One would think that Flynn was sophisticated enough to know better than to talk to them. He probably had a swelled head - he was a big, “respected” player in DC now, people were telling him and he believed it. Flynn’s guard was down, Comey knew it, and took advantage of the situation.
LE doesn’t always have to tell a subject about potential legal jeopardy. They have all sorts of tricks to make a canary sing. We also know of cases of “planting of evidence”. This case shows experienced agents were directed to deliberately and selectively not to follow their own protocols; they should not benefit from their breaking their own internal rules. And some other questions need to be answered.
Is there anyone who considered how this might damage the reputation of the institution so as to cause citizens to distrust their government? Exactly why was it so urgent to talk to Flynn about what they needed to talk about at that time - why could it not wait a few weeks, a month, etc? Who decided it was urgent and why? This leads all the way back to Obama colluding with the Clintons to overturn the election. Cheryl Mills CYA emailed to herself on Inaugeration Day, why?
The upside is that the FBI had their ONE SHOT, and they used it on Flynn.
Now everybody knows better. I suspect virtually NO ONE will be talking to the FBI in the future.
Not White House Chiefs of Staff, not the homeless guy who witnessed a bank robbery. NO ONE.
If you haven't seen this, here's the link:
Anti-Trump Corker was the only Republican named in the article to have received this info.
Dan Bogino on his daily podcast a few days ago explained it as:
1. The Obama regime decided to shut down a Russian establishment on the outskirts of Washington supposedly to punish the Russians.
2. The Russian ambasador calls Mike Flynn to see what the heck.
3. Flynn was vacationing in the Dominican Republic where wiretaps are EASY.
4, The phone call is recorded and leaked to (NY TIMES).
5. Flynn is interviewed and if he differs from anything in the recorded call, they get him for lying.
Bogino has said in other broadcasts that Obama had warned Trump about Flynn, that he could not be trusted. In fact, Bogino said that Flynn was the only one that Obama talked about like that. It turns out that Flynn had the goods on some of Obama's scams and that Obama's group of criminals HAD TO GET FLYNN out of the way. They did!
At about time 11 Bogino talks about the FBI 302 interview form is dated IN AUGUST WHEN THE INTERVIEW WAS DONE IN WHAT, JANUARY? WTF?
Obviously the FBI is up to no good. Most likely they generated a NEW 302 interview form with Flynn. I'm sure the original exists and if it does, Mueller is screwed again.
