General Michael Flynn plead guilty to one count of lying to the FBI on November 30, 2017.
General Flynn was found guilty of lying to the FBI – about conduct that was completely legal.
Since his guilty pleading there have been some strange events.Continue Reading
On May 16, 2017, details from a James Comey Memo were leaked to the New York Times.
“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” Mr. Trump told Mr. Comey, according to the memo. “He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.”
On May 17, 2017, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as Special Counsel.
Comey specifically noted he leaked his Memos to obtain Special Counsel appointment.
It worked.Continue Reading
The full enormity of what is happening within the GOP and Washington is just beginning to sink in, the possibilities just beginning to take hold.
A glimmer into what’s coming was revealed last night when Newt Gingrich, in talking about what position he might want in a Trump Administration, calmly and matter-of-factly uttered these words;
“I want to be the general planner, looking out over the next eight years, and trying to design how we fundamentally reshape the federal government”
“and that’s a very broad job. The closest analogy probably would be Harry Hopkins and the work he did for Franklin Delano Roosevelt”.
And that was the moment I began to truly grasp how enormously fundamental this structural change will be.Continue Reading

On April 12, 2019, Hunter Biden took his damaged laptop to a computer repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware. It was the beginning of a series of fateful events that would culminate in The New York Times finally admitting on March 17, 2022, that Biden’s laptop and its contents were real.
Previous reporting by the New York Post detailed emails that were found on Hunter Biden’s laptop that showed that then-presidential candidate Joe Biden, his brother James, and son Hunter Biden were all deeply entangled in various overseas business ventures, in countries including Qatar, Ukraine, Russia, and China.
The emails also showed that Hunter Biden was directed by the head of a Ukrainian energy company’s board to find a way to stop the investigation into the company. While the authenticity of his laptop had been confirmed earlier, it unfortunately took verification by The New York Times to allow the story to enter the mainstream.Continue Reading
Michael Cohen denies prague article, says “Mueller Knows Everything”
The narrative that President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, had visited Prague has proven to be spectacularly enduring.
Despite numerous previous failed attempts by media to prove that Cohen was in Prague, McClatchy reporters Peter Stone and Greg Gordon published a story on Dec. 27th saying that a cell phone signal placed Cohen outside of Prague in “late summer 2016.”Continue Reading
Democrats, in a collective attempt at self-immolation, have decided to pursue the National Anthem Protest narrative through a prism of Racism and White Supremacy.
This is mind-numbingly dumb.
Liberals and Progressives are showing the entire nation – in simple, concrete terms – how culturally disconnected the Democratic Party has become from the rest of the country.
And they’re doing it as often as 16 times a week.Continue Reading
On July 5, 2018, Devin Nunes sent a third Referral Letter to Chairman Gowdy and Chairman Goodlatte (earlier referrals discussed here). A brief description of each individual is provided.
Nunes has now referred forty-two individuals to the joint task force of Committees on Oversight & Government Reform and the Judiciary for open-setting interviews. Most names should be recognizable to those following events.Continue Reading
Gen. Michael Flynn, a former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, was interviewed on Jan. 24, 2017, by FBI agents Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka about two December 2016 conversations that Flynn had with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak.
Details of the phone conversation had leaked to the media. Flynn ultimately pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the FBI regarding his conversations with Kislyak. It remains unknown to this day who leaked Flynn’s classified call—a far more serious felony violation.
The Washington Post reported in January 2017 that the FBI had found no evidence of wrongdoing in Flynn’s actual call with the Russian ambassador. The call, and the matters discussed in it, broke no laws. Why Flynn would lie to the FBI agents about a perfectly legal call isn’t immediately clear.Continue Reading

In October 2016, Wikileaks released a little-noticed email exchange involving Jennifer Palmieri, the communications director for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, and Democratic strategist Joel Johnson. The exchange, which was dated Feb. 26, 2016, revealed the existence of a Clinton campaign “swift boat project”—a political term used for smear campaigns—aimed at then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.
At the time, the email was largely ignored, but it has recently gained new relevance through disclosures in court filings by special counsel John Durham.
It appears the Clinton campaign’s plans revolved around two primary prongs directed at Trump. The first and better-known element of that project involved Fusion GPS and Trump-dossier author and former MI6 spy Christopher Steele. The other element involves the efforts of Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann and his use of data exploited by technology executive Rodney Joffe and a team of IT operatives.Continue Reading
