Let's be VERY clear: Flynn DID NOT make that Russian call on his own. He was INSTRUCTED to do so.He was TOLD to reassure them. Arrest Trump. — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 14, 2017

The new rules significantly relax longstanding limits on what the N.S.A. may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations, which are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. These include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between people abroad that cross domestic network switches. [emphasis Walsh's]
There is a good reason why the NSA's ability to share data was limited, Walsh notes.
Once compartmentalized to avoid injuring private citizens caught up in the net of the Black Widow (as we all are already) and her technological successors, the NSA was suddenly handed greater latitude in what it could share with other, perhaps more politicized bodies of the intelligence community. Why? [emphasis mine]
How convenient that Obama unleashed the NSA mere days before his presidency ended. These spooks, Walsh writes, are"unaccountable minions" who"lie and cheat for a living." He adds:
And the genius of the Democrats — something for the GOP to think about next time — is that they were able to leverage the transition in order to change as many rules and embed as many apparatchiks as possible before formally turning over the reins to the new kids.
Another way of putting it is Obama seems to have cleared the way for his confederates to do their dirty work to undermine the incoming Trump administration. Think about that. It's very Stasi. Erich Honecker would be proud. Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General William G."Jerry" Boykin went further. “So I think Flynn was targeted by them because they were concerned about where Flynn was going to go in terms of what he was going to recommend to President Trump.” The intelligence community"itself has been politicized," he told Laura Ingraham."And I think this is one of the results — this is one of the things that you’re seeing come out of that politicization.” “You’re seeing a guy that is key in the Trump administration being targeted, and they have used the tools that they have available to them to bring this guy down,” Boykin said. “And I think this is a devastating loss to the Trump administration and to the country as a whole.” In a separate article at PJMedia, Walsh made the case that"a rolling coup attempt" is in progress.
Make no mistake about what's happening here: this is a rolling coup attempt, organized by elements of the intelligence community, particularly CIA and NSA, abetted by Obama-era holdovers in the understaffed Justice Department (Sally Yates, take a bow) and the lickspittles of the leftist media, all of whom have signed on with the"Resistance" in order to overturn the results of the November election.
Former CIA analyst and retired U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer says the Obama administration was"directly involved" in the Flynn saga. He said the blame lay"squarely at the feet of" former CIA director (and suspected Muslim) John Brennan, former director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper, and Ben Rhodes. Meanwhile, in the magical land of unicorns, Moore called Trump a"Russian traitor" and said he should vacate the White House."We can do this the easy way (you resign), or the hard way (impeachment)." Moore's temper tantrum played out on Twitter. Here it is — it's been a long day — in what I hope is in chronological order:
He's only first to go. One by one they will drop until the so-called president is told "you're fired." Up next, Miller & Bannon. — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 14, 2017
Miller refers to Stephen Miller, Special Advisor to President Trump. Bannon is Stephen K. Bannon, Senior Counsel to President Trump. Moore's mental breakdown continued.
Now that Flynn is gone, he can rejoin his son in pedaling the story that Hillary was running a pedophile ring out of Comet Pizza. #security — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 14, 2017
He wants Flynn arrested, too.
Fondly remembering traitor Michael Flynn at the Republican convention leading the cheer from the stage: "LOCK HER UP." — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 14, 2017
Bring on the thorazine and straitjacket.
Flynn was colluding w/ a foreign gov't accused of helping throw the election 2 Trump,promising them they would be taken care of. Arrest him. — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 14, 2017
A conspiracy theory from a fevered mind is fleshed out a bit.
Let's be VERY clear: Flynn DID NOT make that Russian call on his own. He was INSTRUCTED to do so.He was TOLD to reassure them. Arrest Trump. — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 14, 2017
Another conspiracy theory.
TRUMP KNEW EVERYTHING. It will all come out. Along with the rest of Trump's collusion & obedience to Putin. #IMPEACH pic.twitter.com/HGdvgjHumY — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 14, 2017
He cites the Left's favorite purveyors of false information who still haven't managed to cough up intelligence community sources willing to go on the record.
The Washington Post & NY Times now reporting Trump HAS KNOWN FOR A MONTH Flynn lied about the Russian call – and Trump did nothing. #IMPEACH — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 14, 2017
He gets creative. Moore is an artist, after all.
Hey @realDonaldTrump-1hr after Obama put sanctions on Russia YOU told Flynn 2 call them & promise em it'll be OK. Traitor!Resign by morning! — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 14, 2017
Then an ultimatum.
Um, @realDonaldTrump — It's now noontime in DC & it appears you are still squatting in our Oval Office. I gave u til this morning to leave. — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 14, 2017
Then comes a threat.
What part of "vacate you Russian traitor" don't you understand? We can do this the easy way (you resign), or the hard way (impeachment). — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 14, 2017
Next he cites a thinly-sourced, no, make that an un-sourced, article in the New York Times. The newspaper claims"four current and former American officials," left unidentified, told its reporters that Flynn did vewy vewy naughty things.
BREAKING: Minutes ago, NY Times bombshell– Trump campaign officials in contact w/Russian intelligence for full year https://t.co/iYlsksB4ZC — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 15, 2017
He responds to this…
Just a reminder that the guy who appointed Flynn also wants to appoint a SCOTUS justice who will serve for the rest of their life. — Ian Millhiser (@imillhiser) February 14, 2017
…with this.
NO! NEVER! https://t.co/vKMkQdyeti — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 15, 2017
On Facebook he lays out a road map for ousting Trump.
This is what must be done: https://t.co/Gb4A4pu9r9 — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 15, 2017
In relevant part:
So this is what I want done NOW:Moore then removes all doubt he's a rocket scientist.
- I and tens of millions of Americans demand that the weak and spineless Democrats bring Congress to a halt until investigative hearings are held and impeachment charges are filed. We don't want to hear you Dems huff and puff and grandstand and take symbolic actions. We demand that you halt all actions being taken by an illegitimately elected government until this matter is resolved.
- Attorney General J Beauregard Sessions must immediately appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate these potentially treasonous acts.
- So-Called President Trump could save the country a lot of time, money and pain by stepping down tonight.
- Somehow, our judicial system has to find a way to make restitution to this country. Pence can't be president as he, too, was elected under this same fraud. The court has to rule either that the President is the winner of the popular vote OR the election must be held over. The Republicans– the beneficiaries of this treason –cannot be allowed to hold on to the power by default. If it turns out there's a traitor in the White House, the judicial branch must find a fair, peaceful way to un-do and then re-do the election of 2016.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what was going on: TRUMP COLLUDING WITH THE RUSSIANS TO THROW THE ELECTION TO HIM. — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 15, 2017
He repeats his Facebook demand.
We demand that the weak & spineless Democrats bring Congress 2 a halt until investigative hearings are held & impeachment charges are filed. — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) February 15, 2017
And then he moves on to something else. Maybe he saw a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial on TV. It is important to note that Moore doesn't talk about the arguably treasonous behavior of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. There was President Obama's infamous hot mic moment in Seoul in March 2012. At a summit, Obama leaned over to then-Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and asked him for more time “particularly with missile defense” — until he could safely win reelection later that year. “I understand your message about space,” replied Medvedev, who at that time was scheduled to cede the presidency to Vladimir Putin two months later. “This is my last election … After my election I have more flexibility,” said Obama. “I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” said Medvedev. Moore doesn't complain about then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton approving the sale of 20 percent of U.S. uranium to Russian interests, either. That's because these facts don't follow the Left's Trump-is-Hitler narrative. Moore doesn't care. Propagandists don't have to.
