USA: Former Defense Secretary James N. Mattis Said Joe Biden Must Eliminate 'America First' From U.S. Foreign Policy. He DID NOT Disclose He Holds A Senior Position At The Cohen Group That's Puts China First.

Breitbart News

Monday November 23, 2020

Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis declared in an article in Foreign Affairs on Monday that the “America First” foreign policy had damaged national security, and called on Joe Biden to “eliminate ‘America first'” from U.S. strategy.

Mattis resigned in December 2018, citing policy disagreements with the president, who had just ordered a troop drawdown in Syria. In his resignation letter, Mattis said that the U.S. needed to do more to show “respect” to American allies.

In October 2018, then-Secretary Mattis gave a speech in which he said that “when we talk about America first, it’s not America alone.”

In his new article, however, Mattis says the opposite, calling for the “end of America First”:
The United States today is undermining the foundations of an international order manifestly advantageous to U.S. interests, reflecting a basic ignorance of the extent to which both robust alliances and international institutions provide vital strategic depth. In practice, “America first” has meant “America alone.” That has damaged the country’s ability to address problems before they reach U.S. territory and has thus compounded the danger emergent threats pose.

…

In January, when President Joe Biden and his national security team begin to reevaluate U.S. foreign policy, we hope they will quickly revise the national security strategy to eliminate “America first” from its contents, restoring in its place the commitment to cooperative security that has served the United States so well for decades. The best strategy for ensuring safety and prosperity is to buttress American military strength with enhanced civilian tools and a restored network of solid alliances—both necessary to achieving defense in depth. The pandemic should serve as a reminder of what grief ensues when we wait for problems to come to us.
Mattis also says that while the greatest threat America faces today comes from China, the U.S. should seek greater peace, not confrontation. He calls for cooperation with China “in areas of overlapping interests, such as pandemic response, climate change, and nuclear security.”

In June, Mattis gave a statement to The Atlantic in which he called Trump a threat to the Constitution, comparing him to a Nazi and repeating false claims that Trump had used the military to clear peaceful protesters from Lafayette Square.

A column this week by former Defense Secretary James N. Mattis that blasted President Trump‘s “America First” theme did not disclose that Mr. Mattis holds a senior position at the Cohen Group, a firm that dedicates itself to making business deals in China.

Mr. Trump‘s get-tough approach toward China — tariffs and prohibitions on Beijing‘s cyberproducts — is generally counter to the Cohen Group‘s objective of bringing Chinese and U.S. companies together in multimillion dollar deals.

The Cohen Group, founded by former Defense Secretary William Cohen and staffed by a number of former high-ranking government and military leaders, has two of its four overseas offices in China.

Mr. Mattis’ Nov. 23 ForeignAffairs.com column was co-authored with three other national security experts, but it was his name that gave it weight in the news media. The article’s thoughts resemble the Obama administration‘s China approach. It could be a window into how presumptive President-elect Joseph R. Biden pulls back from Mr. Trump‘s hardline.

Mr. Mattis is identified in his column as a former defense secretary and fellow at the Hoover Institution, but not as a senior counselor at the Cohen Group global consulting firm in Washington.

In the column, Mr. Mattis rejects Secretary of State Mike Pompeo‘s campaign of rallying Asian countries against China‘s drive for dominance. Mr. Mattis does not mention China‘s declared economic war against U.S. ally Australia in retaliation for Canberra calling for an international investigation into the origins of the coronavirus.

China has yet to explain and document exactly how the pandemic began in Wuhan, where the virus was first discovered in 2019.

Mr. Mattis wrote, in a broad indictment of Mr. Trump‘s foreign policy: “Crucially, the United States should not press countries to choose outright between the two powers. A ‘with us or against us’ approach plays to China‘s advantage, because the economic prosperity of U.S. allies and partners hinges on strong trade and investment relationships with Beijing. Rather than treating countries as pawns in a great-power competition, a better approach would emphasize common codes of behavior and encourage states to publicly promulgate a vision for their country’s sovereign future and the types of partnerships they need to pursue it.

“It would also expand the cooperative space in which all countries supporting a rules-based order can work together to advance shared interests. Cooperation across different ideological systems is difficult but necessary, and there should be opportunities to cooperate with China in areas of overlapping interests, such as pandemic response, climate change and nuclear security.”

Mr. Mattis urged Mr. Biden to remove “America First” from all foreign policies.

The Cohen Group announced Mr. Mattis’ hiring in September 2019 as a “senior counselor,” calling him a “national treasure.” His photo is prominently featured on its home page. “China is a market of enormous opportunity and complexity,” the firm states. “The Cohen Group’s (TCG) China Practice has a solid record of success with professionals in offices in Beijing, Tianjin and Washington, D.C.

“Building upon decades of experience, on-the-ground management expertise, and longtime personal and professional relationships throughout the region, TCG‘s China Practice helps companies succeed in the Chinese market. TCG enables Fortune 500 companies, as well as small- and medium-sized enterprises, to achieve their commercial goals in China through tailored government, business and media relations strategies.”

Citing a recent “success,” the website said, “TCG facilitated discussions between a global pharmaceutical company and relevant Chinese government entities regarding the regulatory framework for a high-profile drug, resulting in a mutually beneficial solution for both the company and the Chinese healthcare community.”

Mr. Mattis, a highly decorated and respected Marine Corps four-star general who oversaw all Middle East troops as Central Command head, resigned as Mr. Trump‘s defense secretary to protest planned troop withdrawals from Syria.

American forces are backing Syrian rebels fighting Islamic State terrorists. Mr. Trump argues he smashed the ISIS hold on Syrian territory. About 500 American troops remain in Syria.

Robert Gates, a Republican and President Barack Obama’s first defense secretary, has praised Mr. Trump‘s foreign policy.

“At least he has not started any new wars,” Mr. Gates said on “Meet the Press.” “And he has robustly funded the military. … I thought his challenging China was about time.”

Mr. Gates has said that the Western powers welcomed China into the family of nations some 20 years ago and China reacted by violating trade rules to gain advantages.

Led by Mr. Pompeo, the Trump administration unleashed a series of actions against China‘s drive to lead the world. It uses tariffs to rein in what it calls unfair trade practices and calls out China for the illegal theft of U.S. inventions and personal identities and for rampant spying in colleges, businesses and government.

The FBI says it opened numerous counter-intelligence probes into Chinese nationals. It estimates that China has broken into computer networks and stolen the personal information of half the American population.

The Trump administration shut down a Chinese consulate in Houston, calling it nothing more than an intelligence collection hub. Mr. Trump has blocked U.S. businesses from doing deals with Chinese companies supporting the People’s Liberation Army. It has called China‘s telecommunications giant Huawei a spying tool. He has required China‘s propaganda arms in the U.S. to register as foreign agents rather than continue operations as journalists.

Mr. Pompeo and congressional Republicans have accused China of covering up the coronavirus outbreak by telling the world initially that it was not contagious as travelers arrived in the U.S. and Europe where the virus went on to infect millions.

As vice president Mr. Biden was the Obama administration‘s point man on China while his son, Hunter, engaged in networking with Chinese billionaires. He eventually worked out multimillion-dollar deals for himself and uncle James Biden.

A Senate Republican report documented the flow of cash based on Treasury Department suspicious activity reports (SARS) filed by lending institutions because they suspected illegality such as money laundering.

In 2011, Mr. Biden delivered a speech in China as Hunter was making business contacts there, promising to integrate China into American life.

“In order to cement this robust partnership, we have to go beyond close ties between Washington and Beijing, which we’re working on every day, go beyond it to include all levels of government, go beyond it to include classrooms, and laboratories, authentic fields and boardrooms.”

Mr. Biden returned to China in 2013 with Hunter onboard Air Force 2.
I've typed a transcript for you below of the video above:

Lara Logan: A lot of discussion on television about of the politicization of the pandemic and a lot of blame cast on Trump and the GOP for doing that. But what people are ignoring is something really critical that was reported in the Washington Post on the first of May. There's this article and here it is. I have it here. This is not something I often do but this is so significant to me that I wanted to make sure that I had it prinited out. The headline is about technology that was once used to combat ISIS propaganda is being employed by Democratic political action committee, a Super PAC, basically to combat counteract Trump's messaging on the coronavirus and his handling of the coronavirus. This Super PAC has listed the assistance of General Stanley McCrystal who many of your viewers will recognize his name. He has openly stated in this article, there's a whole piece about it, Washington Post has no problem with this. That they're taking a weapon of war that was designed to counter ISIS and al Qaeda, in other words US enemies, and they're using it against the US against American citizens in this country. And they say in their own words to combat online efforts to promote President Trump's handling of coronavirus pandemic. So if you've got a Republican Govenor in Florida who's succeeding that's not a message they want to hear. Do you want to know how they'll combat it? They'll use artificial intelligence and network analysis to map a discussion on the President's claims on social media and then seek to find the most popular counter narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million social influencers across the country. And some of those people will be PAID BY THEM. So I think what people may not understand about this is you're taking a WEAPON OF WAR that the United States developed to use AGAINST ITS FOREIGN ENEMIES and a former US General is using that technology and those tactics with a political action committee and they're USING IT AGAINST to counter Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. That is deeply political and it's also, you can speak to many people in the intelligence community who will tell you that it is also ILLEGAL nevermind UNETHICAL. And that what I think, that's where the heart of the media issue lies over the virus.

USA: Trump Campaign Adviser Carter Page Who Was Illegally Spied On And Had Life Destroyed By The FBI Is Suing James Comey, Andrew McCabe, The FBI, DOJ, The Media For Violating His Rights.

 

Fox Business published November 10, 2020: Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Washington Examiner
written by Jerry Dunleavy, Justice Department Reporter
Tuesday November 10, 2020

Fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said he was “shocked and disappointed” by the “errors and mistakes” in the FBI’s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications seeking the authority to wiretap onetime Trump campaign associate Carter Page.

McCabe, who rose up the FBI ranks after joining the bureau in the mid-1990s and helped lead the FBI’s Trump-Russia team as FBI Director James Comey’s deputy, also testified that he wouldn’t have signed the June 2017 renewal if he knew then what he knows now during testimony before Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham’s committee on Tuesday.

“If you knew then what you know now, would you have signed the warrant application in June 2017 against Carter Page?” Graham asked.

“No, sir,” McCabe replied.

Graham’s committee has already received testimony from former Deputy Attorneys General Rod Rosenstein and Sally Yates this year, both of whom also said they would not have signed off on the FISA warrants against Page if they knew then what they knew at the present. Comey testified in September that he would not have signed off on the FISA applications without a “much fuller” discussion about what was being presented to the FISA court. McCabe approved the fourth and final FISA warrant for the FBI in June 2017 after Comey was fired that May.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s lengthy December report criticized the Justice Department and the FBI for at least 17 “significant errors and omissions” related to the FISA warrants against Page and for the bureau's reliance on British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s discredited and Democrat-funded dossier. Declassified footnotes showed that the FBI was aware that Steele’s dossier might have been compromised by Russian disinformation.

“I was shocked and disappointed at the errors and mistakes that the OIG found. To me, any material misrepresentation or error in a FISA application is unacceptable, period,” McCabe said in his opening statement.

McCabe and Comey pushed to include allegations from Steele’s dossier in the 2017 intelligence community assessment, according to Horowitz's report. The dossier was summarized in a classified appendix to the Russia interference assessment.

Graham asked if he was aware that the CIA had dismissed some of Steele’s claims as “internet rumor.”

“I did not know that at the time, and I don’t know that now,” McCabe claimed.

Horowitz’s December report said that FBI interviews with Steele's main source, revealed to be U.S.-based and Russian-trained lawyer Igor Danchenko, “raised significant questions about the reliability of the Steele election reporting” and cast doubt on some of its biggest claims.

FBI notes of an interview conducted with Danchenko in early 2017 show that he told the bureau that he didn't know where some of the dossier claims attributed to him came from and that his Russian sources never mentioned some of the allegations. Steele’s source told the FBI that Steele mischaracterized at least one of his own Russian source contacts. Danchenko said that much of what he gave to Steele was “word of mouth and hearsay,” that some stemmed from a “conversation that [he] had with friends over beers," and that the most salacious Trump allegations may have been made in “jest.”

Graham asked if McCabe was aware of the FBI’s interviews with Danchenko in January and March of 2017, to which the former FBI official said he was aware. Graham asked if he was told about the “substance” of the interviews, and McCabe said, “Not in detail.” Graham also listed out a host of details the bureau learned from Steele’s main source and asked McCabe if any of that was communicated to him. McCabe said, “Not that I can recall.”

McCabe also told Graham that he didn’t know that the CIA told the FBI in August 2016 that Page had previously been approved as an “operational contact” for the agency.

U.S. Attorney John Durham was tasked by Attorney General William Barr in the spring of 2019 to examine misconduct by federal law enforcement and intelligence officials surrounding the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation. That review later turned into a criminal inquiry, which so far has led to one guilty plea, with former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith admitting that he fraudulently changed the wording of a CIA email to say that Page was “not a source” for the agency.

Graham asked whether McCabe misled the FISA court. McCabe admitted that he had “signed a package that included numerous factual errors or failed to include information that should’ve been brought to the court.” When asked what should be done to him and others at the FBI, McCabe said, “I think our efforts should be focused on figuring out how these errors took place and ensuring that they don’t happen again.” Graham retorted that “that starts with those who committed the problem being held accountable.”

Horowitz released a separate report in 2018 detailing multiple instances in which McCabe “lacked candor” with Comey, FBI investigators, and inspector general investigators about his authorization to leak sensitive information to the Wall Street Journal that revealed the existence of an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation. Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe in March 2018.

The DOJ declined to press charges against McCabe in February, and a federal judge ruled in September that McCabe’s wrongful termination lawsuit could move toward discovery.

USA: Blowing the Whistle on the Whistleblower. John Brennan Assigned Eric Ciaramella To The National Security Council Who Was Part Of Resistance Conspiracy To Impeach President Trump.

The American Spectator
written by Daniel J. Flynn
November 1, 2019

Paul Sperry of RealClearInvestigations wrote the name Eric Ciaramella on Wednesday. Not since a chained, old man uttered “Jehovah” in Life of Brian have so many people reacted with such hostility to hearing a name said.

Discovering that Eric Ciaramella tattled on the president does not rank with learning that Webster shot J. R. or finding D. B. Cooper in Al Capone’s vault. America merely lacked a name. We knew the type.

Ciaramella graduated from a high school that costs $30,000 a year to attend, received his undergraduate degree from Yale, and obtained a master’s from Harvard. A few years after graduation from that tony private high school, the youngster estimated to its alumni magazine of trips to 28 different countries (he admits he lost count).

When others provide you with the best education and pricey junkets to obscure parts of the globe, not getting the president you asked for might come as a terrible blow. So Ciaramella sought to rectify this injustice by anonymously peddling secondhand gossip — false in large part — designed to instigate another round of impeachment discussions. He did so by first going to Congressman Adam Schiff. When you seek to report a federal crime, go to the FBI. When you seek to gin up political trouble, go to Adam Schiff.

This came as the latest instance of the 33-year-old CIA employee using his government position for partisan, political ends.

Ciaramella absconded from the National Security Council after widespread suspicion arose that he leaked information for the purpose of damaging the president he ostensibly served. At that time, Mike Cernovich wrote in an article that Medium.com later removed that “Ciaramella helped draft Susan Rice’s anti-Trump talking points before the Inauguration.” Cernovich described him as “the main force pushing Trump-Russia conspiracy theories.”

Paul Sperry notes that Ciaramella circumvented his chain of command in telling another agency of a meeting between Trump and Russians in the Oval Office a day after James Comey’s firing. This email, referenced in the Mueller report, effectively launched a “Putin fired Comey” narrative depicting the president of the United States as a marionette controlled by the Kremlin.

“And Ciaramella worked with a Democratic National Committee operative who dug up dirt on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election,” Sperry reports, “inviting her into the White House for meetings, former White House colleagues said. The operative, Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American who supported Hillary Clinton, led an effort to link the Republican campaign to the Russian government. ‘He knows her. He had her in the White House,’ said one former co-worker, who requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.”

Politico detailed the collusion between Ciaramella’s DNC operative pal and Ukraine in a lengthy report by Kenneth Vogel, now with the New York Times, and David Stern, who resides in Kiev. “Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office,” they write. “They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.”

Why did John Brennan assign Ciaramella to the National Security Council? What role, if any, did Ciaramella take in this particular collusion involving Chalupa and a foreign government to influence the outcome of a U.S. presidential election? Why did Sen. Rand Paul describe Ciaramella as Vice President Joe Biden’s point man on Ukraine?

The lawyers representing Ciaramella describe him as an “apolitical, civil servant,” insisting “the identity of the whistleblower is irrelevant.” This is a lie. The whistleblower’s identity matters precisely because his past partisan behavior, unbecoming of a civil servant, grabbed the attention of journalists and coaxed the White House to force him out — all several years before Paul Sperry identified him as the “whistleblower.”

“Disclosure of the name of any person who may be suspected to be the whistleblower places that individual and their family in great physical danger,” his lawyers maintain. “Any physical harm the individual and/or their family suffers as a result of disclosure means that the individuals and publications reporting such names will be personally liable for that harm.”

Liable for the harm to the leaker or for the harm to the impeachment scheme he advances?

The CIA, which placed not a single human intelligence source on the ground prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, managed to infiltrate the White House. To make America great again the CIA needs to understand its job as spying on America’s enemies and not Americans.

Call this a coup d’état. Call it a putsch. Call him Eric Ciaramella. Just don’t call him “apolitical” without an accompanying laugh track.

For a town that leaks like a sieve, Washington has done an astonishingly effective job keeping from the American public the name of the anonymous “whistleblower" who triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump — even though his identity is an open secret inside the Beltway.

More than two months after the official filed his complaint, pretty much all that’s known publicly about him is that he is a CIA analyst who at one point was detailed to the White House and is now back working at the CIA.

But the name of a government official fitting that description — Eric Ciaramella — has been raised privately in impeachment depositions, according to officials with direct knowledge of the proceedings, as well as in at least one open hearing held by a House committee not involved in the impeachment inquiry. Fearing their anonymous witness could be exposed, Democrats this week blocked Republicans from asking more questions about him and intend to redact his name from all deposition transcripts.

RealClearInvestigations is disclosing the name because of the public’s interest in learning details of an effort to remove a sitting president from office. Further, the official's status as a “whistleblower” is complicated by his being a hearsay reporter of accusations against the president, one who has “some indicia of an arguable political bias … in favor of a rival political candidate" -- as the Intelligence Community Inspector General phrased it circumspectly in originally fielding his complaint.

Federal documents reveal that the 33-year-old Ciaramella, a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House, previously worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump who helped initiate the Russia “collusion” investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.

Further, Ciaramella (pronounced char-a-MEL-ah) left his National Security Council posting in the White House’s West Wing in mid-2017 amid concerns about negative leaks to the media. He has since returned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

“He was accused of working against Trump and leaking against Trump,” said a former NSC official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.

Also, Ciaramella huddled for “guidance” with the staff of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, including former colleagues also held over from the Obama era whom Schiff’s office had recently recruited from the NSC. Schiff is the lead prosecutor in the impeachment inquiry.

And Ciaramella worked with a Democratic National Committee operative who dug up dirt on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, inviting her into the White House for meetings, former White House colleagues said. The operative, Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American who supported Hillary Clinton, led an effort to link the Republican campaign to the Russian government. “He knows her. He had her in the White House,” said one former co-worker, who requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.

USA: President Trump Pardoned General Flynn Because He Should Have Never Been Prosecuted And Had Life Destroyed Because Obama Admin Set Up False Accusation Against Him To Get To Trump.

The Epoch Times
written by Lee Smith
Friday November 27, 2020

President Donald Trump’s pardon of (ret) Gen. Michael Flynn closes a dark chapter that few could have expected to see unfold here in the world’s oldest and greatest democracy. The full account of Flynn’s story appears rather to have been excerpted from the history of a totalitarian regime as it first became aware of its appetite for absolute power. At least there is clarity now. After watching the fate of Trump’s first national security advisor buffeted by the institutions designed to ensure the rule of law, Americans can no longer afford to ignore the forces lining up against them.

Flynn deserved to be cleared through the justice system. But that route was foreclosed by the extraordinary and unconstitutional efforts of the judge presiding over his case, Emmet Sullivan, to prolong the prosecution after the Department of Justice filed a motion to withdraw its spurious case against Flynn for lying to the FBI. Government documents released in the spring showed that he had been framed by senior DOJ and FBI officials under the direction of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. With the 2020 election outcome uncertain and a potential Biden administration certain to use any means at hand to target the Trump circle, the safest option was pardoning an innocent man.

To the half of the country whose information stream is controlled by tech oligarchs, not even an act of God would’ve cleared Flynn’s name. It was the media, after all, that served as a platform for Obama officials to advance the Russiagate conspiracy theory and libel the retired three-star general as a Kremlin “asset.”

On Jan. 12, 2017, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius published the leak of a classified intercept of a call between Trump’s incoming national security advisor and the Russian ambassador to the United States. A Washington Post news article a month later was also sourced to the intercept. Leaking foreign intelligence intercepts is a felony. Because only a limited number of officials have access to documents classified at that level, identifying the criminals would not be difficult. But after almost four years, no one has been charged with the crime.

Obama deputies across the previous administration had their knives out for Flynn even before Trump was inaugurated. The FBI knew that the former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency would be able to find evidence of its illegal spying operation against the Trump campaign. Senior CIA officials worried that Flynn’s proposed reforms of the intelligence bureaucracy would shrink its budgets and prestige. Documents declassified in the spring showed that at least 40 Obama lieutenants had Flynn under surveillance, evidence that the former president had promoted a culture of spying on Americans for political purposes.

Obama himself had his reasons for going after Flynn. He was obsessed with Flynn. He told Trump not to hire him. Flynn was a vocal opponent of the Iran nuclear deal, Obama’s signature foreign policy initiative. To protect Obama’s legacy, Flynn had to go. After he left the White House in February 2017, special counsel prosecutors threatened to indict his son unless he pled guilty. The FBI agents who interviewed Flynn said he hadn’t lied. When the DOJ moved to withdraw its case this May, Obama said publicly that Flynn should be charged with perjury. Sullivan appointed a former judge to make Obama’s case against Flynn. With every motion Flynn’s lawyer Sidney Powell filed, the court proceedings attracted more followers, watching and listening as the justice system was twisted in real time to satisfy the vindictive whims of the forty-fourth president.

Friends of the retired general say that he will feel free to speak more openly now. The last several months he has written a number of articles not only confirming his political commitments—his support of the president and the America First agenda—but also defining a spiritual approach to the crisis now roiling the republic.

“To all Americans, what we choose to do in this life should never be stopped by fear,” Flynn wrote after the pardon was issued. “Instead, we need to embrace the uncertainty and accept the risk that comes with sacrifice and then work to overcome the sheer magnitude of life’s challenges, especially during this crucible of our nation’s history. Our very survival as a nation is at stake.”

Flynn’s case underscores the new reality—the institutions that were designed to serve the American people, from the FBI and DOJ to the press and the judiciary, have now been turned against them. It appears that the energy required for the true reckoning and repair of our current state will derive its strength, as Flynn’s statements suggest, not only from political sources but also the moral and religious convictions on which the country was founded.

And so as this chapter closes, a new one begins. This will involve the essential struggle against the increasingly ambitious and comprehensive campaign of desecration that has targeted the human spirit and body, our symbols and history, and all Americans who, like Michael Flynn, prize most life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

James B. Comey: “No … .And I saw that in the media. I don’t know what — maybe someone misunderstood something I said. I didn’t believe that and didn’t say that.” — exchange on “Special Report with Bret Baier,” April 26, 2018
