Flynn was under investigation and testified BEFORE MUELLER WAS Named SC

The FBI agents who interviewed Flynn said they saw nothing wrong in Flynn's testimony. That conviction was all the SC's creation after the creation of the SC. Flynn was supposedly let go due to not reporting everything to the VP elect about that December 29th conversation vis-a-vis sanctions. The real crime was the unmasking done by the Obama administration, the leaking of the conversation to the press, and other crimes not the fact that Flynn wasting his job. His conversation with the Russian Ambassador was post-election and well within his duties. . . Without those predicate criminal acts of the Obama administration, Flynn would never have been questioned by the FBI at all.

I’ll take Comey’s word for it; He went out to cover for her:

“I had assumed from media polling that Hillary Clinton was going to win,” Comey writes after discussing the Clinton investigation and his decision-making at length. “I have asked myself many times since if I was influenced by that assumption. I don’t know. Certainly not consciously but I would be a fool to say it couldn’t have had an impact on me.

“It is entirely possible that, because I was making decisions in an environment where Hillary Clinton was sure to be the next president, my concern about making her an illegitimate president by concealing the restarted investigation bore greater weight than it would have if the election appeared closer or if Donald Trump were ahead in the polls. But I don’t know.”

Comey sent a letter to Congress announcing the investigation was reopened on Oct. 28, after the FBI found evidence of previously undiscovered emails on the computer of former Rep. Anthony Weiner in the course of another investigation. Comey has said since, and explains in the book, that because he had announced that the investigation was closed, he felt he had a duty to inform lawmakers that that was no longer the case.

The FBI found no evidence to change its previous decision not to charge Clinton, and Comey announced that the investigation was again complete on Nov. 6, two days before the election.

Comey in his book devotes considerable ink to his thinking during the investigation, and writes: “I have replayed the Clinton email case hundreds of times in my mind. Other than mistakes in the way I presented myself in the July 5 public statements in front of the television cameras, I am convinced that if I could do it all again, I would do the same thing, given my role and what I knew at the time. But I also think reasonable people might have handled it differently.”
