Billy the Bagman's duplicity has convinced Trump supporters, but will it convinced the judge?

wrong, based on fact the original 302 is missing

I don't think you could be more full of shit if you tried.

“The Court summarily disposes of Mr. Flynn’s arguments that the FBI conducted an ambush interview for the purpose of trapping him into making false statements and that the government pressured him to enter a guilty plea,” Sullivan wrote. “The record proves otherwise.

Flynn set for Jan. 28 sentencing after judge rejects claims ex-Trump aide was tricked

The former national security adviser pleaded guilty to a felony false statement charge, but has since claimed that he was unfairly targeted.

Trump is talking about pardoning Michael Flynn based on a made-up claim

There is no evidence the FBI "lost" any records.

What is a Trumplehead to do in the face of the judge calling out Powell's bullshit for being bullshit?

It's obvious. Point to Billy the Bagman's duplicity as evidence Sullivan is wrong. Which is why Barr lied about the FBI's conduct in the first place.

Poor lying uneducated libtard. Let’s slap you again. The original 302 has been declared by the FBI as having “gone missing”. On that alone your case is thrown out. Barr followed the recommendation of Jensen, the attorney from St. Louis who determined the misconduct and found the documents showing said misconduct. What to do as your entire bullshit case blows up in your face and Sullivan gets slapped by himself bosses who told him to drop the case and to provide written explanations of his illegal actions. Debunking you is so easy.

Senior Obama DOJ officials (Loretta Lynch) were alarmed because it appeared Trump wasn't going to carry out Obama's foriegn policy?

That is a crime!

"The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized American citizens with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States." Flynn's conversation with Kislyak about the UN resolution violated the letter of the law.

Why must I explain these simple matters to you nitwits?

Because your heads are full of right wing media lies and copious amounts of horseshit about everything.

Sorry dumbfuck you are slapped again. Flynn was a member of the transition team. Thus nothing illegal. Keep crying,

Messages between Strzok and Page dated Jan. 23 and Jan. 24 describe disagreement among FBI leadership—seemingly Priestap, McCabe and FBI Director James Comey—though it is not clear specifically what is at issue. Another message from Jan. 24 shows Strzok alerting a redacted correspondent about an email containing suggestions for how McCabe should prepare for a call with Flynn—the same email contained in the first batch of documents from Jensen and described above.

Finally, messages between Strzok and Page dated Feb. 10 appear to show the two discussing unspecified edits to an unidentified document. The Times writes that the messages concern,

editing notes on the questioning of Mr. Flynn. His lawyers said they were further evidence that the F.B.I. doctored the interview notes known as a 302, a claim that the judge overseeing Mr. Flynn’s case, Emmet G. Sullivan of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, has previously rejected.

None of this material gives rise to a colorable claim of misconduct, and as the Times notes, Sullivan has already rejected the notion that the 302 was doctored. As the judge wrote back in December: “[T]he Court agrees with the government that there were no material changes in the interview reports, and that those reports track the interviewing FBI agents’ notes.” Sullivan went on: “Having carefully reviewed the interviewing FBI agents’ notes, the draft interview reports, the final version of the FD302, and the statements contained therein, the Court agrees with the government that those documents are ‘consistent and clear that [Mr. Flynn] made multiple false statements to the [FBI] agents about his communications with the Russian Ambassador on January 24, 2017.’”

“The Court summarily disposes of Mr. Flynn’s arguments that the FBI conducted an ambush interview for the purpose of trapping him into making false statements

BS of course. FBI knew what Flynn said to Russians because they had recordings. They interviewed Flynn about recordings to illegally create a crime, not to investigate a crime.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

wrong, based on fact the original 302 is missing which showed agents thought Flynn was not lying.

Wrong again. You don't stand a ******* chance, nitwit.

According to an FBI investigative memo made public last Friday, the two agents who conducted the Flynn interview “both had the impression at the time that Flynn was not lying or did not think he was lying.”

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Meaning that the claims he is making now indicate he lied under penalty of perjury when he confessed.
Got it?

Yes got it, he loved his son and did not want to see him abused by lib bigots! 23% of those who are wrongly convicted of murder made false confessions and none are charged with perjury. See why we say liberalism is based in pure ignorance?

What a steaming pile of garbage that was. Try addressing the FACT that the original 302 has “gone missing”. The one saying Flynn’s didn’t lie. Lawfare? They can’t seem to get anything right so no surprise you go right to them. Your argument is flushed, as usual.

FBI investigation was over and they concluded Flynn had not lied. Then 3 deranged bigots ( Comey Strzok and Page) doctored evidence, and arrested Flynn for discouraging Russian from attacking as if that's a crime rather than a heroic act.

Please stop telling us what your deranged Sullivan, now a prosecutor, said, as if he is some sort of oracle!!

yes someone told him it is the source of truth so he quotes it as gospel never thinking they made a fool of him.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

so the threats to abuse his son had nothing to do with it????? Why would Flynn lie about discouraging Russia from attacking us when normally you'd be very proud of that?????Isn't thinking fun???

so the threats to abuse his son had nothing to do with it???

Abuse? You're in la la land.

Also, link up to that threat.

Well that's a lie right there. Sorry liar, i ignored the rest.

House Intel report: Comey testified FBI agents saw no 'physical indications of deception' by Flynn

Former FBI Director James Comey testified to House Intelligence Committee that FBI agents did not believe that Michael Flynn, who was national security adviser, intentionally lied about talks with Russia’s ambassador, according to a newly unredacted report from the committee.

www.foxnews.com

.

Derp....
From your link
“Deputy Director McCabe confirmed the interviewing agent’s initial impression and stated that 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,'” the report states."

Poor little dumb **** commie, Flynn said he recalled the call, but not the details of it. The agents had a different understanding of the call because they had the transcript of it, which they intentionally didn't share with Flynn. It was entrapment plain and simple. Of course you commies never accused the ***** of lying when she said she didn't recall 39 times. ******* commie hypocrites.
