THE GENERAL FLYNN/RUSSIA CASE: AN INVESTIGATION SEARCHING FOR A CRIME


The Democrats are desperate. They are so weakened as a political entity that they are grasping at the proverbial straws in the vain hope that in some way they could undo the results of the last election and justify their massive failure in the 2016 election.  A monstrous failing in which their candidate who was phenomenally qualified, intricately connected to the power brokers and rolling in money lost to an underfunded  political neophyte.  It was a horrible embarrassment.  Now their dangerous flailings in the corridors of power endanger themselves and weaken the nation.  One hopes that their sense of patriotism and reminders of the oaths that they took to defend and protect the nation and the Constitution will in time sway them from the perilous course they are persuing which denies the electorate their due and weakens us all.

Sixty-three million Americans voted for President Trump, these voters  were widely dispersed across the Nation..forming a majority in thirty-six of our fifty states. That is the system our Founders set up for our election process.   President Trump is our legitimately elected President....Let us all get on with governing...as the Constitution directs us.

The feeding frenzy the Democrats are engaged in presently...is a fishing expedition. They are attempting to weaken and delegitimize our President.  That harms us all.  Their immediate focus is on one General Michael Flynn.  They are investigating General Flynn with the hopes that something will "turn up" they could claim as a "crime"---to support their so far, groundless and unsubstantiated claims that the Russians had something to do with their massive election loss.  

But aside from fantasy, innuendo and day dreams the Democrats, and their partisans in the Media  have provided NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THEIR CLAIMS.

What are the clobbering General Flynn with?

Flynn resigned from the White House staff as National Security Advisor, after his private conversations with the Russian Ambassador Mssr Kysliak, was secretly recorded and then illegally leaked to the press.  This act of some still unidentified culprit in the Obama Administration was and remains the only CRIME we know about in this affair.  Flynn was well within his perview as NS Advisor to the President to have legitmate communications with the ambassador of a major world power.

The Trump Administration was at that  in a stage in which its policies were in flux. Some within the evolving Administration were in favor of closer ties with Russia, while  others were for continuing on in a reprise of ill considered USA-Russian Cold War.  It was well known that General Flynn was of the former group--along with the vast number of Trump supporters.  This was in fact the policy statements that the President enunciated during the election--resetting the relationship  with Russia.  A policy which 63 million voters who elected Mr. Trump assented to when they pulled the lever in the voting booth.  This policy was not subversive or unAmerican.  But perhaps because of the evolving nature of foreign policy at that time...General Flynn thought it wise and prudent to underplay his conversations with the Russian Ambassador.  What could they have been?  "Hey when the President feels it is right we might reduce or eliminate those sanctions we put on you?"  That was a policy proposed by the President himself.  Perhaps its a good idea.  Flynn was less that truthful about his conversations with Kislyak.  Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, an Obama partisan,  who may have been the one who illegally "unmasked"  Flynn's private conversation,  made the unsubstantiated, far-fetched claim that Flynn was " liable to blackmail" by the Russians, who now presumably knew that Flynn "led" to VP Pensee.  That is a stretch.  But the brouhaha in the media was too much of a distraction and the President sought and received a letter of resignation from Flynn.

Elsewhere I have discussed the pittance (in DC money terms) that Flynn received, from Russia while a private citizen, to appear in a Russian television broadcast and another ceremonial affair.  Again there is no evidence that any crime was committed while Flynn was a private citizen.   The Democrats hypocritically ignored the vast sums the Clintons received from foreign powers, including Russia while Hillary was Secretary of State.  That was OK...Flynn's fees as a private citizen,  which mostly covered his travel expenses, are now viewed with suspicion.  This is laughable.

The "Russians did it" claim is a joke, but a dangerous joke on us all. It is a self-inflicted wound on the nation by a weak and flailing Democrat Party and their media supporters.  The 63 million people who elected this President have a right to a stable and functioning governementt.

So far these delusional elements have acted to undermine OUR governemnt and OUR nation.  Its is time for them to quit their paranoia, their h
