Flynn’s Lawyers: Mueller Team Wanted False Testimony, Possibly Retaliated When Rebuked
Epoch Times ^ | July 12, 2019 | Petr Svab

Prosecutors from the team of special counsel Robert Mueller wanted Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn to testify to something that isn’t true, Flynn’s lawyers said. When he refused, they tried to label him a co-conspirator in a case where they previously said he was only a witness.

A federal judge denied the prosecutors’ move, saying the government didn’t present enough evidence to introduce Flynn’s statement as one of a co-conspirator.

...

In his November 2017 guilty plea, he said that the forms submitted by lawyers for his now-defunct lobbying company, Flynn Intel Group (FIG), contained false and misleading statements. The prosecutors, however, recently asked him to testify that he signed those forms knowing about the falsities and intending for them.

He refused.

“Mr. Flynn cannot give that testimony because it is not true,” Flynn’s recently hired lawyers, Jesse Binnall, Sidney Powell, and

...

an FBI agent called Flynn Jr., who used to work for FIG but wasn’t charged in the Turkey case. The agent questioned Flynn Jr. “despite knowing that he was represented by counsel,” the filing stated. “The Agent persisted in trying to speak with him even after he said to call his attorney.”

The Mueller team may have previously threatened to implicate Flynn’s son in the case as a form of leverage against Flynn, opined former FBI agent and Epoch Times contributor Marc Ruskin.

...

Such an under-the-table deal would be “unethical,” Ruskin said ...

“To twist the father’s arm with regard to his child is a pretty low thing to do, but we’ve seen low things done in these cases

Democrats

It’s how they operate.

...Do you think Comey & that group would be making public statements if they thought there was a chance of them going to jail?....

sometimes when courtroom justice fails, street justice takes over the coup players might want to consider a lot of people have had enough of JUST US as it is these days

Lt. Flynn is much better off now that Sidney Powell is on the job.

And yet many cookie-cutter conservatives focus on Flynn’s perceived mistakes, not the Federal abuse of power.

“Look at what they’ll do to anyone who stands in their way. Donald Trump is a Billionaire. What defense do those of us out here in the cheap seats have against abuses like this?”

Exactly! This is another reason they hate Trump. He has enough resources to protect himself from them. The rest of us are only ‘free’ in America as long as we don’t fly above the radar in some manner, or become a challenge or threat to those in power.

The DNC’s “media” toads love to kiss Mueller’s ***, but he’s still a maggot at the top of the communist left’s attempted coup to topple the President of the United States. They all need to be thrown in jail.

The only way that we will see justice, is if some of the non-governmental people like Carter Page, Papadopaulos, Flynn, Manafort and any others, get in gear and:

SUE, SUE, SUE.

It’s the only thing that these people can do and they would be doing it to save the country.

No more fooling around.
