He spent a few years as an AUA in the 90s. He spent the last 20 years not being involved in the DoJ.yeah a guy that’s been involved in the doj since the early 90s
haha of course he was appointed by him...Barr was the bossHe spent a few years as an AUA in the 90s. He spent the last 20 years not being involved in the DoJ.yeah a guy that’s been involved in the doj since the early 90s
He was Barr’s lackey. Appointed specifically by him. The career prosecutors who you referred to left the case in protest of the obvious misapplication of justice.
It was loaded with excuses and yes, I did read it. Nothing about the “Brady material” had anything to do with their shoddy reasoning. The entire brief was pretextual reaching because they wanted Flynn to get off easy. That’s why the judge called it out as nonsense and sought other opinions, which further excoriated the supposed document.what excuses? did you read it? it simply applied the law.Some of the DoJ are career officials.the DOJ is made up career officialsThe Trump crony at the DoJ who had nothing to do with the investigation made up an excuse for him.no the doj said even if he did lie, it wasn’t a violation because it wouldn’t of been a material fact since they already said the call was legit..there was no bases to even interview him.He did. He very much did. The DoJ’s pretextual argument was that he lied but the question didn’t need to be asked in the first place.well the technically being, he didn’t violate the lawConservatives love to say they were exonerated even when they get off only due to a technicality.You could try and fail. There was no exoneration of Flynn. Only corrupt politicians covering their asses.Remember when the Obama DOJ went after GOP rising star Bob McDonnell? Only to have the SCOTUS overturn that conviction?Conservatives would love corrupt prosecutors because then they'd be able to prosecute their political opponents just like Putin does.Bragging about getting a corrupt prosecutor, who wouldn't prosecute, fired.he’s on TV bragging about how he did it"Xiden withheld money from the country until they canned the guy looking into his son’s corrupt company"
Really?
Poster Struth you still haven't found the clue?
At this point I, for one, question your sincerity in this discussion.
It appears to be either trolling for trolling sakes.....or........willful ignorance.
There have been several posts on this thread explaining the whys and whyfor's of this kerfuffle.
And yet you persist.
Joe Biden didn't have the authority as merely the Vice President to withhold such monies.
He did have the authority...directly given to him by his boss after consultation with the State Department and European governments.....to carry their message to the Ukrainian president.
Which, he did.
It is how international diplomacy works. Duh!
If one's regular corps of diplomats is unable to make progress on an issue our nation feels is against our interest, well, you then send in a bigger gun.....a Secretary of one department or another, maybe one of the Joint Chiefs, maybe a top general, an important business leader.....or you can send in a Vice President who is long experienced in America's foreign relations .
You do all of that as "official American policy".
Duh!
not sure why or how someone from Europe would have authority to do that...
That was a fine accomplishment and not at all the crime you couldn't even properly identify.
After all, when conservatives yelled "lock her (Hillary) up," it was more than rhetorical flourish. They really wanted it to happen.
Remember when Xiden, Obama and the Obamagate gang colluded in the Oval Office to undermine the Trump admin, and go after Flynn? Only to finally have the Brady evidence released that exonerated him?
Yeah...I could go on....
You see, that's exactly what Oliver North said in 1990 when he got off on a technicality after being convicted the year before on 3 felony counts for his part in the Iran Contra scandal. I remember it specifically because someone stuck a microphone in his face and he used the word 'exonerated' to describe what happened when the appeals court vacated his conviction. Frankly, at the very least, I think he should have been convicted of a misrepresentation of the facts regarding the overturned verdict. At least that could be called justice.
The story is told below in an excerpt from Wikipedia
[North was indicted in March 1988 on 16 felony counts. His trial opened in February 1989, and on May 4, 1989, he was initially convicted of three: accepting an illegal gratuity, aiding and abetting in the obstruction of a congressional inquiry, and ordering the destruction of documents through his secretary, Fawn Hall. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell on July 5, 1989, to a three-year suspended prison term, two years probation, $150,000 in fines, and 1,200 hours of community service. North performed some of his community service within Potomac Gardens, a public housing project in southeast Washington, DC. However, on July 20, 1990, with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, North's convictions were vacated, after the appeals court found that witnesses in his trial might have been impermissibly affected by his immunized congressional testimony.]
It was an absurd statement.
Hence, they never said he lied, but even if he did it wasn’t a crime.
thus he was exonerated once we saw the brady evidence
Any high ranking official who is lying to their superiors about contact with foreign officials is subject to questioning. That should be obvious. The logic in the DoJ case was strained and ignored highly relevant details.
they merely reviewed the brady even de that they mueller team was hiding for so long
The one that made up excuses for Flynn was a Barr crony who was appointed, not a career prosecutor.
The career prosecutor resigned from the case and refused to sign on.
we know from the brady material that the obama fbi said the call was legit.
if the call was legit nothing he would have lied about would have been material hence no crime
Yep. Precisely. You tried to claim it was career prosecutors. It wasn’t. It was a political appointee; a lackey of Barr.haha of course he was appointed by him...Barr was the bossHe spent a few years as an AUA in the 90s. He spent the last 20 years not being involved in the DoJ.yeah a guy that’s been involved in the doj since the early 90s
He was Barr’s lackey. Appointed specifically by him. The career prosecutors who you referred to left the case in protest of the obvious misapplication of justice.
he’s wired with Barr since the 90s at the DOJ after that on Hill.

It didn’t simply apply the law. It twisted reality (and in one case falsified documents) to support itself.

No, he had a brief stint with the DoJ and did a whole bunch of other stuff.i just highlighted he was a career person in washington since the early 90s

what did it twisted?
Not according to his wiki bio....he was with the DOJ as far back as the early 90s, worked on the Hill or a period during the Clinton years, and private practice as a DC insider, then backNo, he had a brief stint with the DoJ and did a whole bunch of other stuff.i just highlighted he was a career person in washington since the early 90s
A career prosecutor he ain't. He's a Barr crony appointed to his position.
You were not being truthful.

At this point I, for one, question your sincerity in this discussion.
It appears to be either trolling for trolling sakes.....or........willful ignorance.
There have been several posts on this thread explaining the whys and whyfor's of this kerfuffle.
And yet you persist.
Joe Biden didn't have the authority as merely the Vice President to withhold such monies.
He did have the authority...directly given to him by his boss after consultation with the State Department and European governments.....to carry their message to the Ukrainian president.
Which, he did.
It is how international diplomacy works. Duh!
If one's regular corps of diplomats is unable to make progress on an issue our nation feels is against our interest, well, you then send in a bigger gun.....a Secretary of one department or another, maybe one of the Joint Chiefs, maybe a top general, an important business leader.....or you can send in a Vice President who is long experienced in America's foreign relations .
You do all of that as "official American policy".
Duh!
not sure why or how someone from Europe would have authority to do that...
That was a fine accomplishment and not at all the crime you couldn't even properly identify.
After all, when conservatives yelled "lock her (Hillary) up," it was more than rhetorical flourish. They really wanted it to happen.
Remember when Xiden, Obama and the Obamagate gang colluded in the Oval Office to undermine the Trump admin, and go after Flynn? Only to finally have the Brady evidence released that exonerated him?
Yeah...I could go on....
You see, that's exactly what Oliver North said in 1990 when he got off on a technicality after being convicted the year before on 3 felony counts for his part in the Iran Contra scandal. I remember it specifically because someone stuck a microphone in his face and he used the word 'exonerated' to describe what happened when the appeals court vacated his conviction. Frankly, at the very least, I think he should have been convicted of a misrepresentation of the facts regarding the overturned verdict. At least that could be called justice.
The story is told below in an excerpt from Wikipedia
[North was indicted in March 1988 on 16 felony counts. His trial opened in February 1989, and on May 4, 1989, he was initially convicted of three: accepting an illegal gratuity, aiding and abetting in the obstruction of a congressional inquiry, and ordering the destruction of documents through his secretary, Fawn Hall. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell on July 5, 1989, to a three-year suspended prison term, two years probation, $150,000 in fines, and 1,200 hours of community service. North performed some of his community service within Potomac Gardens, a public housing project in southeast Washington, DC. However, on July 20, 1990, with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, North's convictions were vacated, after the appeals court found that witnesses in his trial might have been impermissibly affected by his immunized congressional testimony.]
It was an absurd statement.
Hence, they never said he lied, but even if he did it wasn’t a crime.
thus he was exonerated once we saw the brady evidence
Any high ranking official who is lying to their superiors about contact with foreign officials is subject to questioning. That should be obvious. The logic in the DoJ case was strained and ignored highly relevant details.
they merely reviewed the brady even de that they mueller team was hiding for so long
The one that made up excuses for Flynn was a Barr crony who was appointed, not a career prosecutor.
The career prosecutor resigned from the case and refused to sign on.
we know from the brady material that the obama fbi said the call was legit.
if the call was legit nothing he would have lied about would have been material hence no crime
It didn’t simply apply the law. It twisted reality (and in one case falsified documents) to support itself.
what did it twisted?
But it was part of a larger counter intelligence investigation, not just an investigation into a phone call with Flynn.
What did he say that not material? Why ask about the call at all if they already determined the call was legit? A counter intelligence probe isn't a criminal probe....so even then it couldn't of been a crime.
And, the statute about lying to the FBI doesn't specify criminal probes. It says that it merely has to be a part of the jurisdiction of the government. That would include counterintelligence.

Well that's not true. There was an ongoing investigation into Russia meddling with the 2016 election. Monitoring that call was part of it.yeah they had no business investigating the call, since the call had been invetigated and it was legit.I literally already said, not sure why you want me to say it again. They argued that it couldn't be material because Flynn shouldn't have been under investigation, neglecting that plenty of others were under investigation too.how was it misapplied? what defination, and what was the materiality.They misapplied the definition of material. They pretended like his statements could only be material to his specific interaction with the specific investigation into himself.be specific on the excuses what was shoddy about the reasoning!It was loaded with excuses and yes, I did read it. Nothing about the “Brady material” had anything to do with their shoddy reasoning. The entire brief was pretextual reaching because they wanted Flynn to get off easy. That’s why the judge called it out as nonsense and sought other opinions, which further excoriated the supposed document.what excuses? did you read it? it simply applied the law.Some of the DoJ are career officials.the DOJ is made up career officialsThe Trump crony at the DoJ who had nothing to do with the investigation made up an excuse for him.no the doj said even if he did lie, it wasn’t a violation because it wouldn’t of been a material fact since they already said the call was legit..there was no bases to even interview him.He did. He very much did. The DoJ’s pretextual argument was that he lied but the question didn’t need to be asked in the first place.well the technically being, he didn’t violate the lawConservatives love to say they were exonerated even when they get off only due to a technicality.You could try and fail. There was no exoneration of Flynn. Only corrupt politicians covering their asses.Remember when the Obama DOJ went after GOP rising star Bob McDonnell?

And when questioned by the FBI about that call, Flynn lied to them. That's a crime for which Flynn was charged and then later pleaded guilty in front of a judge and then after that, reaffirmed his guilt in front of another judge.

It matters not that the call was legit. Flynn wasn't charged for having a conversation with a Russian ambassador. He was charged with lying to the FBI about what he said during that call.

Is there video evidence of Trump smoking crack and jerking himself off as well?Giuliani is some very serious legal trouble here. When this is combined with all the other likely upcoming charges against Rudy, he'd better get himself the best lawyer he can find because he's sure going to need help staying out of prison.
And in case anyone misses the point, any criminal conspiracy to commit a crime which is planned and executed by a lawyer and his client effectively negates any protections of a lawyer/client privileged and confidential communication.
I certainly hope that Giuliani is fully prepared for when Trump disavows any knowledge of what his lawyer was doing because that's been Trump's MO for decades.

I remember it specifically because someone stuck a microphone in his face and he used the word 'exonerated' to describe what happened when the appeals court vacated his conviction. Frankly, at the very least, I think he should have been convicted of a misrepresentation of the facts regarding the overturned verdict. At least that could be called justice.
The story is told below in an excerpt from Wikipedia
[North was indicted in March 1988 on 16 felony counts. His trial opened in February 1989, and on May 4, 1989, he was initially convicted of three: accepting an illegal gratuity, aiding and abetting in the obstruction of a congressional inquiry, and ordering the destruction of documents through his secretary, Fawn Hall. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell on July 5, 1989, to a three-year suspended prison term, two years probation, $150,000 in fines, and 1,200 hours of community service. North performed some of his community service within Potomac Gardens, a public housing project in southeast Washington, DC. However, on July 20, 1990, with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, North's convictions were vacated, after the appeals court found that witnesses in his trial might have been impermissibly affected by his immunized congressional testimony.]
It was an absurd statement.
Hence, they never said he lied, but even if he did it wasn’t a crime.
thus he was exonerated once we saw the brady evidence
Any high ranking official who is lying to their superiors about contact with foreign officials is subject to questioning. That should be obvious. The logic in the DoJ case was strained and ignored highly relevant details.
they merely reviewed the brady even de that they mueller team was hiding for so long
The one that made up excuses for Flynn was a Barr crony who was appointed, not a career prosecutor.
The career prosecutor resigned from the case and refused to sign on.
we know from the brady material that the obama fbi said the call was legit.
if the call was legit nothing he would have lied about would have been material hence no crime
It didn’t simply apply the law. It twisted reality (and in one case falsified documents) to support itself.
what did it twisted?
But it was part of a larger counter intelligence investigation, not just an investigation into a phone call with Flynn.
What did he say that not material? Why ask about the call at all if they already determined the call was legit? A counter intelligence probe isn't a criminal probe....so even then it couldn't of been a crime.
And, the statute about lying to the FBI doesn't specify criminal probes. It says that it merely has to be a part of the jurisdiction of the government. That would include counterintelligence.
Read 18 USC 1001 yourself. Nothing about a criminal matter.

We know the motives, based on the Brady evidence was simply to disrupt the incoming admin.
He couldn't of lied about a material fact related to the call...because the call was legit. The call was no longer under investigation...hence why the charge about lying about it, was BS
I have
And when questioned by the FBI about that call, Flynn lied to them. That's a crime for which Flynn was charged and then later pleaded guilty in front of a judge and then after that, reaffirmed his guilt in front of another judge.
And regardless of the DoJ's attempts to get the case dismissed, they failed to do so. At the time Flynn accepted his pardon, the judge on the case had still not dismissed it.
Flynn was not exonerated ... he was forgiven.
there was no baes to ask about the call...but since the call was legit nothing he even could have lied about was material to the russian investigation.
read what he was charged with..read the indictment. What they said he lied about couldn’t if been material since we know they concluded the call was legit
it was a witch-hunt lead by the obamagate gang.
You've not posted anything to counter that.
