Update Of 5/19/2019
Just watched this stunning, recent talk by Kimberley Strassel: The Left will Silence You. She spoke on 4/30/2019 at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. Among many other things, she raised the right question whether and when the FISA court will finally stand up to its abuse by FBI and DOJ (I blogged about this here)!
I wish, I had only a fraction of her courage! I am a little concerned now that this lady is going to suffer a burn out over this issue.
She acknowledged the support by her Wall Street Journal colleague Paul Gigot! Two thumbs up for this man!
We also learn why this investigative reporter is living in Alaska of all places! Enjoy!
Update Of 12/15/2018
Recently (12/13/2018), the Walls Street Journal published this opinion piece by Kimberley Strassel:
Checking Robert Mueller The sentencing judge brings to light dodgy FBI conduct in the Mike Flynn case
More amazing/disturbing things become known about the witch hunt against President Trump. Here some salient quotes (emphasis added):
- “It was arranged by then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who personally called Mr. Flynn on other business, then suggested he sit down with two agents to clear up the Russia question. Mr. McCabe urged Mr. Flynn to conduct the interview with no lawyer present—to make things easier.
- The agents (including the infamous Peter Strzok) showed up within two hours. They had already decided not to inform Mr. Flynn that they had transcripts of his conversations or give him the standard warning against lying to the FBI. They wanted him “relaxed” and “unguarded.” Former Director James Comey this weekend bragged on MSNBC that he would never have “gotten away” with such a move in a more “organized” administration. The whole thing stinks of entrapment … ”
- “... the curious question was how the Flynn defense team got the details. The court filing refers to a McCabe memo written the day of the 2017 meeting, as well as an FBI summary—known as a 302 … These are among documents congressional Republicans have been fighting to obtain for more than a year, only to be stonewalled by the Justice Department. Now we know why the department didn’t want them public.
- … Judge Sullivan. He sits on the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, and as he wrote for the Journal last year, he got a “wake-up call” in 2008 while overseeing the trial of then-Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska. Judge Sullivan ultimately assigned a lawyer to investigate Justice Department misconduct. The investigator’s report found prosecutors had engaged in deliberate and repeated ethical violations, withholding key evidence from the defense. It also excoriated the FBI for failing to write up 302s and for omitting key facts from those it did write. The head of the FBI was Mr. Mueller. ...”
Original Post
Was Trump’s Campaign ‘Set Up’? At some point, the Russia investigation became political. How early was it? Opinion piece by Kimberley A. Strassel (Unfortunately, behind paywall)
It looks like this highly regarded journalist of the Wall Street Journal is pursuing a story to uncover what could well turn out to be Watergate II, but much more sophisticated and stealthy than the dumb break in into the Democratic Party headquarters located in the Watergate building in Washington DC in 1972.
Kimberley A. Strassel might just become the next Bob Woodward & Carl Bernstein (both then Washington Post) of Watergate fame.
Go after it, Kimberley Strassel! Find Deep Throat!
