As the investigation into General Flynn seemed dead on arrival, it was Peter Strzok who reinvigorated it in the ongoing Deep State coup attempt on Trump. U.S. Attorney General Barr, not happy with the merits of the FBI’s case, asked the Missouri State AG to take a look. Also coming to the same conclusion as Barr, this ultimately led to charges against Flynn dropped. Will this finally usher in the indictments of those involved in the Brennan/FISA case? And will Flynn ever see his accusers in civil court? Brad Johnson, retired Senior CIA Operative and President of Americans for Intelligence Reform, hopes so and takes you down the twisted path of the Flynn case. We hope that these interviews give you deeper insight into the political turn our Intelligence Community has taken only to forget their true purpose – espionage and providing information and facts.

Brad Johnson it is May the 7th and
00:02
something happened today which I think
00:03
is a really powerful sign of goodness
00:07
and and correction in administration and
00:11
that is the all charges were dropped
00:14
against general Flynn and equally and
00:16
perhaps even more important is he was
00:18
not pardoned that it was the process
00:20
itself that determined that he was not
00:22
guilty out in interviews you and I did
00:25
God’s got to be going back over two
00:27
years you pointed out how the judge was
00:31
even sure back then that he was was not
00:35
guilty and was would be damned before he
00:37
would convict an innocent man so let’s
00:40
hear your analysis now that you’ve been
00:42
proven to be absolutely right yeah well
00:45
thank you yeah that the judge the
00:47
comment that he had made at the time as
00:49
you referred to there was that that he
00:51
had never once accepted a plea bargain
00:54
that would put a innocent man in jail
00:56
and he wasn’t wasn’t about to start now
00:58
and I I went through all of the things
01:00
with this judge about how he was you
01:03
know he was just he was he was clearly
01:05
fully convinced that general Flynn was
01:07
innocent of everything and so he was
01:09
very uncomfortable with charging him I
01:12
mean with after he was convicted he
01:14
accepted the plea deal of actually
01:16
sentencing him he was uncomfortable with
01:18
that sentencing process so then I was
01:21
kind of skipped forward what happened
01:23
was US Attorney General Barr took a look
01:27
at the situation didn’t like what he saw
01:29
started asking questions didn’t like
01:31
what he saw so he did something that’s a
01:33
little bit unusual normally prosecutors
01:37
really don’t step on the toes of other
01:38
prosecutors if they’ve tried the case
01:40
they’ve tried the case and everybody
01:41
just kind of his hands off they don’t
01:43
publicly analyze it or things like that
01:45
they just let it roll and in this case
01:48
what bar did was he pulled a US Attorney
01:51
I think there’s Western District of
01:53
Minnesota it doesn’t matter you pulled
01:54
another US Attorney out and said go take
01:57
a look at this case so that guy got put
02:00
down in the middle of this reviewed the
02:02
whole case and came to the conclusion
02:04
that the whole case was bogus and so he
02:07
went before the judge and said we’re
02:08
withdrawing all charges
02:10
never should have been filed to begin
02:12
with so that is a very very very
02:15
interesting development and a lot of
02:17
ramifications out of this now one of the
02:20
things that’s come back out of this is
02:22
that how what was the origin of this
02:24
case and this whole investigation
02:27
started off by the freshly out of office
02:31
Obama he was the one that kicked it off
02:34
and went back to some of the Obama
02:36
holdovers that were still in office in
02:37
DOJ and said hey this conversation took
02:40
place why don’t you take a look at it so
02:42
that’s what kicked the whole process off
02:44
then the next phase of it if you will is
02:46
is the FBI investigators went in they
02:49
set him up and they said oh we just need
02:52
to come you know routine stuff need to
02:54
come in and talk to you about some stuff
02:56
and you know no biggie not you need a
02:57
lawyer or anything we’re just coming to
02:58
settle up and so he goes yeah sure you
03:01
know collegial attitude yeah okay fine
03:03
you know how can I help you and they set
03:06
him up and in his big lie the thing that
03:09
the Liberals on TV all of the mainstream
03:12
media guys are admitted liar admitted
03:14
liar the big lie was you know is
03:16
something like to the effect of you know
03:19
so you had that phone call on Thursday
03:21
morning right he goes yeah I think so
03:23
and it was actually Friday morning and
03:25
so they caught in a lie because it’s
03:27
like wow I don’t remember and then
03:29
they’re claiming it was a lie so yeah
03:31
okay he didn’t remember accurately
03:33
because you know how many hundreds and
03:36
hundreds of phone calls does a guy like
03:37
that make and you look back you know a
03:40
month ago and tell me what day and what
03:42
time meant phone call took place criminy
03:45
you know I’m lucky you remember I had
03:46
the phone call not even the day and time
03:49
of it so that was the big lie they
03:51
caught him in now as that as the FBI
03:54
went through all of that process and
03:56
they have that file that they that they
03:58
keep of all the information that comes
04:00
out of the investigation and that file
04:03
has gone missing is part of the problem
04:05
and so of course that you know very
04:07
suspicious those things don’t go missing
04:09
it got it got destroyed by one of the
04:12
guys involved one of the FBI or DRG
04:15
people involved FBI and so at any rate
04:18
they’re all sitting around one okay you
04:20
know
04:21
look this guy’s done nothing wrong all
04:23
the in VI investigations are saying this
04:25
guy did absolutely nothing wrong until
04:28
it got to the point where that it goes
04:30
to before or Peter Straub is sitting
04:32
there and so Peter start the infamous
04:34
guy who’s gotten in so much deep you
04:37
know doodoo out of all of this stuff was
04:39
the guy that said no no no no hold on
04:41
this investigation is not over and he’s
04:43
the one that reinvigorated it and made
04:45
it go forward and made him start
04:47
changing the files all that stuff
04:49
originated out of Peter strop now just
04:53
kind of in the scheme of things Peter
04:54
stock was very much a go-to guy out of
04:56
the Obama administration Peter stock was
04:59
the head of the counterintelligence
05:02
division of the FBI one of the several
05:05
things the way this is being played by
05:06
the mainstream media the left-wing
05:08
you know pro Obama media is that this is
05:13
crazy that this guy admitted to lying
05:15
and you know how could it possibly be if
05:17
he meant Stu lying that that they
05:18
dismissed the charges and they’re
05:20
actually just you know sometimes I think
05:22
these guys are all smoking crack with
05:24
the stuff they come up with but their
05:26
album well but the judge doesn’t have to
05:27
take that recommendation he can insist
05:29
that this case go on but as as we’ve
05:32
talked about multiple times and as you
05:34
reminded us all the my judge knew this
05:37
case stunk to high heaven from the very
05:39
beginning so the judge is the last guy
05:41
that’s gonna try to keep this thing
05:42
going forward he’s happy to have this
05:44
this mess behind him because he didn’t
05:46
like it at all so and then of course the
05:49
nature of the lie is just it was a setup
05:51
and and like I said that all came out of
05:54
how Peter straw got involved so
05:56
interesting that just that he’s this guy
05:59
that the elbe and by the way I was going
06:00
to say that the press seems to be
06:02
playing him is just some mid-level guy
06:04
but you know you have the head of the
06:06
FBI the deputy I there may be a couple
06:08
of Deputies and then you have two
06:10
divisions criminal and CI criminal being
06:12
the big one CI being the smaller but
06:15
nevertheless there’s two two of those
06:16
divisions and he was the head of it so I
06:19
mean arguably he’s the number four or
06:21
five guy in the FBI and they’re calling
06:23
him some mid-level guy guys you know if
06:25
you had a CI division or criminal
06:26
division in the
06:27
yeah that’s not a small position that’s
06:29
a very very senior leadership position
06:32
so just everything coming out of the
06:33
Main Street main stream media is just
06:35
you manipulating the information for
06:38
their own benefit now so big loser out
06:41
of all of this is is this connection
06:44
back up to Obama I would say between
06:48
Pierce track of the FBI the DOJ and and
06:51
Obama they’re the parties that are
06:54
coming under scrutiny and under question
06:56
for this
06:56
so that’s damned interesting another
06:59
thing too now the way that all this was
07:02
done there’s clearly some criminal
07:04
implications out of this on the part of
07:07
the FBI leadership the DOJ at now I
07:11
don’t know so much about Obama because
07:13
Obama apparently was the guy that
07:14
brought it to the DOJ his attention but
07:16
said hey did you know about this phone
07:17
call maybe you should look into it that
07:19
by itself is not criminal nevertheless
07:21
it’s interesting that they would have
07:23
received that as you know orders yes sir
07:25
we’ll go make sure that that’s
07:27
investigated it depends on what was said
07:29
there and what can be proved which is
07:31
probably nothing but the lower down is
07:34
the one that actually were involved in
07:35
this have a paper trail on some of these
07:37
things so I would say there’s a there’s
07:39
a pretty decent case there against them
07:41
criminally now since this thing was over
07:44
they’ve already been undercut they’ve
07:45
been reversed essentially by leadership
07:48
at DOJ it’s going to be very interesting
07:51
to see how that part plays out but I
07:53
would say there’s another big big loser
07:56
in this that’s gone completely under the
07:58
radar nobody’s mentioned his name at all
08:00
and maybe he won’t turn out to be such a
08:02
loser because he’s just so completely
08:04
forgettable and forgotten and that’s
08:06
Jeff Sessions Jeff Sessions was in there
08:09
as Attorney General and all this was
08:11
going on got kicked off and started he
08:14
didn’t recuse himself from this one so
08:16
it’s interesting that that all of this
08:20
would have been taking place and he
08:21
would have been aware of all of this
08:23
stuff and yet where was he when this was
08:26
going on and I would I would argue to
08:28
you that probably I think if if as in
08:33
the history books when people start
08:34
looking back at this and may
08:36
even in the in the short-term I think
08:39
one of the people that’s going to be
08:40
looked on is just simply being plain old
08:43
fashioned cowardice Jeff sessions he
08:45
recused himself from the big case of all
08:48
the FISA investigation when he didn’t
08:50
really have to and he didn’t even step
08:53
in and get involved in this Flynn case
08:55
in any way shape or form even though he
08:57
would have known he had to have known a
08:59
lot of the details of what was going on
09:01
and could have put this together himself
09:03
like I said US Attorney General Dwyer
09:05
walked in and now granted he’d done this
09:07
before so we had more experience than
09:09
sessions but he walked in took a look at
09:11
all this stuff and said you know they
09:12
have right something’s wrong here
09:14
started asking questions didn’t like the
09:16
answers he got and then this is the
09:18
result of that process so sessions must
09:22
have done something and did absolutely
09:24
nothing recused himself out of that of
09:28
the of the FISA case the fight’s
09:30
investigation and ended up being
09:32
absolutely do nothing guy that that
09:35
rightly so president Trump finally was
09:38
forced to fire not that Jeff Sessions is
09:40
a bad guy I think he’s by all accounts a
09:43
very decent man but clearly clearly
09:45
clearly just not up to doing the job
09:47
very cowardly in his approach to that
09:49
and let me say Jeff Sessions was kind of
09:53
a mainstay in the Republican Party and
09:55
unfortunately I would say one of the
09:57
problems we have with the Republican
09:59
Party today the the Democrats are
10:03
aggressively going about their about
10:07
whatever their political goals are in
10:10
life and certainly we can see that the
10:12
way the investigation was done over the
10:14
then the phone call to Ukraine and all
10:16
of those sorts of things on the house
10:18
side they’re extraordinarily aggressive
10:20
really going after this and yet on the
10:22
Republican side we have these people
10:24
like Jeff Sessions who are just sort of
10:26
you know meek and mild and cowardly and
10:28
not really willing to stand up and I
10:30
think that’s essentially that part of
10:31
the reason while we find ourselves in
10:33
the screwball position politically today
10:35
are those people like Jeff Sessions who
10:38
just aren’t really able to stand up and
10:40
defend kind of the other side and make
10:43
arguments the other way and they’re just
10:45
pray to the press afraid of the
10:46
Democrats afraid of everything and so
10:48
those those people that rise up through
10:50
the ranks for the Republicans are guys
10:52
like that so I think I think that really
10:54
is an indicator just have the depth of
10:57
the overall problem that we have in our
10:59
political system today the Republicans
11:02
are a bunch of wussies that are bullied
11:04
and the Democrats are a bunch of
11:05
ideologue wackos that that are perfectly
11:08
willing to destroy the United States of
11:10
America its economy if it lets them
11:12
defeat a political enemy so it’s a it’s
11:14
a screwed up backwards strange thing but
11:16
this general fling case is a fabulous
11:20
step forward if those guys are
11:22
criminally charged and are convicted
11:24
that also completely opens the door for
11:28
general Flynn in civilian court in the
11:30
United States separate things the
11:32
criminal case would be the state against
11:34
those individuals that perpetrated a
11:36
fraud by going after Flynn they get
11:39
convicted
11:39
by any way shape or form then he’s got
11:42
that criminal complaint the the
11:45
conviction and he can use that in
11:47
civilian court to sue the pants off all
11:49
those guys which I think that would be
11:51
true justice in life since he was
11:53
financially completely destroyed lost
11:55
his house lost everything every penny he
11:57
had I think it would only be justice
11:59
that he regains all of that from those
12:01
guys that unfairly persecuted him well
12:04
in the lost time and lost opportunity
12:08
and reputational damage and the gray
12:11
hair and all that yes well I’d say I
12:13
think he deserves he deserves a lot not
12:16
just money he definitely should see some
12:18
of the people who did what they did to
12:20
him in the place that they were trying
12:23
to put in but what do you think in terms
12:26
of it could this be sort of the first
12:30
snowball on the avalanche that starts to
12:33
bring down this whole coup this whole
12:36
deep state attempt to overthrow a
12:39
sitting president it could be and it
12:43
always boils down to the question and we
12:45
talked about this in a previous
12:46
interview but it always always boils
12:49
down to the question and it and this is
12:51
unfortunate but it will US attorney
12:55
general bar be up to the situation and
12:58
follow through and prosecute these
13:01
people who have broken the law will he
13:04
do it and I think this is the first case
13:06
will there be indictments out of this
13:08
for what those people did and also a
13:11
very important factor and I think
13:13
another big loser out of this case that
13:15
nobody’s focused on is the current FBI
13:19
director ray again a guy who’s done
13:24
absolutely nothing and what what I know
13:27
what he thinks he’s doing and he’s
13:29
talked about this publicly what he
13:31
thinks he’s doing is protecting the
13:33
reputation of the FBI so he’s trying to
13:36
keep a lid on all this scandal thinking
13:39
that that is what protects the
13:41
reputation of the FBI that is absolutely
13:44
wrong that’s moronic it’s one of it’s a
13:46
stupid stupid thing for this man to be
13:48
saying clearly Christopher ray is
13:51
completely over his head as director of
13:53
the FBI this is a situation it’s way
13:56
past the stage of keeping a lid on it
13:59
tamping it down covering it up to save
14:01
the reputation of the FBI if you want to
14:03
save the reputation of the FBI at this
14:05
point you get out the bad apples the the
14:09
dirty cops that are there got to go got
14:12
to go to jail got to pay the price
14:14
everybody has to have to see that just
14:17
because you’re an FBI it doesn’t mean
14:20
you’re invulnerable to the law that you
14:22
don’t have to pay the price if you’re a
14:23
dirty cop that’s how you save the
14:26
reputation of the FBI it’s way too late
14:28
for what he’s doing what he’s been doing
14:30
and it’s time for Christopher ray to
14:31
resign an absolute disgrace before he’s
14:35
fired it seems to me that all they all
14:38
these agencies who have these sorts of
14:40
things going on include the RCMP in this
14:42
need to just come clean about what they
14:44
did if they ever want the public trust
14:46
back yeah now the individuals who are
14:50
guilty will never do it I mean if you’re
14:51
guilty what are you gonna say oh oh ye
[/expander_maker]
