I guess I might as well put in my two cents on General Flynn’s case. With the release of the latest withheld notes between the various FBI and DOJ actors in this tragedy it is now obvious to anyone but the willfully blind that this was a takedown without any crime to justify it.
Strzok, McCabe and Comey engineered the prosecution as part of their strategy of undermining faith in the Trump administration and crippling its effectiveness by removing a competent man. This was part of the whole Russian collusion myth. Now every man on the street can read the details of how they did it. The only question is what will be done to punish those who perpetrated it?
Will these criminals be allowed to walk away scot free? Between this and the Mueller investigation, three years of the Trump presidency was bombarded with false innuendo by the hostile media and the various partisan deep state actors who leaked the fake news to the press. These unelected tyrants hijacked our country and held hostage the workings of our government. Strzok, McCabe and Comey should pay a heavy price. They need to go to jail.
And there are other parties that had a direct hand in this conspiracy. John Brennan and James Clapper are up to their elbows in this thing. Letting them walk away unscathed would be a travesty of justice. With respect to the echelons above them, I assume they’ve insulated themselves and only a confession by Comey, Brennan or Clapper could shed light on higher level culpability. I’ll leave that for later consideration if we ever see justice reach as far as the mid-level criminals.
Strzok, McCabe and Comey should go to prison. But will they? Six months ago, I would have said yes. But it’s six months later and nothing has happened. Barr made a lot of noise about spying and the inappropriate actions taken by the FBI. He appointed Durham in May 2019, a year ago, to look into all aspects of the Russian collusion scam. And what has happened? As far as I can tell, nothing. My belief is that Barr and Durham are collecting evidence and waiting to see who wins the 2020 election. If Trump wins maybe they’ll slap a few wrists and publish a report about how to stop such atrocious things from ever happening again. If the Dems win, they’ll publish a report saying that everything was done by the book and the system works beautifully.
I had thought that I was as cynical as it was possible to be. I was wrong. I now believe that the deep state is basically immune to reform. Barr is an insider. He has done nothing and that is all he intends to do. It will take an outsider who tears it down with a wrecking ball to make it change. I only hope that when President Trump is re-elected that he appoints a new attorney general whose background is in the military and this man demolishes the alphabet bureaus from the top down and rebuilds them with honest men. But that is probably a fantasy that will never be realized.
Understand, I would like nothing better than to be proven completely wrong about Barr’s intentions. If I looked at the news tomorrow morning and it had a photo of Comey being frog-marched out of his house in his pajamas at 3 a.m. I would be the happiest man in the world. Hearing that Peter Strzok was turning state’s evidence and had implicated his boss McCabe in treason would make me giddy with delight. But with every passing day I think it’s more and more clear that President Trump is the only honest man in Washington. And because he is, I guess that the only honorable treatment that General Flynn will experience in this whole travesty is a pardon from the President when everyone else fails to serve justice.
William Barr Revisited
Back in the middle of April I said that although William Barr appeared to be a typical apparatchik of the Washington Swamp, the fact that some of my fellow deplorables were strangely optimistic about the prospect of Barr prosecuting the upper echelons of the Obama administration over the Russia-gate did give me pause that maybe I was being too pessimistic about Barr.
Watching Barr’s testimony in the Senate last week was very illuminating. I’m starting to think I might be wrong about him. This did not appear to be a man who was interested in placating the Left. In fact, he seemed to be a man who was confidently intent on straightening out an intentionally tangled web of lies. And because of this he seems to be charting his own course for getting it done. Appearing before the Senate and not kowtowing to the lunatic left represented there by that inveterate liar Blumenthal and that idiot Hirono demonstrated that he’s not interested in currying favor. And cancelling the House questioning when he could see that they would use it to showboat their outrage in a chamber where Republicans would be powerless to prevent a spectacle was brilliant.
The cyclone of left-wing anger and fear this cancellation caused is a wonder to behold. Shortly after his Senate appearance, the New York Times published leaked information from the cabal to try and get ahead of revelations that they knew will be publicized by the various investigations going on in the Justice Department over the overt and unlawful spying that the FBI and its allies here and overseas conducted against members of the Trump campaign. This is obviously a consequence of the Swamp anticipating grand jury testimony by members of the Russia-gate conspirators. Possibly they are hoping to sway public opinion to the idea that what was done was reasonable and legal. And if the Attorney General were a risk-averse and politically sensitive member of the swamp this scripting would probably be an effective tactic. But what if instead of being risk-averse, Barr is a seasoned law enforcement professional and someone who doesn’t like to be manipulated. And what if he is aware of just how much power and discretion the Attorney General of the United States is granted in the pursuit of high crimes and misdemeanors perpetrated against the U. S. Constitution? And further what if he knows that the President of the United States has been the victim of a railroading exercise and that said President is a vindictive bastard who would like nothing better than to nail his enemies’ hides to the barn door? Well, that could be a very interesting situation.
Now that is a very long list of suppositions. The biggest one is that William Barr is actually courageously patriotic enough to take on the entire Deep State for Donald Trump with whom he has no past allegiance. Many of the conspirators Barr would be exposing are colleagues that he has known for decades. And unless his life has been preternaturally spotless, he will be assaulted by every newspaper and television journalist that can be drafted into service by the Swamp. And even if he is as pure as the driven snow, they will attack his friends and family and if necessary, they will get crazy people to perjure themselves claiming every crime from rape and murder down to shoplifting and jaywalking. In the last extremity I wouldn’t put murder past these people. So, I still think it is entirely possible that Barr will be the firewall to shut down the Mueller investigation without the Deep State paying a price.
But I’m much less certain of it. In fact, I’m becoming more optimistic that Donald Trump has finally found an Attorney General who knows how to perform that job. And that should become apparent within the next month or two. It won’t take too long for grand juries to be convened. If I see that happening before the Fourth of July, I’ll believe that Barr is for real. What happens after that is less clear cut. I think there is a range of possibilities.
The first possibility is that the Deep State has their own firewall in place. To anyone with even a scintilla of discernment Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe have the words “fall guy” emblazoned across their foreheads in flashing red letters. I think it’s even possible that they’ve willingly volunteered for the assignment. Strzok just seems too gleefully eager to play the part he’s been assigned. If the two of them fall on their swords and accept the blame for the whole mess then it will be difficult to prove otherwise. Of course, I wouldn’t doubt that their families would somehow receive some kind of quid pro quo in the form of a multi-million-dollar kick starter paid for by the Clinton Foundation or some other crime family money laundering operation.
But if either one of them is not a willing fall guy then squeezing one or both of them will be extremely efficacious. If McCabe turns state’s evidence then Comey, at least, is dead meat. And after watching Jim Comey over the last few years I would be very surprised if he didn’t roll over and give up everyone involved up to and including his boss, Loretta Lynch. After that, who knows? Could these people be rolled up all the way to Obama. I guess it’s possible. But a thing that has to be remembered is that just because something can be done doesn’t mean it should be. Convicting a former Attorney General of the United States of conspiracy to undermine the election of a U. S. President would be tantamount to starting a civil war between the left and right. And I’m not saying it would be unjustified. Basically, what has been done is treason. But the consequences of pursuing this all the way will not be without severe consequences for both sides. Without a doubt, some limits may be imposed by the President and his Cabinet if they think it will be too explosive to pursue the white rabbit all the way down into Wonderland. But if these swamp creatures talk, the results will be at the very least assurance of a second Trump term.
Okay, that’s a lot of supposition to hang on William Barr, at this point. Let’s see what he does in the next eight weeks and that should tell us what we need to know about the conclusion of the Russia-gate hoax. Stay tuned.
CTH is Going To Be Busy With the IG’s Report for a Very Long Time
Sundance over at CTH will be mining gold out of that report until long after Peter Strzok is wearing stripes in Sing Sing. Honestly, the list of broken laws and examples of political bias are endless. Our servant masters have grown arrogant indeed.
IG Report: FBI Agent Peter Strzok Sent Weiner Sealed Indictment To His Personal Email…
CTH links to the IG’s Report on the Clinton Investigation
Sundance ends the post with this Caution “Important note. Read, but don’t focus on, the “executive summary” or “conclusions”; those two sections were written by political administrators in FBI and DOJ leadership. Focus on the substance of the documented facts within the IG report. You’ll note the specific facts don’t support the “summary/conclusion”. Analysis will follow.”
I hope he’s right. The conclusion is unbelievably weak. The corrective actions sound like Fred counseling Genghis Khan after the Sack of Samarkand to wipe his boots before tracking blood and entrails into Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood. If I were President Trump I’d demand that the DOJ prosecute Strzok, McCabe and Comey to start and fire any and all of these losers up to and including Sessions if they drag their feet getting this done.
Of course, I’m interested in Sundance’s analysis but I was hoping for something a lot more scathing than this.
Trump Takes the Next Step to Clean Out the Justice Department. More Chicken or the End Game?
The Conservative Treehouse has a pretty thorough treatment of what President Trump’s order to investigate political motivations in the DOJ’s Trump campaign spying effort means. I have to say I thought Trump and Mueller were playing chicken with each other. Maybe we’ve moved past that. Maybe this now has to be resolved by someone going to prison. Or several somebodies. Unless Mueller has a smoking gun (which seems very unlikely) it looks like McCabe, Comey and company are about to be charged with criminal charges. The thing that occurs to me is that at some point somebody is going to sing to save his own neck. None of these guys wants to go to prison. My guess is McCabe but I am only looking in from the dark outside. Maybe it’ll be Comey or Bruce Ohr or Peter Strzok. But whoever sings first will get the best deal. We live in interesting times. Let’s hope they don’t get much more interesting than they already are.
Trump vs. The State of the Union – Part 2
Trump vs. The State of the Union – Part 1 Note: this is a link to the first installment of this story.
Dramatis Personae:
President Trump (PT)
Sargeant at Arms (SAA)
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (PR)
Toffee Bredwell – An upper class British journalist from the BBC (TB)
Newt Gingrich (NG)
Melania Trump (MT)
Scene 1: US Capitol Building, 8:45 pm, directly before the State of the Union Address
TB – Good evening everyone and welcome to the BBC coverage of the American Presidential State of the Union Address. I’m your reporter Toffee Bredwell and with me here is former Speaker of the American House of Representatives, the Honorable Newton Gingrich. Welcome Mr. Speaker or may I call you Newt?
NG – Certainly Toffee, all my friends call me Newt.
TB – Thanks. Now as a former Speaker of the House you are intimately familiar with the protocol, let’s call it the nuts and bolts of this event. Can you share a little insight with our listeners about how this evening will progress?
NG – Well, normally the members of the administration and the Supreme Court will be announced by the Deputy Sergeant at Arms and when The President arrives at the Chamber door the Sergeant at Arms announces him to the Speaker. This is followed by a long walk filled with cheers and handshaking and embraces and when the President reaches the Rostrum the Speaker announces him to the Congress and after another lengthy round of applause the President begins his address. And during the address depending on the particular subject and the party of each of the attendees there could be applause, stony silence or recently even some booing. In fact, during one of then President Obama’s addresses, a Congressman shouted out “You lie!”
TB – Oh dear, how embarrassing. Do you expect we’ll experience any such breaches of civility tonight?
NG – Well Toffee, unless I miss my guess, I think we might see something a little more exciting tonight. Let’s just hope there won’t be any fisticuffs.
TB – Quite. So, I can see that the Sergeant at Arms is positioning himself so let’s shift over to the floor microphone.
SAA – Mister Speaker, the President of the United States!
TB – Well Mr. Speaker, you weren’t exaggerating. What a terrific up swelling of applause and ovation for this President. These congresspersons certainly love this President.
NG – Oh, far from it, Toffee. Most of these people despise Donald Trump but he’s just initiated a gigantic uptick in economic growth. Something that hasn’t been seen since Ronald Reagan. As long as he’s the stronger horse they’ll applaud. If things turn sour the knives will quickly come out.
TB – Ah, it’s good to see politics are the same everywhere. Well, it looks like Speaker Ryan is about to introduce the President to Congress. Let’s go to the Rostrum microphone and we’ll return after the address to review the high points.
PR – Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States.
(Long and loud applause.)
PT – Thank you Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Paul. It feels strange to be thanking you Paul. Up until the tax overhaul bill I was ready to write you off as a total loss. I was going to have you primaried by some kind of radical and who knows maybe you wouldn’t have made it. But now I’m almost fond of you. You’re still a spineless weasel but you’re my spineless weasel, so you’ve got that going for you which is nice. And Mitch McConnell, what can I say? You’re like some kind of petrified fossil that exists outside of the world we live in. It doesn’t seem possible that anything as weird as you could still exist but you do. If we could replace you with an animatronic character like a talking walrus or porcupine I believe it would increase our popularity with the voters but anyway I can’t be too mad at you either because of the tax bill.
Now, you Democrats are a different story. You all are without a doubt the lowest form of pond scum to ever successfully masquerade as human beings. Every time I think you’ve hit the ethical bottom you somehow dig a little deeper and go even lower. Let’s take for instance Dick Durbin. His lying double-crossing behavior at the DACA meeting has convinced me that if I saw Dick Durbin and a Great White Shark in the waters off of Mar a Lago I’d immediately warn … the shark! And don’t get me started on Pelosi and Schumer. The way people are leaving California and New York, pretty soon their own votes will be sufficient to guarantee their re-elections. That’s right Cryin’ Chuck, the Statue of Liberty is crying over your lousy party’s inept governing of both the City and State of New York.
But it’s not all bad, I want to congratulate Al Franken for striking out for women’s rights. He harassed enough women to ensure that a woman would replace him. Quite a tribute. And I’d also like to congratulate Maxine Waters for being so crazy that she now makes Rosie O’Donnell seem sane in comparison. When Maxine said she wasn’t a Millennial but used to be I think she meant that she was born in 1000 AD. That would explain her looks and the fact that she mostly speaks gibberish. Back then English really hadn’t been invented yet so everyone sounded like she does. And I know I shouldn’t make fun of a woman’s looks but honestly Maxine is so ugly she makes Pelosi and Hillary look decent by comparison.
And I’d like to thank the press for being so dishonest. By lying at every turn you’ve made my job so much easier. At this point I can almost guarantee that anything I say will be disputed by you folks in such ridiculous terms that even the least intelligent person will be able to tell you’re lying. You’ve become an exaggerated parody of yourselves. Well done and congratulations for ensuring the long tem demise of your own jobs.
And I’d like to thank all those federal judges both at the Circuit and Supreme Court level who keep usurping the constitutional power of elected officials. You only make it easier for me to get the electorate to understand why I need to replace as many of you as I possibly can.
I’m going to take a short break while the Secret Service frog marches the Secret Society of Comey, McCabe, Strozk and Mueller down the center aisle on their way to the hoosegow but before I do I’d just like to give a shout out to one of our guests in the gallery. I’d like to welcome Miss Stormy Daniels coming and for confirming that I have not had sex with her. But if I had she knows it would be the best sex she’s ever had and that my hands are ample and highly capable.
MT – Kurba!
PT – And Melania welcomes you too. Trump out.
(Returning to the BBC broadcast location)
NG – Hello and welcome back BBC listeners. This is former Speaker Newt Gingrich again. Unfortunately, Toffie Bredwell has passed out. Apparently kurba is Slovenian for whore and that was just too much for Toffie. Stay tuned and I’m sure he’ll revive before the President continues on with the substantive portion of his speech. But first a word from our sponsor.

Trump vs. The State of the Union – Part 1
Scene1: White House West Wing, 8am, President Trump (PT) calling for Vice President Pence (VPP)
PT – Mike. Mike. Mike!!! Where the hell are you Pence.
VPP – Right here Mr. President. I was on the phone with Ryan and McConnell. They wanted a copy of your speech to help coordinate the standing ovations.
PT – Tell’em to forget about that bull. I don’t want them cheering. Tell them to keep their seats and keep quiet.
VPP – Oh no. What are you planning Mr. President?
PT – I plan on using the speech to wake some people up and put some rats on notice.
VPP – Sir, the State of the Union speech is intended to report to the people on where we are as a nation.
PT – Well Mike, despite the fact that the economy is starting to come to life do you really think there is any reason for standing ovations? I’m going to tell them the truth. I’m going to talk about the FBI and the Justice Department and how they’re being run like the KGB with crooked operations targeting Americans because of who they are and not what they’ve done. I’m gonna talk about Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. America will love what the FBI is up to on their dime. I’m gonna talk about McCabe and Mueller and Comey and the “Secret Society” they cooked up against me. I’m gonna make their hair curl.
VPP – Oh good grief. Mr. President, I’m asking you to reconsider. You’re going to scare the American people. We have the midterms coming up and we can’t have the electorate thinking of us as the crazy party.
PT – Look Pence, you’re gonna have to man up or I’ll have to say you have the flu and couldn’t come. Besides this is gonna be great. The people are gonna get this 100%. You’ve gotta remember they’re used to seeing bureaucrats shake down citizens. They’ll rally to me when I give them the details of the plot.
VPP – Sorry Mr. President. I’ll do my best to keep on my game face.
PT – That’s the stuff. Besides once Cryin’ Chuck begins weeping you won’t be able to stop laughing. It’s that funny. Anyway, get Sessions down here. I was thinking that it might be fun to have the Secret Society rounded up and perp walked right during the middle of the State of the Union address. I want to see if he can arrange that on queue from me at the podium. Do you think it would be undignified if I had the Marine Corp Band play “Nananana Hey Hey Hey Goodbye” by Steam during their exit?
VPP – No sir, not for you. In fact, now that I’ve heard about it, I guess even I’d be disappointed if you didn’t play it. But to tell you the truth, now that I think about it, what about that Linda Rondstadt song that goes “You’re no good, you’re no good, you’re no good, baby you’re no good, I’m gonna say it again!”
PT – No you’re not gonna say it again. No I prefer Steam. It’s a classic.
VPP – As you wish sir.
PT – Exactly.
