Obamagate

What" Really? This Obamagate is a hoax. BHO, the greatest President we've ever had. Gosh darn it. Just examine the word itself. You can see this concept is pure Trumpian propaganda.

Look: I'll show you

ObaMAGAte

See. Just like I told you. Nothing to this. The MSM would never lie. No, not Rachel Madcow. Not Chris Hayes. Not Joe the Schmoe and Mika Mouse. No. Never. I believe in the Gospel as preached by CNN. Don Le-moan. He da man.

Well, fellow swampers (and those who think they can stay dry), I proudly present to you a pictorial essay.

Tweet, tweet:

Just self serving political mudslinging--and I like mud.

Brief history lesson, part 1

Part 2

When Barry met Sally---and Sue, and JoJo, and the Weasel (Cardinal Comey that is) in the WH on Jan. 5, 2017 to talk about stuff. Stuff like getting Flynn on a pike or at least fired. Stuff like exposing the grand Russian Plot to Overthrow Amerika.

Fee, fie, fo, FISA.
Hi ho, hi ho,
It's off to spy we go

Yes, by all means, be discreet.

Quack, quack says van Grack (you may call him Brandon).

Don't fret, Madam (S. Powell)
We'll call Adam (Shifty)
He's got the proof
But the proof went poof!

Let's play 53 pickup (depositions)
One little hiccup
No one had evidence
Thus ending the pretence

So, here, fellow swampers is the new turn. Get ready. You won't like the next picture.

Too bad, I can't follow this without getting severely damaging depressions. So, who are the good guys and girls and who are the bad ones? Who is winning and who is losing? My mama is asking from up in the sky, why do I read stuff, I can't understand? That will make me sick.
She got it right. My guts got cramps and are in rebellion.

And what does Bojo really mean?

How do them bad guys threaten the good guys and girls to break them down? It's not good for my health and guts to know about it, but my heart wants to know my brains keeps knocking.

I do not frequent this site, but found this article after Glenn Greenwald recommended it on Twitter.

While many of us knew pieces of this story, especially Susan Rice's CYA memo to herself after this meeting, it appears that new information obtained from the Justice Dept. paints a much clearer picture of the depth of Obama's involvement in the Russiagate hoax and the attempt to get General Flynn to perjure himself to an FBI agent.

The article is long, but the first two sentences of the final paragraph summarize my own thoughts about this debacle. You do not have to like or approve of Trump to be disgusted at what the Obama administration tried to do to Trump's incoming administration.

This stunning operation was not just a typical battle between political foes, nor merely an example of media bias against political enemies. Instead, this entire operation was a deliberate and direct attack on the foundation of American governance.

Thanks for posting.

It looks like during the Obama administration the DOJ and intelligence agencies were weaponized against perceived enemies...

The case of Sharyl Atkisson gives some idea how they were operating. Usual suspect defendants in her suit over spying and harassment include Rod Rosenstein (de facto in charge of the DOJ during the Mueller investigation) and the president of Crowd Strike (source of "Russians Hacked the DNC Server!" hysteria) - this all dating back to 2012, if not earlier.

with the Flynn takedown - pretty decisively. But they can't be at all happy at the prospect of having their nefarious works see the light of day.

Allow me (ahem) to refer to the first paragraph of my first C99 essay:

It seems, according, to Devin Nunes - who was on the Trump transition team - that Flynn was determined that there be significant downsizing and improved coordination and accountability of intelligence agencies. That seems to have set off the Deep State alarm bells - and put a target on Flynn's back.

Sidney Powell, herself a former federal prosecutor literally wrote the book on prosecutorial corruption and abuse in the DOJ says she's never seen anything this bad. She's been kicking ass and taking names - Flynn (and we) are lucky she's representing him.

from Washington Examiner

A lawyer for retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said her client was prepared to "audit" the U.S. intelligence community as White House national security adviser.

And that, according to former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell, is partly why federal agents "set up" Flynn.

Flynn, 61, is fighting to dismiss the government's case against him. He pleaded guilty in December 2017 for lying to investigators about his conversations with Russian diplomat Sergey Kislyak on sanctions on Russia and a United Nations resolution on Israel, but in January, he told the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., that he was "innocent of this crime."

Powell, who took over Flynn's defense last summer, told the Vicki McKenna Show on 1310 WIBA Madison on Tuesday that her client was "totally set up" because he threatened to expose wrongdoing by top intelligence officials in the Obama administration.

"He was going to audit the intel agencies because he knew about the billions Brennan and company were running off books," Powell said, referring to former CIA Director John Brennan.

Powell offered no evidence during the interview to support the claim, but her comments echo the findings of investigative journalist Lee Smith, the author of The Plot Against the President.

During a November interview on Maria Bartiromo's Insiders on Fox Nation along with Powell, Smith said Flynn was scrutinizing possible misconduct by the U.S. intelligence community.

"In addition to Gen. Flynn's name being cleared, I hope that his initiative to get to the bottom of what these people were doing — to audit the intelligence community ... that's something else we need to look at again," Smith said. "As well, his initiative to clean out the deep state."

As for justice actually being done... Even though I'm not as old as the Gator-in-Chief, I have been up the creek, over the mountain and around the block enough times to not be wildly optimistic. But I have to rate the prospects higher under Trump than under any prospective Dem administration. Where they fall to pretty much zero.

Someone please correct me if I've got that all wrong.

@on the cusp

Flynn is the one senior U.S. intelligence officer with the guts to blow the whistle on a series of catastrophic intelligence and operational failures. The available facts point to the conclusion that elements of the humiliated (and perhaps soon-to-be-unemployed) intelligence community is trying to exact vengeance against a principled and patriotic officer. When the Turkish smear against Flynn came out in November, I smelled a rat. The present affair stinks like a dumpster full of dead rats.

was the most important part of the Russiagate effort to mislead the American people. Flynn had publicly exposed the treasonous nature of our policy of supporting Saudi Arabia and Turkey while they suppprted ISIS and Al Qaeda in Syria as well as in Libya and Iraq. He is every bit a Whistleblower as Manning and Snowden.

So I believe Flynn would have moved to clean up our foreign policy as well as our so-called intelligence community. He was the target, not Trump. I think they felt they could handle Trump, whose only real threat to them was in his willingness to listen to people like Flynn.

On top of all the evidence of illegal surveillance of the Trump campaign, the release of testimony that there was no evidence of hacking of the DNC emails puts the CIA/FBI/MAINSTREAM MEDIA conspiracy to mislead the American people in clearer light for those who are now paying attention.

Gen. Michael Flynn, Benghazi, and Why Obama Must Be Removed

August 16—In an interview aired on July 31 with Al-Jazeera’s program, Head to Head, Lt. General Michael Flynn, the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), made an unprecedented, blunt accusation that the rise of the Islamic State (ISIS) was the result of a “willful decision,”- not an intelligence failure - by the Obama Administration.

The Flynn revelations put even more pressure on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to “come clean” on what she personally knows about President Barack Obama’s “willful” lying cover-up of the al-Qa-eda attack in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, in which U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other American officials were killed. The issue on the table, now, with the Flynn revelations on top of the ongoing Benghazi probe by a Congressional select committee is: When will President Obama be held accountable for his lying to the American people? When will he be forced out of office?

Speaking to Mehdi Hasan, the host of “Head to Head,” Flynn went further than any other recently re-tired U.S. military official in condemning the policies of President Barack Obama. Flynn did so, not only in highlighting the August 2012 DIA report (only released to the public in May 2015) that warned the Obama Ad-ministration about the rise of the “Islamic State,” and the creation of a “caliphate” by Syria-based Islamists and al-Qaeda,—but also in identifying that arms ship-ments in Libya that had gone to jihadist “allies” of the United States and NATO in the overthrowing of Col. Muammar Qaddafi, were shipped to Syria and became the arsenal that allowed the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and other jihadist rebels to grow.

The Three Furies encouraged Obama to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people in 7 nations around the world. The carnage he and the Three Furies set upon the world in the name of R2P is still wreaking it's carnage to this very day. These people not only helped to create 'the swamp' in Washington, they are part and parcel of it.

In that photo they are deceptively engineering a case at the UN for authorization to use NATO to bomb the crap out of Libya to "save the women and children".

I come from an era where it was said "If wom(b)en were in charge in the world there would be no more war." Thatcher and Albright put the lie to that canard decades ago.

Fantastic. Just like Peter Strzok. The re-igniter of the incompetently still active investigation into Flynn due to dismissed business about FARA violations and some other worthless clap-trap. There was nothing productive about the Flynn foreign agentry charge alongside than that. Possibly some other relatively minor business might have been going on.

@Alligator Ed

I think Comey and his colleagues did a good job of creating the illusion that Flynn was a witless wonder, a rogue general with an axe to grind over Middle East policy, and who was easily rattled into mis-remembering his conversation with Kislyak.

But I think that illusion is going to fall apart. Flynn is a long term insider with the military element of the Deep State. He was at Abu Ghraib and Camp Bucca in Iraq. He knows we brought the ISIS leadership together. He has spoken about it publicly. He knows how much death was involved in that policy and how much death has resulted from it. He knows he's part of the problem. He knows what he's up against in opposing the Deep State and how much violence they are capable of.

Therefore, I think he would have known exactly who the FBI agents were when they interviewed him and why they were there. I also think he would have considered them a threat to national security, and as National Security Advisor to the President he probably felt they had no reason to ask him about his conversation with Kislyak other than to subvert or harass him, especially considering they had a recording of it. And if he misled them by leaving out information, there may have been an excellent reason to do so.

@Linda Wood
he lawyer up?

He went into the interview bare-assed to face a group of people who could and would indict a ham sandwich if they so wished. It cost him his home and financial future to try and dig out from the shit they piled on him.

And if he misled them by leaving out information, there may have been an excellent reason to do so.

I don't think he intentionally misled them. There was no incriminating evidence to be found in his conversation with Kislyak. The conversation was so mundane and innocuous that he probably forgot much of it. The fact that Flynn was eventually charged under the Logan Act tells us Obama's FBI attack dogs had nothing. On Dec 23 and 29, when he talked to Kislyak, Flynn was just a civilian - he was yet to hold the position as National Security Advisor which would have made these very same conversations with a foreign government official perfectly legal. There was no quid pro quo in the conversations.

I think Flynn was blind sided. He knew the US government had some real bad actors involved in foreign affairs but I think he was naive in not understanding that the FBI and DOJ had been completely corrupted under Obama's tenure - especially during Hillary Clinton's stint as SOS.

The more I look at this shit in retrospect, the more I think Hillary has played a larger role in running the Russiagate psyop than even Obama. She had the full support of people within the FBI and DOJ. The Clinton machine was in charge in Washington, including the Presidency. Obama never had that amount of power and control.

Sadly, his lawyers represented the Deep State. It's his new lawyer who sorted this out. No, I agree, he wound up in the six-ways-from-Sunday machine and got squeezed. But that interview was no threat to him. It's Trump's firing him that destroyed his ability to stand up to the onslaught, especially the media deluge.

He got snookered because he was honest.

I know that he got shafted after being charged and ended up pleading guilty to stop the nightmare he and his family were being subjected to.

The only reason Trump fired Flynn was for damage control for himself personally. Obama had already poisoned the well against Flynn for reasons stated in my link.

It's Trump's firing him that destroyed his ability to stand up to the onslaught, especially the media deluge.

The media deluge was planned to utterly destroy Flynn for reasons that go way beyond Trump. Even the CIA was out to get him. The FBI and the CIA were both determined to make Flynn an albatross to hang around Trump's neck. Trump had no choice but to cut him free.

For another perspective on the Flynn affair:

The CIA Really Is Out to Get General Flynn
By David P. Goldman Feb 13, 2017
...
On Dec. 2, I wrote in Asia Times that Commentary’s Rothman probably was stooging for a CIA disinformation campaign against Flynn. Not only did Flynn propose to deep-six Gulen, a longstanding friend of the CIA, but he had blown the whistle on CIA incompetence in Syria. Flynn’s Defense Intelligence Agency produced a now-notorious 2012 report warning that chaos in Syria’s civil war enabled the rise of a new Caliphate movement, namely ISIS. For full background, see Brad Hoff’s July 2016 essay in Foreign Policy Journal: Flynn humiliated the bungling CIA and exposed the incompetence and deception of the Obama administration, and got fired for it. If anyone doubts the depth of CIA incompetence in Syria, I recommend an account that appeared this month in the London Financial Times.

@CB

this is a great article, and I truly thank you for posting it. Still, I disagree with the writer about the arming of ISIS and Al Qaeda being operational failures. What Flynn is known for is speaking truth to power. He opposes bad policy. Speculating about whether bad policy is purposeful or dumb is beside the point. I personally think the CIA Military Industrial Deep State knows exactly what it is doing.

But whether or not Flynn should have lawyered up before receiving a couple of Deep State punk agents is, I think, missing the fact that he had not violated a law and that he had been in and among and part of the Obama administration for years and knew what the visit was for.

He didn't lie to them. He didn't reveal classified information to them. Their own notes say that. I agree that the guilty plea had to do with the fact that they were now bringing this persecution down onto his family and that he was broke, essentially. But even if Sydney Powell had been in the room with him during the FBI visit, it wouldn't have made any difference. He didn't lie to them.

in Syria. One, the CIA and the other, the US military, both working independently. If the end result was to be complete chaos in Syria then yes, the

CIA Military Industrial Deep State

was not a failure.

But chaos was not the end purpose. The chaos originally fostered by the CIA was to be used to destabilize the country to such an extent it could be partitioned in the future. This chaos was successful but when it came time to balkanize Syria into separate entities in July, 2015 was when the plan went completely sideways. The weapons and more rational trained fighters supplied by the US Army to accomplish the partition soon got taken by the more radical jihadis who had been covertly armed and supported by the CIA. The US was now in the position of having their two supported groups fighting amongst themselves instead of against Assad.

Russia entered Syria in September, 2015 after realizing the country was on the verge of being balkanized to such an extent that it would not survive as a nation unless they came to the full miltary aid of Assad. After Russia entered theater, the US CIA/Military interventions in the country became increasingly incoherent and ineffective, due in large part to Russia's counterinsurgency efforts. Don't forget that Russia had a history of successful military operations in dealing with these very same Islamic jihadis in Chechnya 15 years prior.

The US had so many fingers in this pie from so many hands they didn't have a clue what was going on. Obama should have made a decision as to who was in charge. He never did have decisive clue went it came to military policy decisions. He always left that up to others in his circle.

The US has now reverted to creating chaos in Syria in an effort to bog Russia down.


U.S. Syria Representative Says His Job Is to Make the War a 'Quagmire' for Russia

The U.S. special representative for Syria has urged continued American deployment to the war torn country in order to keep pressure on U.S. enemies and make the conflict a "quagmire" for Russia.

Special Representative James Jeffrey said Tuesday during a Hudson Institute video call that President Donald Trump's "maximum pressure" approach towards Syria was paying dividends, and rejected concerns that the American deployment there could turn into a drawn out and costly project akin to Afghanistan or Vietnam.

"We are pursuing what we think is a smart policy," Jeffrey said of the U.S. approach to Syria, where at least 500 American soldiers are still deployed alongside allied local forces and to support operations against remaining Islamic State militants.
...

Maybe someone should tell James Jeffrey that today's Russia is not the USSR of the 1970's.

Though Russia has been militarily successful in its support of Assad, Moscow has struggled to push the dictator towards a peace settlement. Recent reports suggest the Kremlin is frustrated with Assad's refusal to work towards a political solution to the nine-year war.

Can one blame Assad for trying to protect his country? What if the CCP and the Ukes came over here to stir up confusion and disrupt government? Russia is in a way trapped in Syria because they know pulling out will let the "moderate rebels" back in with all their nasty friends.

We can thank the wunnerful Barry O'Hussein for the situation in which CIA proxies were fighting US forces. Word is that OP'Hussein's bombing missions were against Syrian loyalist targets, sparing the modrebs.

@CB and Alligator Ed, that our policy is bad, insane, and treasonous. I believe Michael Flynn is a threat to the Deep State not only because as National Security Advisor he would have acted to change that policy but also because he may have brought the perpetrators to justice.

Think about the cold bloodedness of saying we should keep the war going in order to create a quagmire for Russia. How many more babies would we burn to death? Meanwhile, Exxon is still in business with the Russian government, in spite of sanctions. Chevron is still in business in Venezuela, in spite of sanctions purposed to starve the Venezuelan people. How psychopathic is our so-called foreign policy? I think Flynn is heroic for opposing our policies in Iraq and Syria and that his outspoken public positions are why he is the principal target of the Deep State.
