I do not think they served him that well. They should have made a better case for entrapment, fruit of the poisonous tree, or similar argument.
Really. Jeez it’s like they just teed him up.
This was one of the best entrapment cases in history.
The FBI contacted General Flynn as part of the transition team. They just want to chat about the incoming administration’s foreign policy ideas and plans. Very informal; just a getting-to-know-you thing.
Gen Flynn actually *asks* if he should bring a lawyer. Noooooooo, no, of course not! Not necessary! Trust us.
We all know what happened next. The agents, led by Stzrok, had every intention of setting their traditional perjury trap.
At no point was General Flynn told that anything he told agents could be later used against him.
He was never allowed or even told he could have an attorney with him.
Try this on some scum bag street criminal and dems will be screaming bloodyarse murder.
He probably should have been fully Mirandized at some point.
When General Flynn still refuses to play their games to take President Trump down, they deploy their nuclear option—they threaten his son with criminal prosecution.
Thus begins the destruction of a career military officer who is an actual war fighter, not a Perfumed Prince. General Flynn completely overhauled our CT strategy in the Middle East.
Note that the government’s lust to obliterate General Flynn did not begin with Trump. Flynn committed Truth Telling crimes against Obama.
The General was vocal in his opposition to BHO’s Afghanistan policy. And, even better; Flynn demanded an audit of the CIA, going all the way back to WWII (early Bush years).
The punchline to all of this is that General Flynn never lied to the FBI and they have acknowledged it.
This is so far beyond despicable. Why are we not rioting in the streets?
