KT McFarland: FBI tried to set me up for 'perjury trap' in Trump-Russia probe
Fox News ^ | February 21, 2020 | By Julia Musto

Former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland said Friday that the FBI -- under the purview of the Mueller investigation -- tried to set up her up in a "perjury trap."

Appearing on "Fox & Friends" with host Brian Kilmeade, McFarland -- who served under former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn -- explained that her life "went to hell" at the beginning of the Russia probe because investigators were convinced she was President Trump's to the Russians.

"The FBI showed up at my house unannounced. I was all by myself. They come in and I said, 'Do I need a lawyer for anything? I have never met with any Russians. I have never dealt with any Russians,'" she explained.

The agents said that while they couldn't tell her not to get a lawyer, they just wanted a "little bit of information" to help them with the investigation.

"So, I naively went along with it. The whole time they were setting me up for a perjury trap," she told Kilmeade. "Because Brian, they seized all of my files, my documents, text messages, cell phones from the period I was in government...They had control of them. They wouldn't let me have control of them."

However, the search turned out to be fruitless for all parties involved.

"They thought they could pressure me to say, 'Well, I lied in one of my early talks with you guys when I didn't have access to my information,'" she mused.

McFarland added that she was questioned about a 90-minute period spent in the president's Mar-a-Lago Club in which she didn't have any recorded correspondence or conversation in her phone records. That's when, McFarland said, they asked her whether that was the time she met with Trump to get marching orders.

P.S. If you are ever questioned by the FBI, they will come in pairs. One will ask questions and one will “take notes”. Those notes become your official answers, whether you actually said what the second guy wrote or not. To combat this, put your smart phone on Voice Memos and tell the agents you will be recording the conversation. If they are looking to entrap you, they will end the meeting immediately.

For a long time some people have claimed that the FBI was involved in the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. I used to dismiss that as wild conspiracy thinking. Any more, I don’t know. It seems that the FBI is capable of anything.

Precisely. And I don’t advocate taking the fifth, I said never waive your fifth amendment rights. The first thing police try to do is get you to sign a waiver of your rights, never sign away your rights.

People need to put this revelation in perspective. Trump has opened the 16" guns on the FBI/DOJ, and this is just more ammunition. Taking on KT McFarland is like taking on all the globalist RINOs in the Republican party. This was the dumbest effin thing these tweedle-dum tweedle-dee FBI agents could have done.

You don't get more gold plated credentials than KT. You just don't.

“...an Iraqi nuclear scientist taking an interest in a US port.”

Especially when they turned over the operation of the container terminal to them all the while concealing who was going to be running it from the Canaveral Port Authority and Congress.

Seems kinda strange that this has been kept under wraps.

Chillingly,

if DJT doesn’t win a second term, many patriots on this forum might need a copy of this in their files.

The FBI is a criminal enterprise, IMHO.

Did the FBI have a warrant when they collected all devices, emails, texts, etc.?

Yet another example of what the deep state can and will do to any American citizen. Never ever speak to an “officer of the court” at any level to include police (i.e. fbi, atf, state police, county police, city police) or any lawyer unless they are on contract with you to represent you.

With all the corruption and criminal behavior coming out about the FBI/DOJ/CIA I wouldn’t put anything passed them at this point. I grew up in a strong law and order family. One uncle was a cop of 35 years, another a fireman. My brother-in-law is a cop of 35 years and my son just started as a police officer. I have served on jury duty 3 times over the years and took it quite seriously. I have probably sat on at least a dozen trials from civil cases to murder. I have convicted and sentenced people to 30 years in prison, found people not guilty, even caught a judge screwing up instructions resulting in a mistrial.

All this on the state level and I never lost a nights sleep because I trusted the system. At the federal level I couldn’t convict anyone because I would have a reasonable doubt in my mind after the exposed criminal behavior by the feds. Their ham handed, third world, banana republic utter contempt for the law and the people they allegedly proclaim to work for makes it so they are not trusted but feared like the gestapo, where the people are their enemy.

I have been called for jury duty three times--twice state courts for criminal charges (drug dealer, armed robbery of a liquor store) and once for a federal court (civil case--woman who had been fired for a good reason claimed that it was not justified and wanted several years back pay plus money for emotional distress).

The first time the accused decided to do a plea bargain before the jurors were sent to deliberate; the second time I was an alternate and was told I could leave when the jurors began to deliberate; the third time it did not take us long to reach a unanimous verdict...the only drawback to that one was the court was 50 miles away and the trial lasted two or three days). The judge in the last case was an Obama appointee but seemed to be a fair-minded judge.
