    Pence and Trump were just going with what the FBI told them that Flynn lied so thats evidence provide by the corrupt

    Pence says he’s now ‘inclined’ to believe Flynn didn’t intentionally mislead him about Russian ambassador

    You're right the illegal stuff happened when he talked to the FBI.


    Q: Does the new evidence show that the counterintelligence case against General Flynn was simply left open to lay a trap for lying?
    BARR: Yes. Essentially.

    ? Q: After the election? Okay. You talk about the importance of timing in this decision. What was the evidence that helped you decide this issue?

    BARR: I think a very important evidence here was that this was not a bona fide counterintelligence investigation – was that they were closing the investigation in December. They started that process. And on January 4th, they were closing it.
    And that when they heard about the phone call, which is – the FBI had the transcripts too – there’s no question as to what was discussed. The FBI knew exactly what was discussed. And General Flynn, being the former director of the DIA, said to them, you know, “You listen, you listen to everything. You know, you know what was said.”

    So there was no mystery about the call. But they initially tried some theories of how they could open another investigation, which didn’t fly. And then they found out that they had not technically closed the earlier investigation. And they kept it open for the express purpose of trying to catch, lay a perjury trap for General Flynn.

    They didn’t warn him, the way we usually would be required by the Department. They bypassed the Justice Department. They bypassed the protocols at the White House and so forth. These were things that persuaded me that there was not a legitimate counterintelligence investigation going on.

    Maybe that's why we have a group called the "The Innocence Project" to get innocent people out of jail.

    Dude .. you need to post something from your link in the OP... especially a Gem like this one...

    Holy Kangaroo dung - Ya think ? The client is being charged with saying X .. and the Prosecution will not release the transcripts of what was actually said... and this goes on for 3 years.. basically a massive stall tactic as things obviously can not proceed without - and this has been submitted as evidence.

    Nice tactic - prosecution claims "we have this evidence against you" - you can cop a plea - and this goes away - or continue - but you can't see the evidence prior to making your decision with respect to the plea agreement.

    Given they are one of the largest and well-known Lawyers in the USA, they have probably worked for all sorts.

    Yeah, I called Grassley's response 3 weeks ago..... nothing to see here.... another "perfect" call...

    Bullshit.... It would have been a perfect call in 3 short weeks, but not in Dec 2016...

    Sorry Charlie...

    My point is that private citizen Flynn was not in office yet, which is why both the FBI and Trump WH Counsel (eventually) determined that phone call was a possible violation of the Logan Act...

    That transcript is perfectly fine after the inauguration.... but not before.

    If Flynn had asked the President of Uganda not to do something, it would have been ignored... Combine that transcript with Flynn's Crossfire Hurricane involvement, and you have a counter-intelligence red flag and a suspect needing an interview...

    Ah, the thread title is completely misleading.

    The “they” Flynn references In the full transcript is the United States. And they’re most certainly and clearly discussing possible sanctions on Russia and how Russia should reaction to them.

    Especially damning, “you know what they have”. WTF, Flynn.

    You’ve relied on some terrible reporting. “Reporting” that also shifts the goal post.

    What we’re seeing here is an effort to get out in front of the release of bad information and attempt to set the narrative.

    What do you mean "Crossfire Hurricane" involvement ? That was the name of the investigation - one that turned our to be illegitimate.

    Sorry, I'll help you out at times, but not knowing Flynn was one of the early targets of CH is grounds for my boredom...

    I did not say otherwise. Sorry you have to make false accusations because you have no coherent argument.

    This is almost completely false. Gen. Flynn was part of the transition team and so the phone call and the content were perfectly legal and allowable, as stated by the DOJ.

    No, the WH Council does not deem it a possible violation of the Logan Act. The FBI intentionally misled, Flynn and the new Administration.

    The transcript, according to the DOJ was well within the rights of someone involved in the transition of power, as being normal.

    That is why the DOJ is dropping the case and Flynn will most likely be filing a lawsuit and recouping lost monies.

    Question should be why isn't Michael Flynn being charged with treason, colluding with the ambassador of a foreign adversary Russia???

    FBI lied. Here is what they said and here are the interviewer notes. Unreal. Can't wait to see these FBI scumbags thrown in prison.

    #FLYNN All of these records document 12/29/2016 call between incoming National Security Adviser and Russian Amb Kislyak. Note variation language: Statement of Offense 12/2017, FBI interview summary 2/2017, agents handwritten notes Flynn intv 1/24/2017 and call transcript

    There's no such thing as a criminal charge of "collusion" in federal law.
    Flynn did exactly as instructed by K T McFarland.
    Replace Flynn with john "Lurch" kerry & Russia with Iran, and you'd have a Logan Act violation case to hang your hat on. :)
