When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal

The Insurance Policy; (sorry! Updated with link)

It is a violation of FBI policy to open a counterintelligence case file on a US Person with no present intention to conduct a counterintelligence investigation of the US Person. It might even be a crime.
 
And yet that is exactly what Special Agent Barnett says FBI Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Peter Strzok did with regard to General Michael Flynn, decorated U.S. war hero.

    1. I did the Construction/Renovation course at St. Lawrence College in Kingston in 1986 to do total renovations from foundations, carpentry, plumbing and electrical, as the bylaws changed that certified, and license trades were being generated which destroyed my business. Got into loghomes with a chainsaw after that.

    2. Homelessness is of great benefit to politicians, bureaucrats, and bureaucracies; so their policies will always create more.

      Look at California. Solving problems is not job security. Proliferation of problems, is.

    1. When I hear that, I love to point out the the Central Park 5 all pleaded quilty too.

      Watching their faces when you do this is hysterical

    2. Of course the left never admits the part that Mueller and his gang of Democrat lawyer thugs directly threatened to investigate & indict Flynn’s son. Sundance exposed this a long time ago but I believe it’s gotten very little MSM coverage, if any. Typical of the “two minutes Trump hate” media.

      Any decent father would fall on his sword to protect his son. Even if he weren’t guilty of anything himself, as we now know for certain about Flynn.

  1. Which, now that he changes that plea, is an admission of perjury,, according to idiots who cant accept the obvious, that he plead guilty to stop the torture, and threats to his son..

    You cant reason with crazy,,

  2. Crimes are only committed by “extreme right wingers” … right? And “extreme right wingers” are EVERY conservative from a RINO to a Trump enthusiast.

  3. Seems to me ,Conservatives deserve exactly what they are getting.

    Should have learned in grade school that bullies have to be stood up to.

    If you don’t want to fight back, stop your whining and take your lumps like cowards always do.

    VOWG calls Canadians stupid.

    I say cowards is a much more accurate description.

  4. Michael Flynn’s mistakes were
    A. Thinking he was a team member.
    B. Thinking he was dealing with honorable people.
    He wasn’t
    and
    He wasn’t.

  5. Sept 2 1945 Second World War ends.
    November 20 1945 Nuremberg Trials begin.
    October 1 1946 Nuremberg Trials end.

    January 20 2017 United States President Donald J Trump Inauguration
    November 30 2017 Michael Flynn Indictment “falsely stated and represented to agents of the FBI”
    September 28 2020 The FBI are lying scum…

  6. Stone can be framed, arrested, and look at spending jail time but this scum has not been yet? How is that even possible? Well…..we already know – America is a failed state and Western civilization is failing right before our very eyes.

    NO ONE on their side ever has their door kicked in at 400am. Its always, “wait, its coming”, or “just building a case”, or “drip drip drip” in the face of overwhelming evidence. Why?! Who is POTUS again?! Who is running the Senate again? The DOJ? Cabinet?

    What the hell is Barr doing? He’s a fraud. Trump can’t fix this. Only 10 Trump’s in succession can fix this and that will NEVER happen, will never be allowed to.

    Its over. That is a bice Republic youbhave there. Its a shame what was allowed to happen, History DOES repeat itself. And no one EVER learns from it.

  7. You know what? I’m so goddamned sick of this.

    Conservatives have shown that they’ll simply whine while going along whatever laws their leftist overlords put in place for them. The left has completely subverted the system. If you defend yourself from the mob you’ll be thrown in jail. And what are conservatives doing about it? Memeing and pretending to be outraged online. That’s it.

    If the right were going to do something it would have happened already. Get ready for communism, because it’s coming, and it’s going to happen so fast it’ll make your head spin.

    You’ll be powerless to stop it. Corporate America, including Big Tech, is 100% on board with the radical left’s vision for the future. You can’t organize a counter-revolution when your phone and internet connections get shut off, your bank accounts get closed, and your credit cards get cancelled. The left controls the important stuff. They don’t need guns.

    As you know all too well, the idea that communists wait until they have majority support to begin their revolutions is simply not true. How many people did Castro and Guevara arrive in Cuba with? 60? 100? And maybe a couple thousand sympathizers sprinkled around the island? And they were successful.
    Anyone who thinks this is just a small group of fringe radicals who will get tired and go home needs to brush up on recent history

    A scattered, disorganized force in rural areas isn’t going to hold this country. Again, the left is in control of most of the systems of importance. How are you going to communicate with other patriots to muster up anything more than a band of raiders when Big Tech and telecom completely shut you out? How are you going to get anywhere when you can’t buy gas or food with your cancelled credit cards?

    I’m just trying to get conservatives to think really deeply about the speed at which they’re losing their country. I mean, obviously there’s an election, so everybody’s in “wait and see” mode. But the election isn’t really going to solve anything. The left is going to claim victory no matter what, and Big Tech is going to come down on conservatives like a ton of bricks, in order to squash anything that counters their narrative. The left is 50 moves ahead of the right. Conservatives need to open their eyes. Guns alone won’t win the battle ahead.

    The world is a vastly different place than it was even twenty years ago. Again, you can’t organize a cohesive resistance if you can’t communicate, and nobody in 2020 communicates without the internet or a cell phone. If any kind of conflict pops off, conservatives are getting locked out. Then what?

    And assuming that the military will side with patriots is wishful thinking. Maybe they would, but blindly counting on it would be a serious miscalculation. Most of the top brass in the military don’t like Trump. They’re going to side with the Deep State. It sucks, but it’s true.
    And sneaking around in the jungle in 1970 is a bit different than trying to do anything in 2020 with satellites, and drones with thermal cameras, and a million other sophisticated sensors. The American military would snuff out any kind of uprising –left or right– in a heartbeat. Everything you do is monitored. Everything. There are no secrets in 2020.

    You’ve been out in the boonies too long. You know who’s leaving San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Seattle and Portland? Progressives. And they’re turning places like Texas and Florida blue. Thinking that you can just sit back ride things out in the middle of nowhere with some guns isn’t just ridiculous, it’s pathetic.

    We’ve been conditioned. It’s called “Learned Helplessness”. When a conservative defends his or her property, or acts in self defense, they end up getting arrested while the perpetrator goes free. As such, most conservatives have been conditioned not to do anything.

    The point is to get you and others to think beyond simply owning a gun. Without a phone, the internet, and a bank account/credit cards you’re not going to be doing much more than roaming around your neighborhood with a few of your neighbors. The left is lightyears ahead of the right in terms of its ability to organize.

    1. “Learned helplessness” is accurate to a degree, along with don’t rock the boat as I have mine and don’t care if anyone else gets anything. The left have been pushing for over 100 years while we have sat on our asses and accepted it.

    2. “Get ready for communism, because it’s coming, and it’s going to happen so fast it’ll make your head spin.”

      I fear you’re exactly right. It’ll be a “dressed up” version of communism, to be sure, but it’ll be effectively communism in all but name. Some kind of 1984-like state where the government and corporate / tech oligarchs run everything, and ordinary citizens are powerless.

      As much as I hold out hope that Trump is going to pull out a win, I refuse to ignore all of the polls. Biden’s winning. He’s winning because he’s a placeholder, a generic (D), and nothing more. That’s all he has to be. The Trump hate burns far, far hotter than even the Bush hate burned, and it’s going to drive (D) voters to the polls. And the (D) side will cheat, and cheat rampantly. And the Decepticon (R) party will not stop them, because they hate Trump too and want him gone. They want to return to the “good ol days” of selling America out to China piece by piece, and Trump is in their way.

      Biden will resign, at most, 731 days into his term (the job will simply kill him otherwise, and he’s mentally unfit for it, and everyone around him must know it), and Harris will be the one running for reelection in 2024, up against an “approved” (R) candidate who will be just another flavour of commie-lite, Chinese sellout.

      God help us all. I think we are staring down the imminent end of the American republic as we knew it. What replaces it will be .. something else. Something that will not be good for anyone in the world.

    3. Agreed on all points except that you seem to think that USA is still a constitutional republic which has not been the case since the coup of 1963.

  8. I wish somebody writes a book on all this later.

    From this what I get is this: Flynn was ‘investigated’ with the faintest of suspicions and no evidence of wrongdoing for the purpose of having a file open on him after the election, so that he could be spied and an investigation activated after the election if Trump won. After they didn’t find him guilty on anything, they just made up charges and extorted a plea deal to get him co-operative, to get Trump administration look bad, and to tell everything he knows – because they thought Flynn would surely know *something* that is bad for Trump.

    That failed, but due to some widespread corruption of the justice system, Flynn ended up having a politically biased prosecutor and a politically biased judge, both of which were willing to put Flynn into jail from the pled crime of lying to FBI, presumably not because Flynn ever even lied, but because he was working for the president they hated for.

  9. I have to admit that when those FBI agents were texting eachother about “an insurance policy,” in case Trump was elected, I NEVER expected it to literally be an insurance policy.

    1. It wasn’t an Ordinary “Errors & Omissions” professional Policy…. Could have been a “Lloyd’s of London” designed coverage for criminal acts….only triggered if charged & convicted.. COST BEYOND REASON…..

  10. This is nasty question but here goes. Just who would you be willing to kill to keep YOUR freedom? Freedom always comes at a price that always involves the letting of blood. The US civil war is an example that many, well not many, those with a brain bigger than a flea can understand. Where brother fought against brother, families against families. When I say something I am quite often being sarcastic or factitious, but we, America and Canada are coming down to the short strokes as it were and it will not be pleasurable.
