Explosive New FBI Notes Confirm Obama Directed Anti-Flynn Operation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Newly released notes confirm President Barack Obama’s key role in surveillance and leak operation against Michael Flynn, the incoming Trump administration national security adviser. The handwritten notes, which were first disclosed in a federal court filing made by the Department of Justice on Tuesday, show President Obama himself personally directed former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates to investigate Flynn for having routine phone calls with a Russian counterpart. He also suggests they withhold information from President Trump and his key national security figures.

The handwritten notes from fired former FBI agent Peter Strzok appear to describe a Jan. 5, 2017, Oval Office meeting between Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Comey, Yates, and then-national security adviser Susan Rice. The meeting and its substance were confirmed in a bizarre Inauguration Day email Rice wrote to herself.

It was at this meeting, which was confirmed by testimony from Comey and Yates, that Obama gave guidance to key officials who would be tasked with protecting his administration’s utilization of secretly funded Clinton campaign research, which alleged Trump was involved in a treasonous plot to collude with Russia, from being discovered or stopped by the incoming administration. . .

“Make sure you look at things and have the right people on it,” Obama is quoted as saying.

Comey’s description that the Flynn-Kislyak phone calls appear “legit,” shorthand for “legitimate,” is also in the notes. Until this week, this exculpatory information was withheld from Flynn and his defense team, multiple congressional committees, and the American public. A lengthy campaign to illegally leak selectively edited defamatory information through media accessories damaged the Trump administration and spurred the appointment of a special counsel to investigate anyone associated with the Trump campaign.

BET Founder Mocks Crowds Pulling Down Statues: ‘Borderline Anarchists’; Pew Research: Only 1-In-6 Protesters Are Black

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. BET founder Robert Johnson, in an interview Wednesday with Fox News, blasted those who are toppling Confederate and other statues across the nation as “borderline anarchists” — while challenging the notion that black Americans support this.

People tearing down statues “have the mistaken assumption that black people are sitting around cheering for them saying ‘Oh, my God, look at these white people. They’re doing something so important to us. They’re taking down the statue of a Civil War general who fought for the South,” Johnson said. “You know, black people, in my opinion, black people laugh at white people who do this the same way we laugh at white people who say we got to take off the TV shows.”

Johnson, who became the country’s first black billionaire in 2001, has made a $14 trillion pitch for reparations to descendants of slavery. But he said the movement to take down statues, cancel TV shows and fire professors does nothing to close the wealth gap that has persisted since slavery.

It’s “tantamount to rearranging the deck chairs on a racial Titanic,” Johnson told Fox News. “It absolutely means nothing.” . . .

“Look, the people who are basically tearing down statues, trying to make a statement are basically borderline anarchists, the way I look at it. They really have no agenda other than the idea we’re going to topple a statue,” Johnson said. “It’s not going to give a kid whose parents can’t afford college money to go to college. It’s not going to close the labor gap between what white workers are paid and what black workers are paid. And it’s not going to take people off welfare or food stamps.” (Read more from “BET Founder Mocks Crowds Pulling Down Statues” HERE)

Pew Research: Only 1-In-6 Protesters Are Black, 46 Percent Are White

By Breitbart. Only about one-in-six protesters over the last month are black Americans, while the plurality are white, according to Pew Research Center analysis.

Though recent protests and riots have been centered around racial tensions with law enforcement, only 17 percent of protesters have been black, while 46 percent are white, 22 percent are Hispanic, and eight percent are Asian, the analysis shows.

The data reveals that black Americans are not the largest minority group represented in the protests. (Read more from “Pew Research: Only 1-In-6 Protesters Are Black, 46 Percent Are White” HERE)

Flynn Breaks Silence After Appeals Court Orders Dismissal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn on Wednesday spoke out on his case for the first time, calling the federal appeals decision to order his case dismissed a “good thing” for him and his family and “a great boost of confidence” for the American people and “our justice system.”

Flynn, on Wednesday afternoon, surprised Rush Limbaugh by dialing into his radio show, just hours after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ordered a lower court to allow the case against him to be dismissed, as requested by the Justice Department, likely ending the years-long legal saga stemming from the Russia investigation. . .

“I just want to say from the bottom of our hearts, you know, you’ve been right from the beginning, and we can’t thank you and your listeners enough for all the support that they have given us through this, through this fight,” Flynn said. “Obviously the fight’s not over, as you’ve been highlighting…not just today, but for a long time.”

Flynn added that “what the decision today is really—it’s a good thing for General Flynn, it’s a good thing for me, it’s a good thing for my family, but it’s a really great boost of confidence for the American people and our justice system.”

“Because that’s what this really comes down to,” he continued. “Whether or not our justice system is going to have the confidence of the American people in it, and boy—“ (Read more from “Flynn Breaks Silence After Appeals Court Orders Dismissal” HERE)

Five Major Witnesses Rebut Bolton Book

/0 Comments/in , /by

At least five major witnesses reject substantive claims in John Bolton’s forthcoming, 592-page memoir titled “The Room Where It Happened.” . . .

1. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: Pushing back hard against Bolton’s credibility and access, Pompeo told Fox News host Sean Hannity Monday that Bolton was shut out of key meetings because colleagues were worried that Bolton would leak or lie about the meetings.

“I haven’t read the book in its entirety, but the excerpts I’ve seen, there’s lots of falsehoods, there’s lots of lies contained there,” Pompeo told Hannity, saying he disagreed with the book’s title, “The Room Where It Happened.”

2. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer: At a Senate Finance Committee hearing Wednesday, Lighthizer firmly rebutted Bolton’s claim that President Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping for help winning the 2020 election. “Absolutely untrue, never happened,” Lighthizer said. “I was there, I have no recollection of that ever happening. I don’t believe it’s true, I don’t believe it ever happened.”

3. Bolton’s former chief of staff Fred Fleitz: The fact that Trump “decided last June not to bomb Iran,” Fleitz told Fox News, “disproves” what he called the premise of Bolton’s book — that the “president doesn’t have principles [and] he’s not qualified to lead.”

Democrats Create a Workaround to Advance Voter Fraud

/0 Comments/in , /by

Despite what the media tell people, outside large urban areas, leftist political ideology isn’t very popular in America, and that’s true despite decades of leftism in education, news, and entertainment. Leftists, however, have developed a way to circumvent the fact that stubborn Americans will not vote for Marxist policies or politicians: they use judges to advance their agenda. That’s why, as we saw with the Brett Kavanaugh nomination, leftists will do anything to get their people on the Supreme Court and to keep conservative judges off the Court.

What works best for leftists is to have state attorneys and judges willingly work with them to overthrow the will of the people, the written law, or the Constitution. In Minnesota, leftists are using this tactic to force mail-in only voting on the state. Mail-in voting is an invitation to uncontrolled voting fraud, something that mostly favors Democrats. After all, the Democrats’ idea of a good election is to walk through the streets calling, “Bring out your dead!”

. . .The good news is that the Trump campaign and the local Minnesota Republican Party are actively fighting the tactic. Their fight is only going to be as effective as the federal courts in Minnesota allow it to be. As we’ve seen with the hard-left Ninth Circuit and the Roberts-controlled Supreme Court, activist judges believe that the black robes they wear give them a magical conduit to a purer form of “truth” that is always Marxist.

Michael Flynn Wins Ruling Ordering Judge to Dismiss Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Bloomberg. A federal appeals court ordered a judge to immediately dismiss the criminal case against President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

A divided three-judge panel on Wednesday said U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington did not have the authority to decide on his own whether to grant the government’s surprise motion to dismiss the case or examine whether it was part of a corrupt effort to aid one of Trump’s political allies.

“This is plainly not the rare case where further judicial inquiry is warranted,” the court said. “The government’s motion includes an extensive discussion of newly discovered evidence casting Flynn’s guilt into doubt.” (Read more from “Michael Flynn Wins Ruling Ordering Judge to Dismiss Case” HERE)

Conservative Judges Order the Dismissal of Michael Flynn’s Case

By NBC News. . .By a 2-1 vote, a three-judge panel said U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan had no choice but to grant the Justice Department’s motion to drop the case against Flynn.

“Because this is not the unusual case where a more searching inquiry is justified, and because there is no adequate remedy for the intrusion on ‘the Executive’s long-settled primacy over charging decisions,’ we grant the petition for mandamus in part and order the district court to grant the government’s Rule 48(a) motion to dismiss the charges against Flynn,” Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee, wrote in the three-judge panel’s majority decision.

. . .Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec tweeted on the ruling as well, posting, “WIN in General Flynn’s case.”

Judge Robert Wilkins, appointed by former President Barack Obama, authored a partial dissent to the court’s ruling on Wednesday, saying that the appeals court should have waited to see whether Sullivan granted or denied the government’s motion to abandon the case before deciding whether to order him to drop it.

Why are Authorities Letting Jeffrey Epstein’s Fixer Ghislaine Maxwell Get Away With It?; Mystery Filing to Prevent Alan Dershowitz Access to Secret Epstein Files; Judge Hammers Dershowitz’s Lawyer

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Since the death of sex trafficker-rapist-pedophile Jeffrey Epstein last August, the woman who allegedly recruited his many, many underage girls and sexually abused them herself has been in hiding.

[But] Ghislaine Maxwell has hardly been moving cave-to-cave. Most recent reports put the 58-year-old in a luxury apartment in Paris, right off the Champs Elysees. . .

So: where is the urgency? Why hasn’t this depraved criminal suspect, one who by many credible accounts sexually abused minors for years, been arrested yet?

. . .Maxwell is one of the world’s most wanted women, sought by the FBI for questioning. Yet before the lockdown, she was seen swanning around Paris, patronizing high-profile, four-star restaurants and cafés, dropping into art galleries, a scarf tied around her head as if she were Jackie O on Fifth Avenue.

These are the defiant actions of a remorseless woman who knows she is well protected. Her hiding seems almost performative. Maxwell isn’t hunkered down on a private island or on a yacht in international waters. Her whereabouts are well known. (Read more from “Authorities Are Letting Jeffrey Epstein’s Fixer Ghislaine Maxwell Get Away With It” HERE)

(Editor’s note: the reason why they’re letting her get away with it is because she has the world’s rich and powerful on video tape committing lewd acts with children)

Mystery Filing: Don’t Give Alan Dershowitz Access to Secret Jeffrey Epstein Files

By Law and Crime. Someone really doesn’t want celebrity attorney Alan Dershowitz to access the long-sought-after tranche of secret Jeffrey Epstein files. But we don’t know who it is.

An unknown person represented by counsel filed a letter motion with the Southern District of New York (SDNY) on Monday arguing that Dershowitz should not be allowed to bypass the system for release of the Epstein files. That system is the result of a years-long legal battle hashed out between attorneys for Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre and Epstein’s alleged groomer Ghislaine Maxwell.

John Doe alleges in the filing:

By [a recently submitted court] letter, Dershowitz sets forth his intent to seek an order compelling Plaintiff Giuffre “and others” to produce “all filings and discovery materials, including third-party discovery,” from Maxwell, including documents governed by the Maxwell Protective Order and sealed materials presently under review by this Court pursuant to the agreed-upon protocol.

Judge Repeatedly Loses Patience With Alan Dershowitz’s Lawyer During Hearing on Jeffrey Epstein Files

By Law and Crime. A federal judge repeatedly lost her patience with an attorney representing Alan Dershowitz during a Tuesday hearing over two separate but related defamation cases concerning Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged global elite-servicing sex trafficking operation.

The specific subject of the hearing was a recent Dershowitz motion to modify a years-old protective order in the settled defamation case between Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s alleged groomer. While the actual controversy between Giuffre and Maxwell ended in 2015, Giuffre and her legal team have fought for years—occasionally alongside attorneys for the media–to unseal the documents in that case.

The process of sealing, unsealing and eventually releasing those documents has been controlled by a protective order issued by the Southern District of New York (SDNY) in 2016. A pitched legal battle has been fought in recent years to have those documents released to the public due to the highly sensitive allegations they likely contain. . .

Giuffre has long alleged that Dershowitz, who previously worked as of Epstein’s lawyers, was one of the men who took part in Epstein’s alleged network of young girls. She also alleges that Dershowitz had sex with her approximately six times. Dershowitz has consistently maintained his innocence and repeatedly called Giuffre a liar. He said they’ve never met.

Armed Protesters ‘Take Over’ Wendy’s Parking Lot

/0 Comments/in , /by

Armed protesters stood guard on Tuesday at an Atlanta-area Wendy’s, the site where Rayshard Brooks, a black man shot twice in the back by an Atlanta police officer, died earlier this month.

Earlier in the day, a group of people had “taken over” the burned-out property in South Atlanta, according to local reports.

People living in the area also have complained that the protesters who remained were no longer peaceful, but instead were using the space for their own gain and at times blocking people on the street from getting by.

They claimed the Atlanta police weren’t doing much to solve the problem, making life for those living in the neighborhood a living nightmare. . .

Jones has been living about a mile from the Wendy’s where Brooks was shot and said it’s been physically difficult to get to her neighborhood ever since the group took over the parking lot and began wreaking havoc. (Read more from “Armed Protesters ‘Take Over’ Wendy’s Parking Lot” HERE)

Woman Turns to Supreme Court to Get Her Guns Back

/0 Comments/in , /by

In 2013, Lori Rodriguez called San Jose police to her home because her husband was having a mental health crisis and making violent threats. Seven years later, she is petitioning the Supreme Court to force the city to return her guns.

“It’s not right. I shouldn’t have to do this to get back what’s mine,” Rodriguez told the Washington Free Beacon. “They violated several of my constitutional rights.”

Rodriguez claims police ordered her to open the couple’s gun safe so they could seize all of the weapons in the home after her husband was detained for making threats that the city says included “shooting up schools.” Cops seized not only her husband’s weapons but also the guns that were personally registered to Rodriguez. The city has repeatedly rebuffed her requests to return her property.

The suit is now the sole case with Second Amendment implications remaining before the Court after the justices rejected 10 other gun-rights cases on June 15. Rodriguez’s legal challenge comes as the federal government and a number of states debate “red flag” bills that would allow authorities to deny gun rights to citizens. It has the potential to clarify the extent to which the Second Amendment protects individuals from seizures of firearms.

San Jose city attorney Richard Doyle did not respond to a request for comment. The city defended its actions, saying that authorities were within their rights to confiscate the guns, calling Rodriguez’s claim “borderline frivolous.” (Read more from “Woman Turns to Supreme Court to Get Her Guns Back” HERE)

North Korea Reportedly Threatens ‘New Round of the Korean War’ to End U.S.; North: Kim Suspended Action Against South for Korean Impasse

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. North Korea’s embassy in Moscow has threatened to use its nation’s nuclear weapons against the United States in what they claim would be “a particularly sensational event,” a Russian state-owned news agency reports.

The reporting comes from the TASS news agency, a state-owned wire service known largely as a propaganda outlet for the Kremlin, which claims the embassy sent them the threat in the form of a statement over the weekend.

The agency quotes the embassy as stating, “This year, the U.S. military has been carrying out various kinds of military maneuvers in South Korea and its vicinity with the purpose of striking North Korea quickly.”

“A new round of the Korean War will add a particularly sensational event to the history of mankind, which will put an end to another empire, whose name is the United States,” it continues.

While the statement has not been reported elsewhere, it was released in the days ahead of the 70th anniversary of the start of the Korean War. (Read more from “North Korea Reportedly Threatens ‘New Round of the Korean War’ to End U.S.” HERE)

North: Kim Suspended Action Against South for Korean Impasse

By AP. North Korea said Wednesday leader Kim Jong Un suspended a planned military retaliation against South Korea, in an apparent slowing of the pressure campaign it has waged against its rival amid stalled nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration.

Last week, the North had declared relations with the South as fully ruptured, destroyed an inter-Korean liaison office in its territory and threatened unspecified military action to censure Seoul for a lack of progress in bilateral cooperation and for activists floating anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the border.

Analysts say North Korea, after weeks deliberately raising tensions, may be pulling away just enough to make room for South Korean concessions. (Read more from “North: Kim Suspended Action Against South for Korean Impasse” HERE)
