“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.

Zoom will be monitored from China.
They wanted to get rid of him because he was going to order an audit of all the intelligence agencies. You are talking about a big threat to billions of dollars in off the books operations (drugs, gun running, human trafficing, etc.).
And Sean JUST pointed at the flair on his jacket and said, “By the way, I have an FBI pin here, and I have a CIA pin here. Why? For the ninety-nine percent that do a great job and protect us.”
ARRRRGH!!
At least his wife can afford to pay his lawyer’s bills.
Documents couldn t be released because of being used in grand jury investigation.
“what did Wray know, when did he know it.”
Considering his past years in the FBI, I think we have to assume he’s in deep, and has been since the beginning.
Guarantee you the socialist Feds did the same thing to Stone.
” I’ll never trust the FBI ever again.”
I already don’t. Between the FBI lab being the most corrupt lab ever, the myriad of persecutions against Trump and his staff, the phony prosecutions for “lying to a federal agent”, there is no way the rank and file don’t know about these things and yet they have done nothing to prosecute the criminals within the FBI.
And yet not one of the criminals from the FBI will face any prosecution.
FU FBI! FUBO! FU COMEY!
Welcome to the party. I haven’t trusted them since Ruby Ridge.
Good chuckle on that one! Hillary and her ilk run free, or did you forget that? Biden gets the pass on sexual excapades but Cavanaugh gets attacked. Lots of Democrats have gotten passes while Republicans face the music, sometimes bogus.
Right. Barr is in charge of Wray right? Barr should be demanding answers as to what he knew and when, did he with hold the docs? He should be fired. Love to have Flynn replace him but no way would he get confirmed.
Remember Pence said he lied to him when asked about the contact.
this is so good. time to get the jiffy pop.

This is why you DO NOT to talk to law enforcement without an attorney present.
LTG Flynn learned the hard way. Make sure all of you do not learn the hard way.
Continue your search, your brain must be out there somewhere.
That gave me a good laugh.
Word is the notes are from Priestap
You don’t say. So much for the “Priestap is a white hat and he is cooperating” sunshine pumping.
It looks like a number of FBI agents need capital punishment.
Can they request poison over electricity, drugs, or bullets?
You have an incredible ability to discern legal from illegal activity.
Tell us, you wipe your mouth after pooping, right?
