CIA Broke The Law To Take Out Its Critic General Flynn

By Thomas Lifson ~ February 14, 2017 ~ American Thinker

Make no mistake: we have just witnessed an operation by members of the CIA to take out a high official of our own government. An agency widely believed to have brought down democratically elected governments overseas is now practicing the same dark arts in domestic American politics. Almost certainly, its new head, Mike Pompeo, was not consulted.

Senator Chuck Schumer, of all people, laid out on January 2 what was going to happen to the Trump administration if it dared take on the deep state – the permanent bureaucracy that has contempt for the will of the voters and feels entitled to run the government for its own benefit:

New Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump is "being really dumb" by taking on the intelligence community and its assessments on Russia's cyber activities.

"Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you," Schumer told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.

"So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he's being really dumb to do this."

Or, as the old rueful saying has it, "you've got to go along to get along." This means that we the people had better acknowledge that the bureaucrats have turned into our masters, and the old expression "public servant" is as ironic as anything Orwell came up with. Schumer knows this and likes it, because the deep state wants a bigger, more powerful government, just as he does.

Note that the law was broken by whoever leaked the transcripts to the media. Not only is the crime underlying the "scandal" being ignored, but the criminals are being hailed. On Morning Joe's first hour today, the host, a former congressman (i.e., a lawmaker) himself, called the leakers "heroes."

This interference in domestic politics by the CIA should be regarded as a major threat to our democracy, but of course our Trump-hating domestic media are reveling in a major point scored against the new president.

David P. Goldman (aka Spengler), writing on PJ Media, explains the level of hatred the CIA has for Flynn for daring to take on its spectacular failures:

… the CIA has gone out of its way to sandbag Flynn at the National Security Council. As Politico reports: "On Friday, one of Flynn's closest deputies on the NSC, senior director for Africa Robin Townley, was informed that the Central Intelligence Agency had rejected his request for an elite security clearance required for service on the NSC, according to two people with direct knowledge of the situation." Townley held precisely the same security clearance at the Department of Defense for seventeen years, yet he was blackballed without explanation. At DoD, Townley had a stellar reputation as a Middle East and Africa expert, and the denial of his clearance is hard to explain except as bureaucratic backstabbing.

... Gen. Flynn is the hardest of hardliners with respect to Russia within the Trump camp. In his 2016 book Field of Fight (co-authored with PJ Media's Michael Ledeen), Flynn warned of "an international alliance of evil movements and countries that is working to destroy us[.] ... The war is on. We face a working coalition that extends from North Korea and China to Russia, Iran, Syria, Syria, Cuba, Bolivia, Venezuela and Nicaragua." The unsubstantiated allegation that he presides over a "leaky" National Security Council tilting towards Russia makes no sense. The only leaks of which we know are politically motivated reports coming from the intelligence community designed to disrupt the normal workings of a democratic government – something that raises grave constitutional issues.

Flynn is the one senior U.S. intelligence officer with the guts to blow the whistle on a series of catastrophic intelligence and operational failures. The available facts point to the conclusion that elements of the humiliated (and perhaps soon-to-be-unemployed) intelligence community is trying to exact vengeance against a principled and patriotic officer[.] ... The present affair stinks like a dumpster full of dead rats.

Trump should call Mike Pompeo in and tell him that he will have either a list of the people leaking the info on Flynn's call, or Pompeo's resignation on his desk by Friday. If he gets the list, then prosecute the treasonous bastards. If the CIA can't find the Flynn leaks in two days, they aren't capable of doing the job they claim to be doing.

Trooper745-Might be somewhat premature to task Pompeo in that fashion. Believe the suspected leakers should be
given polygraphs and those who refuse are probably the guilty ones. Pompeo should be tasked but given a little
more time to identify which part of the Swamp he needs to drain first. Remember that these people will protect each
other and will have to be ferreted out which could take a while. America First!!!

My sentiments exactly. How to stop it is the big question. It's like a catch 22.

We need to speak out and save General Flynn. What's happening is not only un-Constitutional, illegal but irreligious. It is ,and has been, my feeling that Gen. Flynn was forced out by the Obama administration because he was exposing things that Obama didn't want exposed. Obama's plan to tear down America is still in the works. We need the courage of Gen. Flynn now as much as ever.

No doubt about it. Obammy is still going to do anything and everything he can to take US down. Flynn was set up and I doubt very much if the CIA is done with their anti American ways either. There's a very thin line between them and who they will have killed.

About as thin as the line between genius and insanity. There may be an insanity contagion running around. Can't believe this madness is going on here in this country.
But we must keep fighting with Trump. As we all know (except a few on here), he is our last, best hope. I'm going to believe that he will exonerate Flynn.
