Stop the presses. Did you just say that Biden and Obama won't be charged? Well then who the fuck is going to be charged for Flynn getting fired because he lied to Pence?

Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
Y’all?
I’ve been asserting that the FBI went out of its way to target a Presidential campaign advisor based on a debunked dossier, and cooked the books to obtain warrants to spy on a US citizen
If that’s Obamagate, then whatever. I don’t care. But LE malfeasance needs to be reined in no matter who it happens to. A surprising number of people like you sure do seem to disagree with that. Odd

Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
Flynn was a foreign agent while on Trump's transition team and while he was NSA. Suspicions of Flynn were not based solely on the dossier.
In fact, one event that prompted an unmasking of Flynn was a meeting with the UAE crown prince at Trump Tower. The UAE crown prince entered the US for that meeting and didn't alert US diplomats as is protocol. They were curious why he was in the US. Not a wild reason to unmask someone, imo.
If he didn't plead guilty and testify against his partner, he would have been hit with those charges as well. I'm assuming you don't deny he was acting as a foreign agent during this time but suspect you might use the fact that he wasn't charged with FARA to argue he wasn't.

None of this grasping at straws you posted has anything at all to do with Russian interference with the election, AND none of it was used to obtain the continuing FISA warrants. The FISA court has barred the involved agents from seeking warrants now, based on their activities because they misrepresented their requests, and that is solely because of their reliance on the dossier and the omission of key information about it.
All of this has been about Kislyak and now suddenly you’re backpedaling all over the place with so many straw men it is hard to keep up.
I’d be perfectly fine with them going after Flynn with FARA. That would be the more appropriate path and they wouldn’t have had to cook the books to do it.
BTW your second paragraph is tripe. There in NO requirement under that circumstance that the State Dept be alerted to a meeting like that, especially if Trump is not yet President. Did you just make that shit up, or are you parroting what some wounded dip said to the media about it? And no, it is not appropriate to unmask and incoming NSA simply because he’s meeting with foreign dignitaries. It has been happening with every admin for forever and now suddenly it’s a big deal? Is there some nexus between Flynn meeting the Crown Prince and a counterintelligence concern? Completely inappropriate.

Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
I was talking about Flynn and unmasking.
There was no FISA for Flynn. I wasn't talking about FISA.
The UAE crown prince entered the US for a meeting. They wanted to know why and who he was meeting with. Seems reasonable.

The dossier was the cornerstone of Crossfire Hurricane so no, you don’t get to parse them apart to suit your revisionist fever dreams
And regardless of whether it seems reasonable to you, Reek, is immaterial. You made a couple claims in there that you either made up or you were fed.
And BTW they absolutely knew who Flynn was prior to the unmasking. Maybe you should ask yourself who the audience was after reviewing the unmasking process because you obviously do not understand it
Reminds me of that time you insisted that the Foreign Service was unionized

I don’t debate my eight year old and I’m not going down this desperate rabbit hole with with you. If there’s no dossier, then there’s no Crossfire Hurricane and subsequently there is no attempt to generate a leverage crime over an incoming member of a Presidential administration.
I’m also not searching up that thread - you know good and well the debate we had when you claimed that AFSA was the FS bargaining unit and the FS was unionized
Maybe you’ve blocked it out which would be understandable

On March 7, 2017, FLYNN filed multiple documents with the Department of
Justice pursuant to the Foreign Agents Registration Act ("FARA") pertaining to a project
performed by him and his company, the Flynn Intel Group, Inc. ("FIG"), for the principal benefit
of the Republic of Turkey ("Turkey project"). In the FARA filings, FLYNN made materially

project was focused on improving U.S. business organizations' confidence regarding doing
business in Turkey, and (c) an op-ed by FLYNN published in The Hill on November 8, 2016,
was written at his own initiative; and by omitting that officials from the Republic of Turkey
provided supervision and direction over the Turkey project.

In a few weeks it will be about how it isn’t customary or legit for incoming natsec advisors to talk to foreign contacts before being seated

And we made a move a serious as sanctioning the Russians just so we wouldn't have to "unmask" Flynn. When we already knew his loyalty was suspect. I'm sorry hope there is more to your sales pitch than that. Why did Obama hire him in the first place anyway?
