They did nothing of the sort and likely violated Flynns Miranda rights as well as soon as he asked about a lawyer and they lied to him.
they are NOT required to tell the person, according to ALL that I have read on it....
And Flynn KNEW that...
Then how is it a crime that Flynn lied about something these men did not have a right to know while in a non-investigative interview?
Just because an FBI dude asks you a question you are under no obligation to answer it unless they tell you it is part of an investigation.
So where is the crime?
Where did I say it was a non-investigative interview?
Jim, you are also missing the point,
WHY DID FLYNN LIE ABOUT IT??? What was he trying to hide, and WHY was he trying to hide it? If you were an FBI agent, who usually never asks questions that they do not have a good idea on what the correct answer is.... wouldn't you be suspicious on why an ex General of the USA chose to lie about that...? I certainly would, and I still want to know the answer to this: Why did Flynn not simply tell them the truth.... why lie?
It was not breaking a law.... a little back handed maybe, but not a crime, as far as I know? And this put him in a compromised position, going out in public, denying any contact with the ambassador on sanctions when he sent Shawn and Pence out to spread that message on National TV.... this made him COMPROMISED and subject to foreign influence, even if unwanted, because he lied to the American people about it, and the Russians all knew he was lying to us about it.... Flynn, as ex military intelligence, knew BETTER than to put himself in that position, certainly he did Jim....
Even in the interview with them, Flynn made a joking comment on them already knowing the answer.... yet when they gave him a chance, 3 times to correct his lie, he didn't...?
Now isn't that weird? Off the wall crazy?
