    I know, you're trying to convince yourself. Thus the misinformation sites you seek out.

      So is this just about your pleasuring yourself then? What's the point if not to reach the ultimate truth about the world?

          • Very interesting...

            Within an interesting interview conducted by Jan Jekielek of Epoch Times, former AAG Matt Whitaker confirms what CTH long suspected. The Mueller investigation was used by corrupt interests within the special counsel’s office to threaten any/all executive branch and congressional officials with “obstruction of justice” charges if they revealed any exculpatory or counter-narrative information during the Mueller probe.

            Whitaker describes this as the “obstruction of justice trap.”

            Essentially, this approach confirms the second-prong purpose of the Mueller investigation itself. First, use the special counsel in 2017, 2018 and into the beginning of 2019, as a shield (hide information); and secondly a weapon (threats) against any entity who would reveal the background intelligence that undercut the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

            We know President Trump was threatened by Rod Rosenstein not to declassify any information in September of 2018 or the Mueller investigation would use that act as evidence of obstruction. Whitaker confirms that same approach was applied toward any executive branch officer who would reveal or release information to congress during the tenure of the special counsel; even within the DOJ and including the attorney general.

            This is how the Mueller probe was weaponized to mislead the American people.

            [...]

            With that in mind this is a very serious flaw in the authority of the special counsel statute that needs to be addressed by congress. Who can watch the watchers, when the watchers were specifically selected because they would knowingly contribute to the corruption.

                You'll have to splain to me what he said wrong.
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                • So the call "transcripts" are being released. Awaiting conservative outhouse's take. In the meantime you can read for yourself that *Flynn* is the one who raised sanctions, not Circle K. Seems pretty implausible that he wouldn't remember that just a few weeks later but what do I know, I'm not a three star general.

                    Okay, and how does that change the fact that the original agents did not think the General had lied, and that the FBI was on the verge of closing the case until bad actors entered the picture to frame an innocent man?

                      I believe JimL is being clever here; if I'd said "then" in place of "than", my response could be spun to imply that MM doesn't bother reading before he comments.

                        Don't you owe me a pointer to the exculpatory evidence contained in the 302s?

                        And I reject the premise of your dishonest question.

                        Keep refreshing conservative outhouse... I'm sure they'll come up with something for you to paste in here eventually.

                          • Flynn, Kislyak transcripts of conversations during Trump transition released

                            • Okay, so having taken a look at the full transcript, this whole thing is less than a nothing burger. Flynn mentioned sanctions once or twice and only very briefly in a dozen phone calls that took place over a three-week period. That's 20-pages worth of transcript, and maybe a hundred words total were about the sanctions. Now consider all the other hundreds of people he spoke with and the countless hours of conversations he had over that same period of time, and it's completely plausible that he wouldn't remember discussing a minor matter that he only briefly mentioned.

                              And, no, Flynn asking Russia to keep a reciprocal response to Obama's sanctions is not traitorous, it's diplomatic. We weren't at war with Russia, and they are not our enemy, so all the liberals whooping and hollering about how Flynn is a traitor are idiots.

                                1) So we now have hard proof that he spoke about sanctions (and *he* raised the issue!)
                                2) We agree when he denied having done so he was saying something that wasn't true to the FBI
                                3) He admitted under oath that when he denied it he was lying
                                4) We don't know what was said in the communications which remain redacted
                                5) The idea that he wouldn't remember a conversation like this about a subject *he raised* is just so ludicrous

                                But I'll give you credit for doing original research for a change :)
