Michael Flynn Resigns as National Security Adviser

[Elfiero]

Like let's just lay it all out. The media is against him, the judicial system is called a so called judge and the intelligence community is unpatriotic. This is banana Republic strongman ****. Maybe he can send secret ninja assassins into the Phoenix Airport to poison dart McCain.

lol....The McCain thing is actually a possibility with the psychopath in Chief. I hope someone on his staff alerts him to the fact that it will be a bi-partisan approved independent investigation.

Some of the Repugnican senators and Reps. have been briefed and now want to unchain themselves from the Trump **** Train before it goes over the cliff.

Well it was fun while it lasted.

(1) What does that mean, "hacked the election"? Successfully hacked the DNC and Podesta? Yes. Hack voting machines, or votes, vote-counting? No. False. You are simply parroting a false narrative. You want Obama's spunk to taste like vanilla ice cream, and thereby insist that it does, no matter the truth.

The assessment is not about the hacking of electronic voting machines or foreign interference with the vote tally process itself.

There is no evidence at this point that the Russians “hacked the election”. To frame the report’s conclusions this way is highly misleading, and clearly ideologically-driven, since it serves the purpose of attempting to delegitimize the results of our election.

What the evidence points to is that the Russians played a role in the release of private email communications from top-level Democratic Party operatives that were politically damaging to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. Again, this is not to say that foreign entities hacking U.S. political parties is not a big deal or that it should not be investigated. The point is that the current evidence for the scope of Russian interference is far more limited than the phrase “the Russians hacked the election” implies.

(2) Of course the illegal infiltration of private e-mail databases is a seriously troubling issue. Nobody on this forum has suggested that the hacking of Podesta's e-mails or the DNC e-mails was a good thing, or should not be investigated and the perpetrators punished - NOBODY.

But let's compare, shall we? In the e-mail hack, a foreign government apparently did the deed. And you frothing at the mouth at that hacking, and have no concerns about the contents of the hacked e-mails.

But the information about phone calls is leaked by our own goddamn intelligence community, not some foreign ******* power. And that release of privileged intelligence causes you literally zero concern - NONE. All you care about is content.

Do you see the patent dishonesty you are engaged in here? Do you see that being more concerned about our enemies hacking and attempting to hack our information sources should cause you VASTLY less worry than OUR OWN ******* INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY DOING THE LEAKING????

I guess you're not a fan of deep throat?

Bwahahahaha! Excuse me, deep throat part 2

Keep telling me about what great patriots you are while not giving a **** about the country.

All that matters is nuthugging your ferret topped cheetoh.

But I suppose CNN has digitized it and has Baldwin speaking for him.

You're not too far off from the alt right reality. Also, Trump likes to either deny he said something or have someone on his behalf stress that he shouldn't be taken literally... but we're somehow supposed to still take him seriously.

Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal

Details how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West.

Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.

“As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation.”

Ian Telfer, Uranium One’s chairman, used his family foundation to make four donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons

Sally Yates Should Be Investigated For Her Possible Role in Watergate-Style Surveillance

As an attorney with prior professional experience dealing with Sally Yates, I can imagine no one better who needs to be put under investigation herself. Now, information leaks that Sally Yates knew about surveillance being conducted against potential members of the Trump administration, and disclosed that information to others. Even Richard Nixon didn’t use the government agencies themselves to do his black bag surveillance operations. Sally Yates involvement with this surveillance on American political opponents, and possibly the leaking related thereto, smacks of a return to Hoover-style tactics. As writers at Bloomberg and The Week both noted, it wreaks of “police-state” style tactics. But knowing dear Sally as I do, it comes as no surprise.

The Evidence

According to published reports, someone was eavesdropping, and recording, the conversations of Michael Flynn, while Sally Yates was at the Department of Justice. Sally Yates knew about this eavesdropping, listened in herself (Pellicano-style for those who remember the infamous LA cases), and reported what she heard to others. For Yates to have such access means she herself must have been involved in authorizing its disclosure to political appointees, since she herself is such a political appointee. What justification was there for an Obama appointee to be spying on the conversations of a future Trump appointee?

Consider this little tidbit in The Washington Post. The paper, which once broke Watergate is now propagating the benefits of Watergate-style surveillance in ways that do make Watergate look like a third-rate effort, references the FBI “routinely” monitoring conversations of Americans if those conversations happen to be with foreign diplomats, and then notes there were “subsequent intercepts” of Flynn’s calls. The paper additionally noted Yates listened to “the intercepted call,” even though Yates knew there was “little chance” of any credible case being made for prosecution under a law “that has never been used in a prosecution.” Indeed, the paper details an apparent effort by Yates to misuse her office to launch a full-scale secret investigation of her political opponents, including “intercepting calls” of her political adversaries.

Did Yates obtain a warrant for this activity? Did she disclose to the White House she was working for (as a temporary hold-over) that she was using her office to intercept their calls whenever she could? Did she then leak intercepted calls to the press, as it is apparent she is leaking part of the story now? These are facts that call for investigation, and Yates should be a prime target of that investigation.

Former CIA Analyst: Yes, Former Obama Officials Were ‘Directly Involved’

Former CIA analyst and U.S. Army Reserve Lt. Col Tony Schaffer was pretty straightforward in his Fox Business appearance today, where he said that Obama officials were definitely behind the leaks—and even named a few of them (via Free Beacon):

"Risk and Reward" host Deirdre Bolton asked Shaffer whether he thought leaks from the Obama administration were "the problem."

"Absolutely," Shaffer answered, saying the Obama administration was "directly involved" with the leak.

Shaffer said the blame lay "squarely at the feet of" the former CIA director John Brennan, former director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper, and former deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes.

Emergency hearing sought to stop NSA 'spying' on Trump

Attorney Larry Klayman, the founder of Freedom Watch, is asking a federal court to hold an emergency hearing on the National Security Agency, alleging “likely” CIA “spying” on President Donald Trump.

In an emergency supplement filed Wednesday with the U.S. District Court in Washington, he said the NSA and “likely the Central Intelligence Agency are continuing to violate the [Fourth] Amendment to the Constitution and related statutes.”

Klayman charged the agencies spied on President Trump, the White House, his former National Security Adviser General Michael Flynn and others in his administration.

How The Nation’s Spooks Played The Game ‘Kill Mike Flynn’

National Security Advisor Gen. Michael T. Flynn (ret.) — who resigned Monday — was the victim of a “hit job” launched by intelligence operatives, Obama government holdovers and former Obama national security officials, according to former intelligence officials who spoke with The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.

The talk within the tight-knit community of retired intelligence officers was that Flynn’s sacking was a result of intelligence insiders at the CIA, NSA and National Security Council using a sophisticated “disinformation campaign” to create a crisis atmosphere. The former intel officers say the tactics hurled against Flynn over the last few months were the type of high profile hard-ball accusations previously reserved for top figures in enemy states, not for White House officials.

“This was a hit job,” charged retired Col. James Williamson, a 32-year Special Forces veteran who coordinated his operations with the intelligence community.

Spies Keep Intelligence From Donald Trump on Leak Concerns

U.S. intelligence officials have withheld sensitive intelligence from President Donald Trump because they are concerned it could be leaked or compromised, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter.

The officials emphasized that they know of no instance in which crucial information about security threats or potential plotting has been omitted. Still, the misgivings that have emerged among intelligence officials point to the fissures spreading between the White House and the U.S. spy agencies.

In some of these cases of withheld information, officials have decided not to show Mr. Trump the sources and methods that the intelligence agencies use to collect information, the current and former officials said. Those sources and methods could include, for instance, the means that an agency uses to spy on a foreign government.

A White House official said: “There is nothing that leads us to believe that this is an accurate account of what is actually happening.”

Intelligence officials have in the past not told a president or members of Congress about the ins and outs of how they ply their trade. At times, they have decided that secrecy is essential for protecting a source, and that all a president needs to know is what that source revealed and what the intelligence community thinks is important about it.

House GOP leaders demand Justice Department inspector general probe leaks surrounding Flynn

House Republican leaders are pressing the Justice Department’s inspector general to investigate whether officials “mishandled” classified information, including leaked communications between members of the Russian government and the Trump administration that brought about Michael T. Flynn’s resignation as national security adviser.

“Generally, collection activities by intelligence agencies are classified,” Chaffetz and Goodlatte wrote, arguing that the act of monitoring Flynn’s call, the substance of the call, and any warrants sought to monitor Russian bank records were also probably classified.

“The release of classified national security information can, by definition, have grave effects on national security,” they wrote, stressing that their committees had the right to launch an investigation.

'Wake Up!': Kucinich Says Intel Community Making 'Unprecedented' Effort to Upend Trump

Gallup is MSM? Who knew?

He won because of the electoral college which is a disaster left over from compromising with the slave states.

The people never wanted him....3 million votes verify it.

Our country is a Republic, not a democracy.
Democracy is two wolves and one sheep deciding what they'll be having for dinner.
As previously pointed out, our founding fathers foresaw this issue where one particular city/state would have a far greater population than another. So they gave each state power in the election of the president based on their population. It's actually quite genius.
As far as your "Dems have had 5 elections stolen from them", I implore you to listen to ALL of the liberal media in the 30 days leading up to the elections of George W. and Trump. They repeatedly predict and paint the picture of the Democratic nominee winning the electoral college and losing the popular vote and saying, "that's how our country is set up and that's how they run their campaign to win the electoral college, not the popular vote. The Democratic nominee is playing it smart, etc...."
Then when it goes south on them, and their strategy backfires because they just go after the heavy coastal states and completely ignore middle America, they whine about the unfair system.
If we went to a popular vote, 8 states ( California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Georgia ) would decide the election EVERY time. The other 42 states would be irrelevant. Doesn't the so called party of tolerance, inclusion, and democracy see this as a bad thing if people in the majority of states are completely ignored by both parties as they would focus on only those 8 states every election cycle and only cater to and listen to the needs of the people in those 8 only?
Our founding fathers were wise beyond their years.
