Then Trump is a tool also, because he’s asked for an en banc hearing every time he’s lost at this stage in every case against him.

And he's going to look even more stupid when the entire circuit vacates the mandamus order.

Trump is a party to the cases that he asks for en banc hearings of. Sullivan is not a party to this case.

You may want to check your facts on this point.

"FBI advised that they believed Flynn believed what he was saying was true."

FBI determined "Flynn was not acting as an agent of Russia."

So much for "knowingly and willingly" making false statements.

The notes do not say that.

He knowingly and willingly made false statements but as an agent of Qanon, not as an agent of Russia. Either way, he lied.

These are not exculpatory as Flynn's attorney is suggesting and they have zero impact on the lies Flynn told the FBI.

It is so sad that people believe this stuff.

Once again:

"FBI advised that they believed Flynn believed what he was saying was true." In other words, he wasn't knowingly lying.

No, it means they believed Flynn is a good liar.

LOL. Nice try.
The only one who lied is actually Comey.

When Comey was on his book tour, Baier asked him directly whether he told lawmakers that the agents did not think Flynn was lying intentionally. He said "maybe someone misunderstood" what he said, but he "didn't say that."

Comey was speaking a year later and without the benefit of notes or a transcript. As we have often noted, contemporaneous notes should often outweigh after-the-fact memories because they were written at the time. That's what makes Comey's memos of his conversations with Trump potentially powerful evidence.

There are contemporaneous notes that call into question Comey's version of what he told Congress.

In a letter dated May 11 to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, quoted from notes taken by a "career, nonpartisan law enforcement officer" who attended a March 15, 2017, briefing by Comey. The agent quoted Comey as saying the FBI agents "saw nothing that led them to believe [he was] lying." Grassley also quoted from committee staff notes that "agents saw no change in his demeanor or tone that would say he was being untruthful."

The majority report of the House Intelligence Committee includes a finding that FBI agents "did not detect any deception during Flynn's interview." As evidence, the report quotes Comey from a private briefing on March 2, 2017: "the agents . . . discerned no physical indications of deception. They didn't see any change in posture, in tone, in inflection, in eye contact. They saw nothing that indicated to them that he knew he was lying to them."

The majority report also quoted from a briefing given by Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe on Dec. 19, 2017, after Flynn pleaded guilty: The "conundrum that we faced on their return from the interview is that although [the agents] didn't detect deception in the statements that he made in the interview . . . the statements were inconsistent with our understanding of the conversation that he had actually had with the ambassador." McCabe added, "The two people who interviewed [Flynn] didn't think he was lying, [which] was not [a] great beginning of a false statement case."
