Morning Greatness: Senator Warner, Susan Rice Call for Flynn Intel Docs to be Released

Good Thursday morning.

Here is what’s on the president’s agenda today:

  • The president arrives at Ford Rawsonville Plant in Ypsilanti, MI
  • President Trump participates in a listening session with African-American Leaders
  • The president tours Ford Rawsonville Components Plant
  • President Trump delivers remarks at Ford Rawsonville Components Plant

Curious push to release more Flynn intel documents…from the Democrats

Future indicted co-conspirator Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) asked acting-DNI and national hero Ric Grenell to release transcript of the intelligence documents in which Flynn was unmasked.

“As you are well aware, there are substantial protections built into the process for requesting that identities of U.S. persons be unmasked in intelligence reports, ensuring that the rights of individual Americans are protected and that unmasking requests are granted only to those who need the information in order to protect U.S. national security,” Warner wrote.

“[S]elective declassification for political purposes undermines the integrity of our system for protecting classified information, undermines the Intelligence Community’s credibility, and erodes public trust in institutions critical to protecting the nation,” he added.

Political purposes? If there was anything illegal in the Flynn comms they would have brought him up on charges. But they didn’t, the set him up on a lame perjury trap.

Something is afoot. Professional liar and self-memo writer Susan Rice has also called for the release of the Flynn Kislyak transcripts. Even Flynn’s lawyer doesn’t have the transcript of the call.

“In the interest of transparency, Ambassador Rice again calls upon the Director of National Intelligence to release the unredacted transcripts of all Kislyak-Flynn calls,” spokeswoman Erin Pelton said in a statement on behalf of Rice. “The American people deserve the full transcripts so they can judge for themselves Michael Flynn’s conduct.”

I don’t know what are in the transcripts but Flynn is a career intel officer, he knows the snoops surveil the communications of diplomats. (Of course he didn’t know at the time he was also surveiled.) What would he have said that would be incriminating? Whatever the reason for the calls to release the documents, it’s not an altruistic one.

Trump threatens states who plan mail-in voting

This effort is merely an effort to cheat, we all know that. President Trump called out two (Democrat-run) states, Nevada and Michigan who want to expand their mail-in voting programs.

The president, who has often railed against mail voting by alleging — without evidence — that the voting alternative is ripe for fraud, singled out Michigan and Nevada in the morning over each states’ effort to use absentee and mail-in ballots for upcoming elections over the coming months by falsely claiming the states acted “illegally” and threatening to “hold up” federal funding to those states.

“Without evidence.” HA! Cut them off.
