If someone who is privy to the nation's most secret information is lying to his bosses about what he's discussing with the Russian government, wouldn't that prompt a security review?
HE DID NOT LIE......
Of course he did.
We all know he did.
He's on tape with Kislyak talking about sanctions. That's not disputed.
He told the FBI agents that he did not talk about sanctions. The notes from the interview are 100% clear.
Which statement above is incorrect?
No he didn't....no member of the newly elected presidents circle holds any obligation to be 100% OPEN TO A FBI AGENT UNLESS THE AGENT IS INVESTIGATING A CRIME....There is no rule that says Flynn has to divulge Trump's foreign policy to anyone without reason....especially to a couple of 3rd rate FBI agents.....
Not quite correct. Here's the statue:
(a)Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever,
in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully--
(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
(3)makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry;
Counter intelligence is part of the FBI's jurisdiction. That's why the do all the background checks for security clearances, for example. Now, it's perfectly reasonable for the FBI to interview someone in this manner. Flynn did not have to sit down with them if he didn't want to. It was a voluntary interview. He agreed to it. As you say, he does not HAVE to divulge foreign policy to them, but he DID. Except when he did, he lied about it. Therefore he's in trouble.
Anyway, did you just shift your argument from HE DIDN NOT LIE to IT'S OKAY TO LIE?
