Analogy:
My dog’s name is Crossley.
One year from now, the FBI will “unofficially” ask you about my dog.
If you say his name is “Crosby”, you’ll be charged with lying to police.
If you say “I don’t remember”, you’ll be charged with withholding evidence.
If you say “I don’t know”, you’ll be charged with obstructing justice.
And we, FBI included, all know d@#^ well you won’t remember his name.
Seems that’s an oversimplified form of what Flynn was charged with.
“...Seems that’s an oversimplified form of what Flynn was charged with....”
Yep. It’s a sad state of affairs.
That’s why one immediately pleads the 5th and asks for an attorney when an FBI agent asks for anything more than an ID.
What happened to the original fbi 302s filled out right after the Flynn ambush interview? The one cited in Mule Ears’ charging document is dated months after the interview. What changed from the original?
The only way to avoid this is to NEVER talk to law enforcement authorities.
