The decision of the US Attorney General to end the criminal prosecution of Trump’s former national security adviser, General Michael Flynn, is more than a presidential administration victory over political opponents and yet another demonstration that the entire “investigation into the Russian conspiracy” is one big fake.
According to the US Democratic Party and the most Russophobic-minded part of the American establishment, Flynn allegedly was one of the links between the Trump team and the Russian authorities, and therefore his actual justification (despite the fact that the general himself had already managed to plead guilty twice) is already a big a problem for the entire anti-Russian narrative, which, although faded against the background of the coronavirus, is still present in the American info field ahead of the presidential election.
But even more important is the fact that the new leadership of the American security forces opened the archives of their predecessors, from which several unpleasant conclusions clearly follow for those who believe in the American security forces and the justice system. Firstly, it turned out that the FBI, and indeed all the organizers of the investigation of the “Russian conspiracy,” initially knew that there was no conspiracy and that they were really trying to put an absolutely innocent person solely so that the investigation against the Trump administration could continue.
Secondly, it turns out that Barack Obama himself and Joe Biden, as well as other representatives of the outgoing presidential administration, were aware of this scheme and supported an illegal investigation in order to prevent Trump from being legally elected. It may well turn out that the investigation of the “Russian conspiracy” will result in a fiasco for the presidential election for Biden, and if you are not very lucky, then Biden and Obama can go to jail along with a galaxy of leaders of American spy and counterintelligence structures. In the end, an attempted coup d’etat, made under the pretext of not allowing a “Russian agent” into the White House (about which the organizers knew for certain that he was not an agent), still remains an attempted coup d’etat, and attracting high-ranking security officials to it the court considers it an additional aggravating circumstance.
The British The Times is not in vain paying attention to the fact that Trump is clearly not ready to be satisfied with the excuse of his national security adviser, the case against which for several years has been a clear proof that the US president does not control the American security forces. Now it is a matter of transferring the scandal and the accompanying investigation against the “Obama security forces” to the public plane and doing it right in time for the presidential election campaign to go to the finish line. The key accusation has already been made, however, so far not in the act of the prosecutor’s office, but on Twitter the US president.
“President Trump said that Barack Obama and his vice president Joe Biden were involved in a conspiracy to“ overthrow ” the current administration (in the context of the appearance) of documents shedding new light on the“ Russian investigation. ” Trump’s statements were made amid the withdrawal of charges from Michael Flynn, his first national security adviser, after an investigation by the Department of Justice concluded that FBI agents harassed Flynn “without any legitimate investigative basis.” Mr. Flynn pleaded guilty to the lies of the FBI, but later refused his confession, ” writes The Times.
From the point of view of a law-abiding American who faithfully believes in the goodness of the FBI and the political independence of the special services, the documents now revealed by US Attorney General Barr (Trump’s loyalist) look so wild that the flagship of the American financial press The Wall Street Journal invites readers to get acquainted with them personally, because the editorial staff of the publication is not sure that they will take the word: “We recommend that readers who think that this cannot happen in America should familiarize themselves with the documents submitted to the court by the Ministry of Justice. It tells how the FBI concluded at the end of 2016 that there was no evidence that Mr. Flynn had entered into a conspiracy with Russia. ”
By and large, from the notes of the FBI agents it follows that they had a choice: to catch General Flynn for some technical inaccuracy (even the fact of incorrectly indicating the time of a particular phone call or the color of the tie that the suspect wore on a particular day is a crime sufficient to prosecution) or find out the truth. And the FBI leadership deliberately decided to “catch the general for inaccuracies” and force him to slander the president. As emphasized by The Wall Street Journal, the special prosecutor Muller went so far as to threaten to bring the family of the general himself and his son to financial annihilation (defending the FBI in an American court is a very expensive pleasure): “And yet Mr. Muller, who recognized everything this (about the general’s actual innocence), shortly after becoming a special prosecutor, continued the criminal prosecution of Mr. Flynn, threatening him and his son until he received a guilty plea. ” The general actually incriminated himself in order to save his son, but refused to slander the president, although the organizers of the “investigation of the Russian conspiracy” counted on this.
Already these elements are enough to recognize the fact that all attempts to investigate the “Russian conspiracy” were just an attempt by specific US security forces to get Trump out of office on the pretext of his cooperation with Russia. But this is not all: it turns out that Barack Obama was probably personally involved in the plot, managing to leave documentary evidence of his personal interest and awareness of the operation, which can be considered an attempted coup.
Fox News reports: “President Obama was aware of the details of the phone calls intercepted in December 2016 by National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak, which apparently surprised Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates. This follows from documents published on Thursday in the context of the prosecutor’s decision to close the Flynn’s case. ”
If the former US president is not clairvoyant, then the only logical explanation for this situation is that Obama himself, his entourage and representatives of the “deep state” inside the US security forces together prepared this coup plan, together conducted illegal surveillance of political opponents, headquarters Trump and his advisers, together, looked for any opportunities to prevent him from taking office. And this, most likely, means that Trump was completely right when he accused the then president of using security forces to monitor and sabotage the election campaign of Trump himself.
The prospects for this scandal are obvious: if the political situation so requires, Obama, Biden and the entire leadership of the US law enforcement agencies may be in court to testify in the coup d’etat case, and this topic itself may become one of the main topics of the election campaign. The Democratic Party may not recover from this scandal in this electoral cycle, and even the Americans’ faith in the honesty of their own power structures will be generally shattered.
Unfortunately, this will not greatly improve Russian-American relations – sanctions against Russia were imposed not for a “Russian conspiracy”, but based on geopolitical considerations. But, at least, future Washington-Moscow talks will take place without too much toxicity, especially if some of the organizers of the “Russian investigation” go to jail.
