McCabe's Revenge: Circa Suggests Flynn Investigation Was Launched As Pure Retaliation

 

Andrew McCabe has long been a controversial figure at the FBI. His position as Deputy Director of the FBI came under intense scrutiny during the Clinton email investigation after it came to light that his wife, Jill McCabe, took nearly $500,000 from Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe to fund her Senate campaign. Of course, Terry McAuliffe is a long-time confidant of the Clinton family and was rumored as a potential running mate for Hillary. But sure, no reason to be wary the McCabe was put in charge of supervising that particular investigation.

 

But now, at least according to a new report from Circa, McCabe may have other conflicts, including a personal vendetta against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, that have not yet been disclosed. According to Circa, Flynn apparently enraged McCabe a few years back after he intervened on behalf of an FBI Special Agent, Robyn Gritz, who had accused McCabe and other top FBI officials of sexual discrimination.

CNN accepts resignations of 3 involved in retracted story

 

NEW YORK (AP) — CNN accepted the resignations Monday of three journalists involved in a retracted story about a supposed investigation into a pre-inaugural meeting between an associate of President Donald Trump and the head of a Russian investment fund.

 

The story was posted on the network's website on Thursday and was removed, with all links disabled, Friday night. CNN immediately apologized to Anthony Scaramucci, the Trump transition team member who was reported to be involved in the meeting.

 

The story's author, Thomas Frank, was among those who resigned, according to a network executive who requested anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss personnel issues. Also losing their jobs were Eric Lichtblau, an assistant managing editor in CNN's Washington bureau, and Lex Haris, head of the investigations unit.

 

CNN, in initially taking down the story, said it didn't meet its editorial standards. The episode is a damaging blow for a network that Trump has frequently derided as "fake news," and for a story that never even made it onto any of CNN's television networks

Makes you wonder how much more bullshit CNN has been reporting over the last six months or so.I would guess quite a bit.

The America of my timeline is a laboratory example of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies throughout all histories. A perfect democracy. a 'warm body' democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self correction. It depends solely on the wisdom and self restraint of citizens.... which is opposed by the folly and lack of self restraint of other citizens. What is suppose to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self interest  as he sees it.... which for the majority translates as 'bread and circuses."

 

"Bread and Circuses' is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end for the state. For when the plebs discover they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit, and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in it's weakened condition the state succumbs an invader.... the barbarians enter Rome.

Plebs being liberals and liberal pawns...

 

Right. All others vote for the common good.  (note sarcastic font)

 

Definition of plebs

plural plebesplay play \ˈplē-(ˌ)bēz, ˈplā-ˌbās\

1:  the general populace

2:  the common people of ancient Rome

 

 

From the early 30s to the late 40s Robert Heinlein was a fucking Democrat, and was actually active in the socialist End Poverty in California movement. Shit, he ran for the California State Assembly as a Democrat in 1939. He was outspoken as an anti racist, and his writing was very influential in the free love movement in the 60s. By then he identified as libertarian; In a letter he wrote in 1987, "As for libertarian, I've been one all my life, a radical one. You might use the term "philosophical anarchist" or "autarchist" about me, but "libertarian" is easier to define and fits well enough." So no Matt, he was not talking about liberals, he was talking about the common man, you and me.

 

The hippie counterculture embraced Stranger in a Strange Land, and libertarians identified with The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. many people were influenced by his themes of personal freedom of thought and action, and that's what got me. I am a fan of and his work is the main reason my political philosophy became rampant anti Left vs Right and more Libertarian. I'm sick of plebs paddling around in circle with one oar in the water. This country is getting nowhere fast because of it.
