If this is the philosophy motivating agents in the FBI, the FBI has become a rough agency and we should all be very afraid.
This is nothing more than, 'The End Justifies the Means'.
He said he lied to save his son.
Flynn pleaded to what the FBLie stipulated to save his son from prosecution.
I’d spit some Beechnut in that dude’s eye...
“a non-partisan 501(c)(4) whose mission is to safeguard the FBI from partisan politics”.
Ha! I’d say he failed miserably. Or has he been averting his eyes for at least a decade, while Obunga weaponized the intelligence agencies against any Republican rivals? His HIGH SOUNDING organization is more likely a cover for the very thing that’s been goin on. By their fruits ye shall know them!
Disband the FBI, prosecute and hang the traitors in public.
Flynn should have all charges dropped and restitution for his legal bills. All evidence is fruit of the poisoned tree. If FIB and CYA hadn’t started spying on Trump the candidate and Trump the President, Flynn would not have been interviewed and charged with lying.
If Mr. Davidson is so eager to protect the FIB from partisan politics, why isn’t he outing the bad actors? As with so many groups, the organization’s name is contrary to their stated mission. His group is there to protect the FIB from outside inspections.
Anyone interested in protecting the FBI should be focusing on their role in the attempted coup, including insisting those involved be prosecuted.
Half of America views the FBI as having turned into a politicized secret police, akin to the old KGB.
His binders-on views aren’t helping fix the bureau, which is obviously broken.
Lee Smith’s new book argues that Flynn, at worst, misspoke regarding sanctions. The basis of this is that Flynn did not think of Obama’s last minute acts sending Russian officials home as “sanctions.” He believed that the question he was asked had to do with previous sanctions related to Russia’s Ukraine invasion.
Former DAG Whitaker has been pushing this nonsense on Fox. “You can’t lie to the FBI, blah, blah, blah.”
Of course the FIB is free to launch a perjury trap inside the White House and use any justification they want to do it. /s
The former agent whitewashes Comey’s own admitted reasons for sending the agents over to question Flynn. Comey essentially admitted they did so because he figured he could get away with it. He admitted that conducting the questioning without giving notice to the WH or telling Flynn what they were up to was totally outside standard protocol and regulation.
Question Mr Davidson: wouldn’t you say that partisan FBI perjury traps are against due process?
Great point
Flynn didn’t say what the final 302 said, as it was altered to include info not in the original 302 notes. Does this guy not read Sundance?
It is difficult to believe that in this day and age, the FBI still does NOT record interviews, either video or audio. Nothing could be more dishonest. The FBI relies on agent’s notes and subsequent 302 forms.
In Gen. Flynn’s case, the Government now claims that the original 302 forms have been “lost.” But the Government thinks this doesn’t matter, because Flynn pleaded guilty. Yes, but to avoid further legal costs to him and his family.
The courts should demand that the FBI record all interviews! Do away with the charade.
Or move the FBI headquarters to Iowa. CIA to New Mexico. And NSA to Montana. The bad actors will all self deport.
This guy is part of the swamp.
One moral of this story. Do not talk to the police. Do not talk to the FBI. Just politely say no.
These people want Flynn's blood.
Court decisions have favored the government regarding them lying to you during an interview or investigation. That said, once you fore arm someone with “this is not an investigation†you have completely voided that defense of what you do IMO. Someone lies to your face when you possess info that is different from what you know, should be followed with a direct question about it like: information available to us shows that is not the case. IOW, unless as the FBI did here, trying to trap someone into a nebulous lie, they should have braced him with the opportunity to explain his answer. If Flynn continued to “lie” they should have given him his rights as to go further would be wrong as they have gone from exploration to evidence gathering. So, how they proceeded in this matter shows it was a counter intel political inspired investigation using Flynn as a potential stepping stone. When we have our secret state testing candidates for their Fidelity, we are in a bizzaro world of whom is actually electing a representative. Furthermore, there is only one person in all of the executive branch who could have condoned this outrage. He is living in a mansion by the sea in Massachusetts.
