why weren't FBI agents charged with lying? Comey did some pretty unsavory things, too. Why? politics

Flynn has been treated very gently from the beginning. The FBI tip toed around how to question him, even though he had already lied, and they rightfully suspected he might lie again.
He has been allowed to plead down, and given the lightest possible slap on the wrist for his actions. Railroaded? Give me a break. |
Plead down from what charge? Specifics and evidence, please. |
"If you don't plead we will prosecute your son." no railroading here. |

"Unindicted co-conspirator #1" |
That is what he plead to. What did he "plead DOWN" from? In other words, what charges were dropped? |
Its called hardball. If his son had no liability in this he would not have much to worry about. What gets me about all these grifters including trump is even if they get caught they want to be exonerated. These people are not patriots and if they really were they would shut up play the game and take there lumps. |
Seems the FBI field office was going to close down the investigation having found no incriminating evidence. This made someone mad. Strzok.
|
He didn't want his son to go bankrupt defending himself. |
He went into debt to the tune of $5 million. Seems he ran out of money. Oh, and his first counsel was totally ineffective. This is the big issue. |
He thought the law didn't apply to him... Shoot up Comet Ping Pong? Fine. Tell the truth to LEOs, nah. That's for little people. |
His first counsel got him a deal of no prison time. That's not ineffective, that's excellent. For some unfathomable reason, he didn't like that deal. |
...To plead guilty to a crime he did not commit. No, that is not effective counsel. |
