Sorry TDSer.....The truth is going to exonerate Flynn.I marvel at how you Trumpleheads never get embarrassed when being called out for the inability to back up anything you write.You are a liberal. By definition, you are a liar.
âThese Flynnâs lawyers donât have a legal argument, instead they have a thesaurus,â Patrick Cotter, a defense attorney and former federal prosecutor, told TPM. âItâs just adjectives and adverbs strung together, with the exclamation points implied. Itâs ridiculous.â
âThatâs The Law For Everyoneâ
Some of the notes, which appear to have been taken by then-counterintelligence associate director Bill Priestap, lay out different scenarios for how an interview with Flynn might unfold and whether the agents should confront him directly with evidence heâs lying. The docs also include emails among FBI officials discussing whether to remind Flynn during the interview that lying to the FBI is a crime (the interviewing agents ultimately did not), as well as texts about keeping the Flynn investigation open, after an early January 2017 memo indicated it was being closed.
Though some is redacted, itâs clear from the documents that the FBI agents went into the interview anticipating that Flynn might lie about his Kislyak conversations and that they had information that proved he was lying. But that foresight doesnât vindicate Flynn of the conduct he pleaded guilty to, former prosecutors said.
"Flynnâs conversations with Kislyak occurred in December 2016 and were a turning point for the FBI in its investigation into the Trump campaign at the time. By January, the highly classified conversation, which was obtained by a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant was leaked to The Washington Post. It was followed by more leaks that alleged the campaign was in cahoots with Russia and a plethora of inaccurate stories across cable networks accusing Flynn of being in the pocket of the Russian government.
Of course, now, these allegations have been debunked by four separate investigations, to include Muellerâs own report, which found that no American conspired with Russia in the 2016 presidential election."
"Based on what we now know about Dowdâs conversation with Kelner, it should give one reason to believe that the transcripts of Flynnâs conversation with Kislyak would reveal a significantly different story than the one being told by government prosecutors."
