DOJ & FBI Redactions Not For National Security, Concealed Embarrassing Info About Themselves

The initial redacted version hid clear testimony that the FBI didn't think Flynn lied. McCabe: "The two people who interviewed [Flynn] didn't think he was lying[.]" And: "[N]ot [a] great beginning of a false statement case[.]"

DOJ/FBI also tried to hide Comey's clear testimony that FBI agents didn't think Flynn lied. "Comey testified to the Committee that 'the agents...discerned no physical indications of deception. They saw nothing that indicated...he was lying to them.'"

Now compare those statements under oath from Comey with what he told @BretBaier on television last week. It's extremely difficult to reconcile them.

It’s clear that DOJ/FBI demanded significant redactions not to protect national security or sources/methods, but to protect potentially corrupt officials from accountability for their actions before and after Trump’s election.

The Flynn redactions appear to have been done to protect a false statements case with no evidentiary basis. Others were done to hide apparent conspiracy to spy on and leak against Trump officials out of spite over the election results.

Anyone with any sense knew the reason they were withholding this stuff was that it made them look bad.
There is still no one being prosecuted.

Trump’s fault! </sarc>

“There is still no one being prosecuted.”

What can you say? Sessions just got handed Rosie Odonnell on a silver platter for campaign donation violations far worse than Dinesh Disouza. I’m not holding my breath.

Not as long as President Mueller is running things.

FBI collusion goes all the way back to Ruby Ridge.
There is WAY more here than we know about.

Comey committed the crimes he tried to ensnare others in.

Needs prison for this alone.

Just ponder what the persecuted/crucified Michael Flynn must be thinking? The super secret, now unredacted material was really Flynn exculpating material that should have ethically been sufficient to convince any honest prosecutor not to charge Flynn. Because corrupt prosecutors hid the information in order to railroad Flynn, it then became embarrassing material so they called it secret and non-releasable. The outlaw Mueller team consciously sat on the information while they scared the hell out of Flynn, terrorized him to plead to their bogus process crime. Remember how the FBI did this. They called Flynn up one day out of the blue and said they would like to meet with him, without telling him what they wanted. Flynn had no idea the trap they were setting for him. Did they read him his rights? I bet ten to one they did not. Their little chit chat was a total Flynn set up. This was warmed over, classic Senator Ted Stevens tactics that they revisited upon Flynn. I'm waiting for Judge Sullivan, who by the way, handled the Stevens case, to hand Mueller's team their heads on this one. What must Judge Sullivan be thinking now about the corrupt, incorrigible FBI/DOJ that didn't learn a thing after the whipping he gave them in the Stevens dismissal.

No redactions...no secrets. The Truth shall set you free.
