The insufferable and FIRED former FBI Director James Comey
aka....Comey should have kept is mouth shut....”I wouldn’t have gotten away with it”....
From my vantage point, here's the dilemma in this case as I see it:
1. If Flynn were to fight this case, he would most likely win -- maybe even win so big that the FBI and Mueller's team would be cited for prosecutorial misconduct.
2. If Flynn were to fight this case, Mueller's team would simply drop the charges for lying (since they can't present any of the evidence of his lying -- from the Kislyak wiretaps -- in a court of law).
3. Instead, Flynn would be prosecuted for the more serious Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) violations.
Any Freepers have any insight on this? If you're a lawyer representing a client in Flynn's position, how would you go about dealing with this dilemma?
“The shock associated with the defeat led to a zealous effort to identify and understand the extent and machinations of this interference and to discover whether the Trump campaign was in any way involved”
Bunk. They knew damn well Trump and his people weren’t involved. How could they be? They were the ones who started the hoax in the first place in the summer with the Steele fabrication.
So, basically he was under investigation, they didn’t let him know that he was under investigation, they didn’t advise him of his Miranda Warnings and they interviewed him, under those circumstances anyway. Hmmmmmmm..... in REAL law enforcement investigations this is called, The Fruit From The Poisonous Tree. And everything obtained from it should be tossed. But, this is the FBI(Famous But Incompetent) and the DOJ at its most corrupt, so none of those rules matter.
However, the General should have been smarter than to talk to a bunch of flat foot FBI weenies who didn’t have the clearance to know what he knew and did.
And I'm sure Comey NEVER expected Flynn to opt out....even temporarily....which is why Comey confessed to "I wouldn't have gotten away with it"....
Is Comey due back before Congress for another amnesia session?
Bump!
Good article. I will keep my fingers crossed that larger forces are in play and that in the end, Gen. Flynn will be 100% vindicated.
Mueller must have known about the compromised interview of Flynn from the beginning. He knew Flynn had been advised against having legal representation. He knew the FBI deliberately withheld the warning about the legal consequences of lying to the FBI, yet he still pursued this case against Flynn. I don’t understand how any competent, or ethical lawyer/prosecutor could, in good faith, move ahead with charges against an American citizen when any evidence gleaned from that person was based on the failure of the FBI to follow standard protocol. Thus, the so-called evidence itself is compromised because the way the interview was obtained, and the methods used were inappropriate, and not standard procedure of the FBI. The fact that FBI officials argued about how the interview was handled is proof of that.
Chaos? what Chaos?

FBI knew prior to its interview that Flynn had made contact with Ambassador Kislyak......therefore the question should have never been asked.
No matter what Sullivan does, he has already denied justice: He has had ample reason to throw this out.
If this had been an Obama appointee, it would have been thrown out long before now.
