Null&Void The Election and Tax Bill

How many Republican Senators and Congressman ASSUMED their President was GUILTY of Obstruction of Justice, and Colluding with the Russians in order to defeat the Democrats, who were, and are seen as THE SWORN ENEMY, more so than Putin?

Jospeh McCarthy assumed Hollywood was overrun with Communist, and used tax money to conduct a witchunt. Many Republican Senators signed a Tax Bill – without knowing what it said. They didn’t read it. Yet they ASSUME – with glee – it will hurt millions of Americans.

So, it is permitted to ASSUME. When did the Republican Party ASSUME their President was GUILTY AS CHARGED – before the ELECTIONS! How many Republican Leaders ASSUME a vast number of American Voters – would sweep them out of office – if We The People were granted another election on Presidents Day? In the United States, Presidents Day is always celebrated on the third Monday of February. In the United States, Presidents Day is always celebrated on the third Monday of February. If these Traitors can fork over a trillion dollars to the wealthy in this time period, they can get ballots out to the people in a Special Election. Let us – snatch our money right out of their hands! Let us laugh in their face! Let us find out who has bee making millions with the Russians!

Write your Congressman and Senator and demand a New Election!

• President Donald Trump tweeted on Saturday that he “had to fire” former national security adviser Michael Flynn because Flynn “lied” to Vice President Mike Pence and the FBI.
• The statement indicates that Trump was aware, when Flynn was forced to resign, that he had lied to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials.
• The tweet sheds light on Trump’s appeal to former FBI director James Comey to let go of the FBI’s investigation into Flynn, and his subsequent decision to terminate Comey when he did not comply.

President Donald Trump may have just given special counsel Robert Mueller’s obstruction-of-justice investigation an inadvertent boost.

On Saturday, Trump defended his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, following news that Flynn had pled guilty to one count of making false statements to investigators during an interview in January about his contacts with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak during the transition period.

“I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI,”  the president tweeted on Saturday. “He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!”

Flynn was forced to resign as national security adviser in February, when news surfaced that Flynn had spoken to Kislyak about US sanctions on Russia on December 29 — the same day that the sanctions were imposed by President Barack Obama.

‘I fired him because of what he said to Mike Pence’

Trump told reporters at the time that he had been forced to fire Flynn because he had misled Vice President Mike Pence about those conversations. But the White House gave no indication at the time that it knew Flynn had lied to the FBI in a January interview about those conversations — a federal crime that Flynn pleaded guilty to on Friday.

“I fired him because of what he said to Mike Pence,” Trump said during a press conference on February 16.

He continued: “Very simple. Mike was doing his job. He was calling countries and his counterparts. So, it certainly would have been OK with me if he did it. I would have directed him to do it if I thought he wasn’t doing it. I didn’t direct him, but I would have directed him because that’s his job.”

Trump’s tweet on Saturday appears to indicate that Trump was aware Flynn had lied to the FBI when he departed the administration in February.

It also seems out of line with what a person close to White House counsel Don McGahn told the New York Times on Friday, which is that when former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates warned him about Flynn in January, she did not mention that Flynn had committed a federal crime.

If Trump knew that Flynn was in the FBI’s crosshairs when he asked former FBI Director James Comey, whom he later fired, to consider “letting Flynn go” the day after Flynn resigned, that could dramatically bolster the obstruction case federal prosecutors are building against him.

“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” Trump told Comey on February 14, according to Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee in June. “He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.”

Comey gave no indication that he would consider Trump’s request. Three months later, Trump abruptly fired Comey, wo was leading the FBI’s Russia investigation at the time.

Trump is either ‘utterly clueless about his own jeopardy or he truly believes he is beyond accountability’

“I think the obstruction case was already substantial — both circumstantially and through Trump’s own words,” said DOJ veteran and former Assistant Deputy Attorney General Bill Yeomans.

“This tweet certainly contributes to the case. He knew Flynn lied to the FBI when he pressed Comey to drop the case and then fired Comey,” Yeomans said. “Mostly disturbingly, however, the tweet shows either that the president is utterly clueless about his own jeopardy or he truly believes he is beyond accountability because neither his base nor Republicans in Congress will hold him responsible.”

Former FBI special agent Asha Rangappa largely agreed.

“I think if the President knew Flynn had done anything illegal at the time he asked Comey to drop investigation, then yes, it strengthens the [obstruction] case,” she said on Saturday.

“I think it also has to be looked at in the context of both him and others on the campaign simultaneously and blanketly denying any contacts with Russia, when the statement of facts Flynn pled to clearly shows the opposite,” Rangappa added.

“So asking Comey to drop investigation knowing he had lied to FBI, combined with the pattern of lying about the existence and nature of across his campaign evidences a (corrupt) intent to prevent what would be uncovered by the investigation.”

Andy Wright, a former associate counsel to President Barack Obama and Vice President Al Gore, said Trump’s tweet “could be construed as an admission that he knew Flynn had lied to the FBI on January 24.”

“Later that same week, DOJ tells the WH that Flynn is compromised and President Trump tells Jim Comey he ‘needs loyalty.’ Then, on Valentine’s Day, the President asks Comey if the FBI could ‘let Flynn go,’” Wright said. “Having not received the assurances he sought, he fired Comey under the false pretext of Comey’s handling of the Clinton investigation. As an obstruction of justice timeline, it looks very bad.”
