“What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute [Flynn] or get him fired?”
Handwritten notes from the FBI that had been withheld from Michael Flynn and his defense team show that the FBI's goal in investigating and ambushing Flynn was 'to get him fired.'
New documents filed under seal last week by the Department of Justice provide the clearest evidence yet that the investigation and subsequent prosecution of former White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was a set-up from the beginning. Handwritten notes from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that had been inappropriately withheld from Flynn’s defense team for years show that a key goal of the agents investigating Flynn was “to get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired.”
In early 2017, FBI agents planned to question Flynn under false pretenses and without his attorneys present regarding his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. At the time of those conversations, Flynn was the top foreign policy adviser of the president-elect of the United States. By the time of the ambush FBI interview, Flynn had already been appointed as the White House national security adviser.
In the handwritten FBI notes, the note-taker, whose identity was not made clear in the document production, wrote that an alternate goal is to “get [Flynn] to admit breaking the Logan Act,” a reference to a 1799 law restricting communications between private citizens and foreign governments. The law is widely viewed as unconstitutional and has never been used to successfully prosecute a single American citizen. The previously secret notes do not explain that Flynn was not a private citizen, but rather the incoming national security adviser at the time of his conversations with world leaders.

OMG you still trust the FBI now??? WACO, RUBY RIDGE, 9/11, Hillary’s emails and you have one ounce of trust left in them it quite amazing!!!
Where are the other FR morons who make comments like this everytime we get a report like this? Did their internet connection go on the fritz, or are they hiding in their mother's basement crying like little babies? As for you, stuff it up your fourth point of contact and never darken our door again.
I thought Tucker’s eyes were going to pop out of his head when she said that .
Yes.
“Word is the notes are from Priestap.”
I’d bet the rent you’re right.

Heads must roll in the FBI. Preferably literally. What snakes.
“And Dana Perino thinks Priestap should be given a chance to explain himself.”
Sure. Under oath in front of a Grand Jury.

We knew that they were creeps, however, seeing the smoking gun takes your breath away.
Plato? Socrates?
Creeps? I’m not sure there’s a word in the dictionary can do these people justice. “creeps”? Maybe something from Braveheart: “A gang of scheming snakes cannae’ agree on the color o’ shyte!”
I think that’s the right words.
Nothing more need to be said other than to ask, "Do you prosecute the FBI or Obama?"
Why did Flynn even return their phone calls? The White House should have told staff to ignore ALL Obama holdovers in every department.
“And Dana Perino thinks Priestap should be given a chance to explain himself.”
I saw that, Tucker’s eyes almost popped out of his head when she said that.
He said whoever wrote that note should be fired and arrested. She said something like “that would be an overreaction “. She is either a moron or a complete deep stater. Paul Ryan and the board must be making Tucker put her on. She was a less than zero on the show.
Step away from the stupid.
Sure puts the lie (again) to “99% of the agents are good people doing their job”. In all of this coup, not one person received an email by mistake, overheard a conversation (paging Eric CIAramella) or saw anything suspicious? Right! And I’ve got ocean front property in Kansas for sale.
Remember, if you deal with these criminals, the only word out of your mouth must be “LAWYER”. No name, no rank, no serial number.
Perino’s Deep State.
Babble-on is an apt screen name.
I was was truly disgusted by her response to this news!
I hope you’re being sarcastic or else you’re an idiot.
No more holidays on Nantucket for Billy P.
