EXCLUSIVE: Transcripts of House Intelligence Committee interviews that have been cleared for release show top law enforcement and intelligence officials affirming they had no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election, senior administration and intelligence community officials told Fox News on Wednesday.
This would align with the results of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation — which found no evidence of illegal or criminal coordination between President Trump, the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016 — but the numerous transcribed interviews could raise further questions about committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s past statements saying that there was “direct evidence” of collusion.
“Schiff is in panic mode,” a senior administration official told Fox News.

I'd gladly have my mind changed on this. I don't hate Flynn, and I hope he sues everyone involved for a trillion dollars ... but I really wish he'd just go away. He has completely undermined himself -- and his former boss -- at almost every step in this process.
302’s and Fisa apps are sworn to, with regard to accuracy and verification, respectively. Swearing on any government form is a crime of perjury, at minimum. False statements by federal law enforcement officers break their oath of position as well.
Flynn followed the advice of his lawyers to plead, lawyers who have since been shown to have been working secretly for the prosecution. There was clearly an abundance of prosecutorial misconduct taking place then. The fact that nothing is being done about it now appears to be more of the same.
The FISA applications in question are even more egregious, because I'd say there's a damn good possibility that the FBI did everything according to the letter of the law even if their intentions were nefarious. For example, if they knew the Steele dossier was fake but used it to get FISA warrants, then the FISA warrant applications themselves might have been perfectly "legal" if they simply cited the dossier verbatim and identified its source.
Release the damned transcripts.
Today.

Good questions, but they are official records, at a minimum, and falsely modifying or submitting official records of any kind in the DoJ is surely a crime, as there are many laws against just regular citizens falsifying government docs.
If I forge Babe Ruth's signature on a baseball and put it on display in my place of business and tell people that my grandfather knew Babe Ruth, then there's no basis for a criminal case. But if I represent it as a genuine autograph and sell it for $100,000 then I'm liable to be charged with fraud. And if I sit in a trial or a deposition and I testify that it's real, then surely I've committed a crime.
The point here is that there's no "actionable" wrongdoing until I take the object that I've falsely described and actually do something with it.
