[Trending Politics] For those who are watching closely, a sense of panic is beginning to emerge among the ranks of senior Obama regime officials following the DOJ's dropping of the case against General Michael Flynn.
The framing of Flynn was an abominable politically motivated hit job of the type that is commonplace in third world hellholes but unprecedented here in the United States Of America.
With more damning evidence emerging on an near-daily basis detailing the complicity of Obama's inner circle, judgment day may rapidly be approaching for those who have engaged in what some suggest is treason.
One of those who could end up being fitted for an orange prison jumpsuit is former CIA director and current MSNBC talking head John Brennan, a notoriously vicious man with a hair trigger temper and a reputation for ruthlessness.
On Saturday, Brennan uncorked another one of his trademark Twitter tantrums attacking President Trump.

That's an interesting question Clem. I believe the Orange Man pulled his access a while back. I really do wonder how many of these scoundrels are still walking around with clearances.
#5
/\ A quick Web search seem to indicate that although Trump "tried" to revoke his clearance, Brennan still has it. Articles I saw were from around May 2019.
#6
/\ We know the agency who 'issued' the clearance. If what you read is accurate Clem, we now have another excellent example of who holds the power in Washington.

Besoeker found a link to an extraordinary summary of an actual whistleblower's revelations that were apparently spiked by Comey & Mueller's FBI hatchet man, James Baker.
We may have found Obama's version of G. Gordon Liddy.

Brennan, like many others in the "O" administration have a very high and over-inflated opinion of themselves; bunch of dangerous narcissists. How did this dyspeptic dolt (Communist and Muslim) ever get to be head of the C_A?
[Federalist] A Dallas salon owner was thrown in jail this week by a local judge after defying state restrictions ordering her business remain closed. Shelly Luther was fined $7,000 and ordered to seven days in jail by District Court Judge Eric Moye on Tuesday whose ruling has since become a nationwide controversy highlighting the growing tensions under lockdowns where government-mandated closings are throwing millions out of work.
Luther was released on Thursday however by the Texas Supreme Court which came just after the state’s Republican Governor, Greg Abbott issued an executive order retroactively suspending local ordinances that throw citizens in detention for noncompliance with local stay home orders.
"Throwing Texans in jail who have had their businesses shut down through no fault of their own is nonsensical, and I will not allow it to happen," Abbott said the day after Luther was given jail time.
Abbott Spokesman John Whitaker made clear in a statement to The Federalist however, that the governor’s executive order still allows local fines and other penalties such as license suspensions to be handed down to those who open without authorization, implying Luther may still have to pay $7,000.

A Gofundme on her behalf was in the hundreds of thousands last I heard. This POS Judge is trash, and got spanked by his betters. Demanding an apology was the last straw

So, he's been fishing for a federal judgeship but hasn't got it? Guess something makes him a less than ideal candidate, even for a dem?

The $7000 was paid by the Texas Attorney General if I heard right. Judge Moye is supposed to file an answer to the Texas Suppreme Court by 4pm today.
[Spectator] Even if you could understand why lockdown was imposed, it very rapidly became apparent that it had not been thought through. Not in terms of the wider effects on society (which have yet to be counted) and not even in terms of the ways that the virus itself might behave. But at the start, there was hardly any evidence. Everyone was guessing. Now we have a world of evidence, from around the globe, and the case for starting to reverse lockdown is compelling. Here are 10 reasons why I believe that it is wrong to continue with lockdown and why we should start to reverse it immediately and rapidly.
It's Kurt
[Townhall] Let’s take a moment to bask in the glow of liberal pain as the wins keep coming and our enemy’s defeats mount. LTG Mike Flynn was freed of the leftist frame-up. That lady in Texas was freed from jail after refusing to kiss the Ted Lieu of an Obama pal by apologizing for the "crime" of wanting to feed her family. And the awesome Ric Grenell freed the transcripts of the House’s garbage Russia hoax investigation, revealing that the CNN talking Schiff-heads who assured you that Trump and Putin were making out in the onion dome of the Kremlin were telling a very different story under oath.

said lockdowns will end when the governors have to explain to government employee unions that, er, uh, um, all the lockdowns have stopped the flow of tax revenues and, well, there’s no money for inflated union paychecks
Bingo. The pro-lockdown constituency will shrink faster than the line outside a free buffet when price tags suddenly appear.

Unions, eh? Funny you should mention that. Gov. Gretchen "Lockdown" Whitmer recently decreed that the auto plants can re-open. In an unexpected burst of sense, the parts suppliers are also included in the deal since without parts, nothing gets built.
[Western Journal] The term "Deep State" has become quite popular during the Trump years, only because of how these entrenched government networks have been exposed by the conservative media and by President Donald Trump himself. It refers to cabals of long-time government bureaucrats and officials who are part of the permanent political establishment.
These informal networks may also include well-connected Capitol Hill staff, influential political consultants, and leaders of leftist activist groups and foundations.
Of course, there is no formal membership. Rather, such networks are held together by common ideology and interests.
They have sought to maintain their power and influence regardless of which party controls the White House and are imbued with an arrogant "We know what’s best for America" attitude. They regard themselves as the "real government" and consider most elected officials as ignorant, bothersome obstacles. Oftentimes, they operate in secret and many at one time may have been political appointees, but once someone hostile occupies the White House, they shift into protected Civil Service positions to maintain power and influence. They usually have establishment media allies and are far more connected to Democrat politicians than Republican ones.
Their ideology is on the left — and they are scornful of conservatives. More specifically, those who hold this ideology typically favor subverting U.S. interests to international entities such as the United Nations and the International Criminal Court and support treaties and agreements that put the U.S. at a disadvantage. Examples of this would be the Iranian nuclear deal, the Kyoto global warming treaty and many of the so-called "free trade" deals.

It started back in '48 when Washington decided to be a world policeman, trashing the structural relationships of the Constitution in the federal government and between it and the states.
[American Thinker] After seeming years of silence, and plenty of billionaire vacays, President Obama is on the warpath. Here's what the Washington Post is reporting:
Former president Barack Obama shared deep worries Friday about the Justice Department’s decision to drop its prosecution of ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn, telling old aides on a call that "our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk," according to a recording obtained by Yahoo News and confirmed by an Obama spokesperson.
Obama also appeared to slam the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic as an "absolute chaotic disaster," offering the sort of blistering criticisms he has rarely aired in public. Obama said shortly before President Trump took office that he would only weigh in on his successor’s actions when he believes "our core values may be at stake."
Obama was speaking to something called the "Obama Alumni Association," a real nod to the faculty lounge, but in reality, a likely flying monkey corps waiting for activation, the leaked phone call just the first step.
The New York Times, citing leaks, called Obama "deeply angered."
And if so, that's not surprising. A huge Obama White House effort to spy on a political opponent and prevent him from serving in public office is slowly being exposed.
So the ridiculous carp about President Trump's coronavirus crisis leadership being 'absolute chaos' is nonsense, a naked bid to knock down President Trump.
And his Flynn complaint is complete nonsense. The Flynn prosecution was dropped because of naked prosecutorial misconduct. Prosecutors do that because they know their cases aren't going to win.
Rule of law? Since when does prosecutorial misconduct of the worst kind merit not dropping a tainted case? Bad cases based on this reason are thrown out all the time, (just ask former California prosecutor Kamala Harris, whose cases stand to be thrown out wholesale based on prosecutorial misconduct). Anybody who's going to prosecute others has got to be damn clean or the system loses credibility. For Obama to 'warn' about rule of law, as if that were something he ever cared about before this, is disingenuous. It's also projecting, a typical passive-aggressive Obama maneuver to say the least. That Obama arranged for this leak, under cover of 'private conversation' is simply a joke.

Jonathan Turley does a masterful job of demolishing Obama's claim of 'No Precedent', suggesting Eric Holder might be able to refresh his memory. Link

Zero's sh!tting his skinny jeans now.
After all the evidence is brought to light, this lying, redirecting bastard will do prison time.
at this point I think the best we can hope for is a few lower-level coup plotters to get pinched, all the masterminds will be 'pardoned' in order to 'heal the political divide in the country'

Obama in jail would warm the cockles of this old man's heart.......

Obama in jail? Sure, we can dream and we would all love to see it, but it'll never, ever, EVER happen.
But in the spirit of decency and fair play, if some of his underlings were to start trying on some orange jump suits (Holder, Brennan, etc., et al.), then I would be a bit more content.

With any luck, this will keep his man/wife out of politics for a while.

If this destroys his retirement income because he comes to be seen as unable to deliver any quo for their quid, as happened to the Clinton Foundation, I will be content.

^ Alas he's already pocketed his two sweetheart deals, the NFLX $68 million thank-you payment (for "net neutrality" BS at Obama's FCC) and the Pearson / Random House Penguin $65 million thank-you payment (for awarding Pearson a $350m Common Core textbook publishing windfall).
He and his Wook already plowed the proceeds into their McMansions in Kalorama / N.W. DC and on Martha's Vineyard.
Hitting him in the pocketbook won't do. He needs to go prison so that this atrocity never happens again in our Republic.
[Just The News] Shortly after my colleague Sara Carter and I began reporting in 2017 on the possibility that the FBI was abusing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to spy on Americans during the Russia investigation, I received a call. It was an intermediary for someone high up in the intelligence community.
The story that source told me that day — initially I feared it may have been too spectacular to be true — was that FBI line agents had actually cleared former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn of any wrongdoing with Russia only to have the bureau's leadership hijack the process to build a case that he lied during a subsequent interview.
In fact, my notes show, the source used the words "concoct a 1001 false statements case" to describe the objections of career agents who did not believe Flynn had intended to deceive the FBI. A leak of a transcript of Flynn's call with the Russian ambassador was just part of a campaign, the source alleged.
