UPDATED: Why The Michael Flynn Case Is Potentially So Important

The reason the Michael Flynn case is so important is because it potentially gives John Durham a hook not only into all the major players in the Russia Hoax, but also the fake impeachment. Let me repeat that: ALL the major players.

Why was the Deep State so intent on silencing Michael Flynn? There were three interrelated reasons.

1. Flynn, as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), had written a paper that exposed the foreign policy establishment of the Deep State--and the policy of Obama--as directly connected to the rise of ISIS. The United States was supporting radical jihadists. This provided Obama and all those in the top levels of his administration who were connected with national security a reason to wish to silence Flynn.

2. Flynn, as head of DIA, had sought to transform the agency into a much more proactive collector of intelligence--in effect, to make it a competitor with the CIA. To say that James Clapper and John Brennan wanted Flynn punished and excluded forever from any position of influence is putting the matter mildly.

3. Flynn, a longtime insider in the national security and intelligence world, had an insiders knowledge not only of the institutions concerned with national security matters but of many of the major players. The list goes on.

These would be the people urging DoJ and FBI to do something about Flynn. Something drastic, to silence him. The investigation and prosecution accomplished that. Who was involved?

At DoJ it's a long list. Investigating a former General and former head of DIA as an agent for Russia is a very big deal. It didn't happen without involvement of everyone at the top levels. Loretta Lynch. The AG had to be in on it. Sally Yates. Mary McCord--yes, she as part of it, before she went on to become the principle legal counsel advising Michael Atkinson and Adam Schiff on impeachment matters. Yes, it's not impossible that Durham could end up there. Rod Rosenstein--that goes without saying. He supervised the whole Mueller Witchhunt and specifically authorized significant matters, like, permitting Mueller/Weissmann to target Michael Flynn, Jr.

Team Mueller is clearly in Durham's crosshairs. I've speculated in the past that Durham may feel he has unfinished business with Mueller, going back to Durham's thwarted investigation of Mueller's corruption in Boston. Andrew Weissmann would have been behind all the decisions and tactics deployed against Flynn. Also lower level prosecutors like Brandon Van Grack, Jeannie Rhee, Zainab Ahmad.

At the FBI Peter Stzok is a small fish compared to the top two--James Comey and Andrew McCabe, along with their legal counsels, James Baker and Lisa Page. And of course many more.

The New York Times says Durham is even probing Grand Jury witnesses about David Ignatius, recipient of FBI leaks about Flynn. Could a journalist be a part of a criminal conspiracy? Why not?

All of these people and more were involved in the false prosecution of Flynn to one degree or another. All can potentially be jammed up by Durham with regard to the Flynn case, and then required to cooperate about all the rest of the Russia Hoax. And possibly much more having to do with the weaponizing of the national security establishment against President Trump.

Whether Durham ever gets to the total end of that road of course remains to be seen. But if I'm a betting guy, I say Durham right now is loaded for bear.

Interesting times lie ahead.

UPDATE: If the case against Flynn is dismissed, Flynn will be free to talk as much as he wants. Think about that!
