1. What was the purpose of the Mueller Investigation? Hint: to smear Trump, there was no collusion except by Clinton/DNC.
2. What was the purpose of interviewing Flynn? Hint: to smear Trump and take Flynn off the board.
There were no real national security or criminal issues based on legitimate evidence, no "crime" other than ticky-tack process crimes. Remember Biden even suggested prosecuting Flynn using the "Logan Act"?
These were political smears by Obama appointees and/or the deep state who plain hate Trump.
1. Rosenstein laid out the purpose of the Mueller investigation. It's a pretty weird accusation that Rostenstein, who was appointed by Trump, was out to get him.
2. Interviewing Flynn was to determine if and why the NSA was lying to the Vice President and whether he was being forthcoming about his communications with Russian officials. Surely you'd consider the national security advisor to be someone you'd expect to be honest about such communications?
1. Your lying eyes.
"Republicans seized on the finding of flaws and omissions to further their case that the FBI and Justice Department have run amok out of political animus toward Trump."
IG Horowitz was a democrat, even he was shocked by what he found happened at the FBI & DOJ.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report enumerates multiple issues with the FISA application for former Trump aide Carter Page.

"The FBI agents who interviewed former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn during the early days of the Russia investigation knew they might catch him lying about his contacts with the Russian ambassador and mused about getting him fired, according to newly unsealed documents in his criminal case."

The FBI interview of Flynn was not requested by Pence, it was requested by Comey to setup Flynn, before the WH was "organized". The Flynn interview was not "predicated", he was naive to accept the interview w/o a lawyer, it was an FBI setup.
“I think Gen. Michael Flynn is a patriotic American who served with great distinction in the armed forces,” Pence told reporters. “I’m deeply troubled by the revelations of what appears to have been investigative abuse by officials in the Justice Department and we are going to continue to look into that very carefully.”
Vice President Pence said Thursday he was “more inclined” to believe that former national security adviser Michael Flynn unintentionally misled him in early 2017 about his contacts with…

1. Right. You're accusing Rosenstein of having so much hatred for Trump that he was appointing Mueller to investigate him. Sure. That makes a ton of sense.
2. The FBI is in charge of counterintelligence. There is sufficient predication to sit down with Flynn who had been lying to the government about his contacts with adversarial nations. This is so obvious it should not require further discussion.
OK, last round:
1. Yes, Rosenstein had so much hatred he even suggested wearing a wire to 25th Trump's ass.
Appointing Mueller to get Trump makes way more than a ton of sense to impartial observers.
Bombshell story sparks political firestorm and a denial from the No. 2 law enforcement official.

2. I never saw any evidence of Flynn lying before the FBI perjury trap setup. Please show evidence of a real crime by Flynn.
Worst case he lobbied for Turkey w/o registering, which is not a big deal in DC, happens all the time, except Biden wanted the Logan Act used.
