Barr Installs Outside Prosecutor to Review Case Against Michael Flynn, Ex-Trump Adviser

[Anonymous]

Not unheard of, but the facts of the case here are different than Stevens.

Further, the case isn't ripe, yet. Perhaps after the judge rules in July, there would be a case for an appeal, but not now.

So, the Dems think it is okay for the FBI and prosecutors to lie and withhold information in order to get a conviction? They think that is justice? Wow.

Please tell me where she is wrong:

The FBI and the prosecutors aren't the liars here.

Flynn either lied to the FBI, or he lied to the court when he, twice, admitted he lied to the FBI. Neither is a good look.

No, dear, the Republicans think it's okay to lie and to receive payments from other countries while working as the incoming ("incumbent") NSA.

They think it's just darling.

Apparently yes.

But, I think when the details of this story are finally revealed, we will find that the actions taken were much worse on the part of the previous administration.

But, it is okay for the Dems to pay for Russian disinformation on a political opponent? Got it.

That isn't what happened and continuing to mischaracterize it doesn't do you any good service.

Maybe ask why Papadopolous, Sessions, Manafort, Page and a whole host of Trump 2016 orbit people were meeting with Russians and then lying about it? What sparked the FBI investigaton? It wasn't Christopher Steele.

Flynn was not charged with all those violations that she claims. The SCO really wanted to get Flynn. Why didn't they charge him with real violations instead of the fake one?

Yeah, those Dems used that Russian disinformation all through the summer of the election, didn't they?

It's good to see how the alt-right have matured into Young Republicans in their "debate me" style. How mainstream of them.

We know. Christopher Steele and his Russian disinformation paid for by HRC and the DNC just gave the FBI and DOJ a way to create a media campaign to promote their false narrative.
As for the meetings with "Russians?" I think as time goes on you will discover that these "meetings" weren't what the FBI and media made them out to be.

But they waited until AFTER the election to begin the media campaign? Okay, makes total sense.

It was the "insurance policy." They never thought Trump would win. And, the leaks did start before the election. And, the spying.

Hillary, the FBI, the IC, who can tell them apart? Amirite?
