Years ago I sued my state. They changed what was said in depositions. When I realized what was going on, I insisted on court reporter videos. The other side begged my attorney not to do it. Lesson for all: when you’re up against a powerful opponent in court, insist that all proceedings be video-taped and make them hand the video to you as soon as it’s over...NOT mail it to you later.
In this day and age, the corrupt FIB relies on agents memory as evidence. In any other case, this would be hearsay and thrown out. As Reagan said, “Trust but verify”.
The FIB has done immeasurable damage to its reputation. Reputation once lost is nearly impossible to regain.

But I think I will also try to stay out of court.

And I don’t think that even works anymore.
It might not be along the same lines, but years ago, Anthony Russo made a documentary, Freedom to Fascism, which tore apart the individual income tax system and the IRS. Interviews of all sorts of folks that worked for the IRS or went up against the IRS. One such individual was going through an audit, or something like that. He and his attorney met with the IRS Investigator and secretly filmed it. There you could see the Investigator, seemingly, taking meticulous thorough notes on a yellow legal pad, IIRC. Well, court time came. Investigator was asked if any notes were taken. The answer was, NO. Defendant showed the video. Investigator committed Perjury. Judge ruled that the video couldn’t be used as evidence, tossed it and the guy lost his case.
Nothing will happen to the DOJ. Gen Flynn might get cut loose and then fight to get his reputation back. But nothing will happen to the DOJ, especially considering who brought the case against him. If it was some rookie, AUSA in some satellite federal court, that no one knew existed, maybe. That rookie is fresh blood. But no one is going to take down the Dem Hit Squad that was assembled to go after the President.
Another scam that was pulled on me by the county & state during the 1990's was they would back date the postage date to show they mailed documents on time, only because one time when they did this, I was able to ask: how did a document dated 4 day's after the mailing date get into the envelope? Mailing date was in the teen's, Document's date was in the 20's. Even the judge didn't buy that. I was shocked.
