Re: Former Trump Administration Employees
Chico, I'm not gonna debate you on this, so don't bother responding. I firmly believe Flynn was guilty, and just because some FBI agent wrote that they had a choice to make over whether to trap Flynn in a lie doesn't make the FBI guilty of anything.
Just gonna leave this here: [quote=Barr's interview with CBS News] Barr and Trump hint at coming moves after Flynn is let off Attorney General Bill Barr gave a television interview to defend his decision on Thursday to throw out the guilty plea of Michael Flynn for lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russians. “People sometimes plead to things that turn out not to be crimes," said Barr, who argued that agents did not have a legitimate reason to question President Trump's then-national security adviser. CBS News’s Catherine Herridge asked how he thinks history will remember such a stunning reversal, which has irked many career prosecutors inside the Justice Department. “[B]Well, history is written by the winner,” Barr replied. “So it largely depends on who's writing the history.”[/B] The rest of the answer suggested that Barr intends to write it. “I mean, it's not going to be the end of it,” the Trump appointee added, referring to letting Flynn off the hook. “We’re going to get to the bottom of what happened.” [/quote] Chico, I only hope that when the Dems get power again, whether it's 4 years or 8, you extend the same courtesy to us that you do this current administration. When a Democratic Congress tells Trump he can't nominate a SC justice because 8 months is not enough time to vet the nominee, or speed-rushes federal judiciary nominees that aren't worthy through the process to pack the courts, or even when the President's lapdog drops charges against corrupt Democrats because nothing, not even the judiciary, from the lowest federal judge to the Supreme Court, is exempt from partisanship anymore. You're making the rules now, and you can bet your sweet ass we will play both those same rules when our time comes. |

No sanctions discussions with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, he told Mike Pence, the vice president-elect. He said the same to press secretary Sean Spicer. And they parroted that to the public. “They did not discuss anything having to do with the United States’ decision to expel diplomats or impose censure against Russia,” Pence said during a Jan. 15 appearance on CBS “Face the Nation. The denials set off alarm bells at the Justice Department. Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, an Obama holdover, and other senior officials knew the comments weren’t true. U.S. intelligence agencies, which routinely monitor the communications of foreign diplomats, had learned of Flynn’s discussions with Kislyak when analyzing the Kremlin’s response to the sanctions. The FBI had also opened an investigation into Flynn’s relationship with Russia. ------------------ Flynn pleds guilty to lying about having no contact with Russian officials pre-inauguration and lying that they did not talk about sanctions. ----------------------- GOP/WH, through the DNI, wont release the transcript(s) of the phone calls Flynn made prior to inauguration. Only leaking masking requests. As if making unmasking request is some kind of crime. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence reported that in 2019, the Trump administration had 10,012 unmasking requests fulfilled; 16,721 requests fulfilled in 2018, and 9,529 requests fulfilled in 2017. During 2016, the last year of the Obama administration, there were 9,217 unmasking requests fulfilled. -------------------------- Obamagate - honestly, what the fuck is Trump trying to claim here? that his campaign was being secretly spied on by Obama? In reality, your chosen National Security Adviser Flynn was talking with russian officials .. pre-inauguration. Then lied to Trump, Pence and everybody that you never talked with Russians and you didnt talk sanctions. Trump fired Flynn for lying. --------------- What am I missing? How is this the biggest political crime of our country's history? They werent wire tapping Flynn, they were wire tapping the russians Flynn was talking to when he shouldnt have. trump, the dude lied, you fired him. why now try and twist facts to make it seem like some huge conspiracy. mind blowing some people are buying into this. It doesnt even make sense. There are clearly no logical linked connections. release Flynn's phone call transcripts ... let the public decide what to think of Flynn. ------------------------- ughh fucking american politics ... i hate you. fox news .... i hate you. you are trying to spin spin spin this into something. release the phone call transcripts and let the public decide. |
Re: Former Trump Administration Employees
Considering those calls raised widespread concerns about Flynn, Democrats like Schiff in turn pressed Grenell for the underlying documents. The transcripts Grenell has declassified, though, are for five phone calls Flynn had with Kislyak on Dec. 29, 2016. Flynn's specific call with Kislyak from Dec. 22, 2016, which was picked up in surveillance and later leaked to the press, is in the FBI's possession, a source told Fox News, noting that it was not in Grenell's jurisdiction to declassify.
[url]https://www.foxnews.com/politics/grenell-declassifies-slew-of-russia-files-as-ratcliffe-takes-helm-as-dni[/url] So the phone call that startled intelligence and started the probe won’t be declassified but other phone calls will. I really hope trump doesn’t claim to the phone calls have been released and there is nothing there. Because ... that would be blatantly a lie, just ignoring the fact that the phone call that started all this wasn’t the one that was released. If the fbi has it and it’s their decision ... I can only assume it was about national intelligence and defense ... other wise, why is this phone call being treated differently from the rest. As the world turns .... |

I did it anyway and we saved hundreds of thousands of lives. I banned Europe from coming in when Italy and France and Spain were having all the problems.” ‘They’ve been wrong about a lot things, including face masks.’— President Donald Trump speaking to Sean Hannity on Fox News Thursday evening “They’ve been wrong about a lot things, including face masks,” Trump added. “Maybe they’re wrong, maybe not, but a lot of them said don’t wear a mask, don’t wear a mask. Now they are saying wear a mask. So a lot of mistakes were made — a lot of mistakes.” |

Conway, who was Trump’s campaign manager before she became one of his staunchest defenders in the White House, said that she and her husband disagreed about plenty but “we are united on what matters most: the kids,” she said. “Our four children are teens and 'tweens starting a new academic year, in middle school and high school, remotely from home for at least a few months,” Conway said. “As millions of parents nationwide know, kids 'doing school from home' requires a level of attention and vigilance that is as unusual as these times.” |
Re: Former Trump Administration Employees
Flynn and Barr not having a good day.
😊 Appeals court rules Bill Barr can't dismiss criminal charges against Michael Flynn [url]https://news.yahoo.com/appeals-court-rules-bill-barr-184116486.html[/url] Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn lost another attempt to have his case dismissed after the case had already been decided by a judge. It was just months ago that the Justice Department, led by Attorney General Bill Barr, attempted to drop the charges against Flynn for lying under oath to the FBI. The decision was 8-2 with dissenting justices coming from an appointed judge from President Donald Trump and the other from former President Ronald Reagan. It means that the decisions will now be sent back to U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington. Flynn has asked the Court of Appeals to demand Sullivan to approve the request by the DOJ to dismiss Flynn's conviction despite his multiple confessions of guilt. Flynn's lawyers didn't do well in the court arguments. |

Erica Newland, who worked in the Office of Legal Counsel from 2016-2018, says she and her colleagues were "complicit" in supporting an "anti-democratic leader". Writing in The New York Times on Sunday, Ms Newland said she stayed at the DOJ after Mr Trump's victory believing she could limit his influence on policy. But, Ms Newland says, her talents as a lawyer ended up having the opposite effect, making policies such as the 2017 ban on Muslim-majority countries more acceptable to the courts. Some two years after leaving her position, Ms Newland said she would have better served the country by immediately quitting after the president assumed office. "If, early on, the Justice Department lawyers charged with selling the administration's lies had emptied the ranks...the work of defending President Trump's policies would have been left to the types of attorneys now representing his campaign," Ms Newland wrote. "Lawyers like Mr Giuliani would have had to defend the Muslim ban in court." In coming to that conclusion, Ms Newland said she and those who also worked at the DOJ during Mr Trump's tenure owe the country an apology. "We owe the country our honesty about that and about what we saw," she said. "We owe apologies. I offer mine here." |

The GOP split is amongst us. Seems the GOP in Congress hoped to appease Trump by voting for acquittal, now Trump is forcing every GOP in Congress to clarify on where they stand. I find it hilarious (and a little sad) McConnell was probably Trump's biggest ally in Congress during his term, literally did everything he could for Trump, rammed through who knows how many unqualified federal judges for Trump (which will be Trump's lasting legacy when all of his executive orders are revoked), even voted for Trump's acquittal so he can run again in 2024, but as soon as he called Trump out for his horseshit "election was stolen" nonsense he might as well be a dog turd that Trump stepped in. Fair warning to all you of GOP/Trump supporters, you need to decide if you stand with the pre-2016 GOP or if you stand with new GOP demi-god Trump. If you're with Trump, it's loyalty above all else. As soon as you break with him on anything you're out. P.S. I really do find it hilarious Trump's original statement was gonna mention McConnell's double chins. Insulting people on their looks is as good as it gets in Trump's world. You know it was rewritten too because Trump doesn't know words like dour or sullen. Makes me wish I could see the original draft lol. |
Re: Former Trump Administration Employees
Honestly, the republican party needs a complete re-set or it needs to go the way of the dinosaurs. The pre-2016 republican party sucked. The post-2016 republican party still sucks. There are at least a few more people I like now, than on-average in the last 12 years or so.
The democratic party has some of the same issues to me. Not talking about their politics vs. republican politics, moreso, regarding how the party is somewhat split between "moderate" democrats and the more liberal wing of the party, i.e. AOC, etc. I don't really agree with either of them, so I don't know how that party will look in 4 or 8 years, but should be just as interesting to see how it unfolds. If Trump didn't spend 98% of his time fighting people and posting on Twitter, he might've got some more things done. I like Rick Santorum, that's who I wanted in 2016. By the time the CA primaries got here in 2016, he wasn't even on the ballot out here. But I liked the idea of Trump not being a career politician. I don't want old cronies like Biden or Clinton becoming president. Or Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, etc. I hope Trump doesn't dissuade conservatives from voting for someone outside of the box again down the road. Don't want to pretend like the status quo has been so great for us. |

Brian Kolfage, a decorated Air Force veteran who lost both of his legs and an arm in the Iraq War, previously pleaded guilty for his role in siphoning donations from the We Build the Wall campaign. A co-defendant, financier Andrew Badolato, was also sentenced to three years for aiding the effort. He had also pleaded guilty. A third man involved in siphoning funds from the wall project, Colorado businessman Tim Shea, won't be sentenced until June. Kolfage and Badolato were also ordered to pay $25 million in restitution to the victims. |
