#1 Excerpt from the PJ article. Hat tip to attorney Powell.


The filing on Flynn's behalf was possible in part due to the Inspector General's report on FISA abuse. Powell claimed that the IG report is "replete with information that is exculpatory to Mr. Flynn and damning of the conduct the FBI used against him. Flynn is one of the four original targeted by Crossfire Hurricane and unmasked by previous administration because of 'his puported ties to Russia.'" Furthermore, the FBI got access to Flynn's information because of the Carter Page FISA warrant, at least two of which we now know were illegally obtained.

Powell believes that the original "302" report on the Flynn meeting, in which FBI agents believed that Flynn was telling the truth, have been lost or worse.

#4 Destroying a political opponent with false accusations concocted out of nothing.

Destroying evidence produced by your own investigators who concluded there was nothing to these bizarre, stupid, scurrilous accusations.

And up until a few weeks ago, refusing to admit any responsibility at all for these actual crimes, this actual corruption, on their own part -- instead, unbelievably, arguing for MORE prison time for this man whom they vilified, slandered, bankrupted, and tried to totally destroy.

Because he was selected by Trump.

We are once again through the looking glass and into the land of inversion, the insane realm where the accused are the victims and the accusers are the criminals.

F--- these morons. We need prison terms for the people who ginned up these ridiculous accusations and for whoever destroyed the FBI's own 302 report that demolished them.

#7 Kavanaugh, Flynn, Nick Sandmann...

Those who accused these blameless men and this completely harmless, innocent schoolboy are beneath contempt.

Blowsey Ford, Swetnick and their handlers, Schifferbrains, McCabe and Strzok, the howling jackals who tried to get Sandmann doxxed, assaulted or even killed: ALL of these f---ers deserve prison time, every one of them.

#9 Bring back banishment.

Nah. In this day and age they would just sell books and go on talk shows.

I prefer the noose and lamp posts along Pennsylvania Ave.

#11 I've been throught he court system alot in my lifetime. When they offer up probation they don't have or don't have enough for it to be worth going through a trial for.
