So General Michael Flynn, President Trump's former National Security Advisor, has been hounded from his job by a small army of transparent flacks who've escaped from their pens to accuse the General of being in violation of The Logan Act, a 1799 law that prohibits private US citizens from negotiating with foreign governments, a law for which no one has ever been prosecuted.  And for good reason - it's a 'law' that has been violated or ignored with impunity in a number of famous cases with no penalties ever assessed.

There was then Presidential candidate and private citizen Richard Nixon in 1968 having Anna Chennault, 'a Republican doyenne and Nixon fund-raiser, and a member of the pro-nationalist China lobby' messaging South Vietnamese president Nguyen Van Thieu that South Vietnam would get a better peace deal if Nixon were President, a story that dogged Nixon for years and one he whole heartedly denied many times.  (Since there are three sides to every story, here's a version that doesn't see Nixon guilty of treason.)

Then there's another story where the violation of the Logan Act is cloaked in the guise of humanitarianism when private citizens Bill Clinton and Al Gore negotiated the release of two journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Leedetained by The North Koreans and sentenced to twelve years hard labor for their illegal entry into the country.  (And undocumented immigrants coming into America think they've got it tough.)

Interestingly, Laura and Euna were in North Korea investigating human trafficking. Say 'cheese.'   Attention David Seaman.


Personally I would have held on to Gen. Flynn simply because I don't like being pushed around by a bunch of scam artists up to their ears in hypocrisy with their pillorying.  But ... I can see why the Administration decided to let him go.  He would have been a source of endless distraction with the evening news every night having a split-screen of him going from place to place contrasted with Congressional Democrats demonstrating once again how nobody is better at wasting Government time and money getting to the bottom of a non-story.  (The FBI has said Gen. Flynn did not lie to them and hadn't broken any laws so let's hold our piss ant hearings anyway ... and the evening news will pay scant attention to us.)

What does this have to do with the Deep State?  As open source investigator James Corbett said in a recent video, the Deep State is run by the people who are listening in to our converstations, and since this is all about the intelligence community listening in on Gen. Flynn's phone call with the Russian Ambassador ... there you have it.

It's beginning to seem like Congressional Democrats have turned into a bunch spear clutching cannibal pygmies dancing around President Trump as he sits cooking in an iron pot.  And this is what I'm afraid of - President Trump is too nice of a guy for Washington.  Sure he's dominated the NYC real estate scene and reality television and was good at throwing elbows when he had to but ... this isn't that.  This is a whole different game.  What I think he needs is a real son of a bitch bastard asshole to unpack what the Congressional Democrats are up to and call them on it in no uncertain terms.

Am I volunteering for the job?  Let's just say they know where to find me.  @AlexTamsula
