Just in case you were still undecided or sitting on the fence about the cons in charge....

Peace! :)

Former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn has told the Senate Intelligence Committee he is willing to testify about the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia in return for immunity from prosecution, a Congressional official told NBC News.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Flynn had told the FBI and Congress he was willing to be interviewed in exchange for a grant.

Flynn, a retired Lt. Gen. who headed the Defense Intelligence Agency before being pushed out by the Obama administration, advised the Trump campaign beginning in 2015. He served as President Trump's national security advisor for three weeks before resigning for what the Trump administration said was misleading Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.

Flynn was paid $45,000 plus expenses to speak at the 10th anniversary gala of the RT television network in Moscow in December 2015, while he was already an advisor to Trump. The U.S. considers RT, which is state-sponsored, to be a propaganda outlet.

Prior to Trump's inauguration, on the day that President Obama announced sanctions against Russia as punishment for interfering in the U.S. election, Flynn spoke on the phone with Russian Ambassador Kislyak.

A U.S. intelligence official told NBC News that Flynn had discussed the hacking-related sanctions with Kislyak prior to Trump's inauguration. Flynn told the Washington Post he didn't discuss sanctions with Kislyak, then said he couldn't remember whether they had discussed sanctions.

Democrat Spy Scheme Unravels

James Comey, corrupt political hack FBI Chief, has now admitted that 'the Roadmap' for the massive abuse of Federal Power and spying on the Republicans initiated by anti-American affirmative-action President Obama was based upon a report created by a discredited British Spy.


Wood acknowledged that until now ?no single piece of evidence has been made public proving that the Trump campaign joined with Russia to steal the US presidency ? nothing.?

But he wrote that ?the FBI Director, James Comey, told a hushed committee room in Congress last week that this is precisely what his agents are investigating.?


That's right. Having NO EVIDENCE of any connection between Trump and the Russians, the FBI used a report from a Spy who had been paid by Hilary Clinton to find dirt of Donald Trump.

NO EVIDENCE. The report has been widely discredited, and included bizarre claims that Donald Trump received Golden Showers from Russian Hookers in a Moscow Hotel.

The Washington Post reported that after being paid to compile opposition research on Trump by the billionaire?s opponents during the election, Steele ?reached an agreement with the FBI a few weeks before the election for the bureau to pay him to continue his work, according to several people familiar with the arrangement.?

largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump compiled by a former British intelligence officer served as a ?roadmap? for the FBI?s investigation into claims of coordination between Moscow and members of Trump?s presidential campaign, the BBC reported on Wednesday.

And before you go around screaming "fake news," there are multiple sources that corroborate these claims. It appears that some are abandoning the sinking ship. So much for loyalty. To his/her own....that is the Republican way, right?

Mike Flynn Offers to Testify in Exchange for Immunity

Former national security adviser tells FBI, the House and Senate intelligence committees he?s willing to be interviewed in exchange for deal, officials say

WASHINGTON?Mike Flynn, President Donald Trump?s former national security adviser, has told the Federal Bureau of Investigation and congressional officials investigating the Trump campaign?s potential ties to Russia that he is willing to be interviewed in exchange for a grant of immunity from prosecution, according to officials with knowledge of the matter.

As an adviser to Mr. Trump?s presidential campaign, and later one of Mr. Trump?s top aides in the White House, Mr. Flynn was privy to some of the most sensitive foreign-policy deliberations of the new administration and was directly involved in discussions about the possible lifting of sanctions on Russia imposed by the Obama administration.

He has made the offer to the FBI and the House and Senate intelligence committees through his lawyer but has so far found no takers, the officials said.

Mr. Flynn?s attorney, Robert Kelner, wouldn?t comment on details of his discussions involving Mr. Flynn, but noted he is a decorated Army veteran with a lifetime of public service.

?General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit,? Mr. Kelner said.

It wasn?t clear if Mr. Flynn had offered to talk about specific aspects of his time working for Mr. Trump, but the fact that he was seeking immunity suggested Mr. Flynn feels he may be in legal jeopardy following his brief stint as the national security adviser, one official said.

Representatives for the FBI and Senate Intelligence Committee declined to comment. Officials with the House Intelligence Committee didn?t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Mr. Flynn was forced to resign after acknowledging that he misled White House officials about the nature of his phone conversations with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the presidential transition.

Mr. Flynn?s communications with the Russian ambassador, Sergei Kislyak, have been scrutinized by the FBI, which is examining whether Trump campaign personnel colluded with Russian officials who are alleged to have interfered with the presidential election, according to current and former U.S. officials. Russia has denied the allegations.

Mr. Flynn also was paid tens of thousands of dollars by three Russian companies, including the state-sponsored media network RT, for speeches he made shortly before he became a formal adviser to Mr. Trump?s campaign, according to documents obtained by a congressional oversight committee.

At a House Intelligence Committee hearing last week, Democratic lawmakers requested a copy of the security-clearance form that Mr. Flynn was required to file before joining Mr. Trump in the White House, to see if he disclosed sources of foreign income.

And they have asked the Defense Department to investigate whether Mr. Flynn, a retired Army general, violated the Constitution?s emoluments clause by accepting money from RT, which U.S. intelligence officials say is part of a state-funded media apparatus, without authorization, according to a letter several Democratic lawmakers sent Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis in February.

Mr. Kelner, Mr. Flynn?s attorney, decried the ?unfounded allegations, outrageous claims of treason? and other charges by lawmakers and media commentators.

?No reasonable person, who has the benefit of advice from counsel, would submit to questioning in such a highly politicized, witch-hunt environment without assurances against unfair prosecution,? he said.

Congress and the executive branch have the power to grant immunity from prosecution in exchange for witness testimony or cooperation in an investigation. People granted immunity still can be prosecuted for perjury if they give false information.

Traditionally, investigators grant immunity when they believe a witness?s information is important to the investigation and might not be able to be obtained otherwise. During the investigation of Hillary Clinton?s use of a private email server, the FBI granted limited forms of immunity to some of her aides. Mrs. Clinton wasn?t charged in the matter.

A grant of immunity from Congress would require approval from two-thirds of the congressional committee requesting testimony or a majority vote in the full House or Senate. Congress would then need to notify the attorney general and get the approval of a district court judge.

Mr. Flynn, 58 years old, also has drawn questions about whether he properly disclosed aspects of his work after he left military service.

Earlier this month, Mr. Flynn filed registration forms acknowledging he had previously worked as a foreign agent on behalf of Turkish government interests. The Wall Street Journal reported that while serving as an adviser to the Trump campaign, Mr. Flynn met with top Turkish government ministers and discussed removing a Muslim cleric from the U.S. and taking him to Turkey, according to former Central Intelligence Agency Director James Woolsey, who attended, and others who were briefed on the meeting. The Turkish government has accused the cleric of being behind an attempted coup last year.

A spokesman for Mr. Flynn disputed the account, saying ?at no time did Gen. Flynn discuss any illegal actions, nonjudicial physical removal or any other such activities.?

Mr. Flynn is one of at least four people associated with the Trump campaign who are part of a wide-ranging counterintelligence investigation by the FBI, according to the current and former U.S. officials.

The other three?former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and former Trump advisers Roger Stone and Carter Page?all have volunteered to speak to the House and Senate committees and haven?t asked for immunity from prosecution, according to the individuals, committee officials and representatives for the individuals.

Rep. Adam Schiff Responds To White House Challenge To Review Obama Surveillance
theconservativetreehouse.com ^ | March 30, 2017

Posted on ‎3‎/‎30‎/‎2017‎ ‎10‎:‎14‎:‎07‎ ‎PM by Helicondelta

If you?ve been following along you?ll note ranking member of the intelligence committee Adam Schiff didn?t want to see the ?Gang-of-Eight? level intelligence previously reviewed by Intel Chairman Devin Nunes.

However, as a result of President Trump publicly sending a letter to Adam Schiff and Senator Mark Warner, ranking member Schiff no longer has an option to keep looking away. If he refused to look at the surveillance intelligence Schiff would be exposing his political motivations ? an entrenched ideology attempting to protect President Obama.

Trump smartly positions Schiff where his only play is to accept the invitation from the White House.

In order for Schiff to maintain his public protestations, entirely based on politics, he must mislead about the rules and laws surrounding the intelligence product. Schiff must also keep the committee from seeing the full executive intelligence report that is concerning to Devin Nunes. The intelligence product is ?Go8? level, but has the support of the NSA to share with the full committee.

Firm Hired By DNC & Relied On By FBI To Prove Russia Hacking Forced To Withdraw Anti-Russian Report
The Lid ^ | March 30, 2017 | Jeff Dunetz

Posted on ‎3‎/‎31‎/‎2017‎ ‎3‎:‎08‎:‎18‎ ‎PM by Trump20162020

Reported in January, the FBI based its decision that it was the Russians that hacked into the DNC computers on a report commissioned by the DNC and generated by a company called CrowdStrike (the FBI was never allowed to examine the DNC server). The VOA recently caught CrowdStrike creating a bogus and unrelated hacking charge against Russia, and making up the facts to prove its veracity.

To make their determination that the Democrats were hacked by Russia, the FBI relied exclusively on information from private digital forensics company Crowdstrike. It wasn?t the FBI?s fault the DNC wouldn?t allow the FBI to look a their servers for the hacking investigation, instead forced them to use the Crowdstrike report paid for by the Party.

Intelligence official who 'unmasked' Trump associates is 'very high up,' source says
FOX News ^

Posted on ‎3‎/‎31‎/‎2017‎ ‎3‎:‎52‎:‎35‎ ‎PM by springwater13

The U.S. intelligence official who ?unmasked,? or exposed, the names of multiple private citizens affiliated with the Trump team is someone ?very well known, very high up, very senior in the intelligence world,? a source told Fox News on Friday.

Intelligence and House sources with direct knowledge of the disclosure of classified names told Fox News that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., now knows who is responsible -- and that person is not in the FBI.

For a private citizen to be ?unmasked,? or named, in an intelligence report is extremely rare. Typically, the American is a suspect in a crime, is in danger or has to be named to explain the context of the report.

?The main issue in this case, is not only the unmasking of these names of private citizens, but the spreading of these names for political purposes that have nothing to do with national security or an investigation into Russia?s interference in the U.S. election,? a congressional source close to the investigation told Fox News.

Let me help you process this information.

1) The wire tapping claim is from Trump. He found out that the Intel community knew about his team talking to Russia and assumed he was being spied on. Limbaugh is banking on his listeners trusting that Trump is right.
2) "We have very good intelligence on Russia." THIS IS THE KEY THAT YOU HAVE TO OVERLOOK TO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS! It's why Trump thought he was being wire tapped, then realized he was wrong and recanted. The US is spying on Russia. NEWSFLASH! EXTRA! EXTRA! What happens when you talk to someone who's being spied on? WHHHHHHOOOOOOOPPPPPPPSSSSSY DAIIIIISSSSEEEEEEEYYYYY.
3) She says "if they found out how we knew what we knew, the Trump team would compromise those sources and methods and we would no longer have access to that intelligence". Dumb people go back to believing Trump's wire tap claim. She's telling you the US spies have dirt on Trump and it needs to be protected before Trump has it destroyed.

Mike Flynn knows he is screwed and is trying to cut a deal. The penalty for treason is stiff.

Obama Official Who Hinted at Intel Leaks Now Says She?s Victim of ?Fake News?



By Kyle Drennen | March 30, 2017 | 4:33 PM EDT


Appearing in MSNBC?s 3 p.m. ET hour on Thursday, Evelyn Farkas, the former Obama administration official who admitted on national television earlier this month that the Democratic administration was trying to ?get as much information? as possible about Donald Trump and his associates, claimed she was actually the victim of a ?dark campaign of fake news.?



Farkas, President Obama?s former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense and now an NBC News National Security Analyst, whined to anchor Kate Snow: ?And on the dark campaign of fake news, you know, that's still ongoing. We see even someone like myself get swept up in all of this. You know, when people like me are speaking on behalf of process, people spin to it suit their needs. And I think it may be that the Russians are behind even such fake news today.?
