My colleague John Solomon and I went on a hunt looking for documents that would back the supporting agent’s case from people that were involved in the investigation. And what we discovered was that Michael Flynn and McCabe had it out several years ago over Supervisory Special Agent Robyn Gritz. She was and is still considered by many to be one of the premier counterterrorism experts of the U.S. She was at the top of the hostage rescue team. She worked on the Robert Levinson case in Iran. She’s worked on numerous other cases, including Daniel Pearl. But she butted heads with now-FBI Director Andrew McCabe – she filed a sexual discrimination lawsuit against the FBI. McCabe and others went after her, while Michael Flynn came to her defense and so did many other people like Rear Admiral Brian Losey, who was then Head of Naval Warfare group. She had a slew of people backing her up. But she ended up leaving the FBI. Believe it or not, she ended up working at Macy’s for a few years at the makeup counter because she couldn’t get a job. She felt that McCabe and others had basically put the kibosh on her. Her EEOC case against the FBI is still ongoing. Now she’s back working in another capacity as an expert in terrorism. But when we started to uncover these documents, we realized that Michael Flynn’s intervention on her behalf really rubbed McCabe the wrong way. He went after him. In fact, the FBI went so far as to try to stop his actual testimony that he was giving on behalf of Robyn Gritz. At the
time, he was head of the Defense Intelligence Agency. He wrote this commendable letter for her on his letterhead and it appears by all the people that we’ve spoken to that this is when Andrew McCabe really had it out for Michael Flynn. Fast-forward, we have Andy McCabe who’s in charge of the Russia investigation. We’re also breaking a number of stories regarding his role with that in the upcoming weeks. But we have Andrew McCabe, and now he sees Michael Flynn in his line of sight...

What we can see is a very politicized bureaucratic – some people have it called it the swamp at work here in Washington, D.C.
We documented this with facts and with testimony given on behalf of Gritz and others. In fact, we interviewed Gritz. She hadn’t done an interview in quite a while. We also spoke with Rear Admiral Losey who backed everything he said about her. And what we can see is a very politicized bureaucratic – some people have it called it the swamp at work here in Washington, D.C. Q: I know you’ve been on the Sean Hannity Show a lot, both radio and TV, with the stories that you and John Solomon have been breaking. Tell us a bit about what your role has been in bringing to light the allegations of surveillance done for political reasons while President Obama was still in office.
