LIAR: ‘I was aware’, Biden admits he knew about FBI’s Flynn investigation moments after denial

19

He is a liar. He has dementia. He is a pervert. He is soft on China. He is soft on Iran. He will appease the Palestinian Authority and Hamas. He also knew about the attempted take down of General Flynn. What else will the MSM allow Joe Biden to get away with? It’s disgusting!

‘I was aware’: Biden admits he knew about FBI’s Flynn investigation moments after denial

By Washington Examiner, May 12, 2020

Story continues below advertisement

After first denying that he knew anything about the FBI investigation into retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Joe Biden corrected himself when pressed during a Tuesday morning interview.

He changed course after host George Stephanopoulos noted his presence at a high-profile Oval Office meeting in the final days of the Obama administration, during which officials discussed intercepted contacts between Flynn and a Russian envoy. Disclosures about that meeting have prompted scrutiny over the former vice president’s role in the eventual ouster of President Trump’s first national security adviser.

Biden audibly scoffed on ABC’s Good Morning America as Stephanopoulos asked what the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee knew about an early 2017 investigation into Flynn and whether there was anything improper done by the Obama administration.

“I know nothing about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn,” Biden said. “This is all about diversion. This is a game this guy plays all the time. The country is in crisis. … He should stop trying to always divert attention from the real concerns of the American people.”

But Stephanopoulos followed up, noting that Biden was reported to be in attendance at a Jan. 5, 2017, meeting where he and former President Barack Obama “were briefed” on the FBI’s plan to interview Flynn about his conversation with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition period.

“I thought you asked me whether or not I had anything to do with him being prosecuted,” Biden replied, after fidgeting with his earpiece. “I was aware that there was, that they asked for an investigation, but that’s all I know about it.”

The Jan. 5 meeting is known to have focused on the Flynn tapes, but it is not known whether officials discussed the FBI’s plan to question Flynn as Stephanopoulos suggested.

Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates told Robert Mueller’s special counsel team she first learned of the Flynn recordings from Obama himself following a White House meeting about the intelligence community assessment attended by Yates, Biden, former FBI Director James Comey, then-CIA Director John Brennan, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, then-national security adviser Susan Rice, and others. Obama asked Yates and Comey to stay behind with Rice and Biden when the meeting concluded.

LIAR: ‘I was aware’ Interesting question. Maybe Biden forgot completely what he just said, dementia does that to people. So to paraphrase:
Position 1: “I know nothing about the moves to investigate Michael Flynn”
Position 2: I was briefed about the FBI’s plan to interview Flynn
Biden may not have remembered what he had just said.

Reminds me of an old joke:
Patient: Doc, you have to help me, I don’t know what’s wrong, I can’t remember things from one moment to the next!
Doctor: Hmm, well, how long have you had this problem?
Patient: What problem?
————
There is an element of truth in that joke, and dementia can actually do that to people.

OOPS: The FBI leaks name of the helper who directly supported the 9/11 hijackers, a Saudi Embassy official named Mussaed Ahmed al-Jarrah, a mid-level Saudi Foreign Ministry official who was assigned to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C., in 1999 and 2000.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-fbi-accidentally-releases-name-of-saudi-official-suspected-of-directing-support-for-9-11-attack
” The court filing from Jill Sanborn, the assistant director of the FBI’s counterterrorism division] says in one instance that it involves “any and all records referring to or relating to Jarrah.”

The reference is to Mussaed Ahmed al-Jarrah, a mid-level Saudi Foreign Ministry official who was assigned to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C., in 1999 and 2000. His duties apparently included overseeing the activities of Ministry of Islamic Affairs employees at Saudi-funded mosques and Islamic centers within the United States.

Relatively little is known about Jarrah, but according to former embassy employees, he reported to the Saudi ambassador in the United States (at the time Prince Bandar), and that he was later reassigned to the Saudi mission in Morocco. His current whereabouts are unknown but he is believed to be in Saudi Arabia.”

My comment: This smells like “News Management” to me. The reporter who wrote this is Michael Isikoff, a deep state hack who was very involved in the Obama-gate scandal that is now unraveling. Was this ‘revelation’ designed to distract from the current Obama/Biden troubles?

Good points. One of the problems with dementia is that they can’t remember what lies they told previously.

With all that is going on as related to the political motivations of our FBI, as it involved Flynn and the fraudulent Russian probe which was intended to unseat Trump, all of of which was so actively and wrongfully pursued by the media and Democratic party functionaries in Congress, we now most likely will be dealing with a Democratic candidate for the job of POTUS who is clearly entering some stage of senility (Dementia or Alzheimer’s). This country is on the verge of bankruptcy; yet the policies of the Democratic Party intend to hand out money that we do not have and to buy votes by using whatever taxpayer money enables them to hand out money to non-citizens, which strikes me as clearly inappropriate and unjustified. As we presently fight to save this country from the plaque of the virus, the democrats are putting before us a choice of a candidate with serious mental issues, who has shown himself to be a lover of China, as is his kid. Although you can accuse me of being paranoid, I believe that keeping secret the virus from us while allowing people from around the world to travel to and return with the virus was somehow intended by the Chinese Communist Party to enable them to take steps towards world domination; since we all know China intends to unseat us as a military and economic power, and we all should know that Biden and his party would not know how to be tough with that country, all of which leaves me frustrated with our government and those within the system known as the “swamp.” I can only hope that the reasonable citizens of this country will see through the folly of the false “Trump Syndrome,” which is the banner and policy of the Democratic Party and liberal media, and overwhelmingly reelect Trump as he is the only candidate with “smarts” to save us from those fools.

Is he wearing some kind of ear-piece? Towards the end of the clip he’s fiddling with his ear. On the other hand, maybe it’s classic body-language displayed for when you are lying.

FAST FORWARD: Bidet will be fading away this month and next quicker than his memory, and Hillary will gallup to the rescue of her beleaguered band of Commiecrats. That’s the plan. Little Mikey Bloomberg and Emperor Xi will give her all the money she needs to buy the election. We won’t allow it and civil war will be raging across the land this time next year.

Liar liar liar. This effort to disrupt and unseat trump was initiated at the very top. The heads of the Agencies involved knew that the players at the White House were together to use the “insurance policy” that Strzok bragged was in place to GET TRUMP and provide for the ruination of Flynn.

All over the world people like me, foreigners, are looking at this Joe Biden horse’s arse and we are wondering what kind of morons entertain putting up this liar and babbling imbecile for the presidency. This is undoubtedly as idiotic as Canadians choosing an empty barrel like Justin Trudeau. Listen to Biden, his opening diatribe is pure political nonsense, he wanted to denigrate the president. The second part exposes him as utterly wanting intellectually. The man is a total dullard, an intellectual microbe, he really doesn’t know whether he is Arthur or Martha.
