thegatewaypundit--2020-05-22--Larry C. Johnson: Hack WashPost Reporter Carries FBI Dirty Water in Lame Attack on Michael Flynn

Nothing to see her .
Move along .
This was just routine sedition .
Nakashima is lying by insisting that what was done to Michael Flynn was normal and routine .
She is pushing the fantasy that the only way the FBI learned about Flynn ’ s conversation with the Russian Ambassador was because the FBI was routinely monitoring Kislyak ’ s conversations and just happened to capture Trump ’ s incoming National Security Advisor .
The president ’ s allies are casting the unmasking requests as evidence of a malign effort to damage Trump through leaks to the media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of an effort by the president and his allies to tar former president Barack Obama with what Trump says was an unfounded criminal investigation into potential conspiracy between Russia and Trump associates — or what he now calls “ Obamagate.
” Obama is expected to be one of the most effective advocates for his former vice president , Joe Biden , in his bid to unseat Trump this fall .
Unmasking is a routine practice used to identify U.S. individuals who are referred to anonymously in an intelligence document , and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ understand what they are reading .
But conservatives have long seized on Flynn ’ s unmasking to imply that he was treated unfairly by U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials .

But in the FBI report about the communications between the two men , Flynn ’ s name was never redacted , former U.S. officials said .

A Republican effort to determine who may have leaked the name of Michael Flynn in connection to his 2016 contact with the Russian ambassador has centered on the question of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be “ unmasked ” in intelligence documents .
Nakashima is a longstanding go-to-tool for the CIA and FBI coup plotters eager to sow propaganda and disinformation among the American people .
It was her June 14 , 2016 article that pushed the contrived fantasy that Russia hacked the DNC .
Now that we have the testimony of Shawn Henry , President of Crowdstrike , on the record and under oath before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence , we know that his company never found any evidence that the DNC emails were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in a desperate attempt to try to mitigate the damage from the revelation that 39 different members of the Obama Administration unmasked Michael Flynn ’ s name in at least 15 separate NSA intelligence reports , turned to Washington Post stenographer , Ellen Nakashima , to insist that Michael Flynn was really not unmasked .
Nakashima ’ s FBI sources want you to believe that they had a Gomer Pyle moment–Shazam Sgt .
Carter , Michael Flynn is talking to a Roosky .
Nakashima does not mention the following indisputable facts : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case on General Flynn with no just cause in August 2016 and relentlessly searched FBI , CIA and NSA files for evidence that Flynn was a traitor beholden to Russia .
• The FBI agent leading the effort concluded that there was no evidence to support continuing a counter intelligence case against Flynn and wrote the memo to close the case .
The memo is dated January 4 , 2017 .
• Jim Comey and Andy McCabe were looking for a pretext to keep the case against Flynn open and seized on his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kislyak .
Nakashima ’ s FBI sources are not reliable and I do not believe they are telling the truth .
They are trying to create an alternative explanation for inexcusable conduct by the FBI .
This new Nakashima account still has some big holes .
For starters , why was the FBI agent in charge of investigating Michael Flynn cut out of this loop ?
If the FBI agent investigating Michael Flynn as Crossfire Razor was privy to the Flynn call with Ambassador Kislyak , why would he then submit a draft @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he was witting of the call and realized that nothing justifying a counter-intelligence investigation transpired during the call .
According to Robert Mueller ’ s prosecutors , Flynn said the following ( see Statement of Offense ) : If the Mueller team is reporting accurately what Flynn said to the Russian , then we are left wondering what the hell was the beef ?
Asking the Russians to not escalate a situation is in America ’ s national security interest .
The other thing most folks are ignoring is that it appears the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Dominican Republic , and the Trump Transition team in Mar-a-Lago , Florida .
It certainly appears that someone was listening in on this phone call .
Here is the account in the Statement of Offense : FLYNN called a senior official of the Presidential Transition Team ( “ PTT official ” ) , who was with other senior ·members of the Presidential Transition Team at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach , Florida , to discuss what , if anything , to communicate to the Russian Ambassador about the U.S. Sanctions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the PTT official discussed the U.S. Sanctions , including the potential impact of those sanctions on the incoming administration ’ s foreign policy goals .

The president’s allies are casting the unmasking requests as evidence of a malign effort to damage Trump through leaks to the media.
The unmasking issue appears to be part of an effort by the president and his allies to tar former president Barack Obama with what Trump says was an unfounded criminal investigation into potential conspiracy between Russia and Trump associates — or what he now calls “Obamagate.” Obama is expected to be one of the most effective advocates for his former vice president, Joe Biden, in his bid to unseat Trump this fall.
Unmasking is a routine practice used to identify U.S. individuals who are referred to anonymously in an intelligence document, and it is meant to help government officials better understand what they are reading. But conservatives have long seized on Flynn’s unmasking to imply that he was treated unfairly by U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials. . . .

For starters, why was the FBI agent in charge of investigating Michael Flynn cut out of this loop? If the FBI agent investigating Michael Flynn as Crossfire Razor was privy to the Flynn call with Ambassador Kislyak, why would he then submit a draft memo to drop the case?
Perhaps he was witting of the call and realized that nothing justifying a counter-intelligence investigation transpired during the call. According to Robert Mueller’s prosecutors, Flynn said the following (see Statement of Offense):
FLYNN called the Russian Ambassador and requested that Russia not escalate the situation and only respond to the U.S. Sanctions in a reciprocal manner.
If the Mueller team is reporting accurately what Flynn said to the Russian, then we are left wondering what the hell was the beef? Asking the Russians to not escalate a situation is in America’s national security interest.
The other thing most folks are ignoring is that it appears the conversation between Michael Flynn, who was in the Dominican Republic, and the Trump Transition team in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

The specificity in the Statement of Offense about Flynn’s conversation with the President’s Transition Team indicates that a transcript exists. Who recorded that conversation? Under what authority was that conversation recorded.
None of this is being done “BY THE BOOK.” There is no evidence yet that a FISA was in place to permit spying on Michael Flynn. There is no indication in the FBI agent’s memo to close the case to indicate that Flynn had been monitored or had said incriminating things to Russians. Just the opposite–no evidence to justify continuing the investigation of General Flynn.
This was nothing more than a planned hit job. So far the CIA and DNI are being ignored as players in this tawdry episode. But I think Senator Graham understands something is fishy:
he [Graham] sent a letter to acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell asking why a declassified list of Obama administration officials who had made requests that revealed Flynn’s name in intelligence documents “did not contain a record showing who unmasked” Flynn’s identity in relation to “his phone call with” the Russian diplomat, Sergey Kislyak.
Nakashima’s pathetic piece is a great illustration of the delusion and perfidy of those who tried to destroy Donald Trump and his administration. Legitimate actions by acting DNI Grenell or Attorney General Barr are greeted with howls of outrage and indignation. But Nakashima and her crowd are like cockroaches. They run from the light.

Boy, this is telling.
Daily Beast Editor-in-Chief Noah Schachtman tweeted out his latest interview with lying Democrat Eric Swalwell saying the failed presidential candidate no longer trusts the ODNI and FBI to deliver the truth about the Russia Collusion scam.
Swalwell made the comments after recent documents confirm the Russia collusion investigation was a complete hoax and excuse by the Obama administration to spy on the opposition party during the 2016 election.
Swalwell and The Daily Beast are obviously still shamelessly pushing the debunked Russia conspiracy.
Of course, this is more proof that you can NEVER trust the liberal media or lying Democrat politicians.
In response to Schacktman’s tweet Eric Swalwell took a swipe at outgoing DNI Richard Grenell and acting DNI John Ratcliffe.

thegatewaypundit--2020-05-22--BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Evidence Indicates that the Entire Plot to Prevent President Trump from Winning

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Evidence Indicates that the Entire Plot to Prevent President Trump from Winning the 2016 Election and Then Governing If He Won Started in … ITALY!

As information continues to surface on Obamagate , the puzzle pieces are beginning to fall into place .
And many of the most significant pieces are turning up overseas in , of all places , Italy .
After the release a week ago of transcripts from individual testimonies in front of the US House of Representatives , George Papadopoulos released the following tweet about Obamagate in Italy : Obama and the former leader of Italy , Matteo Renzi , held meetings in Italy before the 2016 election and in early 2017 .
TRENDING : EPIC !
Kayleigh McEnany Blows Up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Flynn Unmasking - Then Exits Briefing Room Like a Boss ( VIDEO ) Papadopoulos also tweeted his thoughts that Italy was more involved in Obamagate than previously reported : Italian nuclear engineer and suspected Deep State target Giulio Occhionero pointed out the Italian connection in the release of those who unmasked General Michael Flynn in the weeks after the 2016 election .
This list was also released a few weeks ago .
The list included Obama ’ s Ambassador to Italy , John R. Phillips and the Deputy Chief of Mission in Italy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a crime he claimed he didn ’ t commit where he says he was set up by the Deep State .
Upon his arrest , the Italians who arrested him asked , “ Who is your contact with the Trump team ?
” The Italian press is appalled with reports that young Papadopoulos ’ s wife , an Italian born model , was asked by the FBI to spy on her husband : But perhaps the most damaging document , proving ties to Italy , is the recently released Crossfire Hurricane launch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it all .
The alleged , and now known to be a hoax about ties between President Trump and Russia , which culminated in the Mueller Special Counsel , started with this document .
Many in Italy believe this document proves Obamagate started in Europe , and more specifically in Italy .
Occhionero believes that the launch letter begins in Italy .
Much of the document is still redacted [ again no doubt only to cover for the criminals ] so we really don ’ t know , yet , who the document @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the document is referring to Italy , we have strong belief that it refers to LEGAT or Legal Attache Kieran Ramsey .
Occhionero has claimed that Ramsey would not testify at his trial and believes this is because he is hiding something .
We reported on Ramsey previously and noted that he is being requested to be interviewed by the Senate .
The Crossfire Hurricane launch letter begins with this : If the incident occurred in Italy , the LEGAT was Ramsey .
Barbara on Twitter points out that the Holy See ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Italy ) had a change in the Chief of Mission in July 2016 : Ken Hackett was the prior US Ambassador to the Holy See and he retired in early 2017 : No wonder the Senate wants to interview Kieran Ramsey .
No wonder US Attorney John Durham traveled with AG Barr to Italy .
Italy , it appears , was the epicenter for Crossfire Hurricane !

As information continues to surface on Obamagate, the puzzle pieces are beginning to fall into place. And many of the most significant pieces are turning up overseas in, of all places, Italy.
After the release a week ago of transcripts from individual testimonies in front of the US House of Representatives, George Papadopoulos released the following tweet about Obamagate in Italy:
We now know that Italy was involved in spying on me in Rome with Mifsud and Flynn case. Durham’s probe became criminal after learning about this from Italian officials. Key question is, why did Obama have the Italian PM visit him in October 2016 right when the spying ramped up? — George Papadopoulos (@GeorgePapa19) May 14, 2020
Obama and the former leader of Italy, Matteo Renzi, held meetings in Italy before the 2016 election and in early 2017.
Why Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is Dining With Obama Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi joined Barack Obama for the last formal dinner of his presidency. Why?
Barack Obama Arrives in Milan for Climate Speech, Meeting with Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi Former President Barack Obama touched down in Milan, Italy, on Monday, kicking off a two-day trip in which he will meet with former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and also discuss climate change at a conference.
Papadopoulos also tweeted his thoughts that Italy was more involved in Obamagate than previously reported:
I have explained since the beginning that Italian intelligence was involved in targeting the campaign from my meetings in Rome/London to the now evidence that the US ambassador to Italy was involved in unmasking Flynn. Get ready for a ride with the evidence coming out on the CIA! — George Papadopoulos (@GeorgePapa19) May 13, 2020
Italian nuclear engineer and suspected Deep State target Giulio Occhionero pointed out the Italian connection in the release of those who unmasked General Michael Flynn in the weeks after the 2016 election. This list was also released a few weeks ago. The list included Obama’s Ambassador to Italy, John R. Phillips and the Deputy Chief of Mission in Italy, Kelly Degnan.

Occhionero was arrested for a crime he claimed he didn’t commit where he says he was set up by the Deep State.
Upon his arrest, the Italians who arrested him asked, “Who is your contact with the Trump team?”
yes … I am the Italian who received this question !!! it was January 9th 2017, I never thought while I was being unfairly charged that someone between the US and ITALY wanted to sabotage @realDonaldTrump #SPYGATE #OBAMAGATE #EYEPYRAMID@MariaBartiromo @joehoft @gatewaypundit https://t.co/1mJ5ZqLTT0 pic.twitter.com/KLbEwa5lXA — Maurizio Mazzella 🇮🇹🇺🇸🇮🇱 (@MazzellMaurizio) May 21, 2020
The Italian press is appalled with reports that young Papadopoulos’s wife, an Italian born model, was asked by the FBI to spy on her husband:
Why did FBI ask an Italian citizen to spy on an American in the USA, taking advantage of being his wife? If true, it is a very serious thing.

So did a Deputy Chief of Mission finish his/her assignment at the US Embassy in Rome on July 30, 2016, prior to Kelly Degnan's arrival? @JudicialWatch @TomFitton https://t.co/9hULNH3XxY pic.twitter.com/xYY3K2IXSz — Giulio Occhionero (@g_occhionero) May 21, 2020
The Crossfire Hurricane launch letter begins with this:
Details:
(S/ / REL TO USA [Redacted] On Wednesday, July 27, 2016, Legal Attaché (Legat) [Redacted] was summoned to the Office of the Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) for the [Redacted] who will be leaving [Redacted] post Saturday July 30, 2016 and set to soon thereafter retire from government service, advised [Redacted] was called by [Redacted] about an urgent matter requiring an in person meeting with the U.S. Ambassador.

China Pushes New Security Law for Hong Kong, Increasing Party’s Sway https://t.co/BJ8PehuFEv Back in 1997 Canada voiced support for the Sino-British accord on the grounds that it would safeguard Hong Kong's autonomy. We have real interests at stake here and must speak clearly — David Mulroney (@David_Mulroney) May 21, 2020
The South China Morning Post reports that Beijing is “out of patience” with Hong Kong while opposition leaders in Hong Kong announce that changes to the law in China will end the current agreement for “one country, two systems” – the phrase coined 23 years ago when Britain turned over Hong Kong to the Chinese.
Chinese loyalists in the Hong Kong government are tightening their grip in Hong Kong as well, with videos of Hong Kong lawmakers being carried out of the government chamber:

China also is bullying anyone who speaks out about its grotesque actions in sending the China coronavirus around the globe:
Chinese reprisals against reasonable Australian demands for an inquiry show that they intend to be a bullying master of countries that have become too dependent on them. Time to stop buying all Chinese goods.

Freedom in Hong Kong may soon be a limited commodity.

EXCLUSIVE: Fired FBI Director James Comey Left a Clue In His Testimony to the House Indicating Obama Gave Him Orders to Go After General Flynn

Fired and disgraced former Head of the FBI , James Comey , left a clue in his testimony before the House that indicates Obama gave him orders to go after General Michael Flynn .
Former President Barack Obama did not like General Flynn for numerous reasons .
Perhaps the biggest reason is that General Flynn had promised to uncover Obama ’ s corrupt actions in the making of the Iran deal .
General Flynn said that if Trump was elected , he would uncover side deals between Obama and Iran , and this scared the hell out of Obama .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ him .
Recent transcripts from fired Director Comey ’ s testimony in front of Congress indicate that Obama ‘ tasked ’ Comey and the FBI to go after General Flynn : TRENDING : EPIC !
Kayleigh McEnany Blows Up ObamaGate , Calls Out Media For Ignoring Flynn Unmasking - Then Exits Briefing Room Like a Boss ( VIDEO ) In the testimony from fired Director Comey , he states that we ( presumably the FBI or a broader group within Obama ’ s Intel community ) “ were all tasked to find out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s reaction to Obama ’ s outlandish actions against that country .
Obama had instituted very harsh actions against Russia , a month before President Trump was to be sworn into office : Comey obtained the call between General Flynn and the Russian diplomat and claims that he shared the transcripts of the call with Director Clapper .
But the key sentence is before this when Comey notes that “ we were all tasked ” .
Comey works for the AG who oversees the Justice Department .
Comey says “ we were all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be ordered or directed to do something .
Comey ’ s boss was the Attorney General .
At this time it was Loretta Lynch .
So either AG Loretta Lynch or her boss , President Obama , directed Comey and others to look into General Flynn .

If the DOJ did not know about the call , they most likely did not give the order to Comey to look into Russia and General Flynn .
This means that only President Obama could have “ tasked ” the FBI to look into the Russia spectacle at the time !

(Here is the thread from the thread reader)
In summary, General Flynn, his family, his attorneys and all of America, have reason to rejoice today as the actions of the DC court are the most extreme, rare and drastic measures they could have taken with Judge Sullivan in the Flynn case. Judge Sullivan is ordered to explain to the Circuit Court personally why he took the actions he took, and in 10 days, ahead of the Sullivan scheduled Gleeson amicus oral arguments of July 16.
The DC appellate judges involved are Henderson, Robert L. Wilkins and Rao.
—Henderson was first nominated by Reagan and voted against Nadler & the House being able to subpoena WH Counsel Don McGhan
—Rao was nominated by Trump to replace Kavanaugh & also voted against House overreach against Trump
—Wilkins was Obama appointee, Senate Rs filibuster failed https://t.co/LJNIlOkt0X — Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 21, 2020
Things are finally looking up for General Flynn.
But why would Obama go to such extremes to get General Flynn in the first place? There must be some really bad actions that need covering up.

UPDATE—
The Illinois Chamber of Commerce contacted The Gateway Pundit this morning. They stress the proposed legislation limits the governor’s powers. Thebill limits the powers to confiscate property by the governor. SB 3993 simply prohibits Illinois governors from extending their emergency powers beyond 30 days without the consent of the elected assembly.
The law DOES NOT add any powers to the governor to declare a state of emergency or add any additional powers during an emergency. Any powers listed in the bill are current law and have been law for a number of years. SB 3993 serves as a legislative check on the power of the Governor by prohibiting extensions of an Emergency Order without the approval of the Illinois General Assembly. This will hopefully help restore the system of checks and balances so necessary for the proper functioning and oversight of government.
