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

[Anonymous]

Amazing to me that anyone is even trying to defend this. How quickly our institutions crumble. Kind of scary.

Imagine that? The President knew that the incoming National Security Advisor was making secret deals with the Russian government and then lying about his conversation to the incoming Vice President, WH Chief of Staff and Press Secretary.

Who came up with this crazy law that says you can't lie to the FBI? Wouldn't people be less likely to talk to the FBI if they could end up in the slammer for telling a fib? People lie to the police all the time and that is perfectly legal (assuming they aren't obstructing). What makes the FBI do special?

BTW, I'm not defending MAGA trash Flynn.

Right. If this was all a nothing burger, or a set-up, or a frame-up, the judicial system should be the hammer. Now it just looks suspicious that Barr had to intervene before a judge could rule.

Don't take legal advice, or ANY advice, from Marcy Wheeler. She's a fraud.

I am not taking legal advice. Simply read the portion of the actual filing she screen shot.

Are you 3?

Lying to the FBI or the police about a material issue is a crime. Sorry your parents never told you that.

Glad justice is served.

The government already proved it and Flynn pled guilty to it, not once, but twice.

Further, there is NO news evidence provided in this 100 page filing. Nothing that the Judge hasn't already considered.

They are federal agents. There is a specific statute.

Flynn pled guilty under duress. That is evident. It has been the MO of this prosecutorial crew from the get go.

The Obama/Biden/Comey FBI had been running roughshod for far too long. They got caught.

Glad it was dismissed. He is free.

Boy, wouldn't heads explode if Trump brought him in as an advisor???

No, he didn't. Even Powell hasn't said that. Not to the court.

I would have to see Sullivan's previous ruling regarding the statements.
My first reaction is that to call it lying is a huge stretch. Particularly since the two agents didn't consider him being deceptive.

Powell and other champions of Flynn’s cause have long claimed he did not lie to investigators -- a claim supported by the interviewing FBI agents, who concluded that Flynn had not made intentional misstatements, just failures of recollection, which are common. Instead, they maintain that Flynn was coerced into pleading guilty nearly a year later by special counsel Robert Mueller’s team of hyper-aggressive prosecutors. Prosecutors did this, Powell argues, by threatening that if he refused to plead, they would prosecute his son. The son, also named Michael Flynn, worked in Gen. Flynn’s private intelligence firm, which Team Mueller was scrutinizing over its alleged failure to register with the government as a foreign agent — a dubious allegation that was rarely handled as a criminal offense before Mueller’s probe.
