Explosive, newly unsealed evidence documenting the FBI's efforts to target national security adviser Michael Flynn -- including a top official's handwritten memo debating whether the FBI's "goal" was "to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired" -- calls into question whether Brandon Van Grack, a Justice Department prosecutor and former member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Team, complied with a court order to produce favorable evidence to Flynn.
Since February 2018, Van Grack has been obligated to comply with D.C. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan's standing order in the Flynn case to produce all evidence in the government’s possession “that is favorable to defendant and material either to defendant’s guilt or punishment.”
The order also requires the government to submit favorable defense evidence to the court, including possible "impeachment evidence" that could undermine witnesses, even if the government believes the evidence “not to be material.”

Van Grack sounds like just another COUP PLOTTER!
We obviously have a 2-tier system of justice, where government people can commit crimes and not be prosecuted the way a normal person would be prosecuted.
I say, if we’re going to have a 2-tier system of justice, it should work the other way — government employees who commit crimes should face penalties much higher than normal people (longer potential jail terms). With additional financial penalties added on. Give these people a real incentive to NOT do what they have been doing.
The whole lying to a federal agent law has to be done away with.
Besides that requiring all interrogation.interviews be audio and visually recorded.
Agent run away from recorders
Listening to WMAL yesterday in the afternoon, after Rush. K.T. McFarland was on and stated the FBI tried the same BS with her.
But will Barr and Durham ever notice and get indictments on this Deep State seditionists?!?
Time for him to fall on his own sword.
The thugs at the FBI(Fraud,Blackmail an Insidious) should be breaking rocks in the hot sun and pay back all money from their years of disservice by taking it out of their hides. Anything less is a travesty. They need to be BUSTED yesterday. The American people cannot rely on the authorities in charge to carry out justice along with a myriad of other issues. They are either with us or against us. The time is long past to resolve these injustices through regular methods. A second Declaration of Independence is in order. Be ready to give everything up if you truly want to salvage any semblance of liberty that is left in this wasteland of of the American experience.
I had two FBI agents show up at my office sometime between 1994-96. They came without any warning or prior conversation whatsoever. They claimed they were investigating a crime that took place in Missouri. I was in southeast Texas at the time. They never warned me that I was a person of interest in this alleged crime in any way. I never knew whether I was or wasn’t. They never took a single note during the meeting. The meeting lasted about 45 minutes.
I did not know that it was a crime to lie to an FBI agent. They never told me that anything that I said could be used against me in a court of law.
These type of FBI interviews that produce the infamous 302 should now be video recorded every time they occur. Not for the protection or convenience of the FBI, but for the protection of the person being interviewed. If this had been the case with Gen. Flynn, none of this FBI criminal conduct would have cost Gen. Flynn his fortune and reputation. The FBI should be forced to use the technology available today.
We obviously have a 2-tier system of justice, where government people can commit crimes and not be prosecuted the way a normal person would be prosecuted.
The laws are in already in place and the evidence is already overwhelming yet, no one is being prosecuted for these terrible crimes. The fact that there’s no significant response to these stark, scary happenings should be telling.
Spot on.
I’d like to see a two-step approach —
1) Prosecute the people who have done this. That would be a major shift. So far, no evidence that it is going to happen, but it ought to happen.
2) If we ever see evidence that prosecution of government employees is actually possible, I would like to see enhanced penalties for criminals with government jobs. Send them the message: You really CAN be prosecuted, and if you are it will TOTALLY destroy you. So, just do your job and don’t be a criminal.
There would be huge benefits if the rank-and-file at the FBI actually said to each other, “Hey, you know, you’re talking about modifying a 302. You know you can’t do that, right? That’s, like, 20 years in jail. Stop. I’ll turn you in. Not joking, because I’m not getting sucked into a 20-year jail term because you thought you’d get fancy with this guy’s 302. No way.”
I mean: that’s actually how it’s supposed to work. But obvisouly, we aren’t there.
Another one of Hillary's thugs?
This is a great point. At a minimum, they should have to return whatever salary they were paid for work that was done under the pretext of helping the state/country.
Margot Clevland at The Federalist called him Van Quack in one of her twitter threads..
It is clear and convincing proof he met the order with utter contempt.
NEVER speak to an FBI agent without a lawyer with a recording device.
Looks like some of the top swamp members are about to get the cell door slammed on their stinger.
I hope so, and you are probably right. But after Bush gave Berger a pass and Session refused to indict the corrupt Lois Lerner (a slam-dunk case), I have become skeptical.
Trump doesn’t back down he’s committed to drain the swamp.
He’s true to the MAGA
