The bigger story is DOJ's lawless flip flop.

This isn't a policy flip flop like DOMA or churches. It's a flip flop on crime by a president's associate.

Disgusting.

So, if you were framed and threatened you need to go to jail? Got it.

He wasn't framed. He lied to Pence and Spicer. Why do you think he didn't also lie to the FBI?

You like lawlessness. SMH

He lied about our national security. His lies effect us all.

No, he didn't. Not even close.

He lied to Pence about national security. Yes, he did.

No, he didn't

DP.
When the agents interviewing him did not detect deception, then he clearly wasn't lying....

More telling, Strzok and Pientka did not detect any of the body language or ticks associated with lying. Considering that Pientka had attended a briefing with Flynn during the campaign in order to assess Flynn’s baseline mannerisms, this assessment has credibility. Comey, on his 2018 book tour, would later deny that the agents had thought Flynn was being truthful. But transcripts show that when asked under oath in the closed session with the House Intelligence Committee if Flynn lied to his agents, Comey said, “I don’t know. I think there is an argument to be made that he lied. It is a close one.”

The FBI’s official record of that interview, known as a 302, also discredits Comey’s after-the-fact spin. It shows that Flynn said he did not remember details when asked by the FBI agents. When prompted if he had asked Kislyak not to engage in a “tit for tat,” Flynn responded that he didn’t remember. Shea, in his motion, writes that “the statements in question were not by their nature easily falsifiable. In his interview, Mr. Flynn offered either equivocal (‘I don’t know’) or indirect responses, or claimed to not remember the matter in question.”

The 302 record also shows that Comey’s initial justification to Congress in March for the interview was misleading. “My judgment,” he said, “was we could not close the investigation of Mr. Flynn without asking him what is the deal” with the “disconnect” between what he told Kislyak and what he told Pence. But the agents never asked Flynn direct questions about his conversation with Pence.

1. Why did they edit the 302?
2. They had access to the call transcript and would have known if he were lying.

They told Comey that they did not think he was lying.

The judge specifically asked him, under oath, if he was coerced or framed. He said he did not.

So was that a lie?

Barr was the Alfabank attorney in private practice the last decade. Alfabank=Russian Mob.

The case isn't ripe for the action taken. Flynn made the plea and is thus guilty of the crime. He needs to serve the time. DOJ had NO business intervening at this juncture, and particularly with a flawed document with no new facts, mis-signed by an attorney who isn't even at the DOJ anymore.

Go read the filings to dismiss from Flynn and DOJ. Please note that both filings include documentation. Exculpatory information was withheld. There was misconduct on the part of the investigators and the prosecution. Both reasons for dismissal. Again, there are real documents included in the filings which support dismissal.

the information you are calling exculpatory actually isn't.

Maybe not against the rules. Maybe it is. That is up to the appeals court to determine.

WapPo in article today:
"A federal judge doesn’t typically hire private counsel to respond to an appeals court"

He is essentially a participant in this case now. Perhaps it's time for a new judge.

A federal judge usually isn't asked to provide an argument in person by a partisan and unqualified judicial appointee like Judge Rao.

"Partisan and unqualified?" LOL
There were two other judges, pal. And, they seem to think there is something to the brief that was filed.

And, a federal judge usually doesn't object to dropping a case when both sides agree that is what needs to be done.

The case isn't ripe for the action taken. Flynn made the plea and is thus guilty of the crime. He needs to serve the time. DOJ had NO business intervening at this juncture, and particularly with a flawed document with no new facts, mis-signed by an attorney who isn't even at the DOJ anymore.

There is plenty of evidence that the case should have never begun.
Did you read the article by Eli Lake?
https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/eli-lake/michael-flynn-gets-railroaded-by-the-fbi/

Yes. Eli Lake was bad in his analysis, mostly by telling half truths and errors of omission.

https://www.emptywheel.net/2020/05/22/in-an-attempt-to-absolve-mike-flynn-eli-lake-accidentally-accuses-flynn-of-outright-espionage-then-lies-about-the-evidence/

This is the same Eli Lake that is vociferously defending Benjamin Netanyahu, whose trial begins today. Think there isn't a self-interested tie there given Flynn's illegal representation of Israeli interests counter to the US in 2016?

He lied to Pence. McGahn, Trump and others have confirmed that.

The PP is the only one who doesn't seem to think so.

The other option is that he didn't lie to Pence, Pence knew and as head of the transition, that would be worse.

Which is it?

We have tr remember that the main reason alarm bells were ringing about Flynn was because he was working for or getting paid by foreign governments (Turkey to kidnap a US resident, Saudi Arabia to sell nuclear secrets, Israel to undermine the US at the UN). Even Chris Christie thought he was completely unsuitable for NSA.

Except, those alarm bells produced "no derogatory information". Hence, the investigation closing memo from the FBI.
