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.
“I am the original Girl Scout,” McFarland told WMAL-FM Wednesday. “I 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, didn’t leak to the press.”
That got her into trouble with the Mueller team.
“When the Mueller people came calling at my door unannounced, they started quizzing me on things that I didn’t have access to and didn’t remember 100 percent accurately, and it allowed them to say, ‘well you must be lying then.’”
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 with Fox News, McFarland detailed the FBI’s tactics when they came to her house.
“The FBI showed up at my house unannounced. I was all by myself. They come in and I said, ‘Do I need a lawyer for anything? I have never met with any Russians. I have never dealt with any Russians,’” she said.
She naively went along with their interview without getting a lawyer. They misled her and they were aggressive.
“Because, Brian, they seized all of my files, my documents, text messages, cell phones from the period that I was in government … They had control of them. They wouldn’t let me have control of them.
The investigators tried to make a liar out of her.
“They thought they could pressure me to say, ‘Well, I lied in one of my early talks with you guys when I didn’t have access to my information,’” 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.
“I looked at them and I said, ‘No, that was actually when I was having lunch with my husband and I put my cell phone away,’” she said.
“Look, 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.”
Those lawyers came at a cost, however; McFarland said she incurred hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.
“At one point, I turned to my lawyer and said, ‘just tell me what they want me to say and I’ll say it!’” McFarland told WMAL. However, she said her husband told her to stand her ground.
“I finally said, ‘no, you’re going to have to charge me with a crime,’” she said. “At that point, they went away because I couldn’t give them what they needed to spin their web. And then they moved on to the porn star queen,” referring to Stormy Daniels.
SHE FLED
McFarland said the Mueller spotlight was disturbing enough that she fled.
“We went to the remotest islands of Scotland,” she said. “And I just tried to think about, ‘what is happening to my country?’”
The bureaucrats are in control.
“They’re a certain group of people who have gotten used to governing and they think it is their divine right,” she told WMAL. “And 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.
“And to me, we’re in a very dangerous place.”

I hate to say it but when The Patriot Act was passed in the aftermath of 9/11 with one dissenting vote from Ron Paul, the intent was to kick our enemies in the balls and then some. It was the knee jerk reaction that was suppose to keep American Citizens save. It is renewed yearly with very little discussion on both sides of the isle. Obama weaponized it against Americans as part of his ‘hope and change’. I would think that ANYBODY getting an FBI request would be smart enough to bring a lawyer. This whole BS affair should be shitcanned yesterday since it is all based on lies. It is rotten to prosecute anybody based on a pack of lies.
This is one part of the story that will never be investigated. Lindsey Graham halfheartedly will look into FISA abuse, maybe, at some time, but what Mueller and his henchmen have done to many people should have focus also. Every one who Mueller called in should tell their stories in front of the Committee. Let the public know the Stasi tactics these people perpetrated on Americans. Of course nothing like that will eve happen.
It’s an important story.
She let the goons into her house alone? She erred, was probably close to being indicted by telling them anything.
Some ancestors on my dad’s side are from there. She can keep the Frankenfood cookies but Scotland is bucket list material.
The Fundamental Transformation meant the enshrining of the Nomenklatura bureaucrats just like the Soviet system.
If the Bolsheviks should win then we’ll all have fight where stand or find a remote island and no they don’t care that you just want to be left alone.
They consider it a divine right to rule over the rabble with pens and phones.
Unfortunately they are indeed in control of the county. For me, the FBI has lost all credibility, they appear to be deceitful, dishonest, and corrupt from top to bottom. It isn’t just a few at the top, how many knew what was going on, and said nothing? How many employ the same tactics they tried out on McFarland on others? Myself, I am very pessimistic about the future of our once great country.
