Flynn’s a spook. He lied purposefully about a non-crime because he needed to out Strzok. Strzok was the keystone that will cause the whole arc of this upper echelon of the FBI to some crashing down.
DJT must pardon when Strzk is indicted
yes
Elaborate please
Trump is smart. Adm Rogers is smart. I imagine that they may have actually sat down and said to one another:
"Strzok is the keystone, but how do we get him? Hey, listen, if we can maneuver him into a conversation with Flynn, then Flynn could lie about a non-crime. That might be enough to get wheels turning that could really put everything in motion. If we can do that, we would really be in a great position. The only question is, Would Flynn be willing to play along? This might be pretty tough on him. But, you know, he's a spook and a patriot. He knows how this stuff goes sometimes. I'll ask him and I think he'll say yes. Then, all we need is to get Strzok to swing by and ask Flynn a few questions. The FBI will fall right into that trap."
That’s the only explanation that makes sense to me. It’s preposterous for someone to plead guilty to a crime related to an FBI interview where the subject of the interview was never read his Miranda rights. It would be such an open-and-shut case to be laughed out of court.
The thing I notice is that there is zero news on the status of Flynn’s plea. The judge recused or was forced to recuse himself and the sentencing hearing canceled.
Was it ever rescheduled? With which judge? The fact that this activity has disappeared into a black hole is curious.
