My understanding is that it wasn’t a crime until 2001. Patriot Act reform, maybe. Or that is was broadened?
Am I wrong?

Doesn’t Schiff spin EVERYTHING to bolster his case ?

“On the night of June 31, were you chewing Wrigley Spearment or Bazooka??!!!

“Aha! Gotcha! You dirty, stinking TRAITOR!!! You deserve to be put away for a long, long time, that is, if you don’t get the DEATH penalty, you TRAITOR!!!”

WaPo 5-31-2019: “In a court filing Friday, the Justice Department wrote that it did not rely on such recordings to establish Flynn’s guilt or determine a recommendation for his sentencing.” On the basis of that representation, Sullivan ruled that the recording did not have to be disclosed. It’s hard to square this with the assertion (in the Statement of Offense) that Flynn lied to the FBI agents when he said he did not ask Kislyak to refrain from escalating the situation.

She’s talking about the journalistic mal-practice

https://dailycaller.com/2020/05/22/kayleigh-mcenany-demands-answers-from-press-flynn/
She’s asking 5 questions about Obamagate that the journalists are not asking.

Why:
1. did Obama use DNC info to spy on Trump?
2. was Flynn unmasked so often by so many Obama-crats? (Obama-rats?)
3. was Flynn’s identity illegally leaked?
4. did DOJ learn about FBI actions from a conversation with Obama?
5. did Clapper, Brennan, Power, & Rice (O-rats!) admit secretly under oath “no evidence”, yet in public dishonestly lie that there was?

Journalists are supposed to be looking for facts to answer the question of Why.

And she’s defending asking the journalists:
https://dailycaller.com/2020/05/26/journalists-questioned-kayleigh-mcenany-fires-back-chris-wallace/

I think Trump has found an even better winning anti-Fake News strategy.
Not quite as good as indictments against more of the criminal rats, but good.

Good site if you are interested in what’s happening in the UK, or just like snark & facts (rather like tea & crumpets, what?).

“Fox News has learned that Grenell also completed the declassification review of other documents related to the origins of the Russia probe — including one that a senior intelligence official told Fox News was “very significant in understanding how intelligence was manipulated to support launching the Russia investigation.” “

“Lastly, I should add, I gladly would have discussed this and other intelligence matters with you directly had you not chosen to cancel our planned call and then ignored subsequent requests by my office to reschedule.” — Grenell

Seems like I’ve seen that play by the Democrats before.

Can we start a Ric Grenell Fan Club?
