Michael Flynn News

[Ben]

It might be an interesting week. Uncovered evidence apparently indicates Michael Flynn was setup by fed.gov:

People should HANG, if true.

I doubt they'll even be indicted. MAYBE someone will lose their job... and get a several million $$ book deal or gig on CNN.

[RoadKingLarry]

Anyone that's been paying attention already knows Flynn was set up.

[Perd Hapley]

It would be nice if some of these criminals could be treated like criminals.

[French G.]

If true the goal was to overthrow a duly elected government. It's treason, behave accordingly.

Claire Wolfe rule?

“America is at that awkward stage; it's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.”

[dogmush]

Is it, though?

His previous lawyers just "forgot" to send over 6,800 documents to his new lawyers.

FUNNY how they happened to find these just as the Feds were forced to cough up a bunch of material never submitted...

Just a "miscommunication". Nothing nefarious, at all.

Hand written FBI notes indicate the setup was in place:

Unsealed FBI notes reveal the intent of the FBI’s 1/24/17 interview of Flynn:

“What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute [Flynn] or get him fired?”

FBI Notes confirm it was all a pretext.

I honestly think that's Priestep covering himself. He's posing it as a question, suggesting he wasn't going along with the idea that the rest of the conspirators were clearly going for.

[HankB]

From what I've heard and read, the question isn't so much whether Flynn will be retried or acquitted, the real question is which FBI officials or agents will themselves be going to jail.

Now this would be interesting.

I wonder if legacy media would blow a gasket over this, or just try to ignore Flynn's vindication.

[Ben]

I just read that more information was released indicating the FBI was going to shut the whole investigation down and move on, but then Peter Strzok pushed to keep it going. The same guy who shut down the Hillary Clinton investigation early.

Isn't it such a coincidence that all the same people were all working on very high profile political investigations of both parties?

Even weirder is that they seem to have acted differently depending on which political party was being investigated. WEIRD. What a fluke for the non-partisan straight shooters at the FBI!

I know it was all just a fluke because ALL THOSE NON-PARTISAN, DUTIFUL field agents who are totally not corrupt would have walked out, or spoken up about such blatant corruption at the highest level, right?

The washing machine is already in spin mode.

Funny how her name almost always pops up.

They are just following orders. 

[French G.]

Still waiting...

[RocketMan]

Still waiting...

I doubt much will come from this.  Perhaps former FBI agent Peter Strzok and DoJ lawyer Lisa Page, the two that did most of the grunt work, will take a fall.
Flynn will have to be pardoned by Trump to get any kind of relief from what happened to him.

edited to correct Page's employment description

You have a lot more faith in the government than I do.

[Ron]

You have a lot more faith in the government than I do.

I agree.

The Trump coup and insurgency has been fun but it turns out the deep state really is just our government.

[RocketMan]

The DoJ has dropped its case against Gen. Flynn.  Given the damage deliberately and falsely done by the government to him and his family, he is certainly due to some sort of compensation.  But, I won't be holding my breath.

[K Frame]

The left is going absolutely batshit insane about this...

It's pretty incredible to see them defend the FBI's actions like this.

It's even more telling that Obama-administration officials are also at odds with FBI's conduct in this case.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/intel-transcripts-obama-officials-no-empirical-evidence-trump-russia-collusion

The left is seeing every hope they had at undermining the Trump administration crumbling before them at the same time best hope for someone who could beat Trump is crashing and burning in his own sex scandal.

MSNBC's current "banner headline" is a quote from some schmuck who is saying that dropping the case goes contrary to the "rule of law."

No mention of FBI's actions being contrary to the rule of law... But they wouldn't mention that, because Orange Man BAD!

From the link -- the "Look who's talking" Department:

Former FBI Director James Comey tweeted: "The DOJ has lost its way."

Pot, allow me to introduce Kettle.

[Ben]

I understand he has paid around three million dollars in legal bills, and owes around another four million. Which brings us back to why some people might plead guilty, even if they aren't, when faced with taxpayer funded lawyers who work with an infinite budget.
