BOMBSHELL REPORT: Mueller Allegedly Blackmailed General Flynn Into Signing ‘Guilty Plea’


May 16, 2018

If this report is true, the Deep State and The Swamp are a million times worse and more powerful than we ever imagined.

According to a bombshell report from True Pundit, General Michael Flynn did not sign a “guilty plea” for lying to the FBI because he was actually guilty.

Flynn allegedly signed the plea because Special Counsel Robert Mueller strong-armed and blackmailed him into it, by threatening Flynn’s family, namely his son, with investigations and piles of legal fees.

https://truepundit.com/gen-flynn-signed-guilty-plea-after-mueller-threatened-his...

Gen. Michael Flynn didn’t cut a deal with U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller because he was necessarily guilty of lying to the FBI, or any crimes, according to sources close to the retired general.

Flynn was muscled and coerced into a plea deal, several sources said.

Flynn plead guilty after Mueller threatened Flynn’s family, including his son Michael Jr. According to sources close to Flynn family, Mueller threatened Flynn on multiple occasions that if he did not plead guilty to lying to the FBI, Mueller would investigate other Flynn family members.

Including his son. And rack up thousands more dollars in legal fees.

“I didn’t do anything illegal so this notion that one of the thing the Special Counsel could do to get my father to accept a plea deal was threaten me has always been odd,” Michael Flynn Jr. told True Pundit.

Odd but true nonetheless.

A close family associate said Mueller and his team even threatened Flynn Jr. during a meeting with Gen. Flynn in the same room. Mueller’s apparent goal with the threats was to cause additional stress in the Flynn family as well as hike Flynn’s legal fees which were already bankrupting the family, sources said.

“Between the threats and the finances, he (Gen. Flynn) had to make a deal to put the brakes on this,” a family associate said. “This has nothing to do with guilt. This was survival.”

The former Trump national security adviser pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2017 to making false statements to the FBI about conversations with Russia’s ambassador.

But was Flynn truly guilty?

GOP lawmakers certainly have their doubts.

Flynn Jr. said even he tried to cooperate with Mueller and his team during the investigation to try to enhance his father’s chances of walking away from charges.

“I had to give up all my electronics last year which contained most of my personal info,” Flynn Jr. said. “Laptop, cell phone, USB’s, etc. They were only supposed to look at info ‘relevant’ to the investigation but knowing now how crooked these people are, I don’t trust anything.”

Crooked indeed, according to former FBI veteran Robyn Gritz.

Gritz is a friend of Gen. Flynn and she also worked under Mueller at the FBI for more than a decade.

The 16-year FBI veteran said the thug behavior fits the manner Mueller operated as FBI director.

“This is how Mueller fashioned OPR,” said Gritz, referring to the Bureau’s internal grievance system for FBI employees. “No need to find the truth. Throw charges at FBI employees and make them prove the OPR/Inspection Division is wrong.

“That is close to impossible. Mueller is continuing this practice with the Special Prosecutor.”

Mueller’s Trump Russia probe has certainly followed a similar recipe. So far he is not investigating a crime as much as he is searching for one.

Now lawmakers are finally questioning Mueller’s motives in the Flynn investigation and also if in fact he did lie to the FBI, based on the internal FBI reports from the two field agents who questioned Flynn about alleged Russian contacts. One of those agents was the FBI’s embattled Peter Strzok who was removed from Mueller’s team for anti-Trump bias and texts.

The interrogation was coordinated by former and fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe who around the same time — in early 2017 — had threatened during a staff meeting iof FBI brass: “bugger Flynn and then we f*ck Trump.”

Gen. Flynn could not be reached for comment.

After his plea deal was announced, Flynn released a statement on Dec. 1, 2017 that in part read:

“My guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the Special Counsel’s office reflect a decision I made in the best interests of my family and our country.”

Also, based on recent court documents in Flynn’s case there appears to be a possibility that a judge could vacate his guilty plea and Flynn could walk away a free man.

And also free to talk.

Republicans just admit the Russians helped Trump win,

Quote:
"Russia tried to help Donald Trump win the 2016 election — and Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his government to do so."


That’s according to an official statement from the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee released on Wednesday.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/05/16/senate-intel-panel-russia-tried-help-trump-hurt-clinton-2016-election/615716002/

We know that all of his closest advisers and relatives were in meetings with the Russians around this time, but luckily Trump being so oblivious to things he may have a firewall to protect him from prosecution of collusion.

He did however post a tweet from the tower just minutes after the meetings with the Russians there attacking Clinton over her  emails.

There are over 250 pages worth of this report which I haven't read the whole thing yet, but I suspect there is more damning evidence in there.

Reps Ask Trump to Demand Documents, 2227


Good morning, I’m still reporting on:  Reps Ask Trump to Demand Documents, 2227
Synopsis:   
Three prominent Republicans have sent a letter to President Trump requesting that he exercise his authority as President of the United States to demand that the DOJ stop stonewalling Congress over long-requested documents.
Mark Meadows, chairman of the 36-member House Freedom Caucus; Jim Jordan, founder of the House Freedom Caucus; and Ron DeSantis, Chairman of the House National Security Subcommittee, signed the letter yesterday and delivered it to the President.
They asked the President to instruct AG Jeff Sessions to immediately produce all documents requested by Congress they have requested related to DOJ and FBI prosecutorial and investigative decisions made in 2016 and 2017.
It reads in part:
“To complete our independent oversight and investigative duties, we must obtain all documents responsive to previous requests by Congress. This includes the documents related to potential abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act; documents related to the FBI and broader Dept. of Justice’s initial investigation into the Trump campaign prior to the appointment of the Special Counsel; and the unredacted August 2017 memo written by Deputy AG Rosenstein that articulated the scope of the Special Counsel’s jurisdiction.
“The DOJ has obstructed Congressional oversight by refusing to supply necessary and relevant documents. As members of the legislative branch, we believe the best course of action would be for you to exercise the powers vested in the Executive to make the documents we require available to Congress.”

Even if that were true, the investigation is not about what would have happened if Clinton was, but what the Trump campaign did.

BUT, I think Clinton standing up for America against Russia would have been better than Trump supporting Putin and Russia.

Why else do you think Putin "preferred" Trump?

He can control him, as we see time and time again with Trumps actions.

By the way, fair warning to all, with the release of the Senate Intelligence Committee information, expect the trump supporters to go into overdrive with their propaganda to bury all the legitimate stories surrounding this.

Light's already doing his best I see.

So you don't condone war with Iran then?  You're in for a shock princess.  Trump and those around him are gearing up for just that.


But that aside, Putin prefers Trump because he can control him, and Trump as leader will, and has, destabilised the US.

Clinton also has a long record of standing up against Putin and Russia as Secretary of State.

Trump has done the opposite since taking the office. 

Even if you ignore the possibility of his campaign working with them, since he took office he has not condemned Russia or Putin along with the rest of the world, he's defended and congratulated him and undone sanctions put in place by the various levels of US Government.

Putin wanted someone he could control and if the pee tape amongst other things (like the Russian financing of Trump's business deals) Putin would have at least preferred the leaver of the US be a push over like Trump.

He got what he wanted no matter how you try to spin it.

Trump administration to provide records on Obama-era gun-smuggling probe


(Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department has agreed to provide congressional investigators confidential records on a failed gun-trafficking operation during the Obama administration known as "Fast and Furious" that long has been criticized by Republican lawmakers.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the Justice Department would hand over documents to the Republican-led House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that had been withheld by Democratic former President Barack Obama's administration.

The agreement reached by Republican President Donald Trump's administration will effectively end a six-year long legal battle in which the committee had gone to federal court to try to enforce a subpoena it had issued to obtain the records.

Congressional Republicans have been pressing the Justice Department for years about the operation. Named after a movie about car racing, the operation sought to curb gun-trafficking criminals who were selling weapons to Mexican drug cartels.

In June 2012, the Republican-led House voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder, an Obama appointee, in contempt for failing to turn over documents about the operation. The committee sued Holder for access to the documents in August 2012. Obama asserted executive privilege to block the disclosure of the documents.

Democrats at the time accused Republicans of engaging in a partisan witch hunt.

In an effort to build bigger cases against major gun traffickers who were selling arms to Mexican cartels, U.S. law enforcement officials elected not to prosecute lower-level offenders transporting more than 2,000 illegal guns.

The operation and its flaws became public after two of those firearms were found in Arizona at the scene of a fatal shooting of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

In September 2012, the Justice Department's inspector general released a report faulting 12 department employees for failures related to the operation. The report vindicated Holder, concluding he neither conceived the operation nor attempted a cover-up.

Holder, now a partner at the law firm Covington and Burling LLP, could not be immediately reached at his office on Wednesday.

the clue you are looking for is that after 6 years in the courts the judges - republican one - denied the subpoena.
