Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team on Friday released key documents relating to the FBI’s questioning of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, confirming agents did not believe at the time Flynn intentionally lied to them -- though he was later charged with making false statements in that interview.

I have been listening to Hannity discuss the Flynn case with Andy McCarthy and Greg Jarett.
They still neglect to bring up the fact that Flynn was not read his Miranda rights.
Reading the suspect his Miranda rights is mandated by Supreme Court rulings.
That alone should be sufficient reason for the judge to throw out the case.
That always look great...LOL ☺
A list of 72 types of Americans that are considered to be “extremists” or “potential terrorists” in official U.S. government documents. This list will really give you a good idea of what Barack Obama means when he uses the word “extremist”. Each of these 72 items is linked (at web site). As you can see, this list potentially includes most of the country…
OBAMA'S LIST OF EXTREMISTS AS FOUND IN OBAMA-ERA OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS: Those that talk about “individual liberties,” that advocate for states’ rights, that want “to make the world a better place,” that are interested in “defeating the Communists”
Those that believe “that the interests of one’s own nation are separate from the interests of other nations or the common interest of all nations.” Anyone that holds a “political ideology that considers the state to be unnecessary, harmful,or undesirable.” Anyone that possesses an “intolerance toward other religions.” Those that “take action to fight against the exploitation of the environment and/or animals”
“Anti-Gay,” “Anti-Immigrant,” “Anti-Muslim,”“The Patriot Movement,” “Opposition to equal rights for gays and lesbians”
Members of the Family Research Council, the American Family Association, Members of the American Border Patrol/American Patrol, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the Tennessee Freedom Coalition, the Christian Action Network, citizens networks.
Those “opposed to the New World Order,” engaged in “conspiracy theorizing”, those that believe that Mexico, Canada and the United States “are secretly planning to merge into a European Union-like entity that will be known as the ‘North American Union’”
Anyone opposed to Agenda 21, anyone concerned about FEMA camps, that “fears impending gun control or weapons confiscations,” the militia movement, sovereign citizen movement, that “don’t think they should have to pay taxes”
Anyone that “complains about bias,” that “believes in government conspiracies, that “is frustrated with mainstream ideologies,” that “visits extremist websites/blogs,” that “establishes website/blog to display extremist views," that “attends rallies for extremist causes,” that “exhibits extreme religious intolerance," that is personally connected with a grievance,” that “suddenly acquires weapons,” that “organizes protests inspired by extremist ideology”
“Militia or unorganized militia,” “General right-wing extremist,” Citizens that have “bumper stickers” that are patriotic or anti-U.N., those that refer to an “Army of God,” that are “fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation),” that are “anti-global,” that are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” that “revere individual liberty,” that “believe in conspiracy theories”
Those that have “a belief that one’s personal and/or national ‘way of life’ is under attack,” that possess “a belief in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in paramilitary preparations and training or survivalism,” that would “impose strict religious tenets or laws on society (fundamentalists)” that would “insert religion into the political sphere,” that would “seek to politicize religion,” that have “supported political movements for autonomy.”
Anyone that is “anti-abortion.”
Anyone that is “Rightwing" including “Returning veterans,” those concerned about “illegal immigration,” those that “believe in the right to bear arms,” anyone that is engaged in “ammunition stockpiling”
Anyone that exhibits “fear of Communist regimes” “Anti-abortion activists" those against illegal immigration, those that talk about “the New World Order” in a “derogatory” manner
Those that have a negative view of the United Nations, that are opposed “to the collection of federal income taxes,” that supported former presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr, that display the Gadsden Flag (“Don’t Tread On Me”)
Those that believe in “end times” prophecies, including Evangelical Christians.
That is why alarm bells should go off whenever Barack Obama (or his Democrat minions) speaks of the need to crack down on “extremism”.
FYI, Miranda rights are only required when the defendant/suspect/interviewee is under custody. General Flynn was free to go at any time. Hence, no custody.
But, the deception, and trickery by Comey/McCabe/FBI is inexcusable. In effect, McCabe lied to Flynn. But, they can do that according to SCOTUS.
The behavior of interviewing someone where the info was already known, in hopes that they would lie is reprehensible. But, as the thought goes, NEVER talk to law enforcement without your lawyer being present and can be a filter.

It was a counterintelligence investigation, not a criminal investigation.
What gives Mulehead the right to release anything? I though he was to do an investigation and submit a final report. Anything else just proves its political.
BTW, can my fellow freepers help me out. My wife is so infuriated with what Pelosi and her fellow commies, including the media, are doing to the guy we elected as President that I am afraid she is going to blow her top. Are your wives doing this too? Don’t get me wrong, I love it that she is able to see thru the media lies and will not wavier in her conservative views. Its just she scares me when I walk in a room and find her screaming at the TV. I paid big bucks for that big screen and I am afraid she may use it for target practice. Aw heck, I guess that would be a good excuse to get that new 85” screen.
ANYONE talking to the FBI simply needs to respond to every question with “I plead the 5th”. Otherwise, if you so much as misstate the time of day they will entrap you.
“It was a counterintelligence investigation, not a criminal investigation. “
If it was a criminal interview, then he is required to have had his rights read. Law enforcement doesn’t get to merely recategorize criminal interviews to get around Miranda.
“It was a counterintelligence investigation, not a criminal investigation.”
Yes, but the result was that it was used for a criminal prosecution. Distinction without a difference.
You don’t even have to plead the fifth just say “either arrest me or leave me alone, I am going. Bye.”
“General Flynn was free to go at any time. Hence, no custody.”
You have heard the meme countless times; charge me or let me go. They can NEVER force a person to testify. Fifth amendment. The interviewee has to give consent at all times.
They didn’t give the judge the actual 302’s. Does the judge know to ask for those as well? I hope?
And TV news is more about emotion than information. Yes, they give you information, but for the purpose of generating a feeling more than fill your head with encyclopedic information. And what info. do you gleam by watching more than 30 minutes of it? They just repeat the same thing all day.
Lastly, my wife would be the same way except she works full time, so she doesn't have much time to get into TV news. I am worried she'll have the same fate as yours when she retires in a few years in her 50's.
I do not think it will be thrown out. Sullivan has had ample reasons to do so before now, including Miranda.
I think he is just trying to make it look good.
Focusing on ephemeral technicalities is playing their game of Rule of Lawfare.
These are whatever they say they are - cointel or criminal, as the situation warrants (e.g., with Sessions) - and everyone plays along (e.g., Sessions did).
The FBI/DOJ violated both spirit and letter of the Rule of Law to entrap an innocent man for political purposes.
