Intelligence Community Fears Kim Jong Un Still Capable Of Outwitting Trump Despite Being In Vegetative State News that Kim Jong Un is in a vegetative state following a botched operation is the talk of the intelligence community in the United States. However officials cautioned against rushing into any negotiations between President Trump and the North Korean leader to take advantage of his serious medical predicament. “Our analysis of the situation leads us to believe Kim is still more than capable of outwitting this President despite his likely being brain dead.” While acknowledging that being in a vegetative state with no hope of recovery certainly brought Kim closer to Trump’s level of cognitive ability, they fear Trump would still be at a significant disadvantage in a head-to-head matchup. “Remember we’re talking about a US President who recently recommended drinking bleach to cure infection with the novel coronavirus.” They added that if Kim dies they may be willing to revisit their conclusions. “But even in negotiations with Kim’s stone-cold corpse, there is still a high chance the Supreme Leader will gain the upper hand over President Trump.”

NIKKI HALEY DEMAND FIRING SQUAD FOR COMEY, BRENNAN, OBAMA 'People need to pay for this': Nikki Haley sounds off on 'shameful' treatment of Michael Flynn following release of FBI documents by Andrew Mark Miller \| April 30, 2020 12:31 PM www.washingtonexaminer.com /news/people-need-to-pay-for-this-nikki-haley-sounds-off-on-shameful-treatment-of-michael-flynn-following-release-of-fbi-documents Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley reacted to unsealed documents related to the investigation of retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, calling it “shameful.” “There is so much to unpack with the new info on Gen. Flynn,” Haley tweeted. “The most upsetting is how calculated it was. Letting Gen. Flynn off is not enough. People need to pay for this and the FBI needs to answer to how the public can have confidence that it will never happen again. Shameful.” The unsealed records showed FBI officials discussing the possibility of prosecuting Flynn, Trump’s onetime national security adviser, for lying about communications with Russians. “I agreed yesterday that we shouldn’t show Flynn [REDACTED] if he didn’t admit,” but “I thought about it last night and I believe we should rethink this,” an FBI official wrote. “What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” Haley was joined in her outrage by many other conservative news personalities immediately following the release of the document. “I’ve been in D.C. most of my life — in and around government and family work for the government," Tucker Carlson said on his Fox News program Wednesday evening. "The idea that our top law enforcement agency would set someone up like this, so boldly. … I find that really shocking.” “This is just one of the most corrupt things I’ve ever seen in my life and one of the scariest," he added. "How is this not a crime?” Fox News contributor Dan Bongino tweeted: “The only person on the planet who thinks [former FBI Director James] Comey is a decent human being is Comey. We now know what a corrupt piece of garbage he is. What he did to Flynn was absolutely grotesque. He’s filth.” “Those who have been skeptical of the case against General Flynn from day 1 and been calling it an evil, politically motivated injustice were right,” radio host and former CIA analyst Buck Sexton tweeted. “The multi-billion dollar media apparatus that defamed and tried to ruin Flynn out of partisan spite were wrong. Never forget it.” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham viewed the news as proof Flynn was “railroaded.” “It’s pretty apparent to me that General Flynn was a victim of an out of control Department of Justice," Graham tweeted. “He basically got railroaded. It’s pretty widely known the Obama Administration did not have much use for General Flynn.”

The Vindication of Michael Flynn. Justice drops its prosecution with new evidence about the FBI. wsj.com We recommend the filing for readers who think this couldn’t happen in America. The filing recounts how the FBI had concluded in late 2016 that there was no evidence that Mr. Flynn had colluded with Russia. But the FBI kept the investigation open after it received a transcript of Mr. Flynn’s conversation with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. Mr. Comey and his loyalists then set up Mr. Flynn in an interview despite having no legal basis. The documents show that Mr. Comey told his deputies not to inform the White House general counsel of the visit and not to tell the White House about his conversation with the ambassador. They also show that Mr. Comey worked around senior Justice officials, including Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, who thought the White House should be informed. As he did with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Hillary Clinton’s emails, Mr. Comey acted as if he was a law unto himself. At the time the agents admitted they did not think Mr. Flynn was lying to them. But as the Justice filing notes, without a legitimate investigative purpose, whether Mr. Flynn was lying was immaterial. He should never have been prosecuted. Yet Mr. Mueller, who knew all this soon after becoming special counsel, pursued Mr. Flynn, threatening him and his son with ruin until he got the guilty plea. The prosecutor on the case, Brandon Van Grack, was part of Mr. Mueller’s team and consistently denied there was relevant material the government had not turned over to the defense. But surely the lack of a legal predicate for the interview was exculpatory. Mr. Van Grack told the court Thursday he is withdrawing from the case, but an investigation is warranted to see if he lied to the court. Mr. Mueller’s reputation also stands self-besmirched, and the entire Russia collusion probe looks even more illegitimate and political. All of this came to light after Attorney General Bill Barr assigned another U.S. Attorney, Jeffrey Jensen, to look at the Flynn case anew. The partisan press will portray this as a political decision done to please Mr. Trump. But Mr. Jensen is a long-time veteran of Justice and the FBI. He is not someone who would seek to damage those institutions for political purposes. Mr. Jensen put it this way in a statement Thursday: “Through the course of my review of General Flynn’s case, I concluded the proper and just course was to dismiss the case. I briefed Attorney General Barr on my findings, advised him on these conclusions and he agreed.” Messrs. Jensen and Barr deserve credit for a brave decision that will not be popular with some prosecutors and certainly not with the Democratic media. But as the filing notes, the cause of justice is paramount, even after a guilty plea has been made, if the evidence demands a reversal. There is still much we don’t know, and many Russia-related documents we still do not have, and we hope Mr. Barr will continue to make them public as he cleans up after one of the most shameful episodes in FBI and Justice Department history. For now, at least Michael Flynn can get his life and reputation back.
