I saw Andrew McCarthy from NR has one, "Ball of Collusion" and Dan Bongino has a couple on the topic. Anybody else? I've already read the related books by Gregg Jarrett.

I would think Flynn would have a book in the near future. He needs the money (lawsuits will take a while) and he has a tremendous story to tell. I hope he comes out with one soon.ccaggie05 said:

Flynn is a bookend to the activities of a President who had Democrats audit Joe The Plumber in Ohio simply because the man dared challenge the Democrat Party in general and Obama's tax policy in particular.
Obama had a Marxist viewpoint in his policy approaches and a Stalinist paradigm towards opposition.
I am fully convinced that the things done to Trump in terms of surveillance were done in a much more subtle form to the Romney Campaign in 2012. With the success of that operation, Obama and company grew more bold and expanded their operation with a goal towards ensuring an extension of his policy approaches through Hillary Clinton.
In their success and arrogance, they grew increasingly convinced that they could never be caught.
Despite all the degrees on the wall, liberals lack common sense, intelligence, and critical thinking. They have been brain washed into supporting a corrupt party rapidly shifting towards communism that is full of truly evil people.wyoag93 said:
Liberals have accused conservatives of blindly following Trump, despite all the unverified "evidence" that linked Trump to Russia. Now there is verified evidence that the intelligence community was corrupt and it points directly to the Obama administration...yet Liberals continue to blindly support their savior...Obama. ****ing hypocrites.

I've always viewed Romney that way. He was the worst possible candidate to select because of his healthcare actions in Massachusetts.BuddysBud said:Stlkofta said:

This could explain why Romney has become a RINO. They probably found dirt on him that he doesn't want exposed.
I wonder how much we'll ever learn about FISA-702 'to-from' query on US persons that Rogers shut down in April 2016. This story has almost disappeared from the news cycle. Still boggles my mind how corrupt this practice likely evolved during the Obama admin. Likely a much bigger scandal than everything we know about Obamagate to date.aggiehawg said:
Very long article about Spygate but gives some details about how 702 queries work that are of interest.

I've said before and believe 100% that every Supreme Court Justice, every federal judge, and every representative and Senator, every potential future policy maker (including governors, etc) was targeted and unmasked for dirt that could be selectively used to influence their vote or decision on future important issues. This seems like exactly something the obama admin would do.benchmark said:I wonder how much we'll ever learn about FISA-702 'to-from' query on US persons that Rogers shut down in April 2016.

This. The FBI contractors need to be named. And the most frequent of their 702 query targets also be identified.SPF250 said:
Wonder what FISA 702 "about" queries were run on Romney campaign officials? Prior history of illegal use of this stuff would put a bow on a conspiracy case.

So how involved was Biden with all of the (likely) illegal activities of the Obama administration?Quote:
1 Biden was present at a Russia collusion briefing documented in an "odd" Susan Rice email.
Biden was documented as being present in the Oval Office for a conversation about the controversial Russia probe between President Obama, disgraced ex-FBI chief James Comey, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and other senior officials including Obama's national security advisor Susan Rice.
In an action characterized as "odd" in 2018 by then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Rice memorialized the confab in an email to herself describing Obama as starting "the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities 'by the book.'"Quote:
The email was sent during the period Obama reportedly personally raised purported red flags to then-President-elect Trump about hiring Flynn during an Oval Office meeting two days after the election.
An attorney for Rice responded to Grassley's letter saying Rice wrote the email to herself with the goal of "memorializ[ing] an important national security discussion," since "President Obama and his national security team were justifiably concerned about potential risks to the Nation's security from sharing highly classified information about Russia with certain members of the Trump transition team, particularly Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn."
The attorney's previous admission that the conversation was about Flynn may raise immediate red flags now that Flynn's case was dropped amid reports of possible wrongdoing by the FBI.Quote:
2 Biden was reportedly involved in the controversial early stages of the Russia collusion probe.
Biden was reportedly one of the few Obama administration officials who participated in secretive meetings during the early stages of the Obama-era intelligence community's initial operations regarding suspected Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.
That tidbit was contained deep inside a 7,700-plus word Washington Post article published June 23, 2017 in which the newspaper also detailed the highly compartmentalized nature of the original Russia interference investigation and the manner in which other U.S. intelligence agencies were deliberately kept in the dark. Part of the efforts eventually involved unsubstantiated and ultimately discredited charges made by the Christopher Steele dossier that Trump campaign officials were colluding with Russia.Quote:
According to the newspaper, in the summer of 2016, CIA Director John Brennan convened a "secret task force at CIA headquarters composed of several dozen analysts and officers from the CIA, the NSA and the FBI."
The Post described the unit as so secretive it functioned as a "sealed compartment" hidden even from the rest of the U.S. intelligence community; a unit whose workers were all made to sign additional non-disclosure forms.
The unit reported to top officials, the newspaper documented:The number of Obama administration officials who were allowed access to the Russia intelligence was also highly limited, the Post reported. At first only four senior officials were involved, and not Biden. Those officials were CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and then-FBI Director James Comey. Their aides were all barred from attending the initial meetings, the Post stated.Quote:
They worked exclusively for two groups of "customers," officials said. The first was Obama and fewer than 14 senior officials in government. The second was a team of operations specialists at the CIA, NSA and FBI who took direction from the task force on where to aim their subsequent efforts to collect more intelligence on Russia.Quote:
The secrecy extended into the White House.
Rice and White House homeland-security adviser Lisa Monaco convened meetings in the Situation Room to weigh the mounting evidence of Russian interference and generate options for how to respond.
At first, only four senior security officials were allowed to attend: Brennan, Clapper, Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch and FBI Director James B. Comey. Aides ordinarily allowed entry as "plus-ones" were barred.
Gradually, the circle widened to include Vice President Biden and others. Agendas sent to Cabinet secretaries including John F. Kerry at the State Department and Ashton B. Carter at the Pentagon arrived in envelopes that subordinates were not supposed to open. Sometimes the agendas were withheld until participants had taken their seats in the Situation Room.Quote:
Adding another layer of secrecy, the newspaper reported that when the closed cabinet sessions on Russia began in the White House Situation Room in August, the video feed from the main room was cut off during the meetings.
The feed, which allows only for video and not audio, is usually kept on so that senior aides can see when a meeting takes place.Quote:
3 Biden's national security adviser participated in secretive early Russia probe meetings.
Colin Kahl, who served as then-Vice President Biden's national security adviser, reportedly participated in the secretive and highly compartmentalized early principals' meetings described above in #2.
The detail was contained in the March 2018 book Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump by Michael Isikoff, chief investigative correspondent for Yahoo News, and David Corn, Washington bureau chief of Mother Jones.LINKQuote:
In discussing how to respond to the information gathered, Isikoff and Corn write, the traditional interagency process of deputy chiefs meeting to formulize options for the heads of agencies also referred to as principals was bypassed for a more secretive route.
They write:Quote:
Usually, when the White House invited the deputies and principals to such meetings, they informed them of the subject at hand and provided "read ahead" memos outlining what was on the agenda. This time, the agency officials just received instructions to show up at the White House at a certain time. No reason given. No memos supplied. "We were only told that a meeting was scheduled and our principal or deputy was expected to attend," recalled a senior administration official who participated in the sessions.
If Biden is ever asked about any of this, he'll get the deer in the headlights look.
Quote:
...Two sources told Fox News that Jeff Jensen, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri who was tapped by the Justice Department in February to review the case of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, is continuing to help with Durham's investigation even after the DOJ's move last week to drop the case against Flynn.
The sources told Fox News that interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Timothy Shea is also assisting with components of the investigation.
"They farmed the investigation out because it is too much for Durham and he didn't want to be distracted," one of the sources told Fox News....
