    The evidence, the notes had been hidden, the evidence had been withheld. When Powell got them that was the first of their disclosure. Even the AG was shocked at their disclosures. The IG is NOT a prosecutor. The DOJ said there was prosecutorial misconduct, even of story. That is the job of the DOJ and here is what they found.

    "Earlier this year Mr. Barr assigned a veteran prosecutor, Jeffrey Jensen, to review the original Flynn case—amid growing evidence the FBI had entrapped him and that special counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors had pressured him to plead guilty of lying to the bureau. Mr. Jensen’s findings were unequivocal. He said the FBI’s January 2017 interview of Mr. Flynn should never have happened, as it was “untethered” to a legitimate investigation. Mr. Jensen recommended the charges be dropped, which the department officially asked Judge Sullivan to do in May....

    ....In issuing that opinion, Judge Sullivan shredded precedent, constitutional principle and other legal standards. Under the separation of powers, prosecutors, not judges, decide who gets charged. It is also a longstanding legal doctrine that federal officials are entitled to the presumption of regularity; judges give deference to the executive branch’s knowledge of facts and, by extension, to its decision making. In the Flynn case, the Justice Department presented Judge Sullivan with overwhelming evidence of regular order. A veteran prosecutor had reviewed the case, and the department documented to the court the problems of the Flynn prosecution.

    Judge Sullivan positioned himself as prosecutor, judge, jury and lord high executioner. "

    The evidence was exculpatory. And they had NO REASON to be there questioning him in the first place.

    You really don't know anything about this do you. Go get up to speed before we continue. And in the meantime once again what was the crime they were there to investigate?
    As the DOJ investigation found
    " He said the FBI’s January 2017 interview of Mr. Flynn should never have happened, as it was “untethered” to a legitimate investigation. Mr. Jensen recommended the charges be dropped, which the department officially asked Judge Sullivan to do in May...."

    Refute it.

    The IG did not refute US Attorney Jensen, it's the other way around.
