Anytime they show up and ask for cooperation say sure, absolutely. Let me get my recorder. Now ask away: answer all questions, well, to the best of my recollection at this time without reviewing any documents or reflecting on my defective memory, I would say I have no recollection of that event.

NEVER talk to the police and especially the FBI without:

1) your lawyer present
2) a video recording to which you have access, being made of the proceedings.

Take this as gospel.

Hopefully this will open the floodgate to put the previous administration in prison.

There is no way Mueller or anyone in the swamp will do anything to Obama or Clinton. This is a partisan search and destroy mission.

I believe that it is still a crime to lie to the FBI in an interview even if one is not under oath.

How ironic it is that it’s a crime to lie to a corrupt government agency (FBI) that lies, covers up crimes(email scandal, uranium one) and colludes with certain foreign governments(Russia), certain political parties(Democratic) and certain politicians(Clintons, Lynch, etc.). Gives new meaning to pot calling the kettle black.

“...Flynn “did willfully and knowingly make materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statements and representations...”
___

I seriously question the “materially” part of that charge.

At some point Flynn probably thought, “Hey, I didn’t do anything wrong. Why shouldn’t I talk to the FBI?”

his mistake was not watching Hilary

“a video recording to which you have access, being made of the proceedings.”

Do the FBI and law enforcement agencies allow that?

If the FBI questioned me for several hours over several days, I am sure they could get me on this charge too.

If you answered any of their questions you should be put in jail for being dumb enough to answer their questions. In other words, never, ever answer a single question. Ever!

I honestly did not know that. I thought one was free to say anything they wanted, thanks to the first amendment, UNLESS they are under oath. Of course, the words you use can get you in trouble. e.g. filing a false police report.

Generally speaking, the FBI does not. This is because the FBI has a policy that there will not be any other recordings of the meeting. This is a legal tactic used by the FBI to insist that their version of the interview, and ONLY their version, based on the FBI agent’s notes, is entered as evidence. It can be and has been used as the supporting evidence for charges.

However, a smart lawyer will insist that the conversation be recorded - video preferred. If the FBI does not want that, then they don’t get to question you in person. They can then submit the questions in writing to your attorney who will then provide the most appropriate response.

The most corrupt system the DOJ...90 percent never go to trail..they find as many charges as they can make up and your lawyer says take a deal..if you go to trail and they have all these charges against you the jury thinks you guilty of something..would you take a year or if you go to trail you might get thirty years...Think Randy Weaver...it was all made up..he missed a court date..he never received it..

“Remember...Comey stated that the FBI DID NOT place Hilary under oath during their questioning.

Now we know why”

How ironic...you can’t lie to liars led by Coney, an Olympic class liar. The same people who brought us Ruby Ridge, Waco, Bundys,Lavoy Finicum, etc. A declared willingness to kill innocent people must be a requirement to be an FBI agent.
