Michael Flynn files $50 million claim against feds in prelude to lawsuit over Russia probe
The general organizes his war.
[JustTheNews] Former Trump national security adviser, retired general alleges "malicious prosecution," "political motivation" and "abuse of process" by FBI, DOJ, the Obama White House and Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

In a prelude to a formal lawsuit, former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn has quietly filed a $50 million claim against the FBI and Justice Department for "malicious prosecution" related to the now-discredited Russia collusion investigation.

The notification, known as a Form 95 Civil Claim, obtained by Just the News, was filed Feb. 22. It names the DOJ, FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington D.C., Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office and the Executive Office of the President as potential defendants and alleges former President Barack Obama and the FBI had a vendetta against him that biased their actions.

2 wrongs don't make a right.
Suing the FED is suing US the taxpayers.

The lawyers should instead sue every person involved top to bottom for their Parts and have felony criminal charges brought for leaders.

Polictics must end where LAW & CIVIL RIGHTS START.

#2  Bankrupt the government. Then it can no longer afford to pay the exorbitant pay and gravy train the top DOJ officials got from Obama and Biden as a loyalty perk.

#3  ^^2 The US government is already bankrupt. Those chickens have not come home to roost. Yet.

#4  Flynn and his lawyer Jesse Binnall

Glad to see he got a new lawyer. The showboaters (Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Giuliani) did our cause as much harm as good.

New Illinois law targets people involved in organized retail crimes
[JustTheNews] Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker
...scion of the Hyatt hotel family, multibillionaire, Chicago Democrat...
signed a bill aimed at cracking down on smash-and-grab burglaries, but Republican lawmakers say more needs to be done in fighting crime.

The governor signed the Inform Act into law, which enforces the new crime of organized retail theft.

National attention has been paid to dozens incidents on camera showing mobs of people rushing into stores to steal goods, even while employees and customers are inside.

“These brazen acts not only place retail employees and customers at risk, but also deprive local municipalities and the state of much needed tax dollars,” Chauncey Rice from the Illinois Retail Merchants Association said.

Last December, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul’s Organized Retail Crime Task Force recovered $1 million worth of stolen goods from storage units. Raoul said the money received from the sale of stolen goods is then used to fund other criminal activities.

“Organized retail crime is very much linked to other dangerous criminal activity, such as human trafficking, gun trafficking, drug trafficking, and in some instances, terrorism,” Raoul said.

The law is intended to close prosecution loopholes that have been letting thieves off the hook by allowing the Illinois Attorney General to seat a statewide grand jury that could issue indictments for organized retail theft.

Anyone involved in a retail theft of $300 or more would be charged with a Class 3 felony, but state Rep. Ryan Spain, R-Peoria, said to make a real impact, criminal justice reform measures pushed through by Democrats, like the ending of cash bail Jan. 1, need to be scrapped.

“Democrats have acted in haste with the passing of House Bill 3653 , the SAFE-T Act,” Spain said. “It has created tremendous damage to the community of law enforcement and to criminal activity throughout the state of Illinois.”

House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, said the SAFE-T Act is anti-cop legislation and is driving quality police officers out of Illinois.

“Four-hundred Illinois state police troopers have left the job,” Durkin said. “We’ve had a municipality shut down their police department because we cannot and will not comply with this legislation.”

The Inform Act addressing organized retail theft goes into effect Jan. 1, 2023.
Why wait over half a year?

#3  “Four-hundred Illinois state police troopers have left the job,” Durkin said. “We’ve had a municipality shut down their police department because we cannot and will not comply with this legislation.”

That was the whole idea in the first place, dumbass. The Left WANTS good officers to leave in disgust. Who's going to replace them, you think? It's a Maoist style purge.

#4  Consider if the nation-wide, urban DA-PD pro-criminal policies were not insanity but a tactic to enrage voters as a prelude to political support for creating a National Police Force, and what that would mean. Think the DoJ and FBI now enforce a two-tier Justice system, imagine the power of a single, federal, DC managed and funded Police Force. Just spit-balling here, but imagine what it might do to that pesky Constitution and Bill of Rights. Ever notice that elected Sheriffs don't seem to have the problems that appointed Police Chiefs deal with?

#5  .. but a tactic to enrage voters as a prelude to political support for creating a National Police Force

Yeah, we have one. It's call the militia.

#2  Isn't Sputnik I'm about three weeks behind the latest polls?
Posted by: Bobby || 05/16/2022 2:45 Comments || Top||

#3  ...Just for myself, I'm working on the assumption that the polls we do hear about are being cherry-picked, and that the actual numbers are probably 6-8% lower..

#4  /\ Misleading numbers could also apply to inflation estimates Mike. But on the other end of the scale....6-8% higher.

#5  Some men might go fishing, but I recommend Biden and his son contact Life coach Fanafikile Lephakha. Fana is gearing up for the second-ever naked hike on 25 June aimed at helping men overcome their insecurities.

#6  ...ah, yes the time long ago before we could hunt something bigger than a rabbit to clothe ourselves with. That was in a competitive environment where things could hunt us as well.

#8  Hey B. - there's a slot on the naked women's hike if you're interested however...they're all from Portland. Lefties shouldn't have a problem with this since they can't define woman anyway
