    ~ Obama fired Flynn for much the same reason. Flynn was concerned about China - the administration had a fixation on Russia instead. Maybe more details will be revealed ...

    Yah, he seems suuuuuuuuuuuuper not guilty. He's not nervous at aaaaaaaaaaaaaall.

    Why did we fire him? I'm not gonna tell you but it's not because I knew he was investigating me, I didnt even know he was, well he did send me a questionaire to fill out about the investigation, but that was soooooooooo long ago.

    hahaha.

    Flynn was illegally targeted and smeared by Obama and the FBI. He served honorably in military intelligence for 33 years before he became director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2012.

    Obama fired him in 2014 over Flynn’s opposition to the Iranian nuclear arms deal. Obama also took issue with Flynn’s overly aggressive attitude toward combating radical Islamic terrorism.

    What Obama and his FBI did to Flynn was criminal, and not the other way around.

    Just more of the Same BS that has been floating around (for years) among the Faux/Trump crowd.

    Obama did nothing that could even be remotely construed as "criminal".

    And even 100 pages of copypasta (from every extreme RW Blog in the world) can't change that FACT.

    The entire concept of "Obamagate" (as Trump perceives it) is a Complete Joke (and a Non-Event).

    ~ Yes I just did a read of your link. Interesting and sickening at the same time. Apparently Obama was indeed a secret sympathizer to Islamic terrorism . Obviously he is not the only one ...

    I don't know what he was, but he was clearly very dangerous to our civil liberties. These sonovabitches have forgotten who is boss is, WE ARE, and we lawfully and constitutionally need to effectively reassert control over OUR Republic.

    ~ I agree . Sadly your comment is an understatement. This mess is worse than we think . Let us hope the U.S. Constitution prevails. It's up to us.

    The woman literally whined her way out of a potential 1.5 to 2 trillion dollar infrastructure deal. She's an embarrassment to the women who aspire for leadership to make positive contributions to the US and to the world.

    So nothing to do with dozens of Madison dinners or McConnell's wife or a Saudi arms deal? Okay.

    Yes. All those decades of political grooming to be "sharp and diplomatic" and in less than a year, Trump pulled her mask off and showed who she really is.

    Pelosi exhibits the worst of feminine qualities: catty, bitter, petty, and petulant. She's 100% the opposite of a good role model for women in leadership.

    Well the Democrats are going after everyone and anyone in the Trump Admin or even simply associated with him. It is absolutely time to pull the plug on their crap.

    Why Has Barack Obama’s Unprecedented War with Inspectors General Been Forgotten?

    [​IMG]
    Democrats had no issue with Obama going on a firing spree against inspectors general early in his first term.
    The Light Bearer fired Gerald Walpin, inspector general of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), for investigating Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, an Obama ally who covered up sex abuse allegations made against him and attempted to pay his victims hush money with taxpayer dollars. But Walpin was only one of three inspectors general who were forced out of their positions in the first six months of the Obama administration, all within a few weeks of each other.

    Fred Weiderhold Jr., the inspector general of Amtrak, was forcibly retired, and Judith Gwynne, the acting IG of the International Trade Commission, was fired soon after.

    Inspector general, Neil M. Barofsky, the IG of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), was strong-armed by Obama’s Treasury Secretary "Tiny" Tim Geithner. Barofsky had just opened an investigation “into the Treasury’s decision to approve bonuses for executives at the insurance giant AIG, which received billions in bailout money from the TARP fund” when he started getting push-back from the Treasury Department.

    Ex-IG ‘Weaponized’ Whistleblower Law to Impeach Trump, CIA Agent-Turned-Whistleblower Says.

    Dems Love The Whistle Blowers, Right?

    When President Donald Trump fired Intelligence Community (IC) Inspector General (IG) No Good Deep State Scum, Michael Atkinson in April, No Good Deep State Scum, Atkinson claimed the president fired him for duly passing on the report of the Ukraine “whistleblower” to Congress — the report that led to Trump’s impeachment — and urged whistleblowers to speak out. According to Pedro Orta, a former CIA agent and whistleblower who faced multiple rounds of retaliation for attempting to expose abuse of power at a CIA base in 2015, Trump was right to fire No Good Deep State Scum, Atkinson and the former IC IG’s posturing on whistleblowers conflicts with his record of suppressing claims of retaliation.

    Orta called the source that led to Trump’s impeachment the “so-called Ukraine whistleblower” because he was not a whistleblower as defined by the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA) and because his report did not concern “intelligence activities,” so it did not fall under Atkinson’s authority.

    “What IG Atkinson basically did was to weaponize the ICWPA law and the authorities of the IC IG to willfully target President Trump with baseless charges to seek his removal,” Orta told PJ Media. “That alone was more than enough to fire IG Atkinson.”

    Yup!

    ~ It is becoming quite clear that the Obama administration was full of self-serving professional hacks with one agenda - keep and increase the power and influence of the Democrat Party. Trump was and still is enemy #1 because he is not selling out and continues to represent the people - all the people. Regardless of what happens legally to those who have abused their authority and trust, the voters are finally seeing the real shadow government that is destroying the USA.
    I hope it's not too late ...

    Let alone Lincoln was just the opposite about having political enemies serving for him.
