    1. The party that told us all during Obama’s tenure they had morals, respect for law and order and loved the constitution has from day one of Donnie bashed the men and women who work the FBI. Demoralizing and eventually this will lead to a crisis in the country where agents doubted their own intelligence.

    2. The Blade the intelligence that depended on Crowd Strike paid for by the DNC to analyze the DNC server. Is that the intelligence you are talking about. Or is it Adam Schiff interviewing the president of Crowd Strike and him saying there is no direct evidence the Russians hacked anything. Is that the evidence you are talking about. Yeah conspiracy alright! You are clearly as sharp as a cotton ball.

    3. @Casey Cowley And the blade is just another fake news outlet like Breitbart and the National Enquirer.

    4. Mike Meade how long did they drag that impeachment on for? Wasn’t the impeachment front page when covid should’ve been? Jus saying, the dnc is absurd and hypocritical too.

    1. @arnold jayeola Centrist must be another name for Trumpist. Is there anything you think Trump could do better? Do you have any criticisms of him?

    2. @NavyVet Jesus! Catch up Navyvet. With the utmost respect to you being a vet, (thank you for your service!) but that point has been looked at over and over and over again. It’s another NOTHING-BURGER!
      Honestly, they’ve had all this time to try and gather everything, anything, ANY bit of evidence, that would help them this to at least a probe? trial? But nothing. I think House Rep, Devin Nunes was barking up a very dangerous tree!
      He was ready to get bit by the dog himself….That man is dirty!

    3. With so many people asking for it to be released, including Republican Senator’s, one would think it might get released. But if Barr has anything to say about it, there’s a possibility the tape has most likely been destroyed!! I’m interested in U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan’s order for the government to also provide a public transcript of a November 2017 voice mail involving Flynn. In that sensitive call, President Trump’s attorney left a message for Flynn’s attorney reminding him of the president’s fondness for Flynn at a time when Flynn was considering cooperating with federal investigators!!
      WOOOOOOOF!! 😲

      Homegirl I have an advanced degree from a major university and I am fairly well read and informed. And I I don’t make a statement without having the evidence to back it up. So don’t go there sister. .
      This is one of the fake news networks that pushed the fake RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA FAKE HOAX. And you continue to rely on them you low information fake news parrot. And why do you live in a country you hate? Hypocrite fraud.

      Homegirl I have an advanced degree from a major university and I am fairly well read and informed so don’t go there low information brainwashed parrot. There are about 200 countries on the planet, why do you live in a country you hate?

  1. Spin spin spin spin….I’m surprised these people can live with themselves…..actually no I’m not..

    1. I agree. Trump and his team of thieving liars always try to spin the facts with their pathetic conspiracy theories.

    1. Just more spin and distraction,. He lied to the FBI full stop. How much money did the Russians and Turks pay Flynn?

    1. Because he should have been which is normal for any us citizen that is recorded by the cia or nsa.

    2. Yes the investigators did not mask flynn. It was assumed he was. Apparently he didn’t have to be because it wasn’t the fbi who intercepted the call to the russian.
      Other agencies do not have to mask the person.

  2. Lol…ok, and so when people start going to jail for the unmaskings I guess we shouldn’t believe it’s happening.😂👌

    1. Unmasking is a standard procedure that is done thousands of times a year.
      This is not a criminal act.

    2. @David Campbell Trump and his deranged supporters will believe anything that makes BHO’s Administration criminal, regardless of the facts.

    1. Every American is masked you dummies! No one American citizen needs to go get masked so you couldn’t just send cia or fbi to spy on person.

    1. Purgery trap , if you answer a question one way , when they ask you the same question and you leave out words or you didn’t use the same words used in your first answer , you’re charged with lying .

    2. I as a conservativeI think that meeting was attended to get dirt on Hillary. It turned out they didn’t have it. I think Hillary paid for false information on Trump that helped kickstart the spying on americans to bring Trump down. Am I wrong or the only saine person here?

    3. @Doug Hilton So Hillary planned for the possibility that she was going to lose the election and kept the Russia investigation as an ace in the hole to get Trump impeached? Because she nor any other official used what was known behind the scenes about Trump’s team meeting with Russians during the campaign. I know Hillary called Trump a Russian puppet during one of the debates, but that seems tactful and not a campaign to keep Trump out of the Whitehouse. And by the way, the investigation that employed Christopher Steele to look into Trump and Russia was started by Republicans.

  3. Flynn declared himself as guilty of charge, to being with, now take this into account Trump is going after his own FBI Agency and meanwhile the DOJ is just being used by Trump’s as his own personal attorney .

    1. Yep, you got it. I’m a pretty neutral observer on these arguments and it is disconcerting to observe what is happening right before our eyes. All administrations are self serving, but this one has pulled some egregious moves. All this does is informs me on how to vote.

  4. “Turns Out Michael Flynn Was Never ‘Masked’ To Begin With” so that the Obamagate conspiracy theory, which centered on the unmasking of Gen. Flynn, falls apart.

    1. @Bono Budju that’s just not true just wait and see it’s just another job for wray to cover up for his minion’s

    2. @Denise Wright OK then you just ignore all of Trumps and Barrs appointees and investigations which have found nothing which is why the IGs are being fired, how dare they do their jobs. I encourage you though to follow all of Trumps advice, including medical advice, what have you got to lose.

    3. Heart doc Andrew dig a little more on how the Obama team got his name without actually calling for an unmasking.

    4. @artocin gerbub some people hate Our President so much that thier brains are empty!! Sad to say. The evidence on the left is going to blow thier minds next year.

  5. Our anonymous source says it was perfectly legal – he is remaining anonymous to protect himself.
