Lee Smith: Obamagate Began with Obama’s Iran Deal and His Domestic Spying Campaign on General Flynn Who Promised to Publicize Obama’s Secret Deals with Iran

Journalist and author Lee Smith uncovered the beginnings of Obamagate in an article at Tabletmag.com .
Lee Smith begins his article with the strange discussion former President Obama had with the incoming President-elect Trump : Barack Obama warned his successor against hiring Michael Flynn .
It was Nov. 10 , 2016 , just two days after Donald Trump upset Hillary Clinton to become the 45th president of the United States .
Trump told aide Hope Hicks that he was bewildered by the president ’ s warning .

The answer is that Obama saw Flynn as a threat to his legacy , which was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Iran—the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action ( JCPOA ) .
Flynn had said long before he signed on with the Trump campaign that it was a catastrophe to realign American interests with those of a terror state .

Journalist and author Lee Smith uncovered the beginnings of Obamagate in an article at Tabletmag.com.
Lee Smith begins his article with the strange discussion former President Obama had with the incoming President-elect Trump:
Barack Obama warned his successor against hiring Michael Flynn. It was Nov. 10, 2016, just two days after Donald Trump upset Hillary Clinton to become the 45th president of the United States. Trump told aide Hope Hicks that he was bewildered by the president’s warning. Of all the important things Obama could have discussed with him, the outgoing commander in chief wanted to talk about Michael Flynn.
Obviously, Barack Obama revealed his great hatred for General Flynn to President Trump during their first private meeting.
Why was General Flynn Obama’s number one target? Why was his name unmasked by multiples of individuals after the 2016 and before President Trump’s inauguration?
The answer is that Obama saw Flynn as a threat to his legacy, which was rooted in his July 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran—the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Flynn had said long before he signed on with the Trump campaign that it was a catastrophe to realign American interests with those of a terror state. And now that the candidate he’d advised was the new president-elect, Flynn was in a position to help undo the deal. To stop Flynn, the outgoing White House ran the same offense it used to sell the Iran deal—they smeared Flynn through the press as an agent of a foreign power, spied on him, and leaked classified intercepts of his conversations to reliable echo chamber allies.
Obama took over the Russia collusion conspiracy after the election in an effort to stop General Flynn and the incoming President.
Smith writes:
In fact, as Trump prepared to take office after his 2016 upset victory, the Obama White House was focused on the Middle East. “Russia collusion” was the narrative that Hillary Clinton operatives seeded in the media and fed to the FBI to obtain a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. After the election, the Obama team took it over and used it to hobble the incoming administration.
That Obama has publicly criticized the Justice Department’s decision to withdraw its case against the retired general shows how personal the anti-Flynn campaign still is for the former president. In leaking his supposedly off-hand comments to Michael Isikoff, a journalist whose work was central in pushing the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory, Obama was effectively taking credit for pushing the larger anti-Trump operation that grew out of the anti-Flynn campaign. While the Russia collusion story was a handy instrument for many to advance all manner of personal and political interests, for Obama the purpose of Russiagate was simple and direct: to protect the Iran deal, and secure his legacy. Smith goes on to tell the story behind Obama’s efforts to put together the Iran deal. This agreement that most Americans never liked and the final straw that led Donald Trump to run for President [per his son Eric], was being worked on by Obama for years. One impediment to the deal was an effort by Flynn to look into the materials captured at the Bin Laden compound in Obama’s first term. There were reportedly links between Bin Laden and Iran and Obama didn’t want anyone to find these links. Flynn was after the links, if any, when Obama shut down his attempts to review the Bin Laden materials.
Obama was insane. He wanted to help Iran balance the Middle East power structure with the Sunni states like Saudi Arabia [which leads you to question Obama’s support of the Shia regime]:
Obama did not hide his larger goal. He told a biographer, New Yorker editor David Remnick, that he was establishing a geopolitical equilibrium “between Sunni, or predominantly Sunni, Gulf states and Iran.” According to The Washington Post’s David Ignatius, another writer Obama used as a public messaging instrument, realignment was a “great strategic opportunity” for a “a new regional framework that accommodates the security needs of Iranians, Saudis, Israelis, Russians and Americans.”
It was at this point that Obama began or put into overdrive his domestic spying campaign. At the same time General Flynn was teaming up with candidate Trump:
Flynn not only made it clear that he wanted to undo the Iran Deal, he also broadcast his determination to find the documents detailing the secret deals between Obama and Iran, and to publicize them. With Flynn on the march, the outgoing administration was keen to shield the JCPOA. Obama diplomats consulted with their European counterparts and gave the clerical regime more sanctions relief, even after the Senate agreed with a 99 to 0 vote to renew the Iran Sanctions Act.

EXCLUSIVE: The Link Between Obama’s Deep State FBI and CIA Was For Sure Peter Strzok But Likely Joe Pientka As Well

The link between Obama ’ s Deep State FBI and CIA was Peter Strzok and likely , his partner in crime , Joe Pientka , as well .
Laura Ingraham on FOX News had an excellent opening on last night ’ s show .
She reported that General Flynn ’ s discussion with the Russian diplomat in late December 2016 was not unmasked and therefore the transcript from Flynn ’ s discussion was likely obtained by a foreign government .
Here is her opening : The one item that is overlooked by most in the media is the fact that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work with other spy agencies around the world on the Obamagate scam because at least one , if not two partners in crime , Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka , worked for both the FBI and the CIA .
TRENDING : AI N'T GON NA HAPPEN : Alan Dershowitz Says Americans Can be Forced to Take Coronavirus Vaccine ( VIDEO ) As we reported on May 9th , Sidney Powell went on with Sean Hannity on FOX News .
This was right after breaking news that her client , General Michael Flynn , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ earlier in the day .
Powell shared the following : This was a deliberate , malevolent , concerted effort to destroy an honest man and thereby get to the of the United States to destroy him .
There ’ s no doubt about it whatsoever .

It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it for themselves , the actual evidence in the government ’ s own handwriting and documents… .
Hannity asked what did Obama know and when did he know it , to which , Powell replied : Probably Susan Rice and Peter Strzok , who was working for both Mr. Brennan in the CIA and the FBI on the quote ‘ counterintelligence investigation ’ .
We have to go back to at least August 15 , of 2016 when Strzok and Page text each other about the insurance policy they discussed in McCabe ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very next day , August 16 , 2016 , before the election when they opened the file on General Flynn .
The day after that they slipped an agent [ believed to be Joe Pientka ] into the Presidential briefing to spy on General Flynn .
Thanks to Powell , we know Strzok worked for the FBI and CIA .
This allowed the Deep State actor to spy on individuals in the US and in other countries and to perform all the activities that went along with these entities .
This also would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and others in similar positions in foreign countries .
We do know that Brennan was in Europe at the same time that Strzok and other members of the “ Secret Society ” met in England .
We also know that Strzok and Page referred to another Brennan CIA operative , Eric Ciaramella , the suspected Ukrainian impeachment scam whistleblower , as Charlie .
We also know Strzok insisted on keeping special authorities for the Mueller investigation .
Also , the Deep State intel community refused to confirm the existence of Ciaramella communications with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s suspected that Pientka was not only with the FBI but also with the CIA , which is why his name is rarely mentioned in reporting on his Deep State actions .
D. Manny put together a massive list of actions taken by Pientka during his time involved in the Trump – Russia hoax .
In January we found Pientka had been transferred to the San Francisco area and was being protected by the FBI .
We also know that Pientka was at the Obama White House in June 2016 at a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expert .
Again , we can not confirm this for Pientka , but it is likely that both Strzok and Pientka wore multiple hats in their efforts to remove the duly elected President of the United States , Donald Trump , from office .
This allowed the partners in crime to partake in all sorts of likely illegal activities in the US and in foreign countries .

As we reported on May 9th, Sidney Powell went on with Sean Hannity on FOX News. This was right after breaking news that her client, General Michael Flynn, had his case dismissed by the DOJ earlier in the day. Powell shared the following:

Strzok
Thanks to Powell, we know Strzok worked for the FBI and CIA. This allowed the Deep State actor to spy on individuals in the US and in other countries and to perform all the activities that went along with these entities. This also would have allowed Strzok to work with spies and others in similar positions in foreign countries.

Pientka
It’s suspected that Pientka was not only with the FBI but also with the CIA, which is why his name is rarely mentioned in reporting on his Deep State actions.
D. Manny put together a massive list of actions taken by Pientka during his time involved in the Trump – Russia hoax. In January we found Pientka had been transferred to the San Francisco area and was being protected by the FBI.
We also know that Pientka was at the Obama White House in June 2016 at a meeting with a CIA security and counterintelligence expert.

thegatewaypundit--2020-05-21--SHOCKING: More New Yorkers Died from Governor Cuomo’s Coronavirus Nursing Home Policy than Died on 9

SHOCKING: More New Yorkers Died from Governor Cuomo’s Coronavirus Nursing Home Policy than Died on 9/11

What a disaster !
The actions of New York ’ s governor Andrew Cuomo have led to thousands of coronavirus deaths in the state .
It was New York state policy to put the sick patients back in the nursing home .
TRENDING : AI N'T GON NA HAPPEN : Alan Dershowitz Says Americans Can be Forced to Take Coronavirus Vaccine ( VIDEO ) This order has since been removed from the New York State Department of Health website .
More people died in nursing homes in New York , due to Governor Cuomo ’ s policies , than died @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New York Post reported this week : Two weeks ago , Gov .
Andrew Cuomo was first asked about his policy that forced nursing homes to admit patients infected with the coronavirus .
“ That ’ s a good question , I don ’ t know , ” the governor answered , turning to an aide .
On Tuesday , Cuomo was asked about a report from the Associated Press that his team had added more than 1,700 deaths to the count of those who died in nursing homes , bringing the total @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t know the details , frankly , ” the governor answered , turning to an aide .
Cuomo is legendary for micromanaging and has been praised for his detailed daily briefings during the pandemic .
He has closed schools , religious services and businesses because each human life is “ priceless.
” So with known nursing home deaths representing 25 percent of all deaths in the state , it beggars belief that the governor didn ’ t know anything about his office ’ s fatal policy two weeks ago or the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way either could be true is through an extreme case of plausible deniability .
Thus , if there ’ s no proof he knew , he can ’ t be held responsible , right ?
Which was the whole point of the Sgt .
Schultz defense .

What kind of individual could even think up such a policy ?

What a disaster! The actions of New York’s governor Andrew Cuomo have led to thousands of coronavirus deaths in the state.
A memo dated March 25, 2020, ordered state officials to move coronavirus patients to nursing homes.
It was New York state policy to put the sick patients back in the nursing home.
This order has since been removed from the New York State Department of Health website.
More people died in nursing homes in New York, due to Governor Cuomo’s policies, than died on 9/11.
Michael Goodwin at the New York Post reported this week:
Two weeks ago, Gov. Andrew Cuomo was first asked about his policy that forced nursing homes to admit patients infected with the coronavirus. “That’s a good question, I don’t know,” the governor answered, turning to an aide. On Tuesday, Cuomo was asked about a report from the Associated Press that his team had added more than 1,700 deaths to the count of those who died in nursing homes, bringing the total to at least 4,813. “I don’t know the details, frankly,” the governor answered, turning to an aide. Sgt. Schultz reporting for duty! Cuomo is legendary for micromanaging and has been praised for his detailed daily briefings during the pandemic. He has closed schools, religious services and businesses because each human life is “priceless.” So with known nursing home deaths representing 25 percent of all deaths in the state, it beggars belief that the governor didn’t know anything about his office’s fatal policy two weeks ago or the new death totals now. The only way either could be true is through an extreme case of plausible deniability. Thus, if there’s no proof he knew, he can’t be held responsible, right? Which was the whole point of the Sgt. Schultz defense. That was a sitcom. This is life and death.
According to NBC News, New York’s policies for nursing homes required the homes to take in individuals that had the coronavirus:
The coronavirus patients began arriving the last week of March, transferred to the Gurwin Jewish Nursing and Rehabilitation Center under a New York state mandate requiring nursing homes to accept those recovering from COVID-19, even if they still might be contagious.
The governor’s nursing home policy in New York ended up in thousands of deaths.
Nearly 3,000 names appear on the 9/11 Memorial. This is the list of individuals who were innocently murdered on 9/11 when terrorists took down New York’s World Trade Center’s Twin Towers.

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.
If you click on this version of the legislation you will see that the current law is in regular text and the additions (SB 3993) are underlined.

” ‘

The Trump campaign has launched a new “You Ain’t Black” t-shirt mocking former Vice President Joe Biden’s explosive comment that African Americans who don’t vote for him “ain’t black.”
The shirt was launched just hours after Biden made the comment while appearing on the Breakfast Club radio show.
At the end of the interview on Friday morning, a staffer interrupted to let Biden know that he was out of time.
“You can’t do that to black media!” the show’s host, Charlamagne, said.
“I do that to white media and black media,” Biden replied, promising to come back on the show.
“If you have a problem figuring out if you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” Biden said.
“It don’t have nothing to do with Trump — it has to do with the fact that I want something for my community,” Charlamagne countered.
“That is the most arrogant, condescending comment I've heard in a very long time," @SenatorTimScott says in response to Joe Biden saying he's not really Black. "He's saying that 1.3 million African-Americans, that you’re not Black? Who in the heck does he think he is?” pic.twitter.com/HtNNQkIxTQ — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) May 22, 2020
The Trump campaign immediately condemned his statement, calling it “racist and dehumanizing.”
Biden apologized for the remark after facing backlash from across the political spectrum, saying that he “shouldn’t have been such a wise guy.”‘
WOW!! @JoeBiden tells @cthagod that if blacks have to think about whether they are for Trump or for Biden then, “YOU AIN’T BLACK”.
