The Tennessean Editorial: Mayor Megan Barry Must Resign for Nashville’s Sake (VIDEO)

WHEN YOU HAVE LOST THE LIBERAL TENNESSEAN, ITS TIME TO RESIGN …

The Tennessean, the liberal newspaper of record of Nashville, TN who endorsed the mayor, is now asking her to resign. Mayor Megan Barry’s extramarital affair has not only been an embarrassment to Nashville and herself, has caused another marriage to go to divorce, but also most likely broke laws and her own ethics standards. There are four current investigations into the actions of Mayor Barry, one of which is looking into there was misappropriation of funds where her boy toy, now retired Metro Nashville Police Department Sgt. Rob Forrest, was paid tax payer dollars and claimed to have been working when having their affair.

A leader must put the interests and the needs of the people she serves above her own.

We thought Nashville Mayor Megan Barry was doing just that.

However, it has become abundantly clear in recent weeks that this is not the case after the revelation of her affair with her subordinate and former head of security, retired Metro Nashville Police Department Sgt. Rob Forrest.

This is a confounding and disappointing situation:

How he could rack up more than $170,000 in overtime pay over three years, which included extended domestic and overseas trips with her alone and overtime charges in Nashville for hours after the mayor’s calendar showed official events of the day had ended.

How her Chief Operating Officer Rich Riebeling let the Mayor’s Office approve and pay for security detail travel requests – and how those trips grew from one with just Barry and Forrest alone to nine more after Chief of Staff Debby Dale Mason started supervising those requests.

How despite promises of cooperation with authorities and transparency with the public, Barry and her administrative team have only done so when forced to. Several public records requests are still unfulfilled with the mayor’s office citing a “deliberative process” exemption.

On Feb. 4, the Sunday after Barry confessed to her affair publicly, the Tennessean Editorial Board chose to rebuke her in an editorial entitled “Megan Barry betrayed Nashville.”

The truth of the matter is, Tennessee may be a red state, but Nashville is as liberal as it gets. Mayor Megan Barry thinks she is just going to go on business as usual. However, that is far from the case. What Mayor Barry has not figured out because she is surrounded by “yes” individuals is that it is the LEFT that is now against her and her political career is over. I personally know people who actually voted and campaigned for Mayor Barry and they want her gone. Even women on the LEFT think she is an embarrassment. We have not even got to the possible crimes that she has committed where her boy toy security guard was paid a ridiculous amount of overtime while having this affair. Rob Forrest was on something, I don’t believe it was the job. All things considered, when the liberal newspaper of Nashville comes out against the liberal mayor that they endorsed … MEGAN, HAVE SOME DIGNITY WITH WHAT IS LEFT AND RESIGN.

Megan Barry has debased her leadership position, acting selfishly and deceitfully for nearly two years in a secret affair with her head of security.

She shocked and angered the community. She tore apart two families.

This would not be any of our business if she were an ordinary citizen. And, to be clear, the relationship between Barry and former Metro Nashville Police Sgt. Robert Forrest Jr. was consensual. It was not sexual harassment.

The Tennessean endorsed her in 2015. We commended Barry, a Democrat and former corporate ethics and compliance executive, for her empathy, her inclusion and her accessibility.

Mark Levin Radio Show 2/2/18 … Brian Mudd of WJNO fills in & Presents a 30 Point Fact Sheet that is Undisputed from the 4 Page FISA Memo (Audio)

Brian Mudd does a masterful job of presenting the undisputed facts …

As Brian Mudd states, “There are two sides to every story and one side to every fact, and if the premise of everything isn’t right then everything built on it is false.” Mudd comes up with a 30 count indictment off the 4 page memo. No one is disputing many of the facts that were laid out in the 4 page FISA memo. The 30 points begin at about the  7:00 mark of the video. The facts are quite amazing in their totality.

Sean Hannity 1/30/18 – Fox News: McCabe Out at the FBI … Drain the Swamp!!! (VIDEO)

MUST SEE … THE TRUTH IS FINALLY COMING OUT

Would the liberal MSM be reporting this corruption in the FBI and DOJ if this was bad for the GOP? It is criminal that the MSM has now become nothing more than a propaganda arm for the Democrat party. The Obama administration weaponized the FBI and DOJ, just like the did the IRS. A special council is needed and the swamp needs to be drained and individuals need to go to prison.

Evidence Suggests a Massive Scandal is Brewing at the FBI

THE REAL COLLUSION WAS THE CONSPIRACY TO PREVENT TRUMP FROM BEING ELECTED AND THEN TRYING TO TAKE HIM DOWN AFTER HE WAS …

We may want to file the OPED by Michael Goodwin of The NY Post under the category, gee ya think? The scandal at the FBI, DOJ and aided by Obama admin officials is nothing short of a full scale “deep state” operating outside the lines of the United States government. Who needs J. Edgar Hoover when you have Robert Mueller, James Comey and Peter Strzok. Had this been done by Republicans, the MSM would be calling for these people to be fired, brought up on charges and marched off to prison. However, this scandal is going to be so bad, even the Democrats and their propaganda machine media won’t be able to save them this time. During Watergate the issue was the case of the missing 18 1/2 minutes of tapes, now we have 5 months of missing texts from the FBI and the LEFT acts like, move on, nothing to see here.

Special Report With Bret Baier Jan 23, 2018- Interview with Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI)

During the financial crisis, the federal government bailed out banks it declared “too big to fail.” Fearing their bankruptcy might trigger economic Armageddon, the feds propped them up with taxpayer cash.

Something similar is happening now at the FBI, with the Washington wagons circling the agency to protect it from charges of corruption. This time, the appropriate tag line is “too big to believe.”

Yet each day brings credible reports suggesting there is a massive scandal involving the top ranks of America’s premier law enforcement agency. The reports, which feature talk among agents of a “secret society” and suddenly missing text messages, point to the existence both of a cabal dedicated to defeating Donald Trump in 2016 and of a plan to let Hillary Clinton skate free in the classified email probe.

If either one is true — and I believe both probably are — it would mean FBI leaders betrayed the nation by abusing their powers in a bid to pick the president.

More support for this view involves the FBI’s use of the Russian dossier on Trump that was paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. It is almost certain that the FBI used the dossier to get FISA court warrants to spy on Trump associates, meaning it used the opposition research of the party in power to convince a court to let it spy on the candidate of the other party — likely without telling the court of the dossier’s political link.

Even worse, there is growing reason to believe someone in President Barack Obama’s administration turned over classified information about Trump to the Clinton campaign

Rep. Matt Gaetz: I Believe This Will Not End Only With Firings … I Believe There are People Who Will Go to Jail (VIDEO)

WOW … #MUELLERGATE, #RELEASE THE MEMO!!! 

To borrow a phrase … BOMBSHELL TONIGHT!!!! The House Intelligence Committee passed the motion along party lines Thursday to make the classified report alleging extensive ‘FISA Abuse’ related to the controversial dossier available to all House members. This is a bombshell!!! Following this motion, Rep. DeSantis said the classified report compiled by the House Intelligence Committee was “deeply troubling” and raises serious questions as it relates to the ‘Russian collusion’ investigation.

During the interview below with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Rep. Matt Gaetz said, I Believe This Will Not End Only With Firings, I believe people will go to jail.”

A review of a classified document outlining what is described as extensive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse was made available to all House members Thursday and the revelations could lead to the removal of senior officials in the FBI and Department of Justice, several sources with knowledge of the document stated. These sources say the report is “explosive,” stating they would not be surprised if it leads to the end of Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel investigation into President Trump and his associates.

The House Intelligence Committee passed the motion along party lines Thursday to make the classified report alleging extensive ‘FISA Abuse’ related to the controversial dossier available to all House members. The report contains information regarding the dossier that alleges President Trump and members of his team colluded with the Russians in the 2016 presidential election. Some members of the House viewed the document in a secure room Thursday.

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., offered the motion on Thursday to make the Republican majority-authored report available to the members.

“The document shows a troubling course of conduct and we need to make the document available, so the public can see it,” said a senior government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the document. “Once the public sees it, we can hold the people involved accountable in a number of ways.”
The government official said that after reading the document “some of these people should no longer be in the government.”

The document also apparently outlines “several problematic” issues with how FISA warrants were “packaged, and used” state several sources with knowledge of the report.
