Yep, Barr is the most dangerous man in the country repeating Trump's corrupt talking points. Remember when Yates informed Trump about Flynn. Instead of listening, he fired her. Why? Trump was benefiting from the Russians. I respect all the folks who resigned or were fired instead of falling in line with this president. His lawyers are in a sinking ship for altering Cohen's testimony and the Flynn tapes.
Quote:
In the December 2016 call, Flynn urged that the Kremlin not get too riled up about U.S. sanctions that President Barack Obama had just announced against Russia and to give Trump time to take office. That conversation, intercepted by U.S. intelligence, raised grave concerns about Russians’ secret and frequent contact with Trump allies and advisers during the campaign and before his inauguration.
In the second conversation, an attorney for Trump tried to learn whether Flynn had any problematic information about the president after Flynn’s attorney signaled his client might begin cooperating with Mueller’s investigators. The attorney was John Dowd, then a private attorney for the president, according to people familiar with the episode. The special counsel was then threatening to charge Flynn with lying to FBI agents about his call to the ambassador. Dowd’s voice mail was scrutinized as Mueller’s investigators probed whether the president engaged in obstruction of justice to try to thwart the probe, and whether he deployed his aides to assist him.
In one of the previously redacted filings released Thursday, prosecutors said Flynn described multiple episodes in which “he or his attorneys received communications from persons connected to the Administration or Congress that could have affected both his willingness to cooperate and the completeness of that cooperation.”
Trump is now claiming that no one warned him about Flynn. So I did a bit of fact checking.
Two days after the election, Trump and Obama met for 90 minutes and several who were there reported that Obama warned Trump to steer clear of Flynn, citing problems that resulted in his being fired as head of Defense Intelligence Agency.
Chris Christie advised him not to hire Flynn. “If I were president-elect of the United States, I wouldn’t let General Flynn into the White House, let alone give him a job,” Christie said in 2017.
Rep. Elijah Cummings sent a letter to Pence, who led the transition team, in November 2016 warning that "Flynn’s work for Turkey and a speech he gave in Russia could violate the campaign’s code of ethics if he advised Trump on those two foreign nations."
Flynn’s lies to the FBI prompted officials to warn Trump once again about Flynn.
"On January 26, 2017, then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates personally informed the White House that Flynn lied to the FBI about his calls with Kislyak, and therefore was at risk of being blackmailed by Russia."
Trump calls Amash a loser. The president that needs Russia and Wikileaks to win an election by fewer votes than most presidents. The president who has a low approval rating and 64% of Americans believe that committed crimes.
Amash is correct and in line with 900 prosecutors that agree we have a corrupt president in office. We will learn even more before Flynn sentencing and the Counter-intel is released. Nixon's corruption in history will be a whisper compared to how loud Trump's corruption will go down.
