Media Claims Trump Knew Gen Flynn Was A Foreign Agent, But Ignores John Podesta Is One

[tinydancer]

Chris Wallace this morning claims that Michael Flynn has registered as a foreign lobbyist for Turkey and that Trump should have known something about it. The only people that say this is true is fake news purveyors CNN and the like. Maybe they feel they can get score some political points off of the story. But it's a bit strange that they've been looking the other way for the last 8 years and now after months of revelations of Hillary taking massive amounts of cash from foreign countries for speeches, supposedly a fired former employee of Trumps is doing now is worse.

They are just mad that Trump got rid of him before the press found out about it....they are pissed. If Flynn had stayed on till this came out they could have roasted Trump...but Flynn is gone, and it is hard to push this story when Flynn was pushed out weeks ago.........

All of this underscores the quite obvious fact that whatever the Dem-Progs are busy accusing Trump and Conservatives of doing, they either have done themselves or plan to do if they regain power.

Democrats criminalize everything. How dare anyone from the Trump administration talk to foreign diplomats. They must be up to something nefarious.

Mudwhistle, if Hillary were in office I am sure we would be getting slammed about everything just like Obama was..

Flynn was wrong and Sessions lied under oath..

These connections are surfacing about Russia

Roger Stone Admits he has had contact with Russian Hacker today ( Trumps campaign Adviser )

Sessions did not lie under oath.....saying he did is the lie.

Lies are all the left has anymore. It's incredible. They just blatantly lie.

How the heck can the Trump defenders accuse others of being prolific liars. Republicans with Trump in the lead have become globally and indisputably the largest and most prolific liars in American political history.
Sessions did lie under oath. Saying he did not is the lie. At best, it might be allowed that what he did was not perjury, but he absolutely tried to mislead everyone. Senators can not be charged with perjury if they perjure themselves in the Senate while doing official Senate duties. Lucky for Sessions for that corrupt protection afforded to him as a Senator.

Sessions was being questioned by both Franken and Leahy clearly about his campaign role and meeting with any Russians as a surrogate.

And he met with no Russians as a surrogate.

On the other hand it's been discovered that the Podesta's have worked for many governments even while John was in the White House and are not registered as foreign agents.

They need to be investigated thoroughly.

"When Tony sent the email, John was a top adviser to President Barack Obama, helping to steer White House energy and environmental policy. He left the post the following month, then formally joined the Clinton campaign when it formed in April.

"This communication should have been filed on the FARA Supplemental as a communication from a registered agent to a covered government official seeking action on behalf of a foreign principal," according to Craig Engle, a partner at DC law firm Arent Fox and the founder of the firm's political law practice.

Engle said in an email that the familial relationship between the Podestas did not excuse the Podesta Group from its disclosure requirements.

"FARA supplemental reporting is designed to capture communications like these seemingly innocuous emails between family members—especially if one member of the family helps run the White House," Engle wrote."

Why don't you post the actual transcript, Liar?

. Anyone can just read something, but can they interpret it correctly ? Seems the liberals have a problem with that one or they are purposely mis-interpreting the words to make it appear as something sinister when there was nothing there.

The media is trying to make a big deal about Michael Flynn, who was fired by Trump last month, being a Turkish agent, but totally ignores the fact that Hillary Clintons campaign chairman has been a foreign agent for years.

I guess this is another example of the left telling everyone do as I say, not as I do.

Hillary Clinton, the Podesta Group and the Saudi Regime: A Fatal Menage a Trois

by Medea Benjamin

If I told you that Democratic Party lobbyist Tony Podesta, whose brother John Podesta chairs Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, is a registered foreign agent on the Saudi government’s payroll, you’d probably think I was a Trump-thumping, conspiratorial nutcase. But it’s true.

The lobby firm created by both Tony and John Podesta in 1988 receives $140,000 a month from the Saudi government, a government that beheads nonviolent dissidents, uses torture to extract forced confessions, doesn’t allow women to drive, and bombs schools, hospitals and residential neighborhoods in neighboring Yemen.

The Podesta Group’s March 2016 filing, required under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, shows that Tony Podesta himself oversees the Saudi account. At the same time, Tony Podesta is also a top campaign contributor and bundler for Hillary Clinton. So while one brother runs the campaign, the other brother funds it with earnings that come, in part, from the Saudis.

John and Tony Podesta have been heavyweights in DC insider politics for decades. John Podesta served as President Bill Clinton’s chief of staff, founded the influential DC think tank Center for American Progress (which regularly touts Saudi “reforms”), and was counselor to President Obama. Tony Podesta was dubbed by The New York Times as “one of Washington’s biggest players” whose clients “are going to get a blueprint for how to succeed in official Washington.”

The brothers seem to have no problem mixing their roles into the same pot. Tony Podesta held a Clinton campaign fundraiser at his home featuring gourmet Italian food cooked by himself and his brother, the campaign chairman. The fundraiser, by the way, came just days after Tony Podesta filed his Saudi contract with the Justice Department, a contract that included an initial “project fee” payment of $200,000.

The Saudis hired the Podesta Group in 2015 because it was getting hammered in the press over civilian casualties from its airstrikes in Yemen and its crackdown on political dissidents at home, including sentencing blogger Raif Badawi to ten years in prison and 1,000 lashes for “insulting Islam.” Since then, Tony Podesta’s fingerprints have been all over Saudi Arabia’s advocacy efforts in Washington DC. When Saudi Arabia executed the prominent nonviolent Shia dissident Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, causing protests throughout the Shia world and inflaming sectarian divisions, The New York Times noted that the Podesta Group provided the newspaper with a Saudi commentator who defended the execution.​

So you have the Podestas working for the Russians and this isn't making screaming headlines.

Amazing.

What's amazing is your lack of reasoning and lack of sagacious thinking.

Notice how the democrats are now backing away from the Russian problem....if there is an investigation....it may very well lead them to the clinton foundation and obama surveilling the rival party during an election.....

Ruh Roh shaggy....

Blog: It’s official: Dems just had their ‘Oh [censored]! moment on investigating Russian connections to their side

All of a sudden, the Democrats wish they had never opened the door to investigating Russia’s political influence buying. They had been warned by Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone not to go there, that it was a “minefield.” Uranium One, The Podesta Group, and much more. See Taibbi and this, too.

And even James Clapper is saying that there is no evidence of any recruiting of Trump campaign officials by Russians.

So now we watch the Dems extract themselves from this mess they created in their fevered efforts to blame Hillary’s loss to Trump on something evil that could damage Trump so badly as to force him from office. The Hill:

Dems threaten to pull support if Russia probe not 'legitimate'
Some Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee are threatening to pull support from the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election if it is not conducted in a "legitimate" manner.

"I'm not going to be part of a dog-and-pony show that is not a serious effort to do an investigation, because this is really serious,” said Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), according to The New York Times.

“If it’s not a legitimate and comprehensive and in-depth investigation, why would we be party to it?” she added.

“Most of us would agree that there’s no way we’re participating in any form of cover-up or whitewash, so we will walk away if the moment requires,” said Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) while adding that “we’re certainly not there yet.”

Clarice Feldman, as usual, sums it up better than anyone else: “Translation: we are sorry we opened this can of worms and would like for the whole thing to go away.”

Flynn lying to Pence was okay by your moral values? Flynn's meeting may not have been criminal, but is was not transparent! A reasonable person asks questions when such a clandestine meeting takes place. I'm not surprised by your lack of curiosity - no one would ever consider you reasonable.

Flynn lying to Pence wasn't okay.
Next stupid question.

I'm curious about alot of things. Like why this sort of thing only matters when it's a Republican doing it.

"Sort of thing"? Can you give another example of another National Security Advisor to a President that worked for pay for a foreign government and or their officials?

Wait a minute. Flynn isn't working for Trump. He was fired.

BTW, I wonder why Obama paid $9.2 billion dollars to Iran to help them pay for terrorism?
Susan Rice is an advocate for Hamas.
Valarie Jarrett was born in Iran and is a closet Muslim.
Huma Abedin's parents are members of the Muslim Brotherhood and is an advocate for Muslim refugees and is a Muslim.
Former CIA director John Brennan was a closet Muslim, was Obama's primary advisor on counter-intelligence, as well as is the primary reason we've had all of these leaks. While he was CIA director they hacked into the computers of US Senators and released intelligence on CIA torture to the public.

Good God you people's priorities are extremely out of wack with reality!!!

Get your facts straight:

Why the U.S. Owed Iran That $400 Million

Or not, and continue to lie.

I don't give a flying fuck what the Iranians say we owed them.
Those cocksuckers took our diplomats hostage and were responsible for the deaths of thousands of our troops in Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

And no one with any sense and knowledge of current events and history cares not for your biased opinions.

Hillary was allowed to run for president even though she was caught committing espionage, and you libs say she did nothing wrong.
However, every Democrat that screams about Trump talking to Russia has talked to Russia themselves. Obama himself was trying to scrap our nukes and made it known to them that he would wait till after he was re-elected to do it. That's about as criminal as you can get.

The Big Deal involving Trump and The Russians was when Trump sold a house in FL to some rich Russian Oligarch for $95M...in 2008. The Loons will never openly acknowledge that.

Obabble sent them far more than that, and much of it in fungible cash.


The U.S. State Department announced the government had agreed to pay Iran $1.7 billion to settle a case related to the sale of military equipment prior to the Iranian revolution, according to a statement issued on Sunday.
Iran had set up a $400 million trust fund for such purchases, which was frozen along with diplomatic relations in 1979. In settling the claim, which had been tied up at the Hague Tribunal since 1981, the U.S. is returning the money in the fund along with "a roughly $1.3 billion compromise on the interest," the statement said.

[Franken: Okay. CNN has just published a story, and I’m telling you this about a news story that’s just been published. I’m not expecting you to know whether or not it’s true or not. But CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week that included information that, quote, “Russian operatives claimed to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.” These documents also allegedly say, quote, “There was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump’s surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.” Now, again, I’m telling you this as it’s coming out, so you know. But if it’s true, it’s obviously extremely serious, and if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?
