KT McFarland was so “beaten down” and “traumatized” by the Mueller investigation, she fled to Scotland “to make sense of it all. She has a book coming out, Revolution, Trump, Washington, and ‘We the People’, that describes her harrowing experience with the Mueller team who tried to set a perjury trap for her.
McFarland, who served under Trump’s National Security Advisor Michael Flynn for a short time, interviewed with Fox News and WMAL this week, promoting her new book.
KT has been active in government since the Reagan era and there has never been any breath of scandal around her.
โI am the original Girl Scout,โ McFarlandย told WMAL-FM Wednesday. โI followed all the rules, I turned in all of my files and my phone logs and my text messages and emails when I left government, didnโt leak to the press.โ
That got her into trouble with the Mueller team.
โWhen the Mueller people came calling at my door unannounced, they started quizzing me on things that I didnโt have access to and didnโt remember 100 percent accurately, and it allowed them to say, โwell you must be lying then.โโ
After about 40 hours of hell, they wanted her to plead guilty to a crime she had not committed. Her other option was to talk about others who didn’t follow the rules.
THEY FOLLOWED HER TO MAR-A-LAGO
During an interview withย Fox News, McFarland detailed the FBIโs tactics when they came to her house.
โThe FBI showed up at my house unannounced. I was all by myself. They come in and I said, โDo I need a lawyer for anything?ย I have never met with any Russians. I have never dealt with any Russians,’โ she said.
She naively went along with their interview without getting a lawyer. They misled her and they were aggressive.
โBecause, Brian, they seized all of my files, my documents, text messages, cell phones from the period that I was in government โฆ They had control of them. They wouldnโt let me have control of them.
The investigators tried to make a liar out of her.
โThey thought they could pressure me to say, โWell, I lied in one of my early talks with you guys when I didnโt have access to my information,’โ she added.
The bureaucrats referred to her denying she knew Flynn spoke with then-Russian ambassador Kislyak, but later revising her statement to say he did speak with her about it.
In one interview at Mar-a-Lago, they noted she had not made phone calls. They wanted to know if she was getting her marching orders from the President during that time.
โI looked at them and I said, โNo, that was actually when I was having lunch with my husband and I put my cell phone away,’โ she said.
โLook, 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.โ
Those lawyers came at a cost, however; McFarland said she incurred hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.
โAt one point, I turned to my lawyer and said, โjust tell me what they want me to say and Iโll say it!โโ McFarland told WMAL. However, she said her husband told her to stand her ground.
โI finally said, โno, youโre going to have to charge me with a crime,โโ she said. โAt that point, they went away because I couldnโt give them what they needed to spin their web. And then they moved on to the porn star queen,โ referring toย Stormy Daniels.
SHE FLED
McFarland said the Mueller spotlight was disturbing enough that she fled.
โWe went to the remotest islands of Scotland,โ she said. โAnd I just tried to think about, โwhat is happening to my country?โโ
The bureaucrats are in control.
โTheyโre a certain group of people who have gotten used to governing and they think it is their divine right,โ she told WMAL. โAnd even if the American voter votes for somebody that wants to get rid of them or change their policies, they feel they have the patriotic duty to overrule election results.
โAnd to me, weโre in a very dangerous place.โ
