Adam Schiff went on a tirade claiming that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is still guilty and that AG Bill Barr is doing President Donald Trump’s bidding. Schiff blatantly lied about Flynn last night claiming he “lied to the FBI about his illicit Russian contacts. He added: “This dismissal does not exonerate him. But it does incriminate Bill Barr.” Well, that’s when poor Shifty Schiff got an epic smackdown. You’ll love this.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff claimed the Department of Justice’s decision to drop criminal charges against retired Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn on Thursday does not exonerate the former Trump national security advisor but incriminates Attorney General William Barr.
“Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his illicit Russian contacts. His lies do not now become truths,” Schiff wrote on Twitter. “This dismissal does not exonerate him. But it does incriminate Bill Barr.”
“In the worst politicization of the Justice Department in its history,” the California Democrat added.

Shifty Schiff is once again twisting the truth. Flynn did not lie. He was doing his job.
The “illicit Russian contacts” that Schiff is claiming Flynn had contacted was none other than Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. It’s a total joke to say this is an illicit contact. Remember, Flynn was the incoming new NSA director and part of his new job was speaking with his new counterparts.
The dirty cops at the FBI had tapped Flynn’s phone and heard him talk to Kislyak. Of course, Flynn is going to talk to ambassadors and other foreign nationals since he was the new guy heading up the entire “national security” apparatus of the United States.
To call that an “illicit Russian contact” is like saying President Trump talking to the president of Mexico is an “illicit Mexican contact.”
It’s downright laughable, as are Schiff’s other statements about Flynn allegedly “lying.”
Flynn pleaded guilty to lying only after the dirty rats at the FBI, and on Robert Mueller’s team, threatened to bring trumped-up charges against his son. As Flynn could see, these rats were capable of ram-rodding anyone to get what they wanted, and what they wanted was to get rid of Flynn.
Why? Flynn was an obstacle to keep the bogus Trump-Russia collusion hoax going, says former Federal Prosecutor Andy McCarthy.
“Michael Flynn was not the objective. He was the obstacle,” McCarthy said. “But how could the FBI sustain an investigation targeting the president when the president would have the power to shut the investigation down?”
“The only way the bureau could pull that off would be to conceal from the president the fullness of the Russia investigation — in particular, the fact that Trump was the target,” McCarthy added. “That is why Flynn had to go.”
Americans blasted Adam Schiff, making it clear his lies have been exposed.
“You’ve been wrong on virtually everything, including Russian collusion. You prevented the release of the transcripts exonerating the President for political purposes, despite many in Congress demanding to see the proof. You are a fraud and a political pawn,” tweeted Mike Coudrey.

“General Flynn was a Hero when our country needed it most… Not only should charges be dropped but also the TREASONOUS ACTORS WHO SET HIM UP SHOULD BE SENT TO JAIL!” tweeted Wayne Dunlap.

Speaking to CBS News, Barr defended the decision to drop the charges against Flynn, saying he was “doing the law’s bidding.”
“A crime cannot be established here. They did not have a basis for a counterintelligence investigation against Flynn at that stage,” Barr said in reference to the FBI.
“People sometimes plead to things that turn out not to be crimes,” the chief law enforcement official added.
The Flynn case was such a miscarriage of justice and stain on our federal law enforcement officials. Now, Americans want the FBI cleaned up and Christopher Wray, the current director, has done nothing to weed out the rats.
That’s why patriots on social media were calling for the newly exonerated General Flynn to be the new director of the FBI. That would be the perfect ending to this sad sorted affair.
