Those who've read Lee Smith's book will know why. Kash is the guy to be in that spot if you're looking for actual reform/cleanup/justice.

Worst white supremacist ever.

Patel having all that Nunes knowledge and feeding it to Grenell, declass finally coming?  Virginia jury pool any better than a DC jury pool?

The way people are screeching "Russia" again, the #resist brigade in full meltdown ... I'm waiting for Impeachment 2.0. ?

America has criminalized speech and thought with Flynn, Stone, Avenatti and…

Posted on February 23, 2020

Prosecutors these days don’t need to prove that the defendant committed an illegal act. Unencumbered by any judge or jury, prosecutors have the power to ruin people’s lives for the “crime” of what they say or think.

 

That’s what’s happening in the high-profile, politically-tinged cases of Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Michael Avenatti and others.

 

In the case of Flynn, the former National Security Advisor, the FBI decided beforehand to downplay their interview of him by presenting it almost as a social call.

Then they asked him questions to which they already knew the answers, for the sole purpose of tricking him into a lie or a fudging of the truth.

 

They made no recording of their conversation, so we don’t really know what Flynn said. But according to the two FBI agents in the conversation, Flynn was deceptive in his answers.

 

On that basis, they destroyed this decorated Lieutenant General’s reputation, livelihood and lifetime savings.

 

All this was for the purpose of pressuring him into cooperating with the Russian collusion case they were building against the President, the case that the special prosecutor later debunked. The FBI knew Flynn didn’t possess the financial wherewithal to mount a defense, so they gambled that he would do, say and testify to whatever they asked.

 

It worked. Flynn agreed to cooperate in their investigation and even plead guilty to the charged “crime” of lying to them.

 

Flynn later sought to withdraw his guilty plea after investigation of the FBI showed their blatant political bias and deception in the investigation of the president. The current Attorney General has appointed a career prosecutor to look anew at the entire case.

 

Roger Stone was an unsavory political strategist who was involved with Wikileaks and other shadowy characters in uncovering emails and evidence damaging to Hillary Clinton’s campaign. His arrest was accomplished with a pre-dawn raid on his family home by 29 heavily armed FBI agents.

 

Like Flynn, he was never charged him with any crimes for which he was investigated but was charged instead with lying to the investigators. And for “witness tampering” for his discussions with other people that were interviewed in the investigations.

 

The judge – an Obama appointee – didn’t like some of his political statements outside the courtroom, and imposed a gag order on him. He was convicted by a jury whose forewoman was a Democratic activist that had tweeted her bias in advance of, during and after the trial.

Quote

Take Avenatti, the flamboyant and distasteful Democratic activist and lawyer for the stripper who sued the President.

 

The modus operandi of most plaintiff’s lawyers is to threaten to bring a case unless the target of their threat agrees to a payoff. And so Avenatti recently threatened the Nike shoe company with disclosing Nike’s actions in buying off student athletes.

 

Nike went to the cops, who decided that Avenatti’s threat amounted to criminal extortion. At trial, they won a conviction that could imprison Avenatti for the rest of his life.

 

Avenatti is a bad apple, but revealing Nike’s actions is not a crime. It became a crime – the so-called crime of extortion – only when he asked for money not to reveal Nike’s actions.

 

How is it a crime to threaten to do something that is not a crime unless someone pays you money not to?

 

Uh, what the *****? Talk about revising history. Avenetti's crime wasn't that he threatened a lawsuit if they didn't come to terms, his crime was threatening to publicly release information if they didn't pay an exorbitant amount (the vast majority of which was going to go in his pockets.) That's pretty much the definition of extortion.

 

Comparing Avenatti to General Flynn is a hell of an insult to Flynn.

I would argue that the article was about how the tactics used against Flynn, Avenetti  and others were the same.

 

Not that they are equals.
