You better get ready for ... war." Across the country, radicals are openly planning for the next stage of their movement, and notably, the Democratic establishment is not part of their plans. Despite the talk of a "Big Tent Party," socialists are riding high on a surge of support and talking purges and revolution.

An 18-month legal battle swung in a pro-Second Amendment direction Tuesday after a federal appeals court ruled against New Jersey’s scheme to threaten firearm manufacturers with bankruptcy.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit denied New Jersey’s effort to block a suit by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) against a law allowing the state to sue gun stores and firearm manufacturers in an opinion released Tuesday. The three-judge panel consisting of two Trump appointees and a Clinton appointee on senior status ruled that the six lawsuits the state had filed under A1765, a 2022 law that targeted the firearms industry, gave the trade group standing to challenge the law.

Two FBI agents' long-secret handwritten notes of their 2017 interview with Mike Flynn have been declassified and highlight fresh discrepancies with the bureau's official documents that were used to criminally prosecute President Donald Trump's first national security advisor and pressure him to reach a plea deal nearly a decade ago.

The notes from former Special Agents Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka were released Wednesday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force at a time when federal prosecutors are ramping up a grand jury investigation into whether the FBI's probe of Russia collusion amounted to a criminal conspiracy to falsely impugn Trump and his supporters during the 2016 election and its aftermath. 

The contemporaneous notes show differences between what the agents wrote down when they interviewed Flynn on Jan. 24, 2017, and what was recorded in the official typed summary of the interview, known as an FD-302, that was entered into the FBI system more than 20 days later and later used to underpin his prosecution.
...
According to prosecutors, Flynn “falsely stated and represented” to agents that he “did not ask the [Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak] to refrain from escalating the situation in response to sanctions the United States had imposed against Russia” for alleged 2016 election interference.

On December 20, 2016, the same day that Flynn had at least one call with Kislyak, the Obama administration expelled 35 Russian diplomats and authorized the government to respond to Russian cyber operations.

But Pientka's handwritten notes contain a tantalizing notation apparently attributed to Flynn in the interview about his conversation with Kislyak: "Hey, don't do anything."
...
Though Flynn initially pleaded guilty to the charges, he later filed to withdraw his plea under new representation. His new lawyer, Sidney Powell, argued that the FD-302, which formed the basis for the charges against her client, had been altered by Strzok, one of the agents who interviewed Flynn, and Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer who did not attend the interview.

In the pair’s text messages, which were publicly exposed in 2020, Strzok and Page discussed how Strzok had made significant edits to the FD-302. In fact, Strzok told Page he was “trying not to completely re-write” the summary because of its poor original state. Page also provided edits, the text messages show.
...
Strzok and Pientka’s FD-302 file records show that Flynn said that he did not remember discussing with Kislyak the expulsion of diplomats and new sanctions. According to the agents, when asked whether he asked the Russians to refrain from escalating with their own sanctions, Flynn is said to have responded, “Not really. I don’t remember. It wasn’t, ‘Don’t do anything.’”

But, the wording departs from how one of the agents first memorialized Flynn’s response in the interview more than 20 days earlier. According to Pientka's handwritten memo, Flynn was asked whether he had any recollection of such a conversation with Kislyak and he replied, “Not really. I don’t remember. Hey don’t do anything.”

The agent separately records that Flynn said there was no “long drawn out” discussion “about don’t do anything.” But, the notes show that Flynn did not tell agents that he never spoke with Kislyak and never asked him to refrain from escalating with further expulsions and the sanctions, which prosecutors later accused him of lying about.

Breathless reports about the Amy Acton "attack" made it sound like a crazed gunman injured multiple people trying to accost the poor Ohio gubernatorial candidate.

“While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people,” campaign communications director Addie Bullock said. “Dr. Acton and Eric are grateful for the swift and decisive action of law enforcement and are praying for the recovery of those injured.”
...
A prosecutor is setting the record straight, and it backs up the police account: Acton was never really in danger.

Mahoning County Prosecutor Lynn Maro said Tuesday that the suspect, 38-year-old Patrick Havas, appeared to have entered the Democrat Party tent at the Canfield Fair because he wanted to ask Acton questions — and investigators have so far found no evidence that he threatened her.

“He appeared in that tent wanting to ask questions,” Maro told the court during Havas' arraignment.

Havas consented to investigators searching his cellphone, according to Maro, and a keyword search turned up no threats against Acton or evidence that he had been fixated on the candidate.
...
But the picture has become murkier as investigators have gathered evidence.

Havas entered the tent while recording with his cellphone and began moving through the crowd toward Acton. Two people were knocked to the ground during the ensuing confrontation before Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers assigned to Acton's security detail intervened.
...
And according to the prosecutor, video investigators currently possess doesn't show Havas getting particularly close to Acton.

The footage “shows him walking into the tent, recording, and moving forward, calling out her name,” Maro said. “Somebody in her security comes forward, and then his phone is either dropped or tousled, and that's all we have.”
...
Here is where it gets a little weird. Maro said investigators have been told the Acton campaign asked attendees to stop recording shortly before the confrontation.

As a result, the only video investigators currently have of the critical moments was recorded by Havas himself.
...
“The information we've received is that the Acton camp requested individuals stop recording shortly before this incident occurred,” Maro said.

“So, at this point, the only video we have is the defendant's. And what's that showing certainly doesn't support filing felony charges.”
