Nearly all the lawyers touting the “routine” line have at least peripheral connections to the Deep State.
They’re simply trying to protect their team.
If routine, they should be shut down TODAY!!!
I remember a time when the left hated the fact that big govt spied in its citizens
If this is routine for those agencies disband then and start over
Which is why you should NEVER, EVER say anything to them (or any other LEOs) other than “Do I have the right to remain silent?”
Lawyers will never stop lawying, will they. Never mind telling lawys that are so transparent.
Reading some of those comments PROVE that LAWYERS are EASILY CORRUPT.
No; the left hated the fact that government spied on terrorists.
Lawyers Say the FBI’s Tactics in Michael Flynn Case Were ‘Routine’
Although I’m pleased for General Flynn, until the perp walks begin, having learned from hard experience and expectation this tale remains of only passing interest to me.
I heard they already had a transcript of his conversation with the Russian, and didn’t show it to him in advance of questioning. If true, how did they get a transcript? Was it wire tapped? Nice job FBI, its routine.
The FBI, in Mueller’s Boston office, wrongly prosecuted and wrongly convicted 4 men they knew were innocent for murder, in some part to protect Whitey Bulger (who mysteriously was beaten to death after being transferred unexpectedly to a new prison during the Mueller investigation of Trump). Those innocent men rotted in jail for decades. Two of them died in prison. They were innocent. The taxpayers paid out $100 million in restitution.
Then they made Mueller head of the FBI.
Then special prosecutor of Trump.
Not a peep from the so-called “civil libertarians”.
Considering the “lawyers” who were interviewed for this BS, classic fake news......
Of course the Russian ambassador's phone was tapped.
It better have been, otherwise why have the NSA at all?
The article points out that the attorney that thought the tactics were bad testified against impeachment. They don’t say he voted against Trump. The others that thought it was SOP background was unidentified, lawyers for the whistle blower (anti-Trump) or CNN (LOL).
Opinion disguised as journalism.
pfl
Of course it was routine. That does not release the thugs from the charge of treason.
And why is Wray not charged with obstruction of justice when he hides evidence?
Answer: Both.
A retired agent told me the felony of lying to an agent is derived from the crime of lying on a federal document or application. Like lying on a social security application. He said years ago the Bureau realized how they could use it to go after people they did not have real evidence against. It is much more effective than the impeding investigation misdameanors local LEOs use.
I will add, the article doesn’t question if this was the approach the FBI used in questioning Hillary.
Since entrappment of innocent people and forcing confessions by threatoning thier families is routine, we need just need more prisons for all the fbi agents.
