It was a TRAP: Sentencing memo in Mike Flynn case proves Comey’s FBI was trying to set him up

Deep State: A sentencing memo for former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn filed in federal court by special counsel Robert Mueller provides the clearest evidence yet that the retired three-star Army general was set up in a perjury trap by James Comey’s FBI.

According to a portion of the memo posted online, FBI agents were sent to question Flynn at the White House on Jan. 24, 2017, just four days after POTUS Donald Trump was inaugurated.

The memo makes it clear that Flynn had no idea he was being interrogated. What’s more, fired Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Comey’s second-in-command, instructed the agents — one of whom was former counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, who has also been fired — not to inform Flynn he was being interrogated for the specific purpose of ensnaring him.

Pardon him IMMEDIATELY!!!!

[taxcontrol]

I would think that the FBI’s failure to provide Miranda Rights statement, combined with the recommendation that no lawyer was needed would be sufficient grounds for dismissal.

[Signalman]

Flynn needs to have his lawyers attemp to overturn his conviction.

[marktwain]

I think a pardon is in order.

What I want to see is Muller and Company being forced to pay the amount they cost Flynn.

The ability to bankrupt political opponents for political reasons must be stopped.

That is what the Supreme Court did when they gave prosecutors unlimited immunity.

[PGR88]

Yes - pardon him immediately, and while doing so, publicly attack McCabe, Strzok, and the entire process as corrupt.

I no longer think Flynn was a victim here. He was working as an unregistered foreign lobbyist for the Islamic government of Turkey while serving as a senior advisor for the "America-first" presidential campaign of Donald Trump.

Screw him. At best, he was a legitimate target of a U.S. counter-intelligence operation. At worst, he was a mole working for the Obama/Clinton cabal whose sole purpose was to justify a covert surveillance campaign against Trump.

At this point, I doubt that the Democrats even care if the charges against Flynn are dismissed because the original intent was and always has been to damage President Trump in any way possible and as much as possible.

This revelation was not disclosed prior to the federal judge presiding over the Flynn case demanding that the Mueller team turn over all relevant and potentially exculpatory evidence that had been withheld from Flynn, his legal team and the presiding judge himself when it became obvious that Flynn had been set up by the FBI and Mueller was part of the set up.

The only reason Mueller's prosecutors are disclosing this now is because they got caught and are trying to do damage control to try to keep themselves from being sanctioned

[major-pelham]

Only a dedicated Obamanaut (Comey) could ever think that problem set through and come out where Comey came out. What a putz. And he thinks he’s the smartest man in the world to boot. LOL.

[afterhoursarmory]

Wow...that’s out there...

[Blue House Sue]

The FBI sets-up people?

Wow.

I never would have thought that.

I hope the supreme court that's now under our control throws out all the cases and stops wasting our time and money on this witch hunt. It's about time! ----------------------------- Amy Confidence Club

There is no longer any reason to speak to any Federal agent other than to tell them to eff off and die in a fire.

Keep the "die in a fire" part to yourself, of course.

[Rurudyne]

There’s should be no perjury charge possible simply resulting from talking to officials when there’s no underlying crime in question.

[Rapscallion]

The entire case should be dismissed on the basis of Miranda disregard.

[Sacajaweau]

Working as an unregistered foreign lobbyist is so common place, IIRC, no one has ever been punished.

[rolling_stone]

they didn't charge him with perjury but false statements 18 usc 1001 materially false statement.."knowingly and willfully"

For some reason, in "Preview" mode, I cannot get paragraph separation. So I apologize in advance, if this response is a continuous paragraph. 18 U.S. Code § 1622 - Subornation of perjury *Whoever procures another to commit any perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury, and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 774; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(I), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.) *To establish a case of subornation of perjury, a prosecutor must demonstrate that perjury was committed; that the DEFENDANT PROCURED THE PERJURY CORRUPTLY, knowing, believing or having reason to believe it to be false testimony; and that the defendant knew, believed or had reason to believe that the perjurer had knowledge of the falsity of his or her testimony. **Conspiracy to suborn perjury may be prosecuted irrespective of whether perjury has been committed. The two witness rule does not apply in conspiracy prosecutions. **SOLICITATION OF PERJURED TESTIMONY also may BE PROSECUTED AS OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE irrespective of whether the perjured testimony took place. United States v. Silverman, 745 F.2d 1386, 1395 (11th Cir. 1984). *Because the crime of subornation of perjury is distinct from that of perjury, the suborner and perjurer are not accomplices; however, A PERSON WHO CAUSES A WITNESS A FALSE DOCUMET TO BE INTRODUCED THROUGH AN INNOCENT WITNESS can be held liable as a principal under 18 U.S.C. § 2(b). United States v. Walser, 3 F.3d 380, 388 (11th Cir. 1993) https://www.justice.gov/jm/criminal-resource-manual-1752-subornation-perjury Some may disagree, but by pure definition FROM US CODE / LAW ITSELF, "Subornation of Perjury" has been blatantly committed by multiple actors trying to "trap", or "force", or "coerce", through threat of personal wellbeing (livelihood) almost everyone currently being accused of, or falsely admitting to "Perjury", and its being done to execute manufactured evidence to carry out a real coup' against Trump. "Subornation of Perjury" is egregious. It is a flagrant violent violation of law, practically rooted in the concept of "guilty until proven innocent", and is true "OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE". However, it is even worse, as it is done under threat of harm to family, finances, and threat of prison. It is guilty because we say you are, and you must agree, or we will tear your entire family apart, or treat them even worse if you do not comply, all in an attempt to establish "false testimony under oath" to carry out an illegal "COUP"! In this case, the "Subornation of Perjury" it is a federally manufactured crime, based on a REAL POLITICAL CONSPIRACY, involving foreign persons from Britain and the Kremlin, in an investigation which required illegal "NO PROBABLE CAUSE" FISA Warrants. This injurious "Subornation of Perjury" is "Obstruction of Justice", being committed through a "Foreign and Domestic" conspiracy to carry out a real "coup" against America, and as well to cover up massive corruption and true high crimes committed by the same actors carrying out the coup conspiracy! If this real coup' conspiracy is successful, our entire US legal system, and our individual liberty have been formally eliminated! Those involved must be proactively treated with extreme prejudice. By definition, all involved are truly guilty of "Sedition AND Treason". We are truly and fundamentally close to the loss of our liberty, our sovereign electorate, and the supremacy of our US Constitution!
