More K. T. McFarland On The Big Picture

K. T. McFarland has been speaking out about the Flynn case and has written a book about her own experiences with the FBI and Team Mueller. Here's the brief Wikpedia bio:

Kathleen Troia "K. T." McFarland (born Kathleen M. Troia[1] on July 22, 1951) is a former U.S. government official, and political commentator. She served as Deputy National Security Advisor under Michael Flynn for the first four months of the Trump administration. She was asked to step down by Flynn's successor H. R. McMaster; news of her pending nomination as U.S. Ambassador to Singapore was reported at the same time. President Trump nominated her in May 2017; she withdrew it in February 2018 due to concerns around her answers related to links between Trump associates and Russian officials, in particular about discussions between Flynn and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Obviously McFarland was in a position to know the lay of the land in Washington in the national security community, and from her experience can speak with authority on what the Intel Community was seeking to do to Flynn and Trump. She certainly should have good sources now, so what she has to say is of interest. As yesterday, she concentrates mostly on the big picture in this interview with Bill Hemmer. Notably, McFarland continues to point at the Obama White House:

Our Broken Criminal Justice System

There have been a variety of articles lately about our broken criminal justice system--how it often doesn't serve justice at all. There's a lot that could be said, and has been said. In recent comments I pointed out the role that the terrible expense of defending oneself can play--not an original thought! K. T. McFarland gave an interview recently that, by recounting her experience with the Team Mueller Witchhunt, encapsulates much of what others have said. Here is a fairly lengthy excerpt--mostly just a transcript--of her remarks on WMAL radio. In the interview McFarland describes her experience with the FBI and the prosecutors, the long hours of questioning without the benefit of access to the documentation that she had herself created. I like this example from another interview she gave to Fox:

... she was questioned about a 90-minute period spent in the president's Mar-a-Lago Club in which she didn't have any recorded correspondence or conversation in her phone records. That's when, McFarland said, they asked her whether that was the time she met with Trump to get marching orders.
"I looked at them and I said, 'No, that was actually when I was having lunch with my husband and I put my cell phone away,' she recalled. "Look, they had absolutely targeted me for a perjury crime or to link Trump and until I got the best lawyer in the country to come along with me, they really thought they had me."

In addition, in the longer interview, she goes into the nature of the Deep State establishment and its attitude toward the subject population of this country.

To set the stage for the rest of this, McFarland was Deputy National Security Adviser from January 20, 2017 to about May 19, 2017--when the Mueller Witchhunt began. She had been brought in by Michael Flynn and then was bounced by Deep State operative McMaster. When she left, she of course left all official documentation and equipment behind--phones, etc. Mueller's thugs had all that, transcripts of emails, texts, etc., etc. She didn't. So:
