When This Blows Over

“…These are the people who once upon a time believed
that when the government had railroaded an innocent
man, justice demanded that that person be released and
the government be held accountable. But when it
comes to someone close to Donald Trump, they’re happy to shoot
the innocent as well as the guilty. Michael Flynn never could have
been convicted at trial on this, because the government withheld
all of the evidence that would have shown he was not guilty.
That is what Attorney General Barr released.
The sudden re-appearance of Barack Obama on the stage to
criticize this and to criticize Trump’s handling of the pandemic, to
me, it’s instructive of how nervous he must be. The Flynn case
shows that the President – Barack Obama himself - was directly
involved in the spying: the spying we now know was
unauthorized. It had no legitimate purpose for law enforcement.
Barack Obama knew about it, had a role in it, discussed it. We
now know that for a fact. So, of course he’s going to try to
change the subject – The far left would rather have a few choice
words from their dear leader, than the facts of the case.
The idea that General Flynn pled guilty to something, ergo it must
be a crime…Would it be ok if you tortured him and then he pled
guilty? That’s in effect what they did by threatening his son. He
pled guilty to something that he didn’t do. That’s a show trial.
That’s what Stalin used to do. And the Nazis. That’s what makes
America different. We don’t do it that way. We don’t withhold
evidence and then pressure somebody to plead guilty for some
ulterior motive. That’s what happened in this case. The
government withheld important information, including the plot to
entrap him.”
