Why should that matter? Just speculate based on wishcasting. That's worked so far.

Except for the fact that those 30 some - sealed indictments - are all crimes committed by the same people you seem to defend at all costs.

Cannot for the life of me understand why people defend criminals, traitors & liars - and the ONLY real reason I can see -
is that your racism - will not allow you to stop defending a white supremacist who is your last best hope of preventing this country's melting pot from melting further.

Unfortunately for all you racist white supremacists, this cannot be stopped or reversed. Deal with it.

Otherwise - I would be happy to hear your reasons for defending crime. Defending criminals. Defending fraud against the USA.

lol Black President drove old white men off the deep end.


A friend who has advised Flynn for years said Flynn felt compelled to abandon the tradition of cautious neutrality to save his country. The friend, who like many interviewed for this article agreed to speak only without being named to protect their relationships with Flynn, said the general came to view Obama as head of a worldwide crime cartel supporting jihadist ideas.

After the 2016 election, in the only meeting between Obama and then-President-elect Trump, the outgoing leader warned against the hiring of just one person: Flynn. Obama believed Flynn was dangerous — because of his performance as head of DIA, because of his incendiary statements about Islam, and because Flynn had appeared at the Moscow event staged in 2015 by RT.

Not sure why Flynn’s legal team tried to go that route that he was tricked.

12-14-2018, 03:27 PM
Finally, the interviewing agents did not observe indicia of deception and had the impression at that time that the defendant was not lying or did not think he was lying. See Strzok 302 at 4. Members of the Presidential Transition Team were likewise misled by the defendant’s false denials. Those misimpressions do not change the fact—as the defendant has admitted in sworn testimony to this District Court—that he was indeed lying, and knowingly made false statements to FBI agents in a national security investigation. Those false statements were material, including by raising the question of why he was lying to the FBI, the Vice President, and others.
they provided the strzok 302

Comey already testified to all of the above - and he even explained to them that although Flynn - did not show some of the same traits/mannerisms that criminal liars do (like Trump) - he WAS lying.

They reported this - that he did not APPEAR to be lying -he still was.

In other words - he didn't give himself away like most liars do - but it didn't change the fact that his testimony contradicted the truth and the evidence that the FBI already had.

But those GOP traitor idiots were like pit bulls going after texts, false hopes and their PARTISANSHIP could not allow them to see what was right in their face - instead they could only see that they had to find SOMETHING to help their corrupt criminal dear leader.

Mr. "I shit the bed conspiracy theorist" - with the nothing-burger! :lol:lol

Mischaracterizing the Flynn lawyers brief - in the FIRST LINE! -

You idiot - here is what really happened and it was a BRILLIANT move from the FBI;

Comey described it all in his interview with Nicole Wallace...

Comey was the Director and they had gotten info on Flynn and decided they would need to speak to Flynn.
In a normal white house Comey says, they would have probably had a set of rules , a protocol to follow and white house counsel and a long chain of command to alert - but - he says - "this was the dysfunctional trump white house" so Comey said - ah what the heck I will just send a couple of agents over.

They called Flynn and he was in a jovial mood and seemed to be really open and even offered to show the agents around! :lol:lol

Two agents meet with Flynn and - THEY ADVISED HIM - "we can just chat - or if YOU'D LIKE - we can inform white house counsel and we can have a more formal mtg" - but Flynn waves them off and says no we can just chat. :lol:lol

So they did.

Then FLYNN LIED!!!!

:lol:lol

Brilliant!

You idiot - Flynn was not under arrest - we are not questioning "miranda" rights - this was a courtesy/informal FBI interview which was voluntary and at any time Flynn could have had counsel present - but - HE DECLINED!:lol:lol

The FBI had no obligation to flash warning lights and make a big production and announce some ominous danger to Flynn by just talking and answering a few questions. Flynn - on the other hand - as the top level white house big shot - could have used common sense - and -

told the truth!

Like most of Trump team though - he LIED

The FBI did nothing wrong at all - unless you are a retarded cult conspiracy theorist who believes that the entire USA intelligence community became rotten on the day that dear leader was fraudulently elected and installed by Russia.

Brilliant move by Comey to be cool, send a couple of agents over (which the Flynn attorneys were more than happy to name - because they knew cult trumptards would jizz in their panties immediately) and obtain great intel without alerting/tipping off anyone.

Probably because Flynn was already guilty - did he just wave off the proper white house protocol because - like a criminal who is guilty - he thought he could just think on his feet and bullshit the FBI without anyone at the white house becoming alarmed.

:lol:lol

FBI two steps ahead of the criminal traitors!

The Honorable Emmet G. Sullivan. December 5, 2018 U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia

333 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington D.C. 20001

Re: Sentencing of Lt. General Michael T. Flynn (Ret.)

Dear Judge Sullivan:

I am submitting my letter directly since Mike Flynn’s attorney has refused to submit it as well as letters submitted by other individuals. I feel you need to hear from someone who was an FBI Special Agent who not only worked with Mike, but also has personally witnessed and reported unethical & sometimes illegal tactics used to coerce targets of investigations externally and internally.

About Myself and FBI Career

For 16 years, I proudly served the American people as a Special Agent working diligently on significant terrorism cases which earned noteworthy results and fostered substantial interagency cooperation. Prior to serving in the FBI I was a Juvenile Probation Officer in Camden, NJ. Currently, I am a Senior Information Security Metrics and Reporting Analyst with Discover Financial Services in the Chicago Metro area. I have recently been named as a Senior Fellow to the London Center for Policy Research.

While in the FBI, I served as a Special Agent, Supervisory Special Agent, Assistant Inspector, Unit Chief, and a Senior Liaison Officer to the CIA. I served on the NSC’s Hostage and Personnel Working Group and brought numerous Americans out of captivity and was part of the interagency team to codify policies outlining the whole of government approach to hostage cases.

In November 2007, I was selected over 26 other candidates to become the Supervisory Special Agent, CT Extraterritorial Squad; Washington Field Office (WFO) in Washington, DC. At WFO, I led a squad of experts in extraterritorial evidence collection, overseas investigations, operational security during terrorist attacks/events, and overseas criminal investigations. I coordinated and managed numerous high profile investigations (Blackwater, Chuckie Taylor, Robert Levinson, and other pivotal cases) comprised of teams from US and foreign intelligence, military, and law enforcement agencies. I was commended for displaying comprehensive leadership performance under pressure, extensive teamwork skills, while conducting critical investigative analysis within and outside the FBI.

In December 2009, I was promoted to GS-15 Unit Chief (UC) of the Executive Strategy Unit, Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate (WMDD). While the UC, I codified the WMDD five-year strategic plan, formulated goals and objectives throughout the division, while translating the material into a directorate scorecard with cascading measurements reflecting functional and operational unit areas. This was the only time in Washington, DC when I did not work with of for McCabe.

From September to December 2010, I was selected as the FBI’s top candidate to represent the FBI, and the USG in a rigorous, intellectually stimulating; 12 week course for civilian government officials, military officers, and government academics at the George C. Marshall Center in Garmisch, Germany, Executive Program in Advanced Security Studies. The class was comprised of 141 participants from 43 countries.

I have received numerous recommendations and commendations for my professionalism, liaison and interpersonal ability and experience. Additionally, I have been rated Excellent or Outstanding for my entire career, to include by Andrew McCabe when I was stationed at the Washington Field Office. Further, other awards of note are: West Chester University 2005 Legacy of Leadership recipient, Honored with House of Representatives Citation for Exemplary record of Service, Leadership, and Achievements: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Awarded with a framed Horn of Africa blood chit from the Department of Defense and Office of the DASD (POW/MPA/MIA) for my work in bringing Americans Out of captivity, “Patriot, Law Enforcement Warrior, and Friend.”

Length of Association with Flynn, McCabe, and Mueller

I met Michael Flynn in 2005, while working in the Counterterrorism Division (CTD) at FBI Headquarters (FBIHQ).

I met then Supervisory Special Agent Andrew McCabe, when he reported to CTD at FBIHQ, around the same time. McCabe subsequently was the Assistant Section Chief over my unit, my Assistant Special Agent in Charge at the Washington Field Office, and the Assistant Director (AD) over CTD when I encountered the discrimination and McCabe spearheaded the retaliation personally (according to documentation) against me.

I have known both men for 12-13 years and worked directly with both throughout my career. They are on the opposite spectrum of each other with regard to truthfulness, temperament, and ethics, both professionally and personally.

I regularly briefed former FBI Director and Special Prosecutor Mueller on controversial and complex cases and attended Deputies meetings at the White house with then Deputy Director Pistole. I got along with both and trusted both. Watching what has been done to Mike and knowing someone on the 7th floor had to have notified Mueller of my situation (Pistole had retired), has been significantly distressing to me.

Lt.G. Michael T. Flynn:

Mike and I were counterparts on a DOJ-termed ground-breaking initiative which served as a model for future investigations, policies, legislation and FBI programs in the Terrorist Use of the Internet. For this multi-faceted and leading-edge joint operation, I was commended by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, Gen. Keith Alexander (NSA Director), and LtG. Michael Flynn as well as others for leading the FBI’s pivotal participation in this dynamic and innovative interagency operation. I received two The National Intelligence Meritorious Unit Citation (NIMUC) I for my role in this operation. The NIMUC is an award of the National Intelligence Awards Program, for contributions to the United States Intelligence Community.
Mick Flynn has consistently and candidly been honest and straightforward with me since the day I met him in 2005. He has been a mentor and someone I trust to give me frank advice when I ask for his opinion. His caring nature has shown through especially when he saw me being torn apart by the FBI and he felt compelled to write a letter in support of me. He further took the extra step to comment on my character in an NPR article and interview exposing the wrongdoings in my case and others who have stood up for truth and against discrimination/retaliation. Senator Grassley also commented on my behalf. NPR characterized this action against me as a “warning shot” to individuals who stood up to individuals such as McCabe.

The day after I resigned from the FBI, while I was crying, Mike reached out and congratulated me on my early retirement. I really needed to hear that from someone I respected so much. His support for the last 13 years has been unparalleled and extremely valuable in helping me get through the trauma of betrayal, unethical behavior, illegal activity executed against me and to rebuild my life. Additionally, his support has helped my family in dealing with their painful emotions regarding my situation. My parents wanted me to pass on to you that they are blessed that I have had a compassionate and supportive individual on my side throughout this trying time.

Mike has been a respected leader by his peers and by FBI Agents and Analysts who have interacted with him. I personally feel he is the finest leader I have ever worked with or for in my career. Our continued friendship and subsequent friendship with his family has helped all of us cope with the stress a situation like this puts on individuals and families.

It is so very painful to watch an American hero, and my friend, torn apart like this. His family has had to endure what no family should have to. I know this because of the damaging effect my case had on my parent’s health, finances, and emotional well-being. Mike and I both had to sell our houses due to legal fees, endured smear campaigns (mostly by the same individual, McCabe). I ended up being deemed homeless by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was on public assistance and endured extensive health and emotional damage due to the retaliation. Mike kept in touch and kept me motivated. He has always reached out to help me with whatever he could.

The Process is the Punishment

Thomas Fitton of Judicial Watch commented to me that the “Process is the punishment.” This is the most accurate description I have heard regarding the time Mike has gone through with this process and the year and a half I was ostracized and idled before I resigned. This process is one which many FBI employees, current, retired and former, feel was brought to the FBI by Mueller and he subsequently brought this to the Special Prosecutor investigation. It also fostered the behavior among FBI “leadership” which we find ourselves shocked at when revealed on a daily basis. Is this the proper way to seek justice? I say no. I swore to uphold the Constitution while protecting the civil rights of the American people. I believe many individuals involved in Mike’s case have lost their way and could care less about protection of due process, civil and legal rights of who they are targeting. Mike has had extensive punishment throughout this process. This process has punished him harder than anyone else could.
Andrew McCabe

I believe I have a unique inside view of the mannerisms surrounding Andrew McCabe, other FBI Executive Management and Former Director Mueller, as well as the unethical and coercive tactics they use, not to seek the truth, but to coerce pleas or admissions to end the pain, as I call it. They destroy lives for their own agendas instead of seeking the truth for the American people. Candor is something that should be encouraged and used by leadership to have necessary and continued improvement. Under Mueller, it was seen as a threat and viciously opposed by those he pulled up in the chain of command.

I am explaining this because numerous Agents have expressed the need for you to know McCabe’s and Mueller’s pattern of “target and destroy” has been utilized on many others, without regard for policies and laws. I, myself, am a casualty of this reprehensible behavior and I have spoken to well over 150 other FBI individuals who are casualties as well.

I am the individual who filed the Hatch Act complaint against McCabe and provided significant evidentiary documents obtained via FOIA, open source, and information from current, former, and retired Special Agents. The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) asked why my filing of the complaint was delayed from the actual acts. I said I personally thought I was providing additional information to what should have been an automatic referral to OSC by FBI OPR. I was notified I was the only complainant. This illustrates not only a fatal flaw in OPR AD Candice Will not making the appropriate and crucial referral, but also shows the fear of those within the FBI to report individuals like McCabe for fear of retaliation.

While serving at the CIA, detailed by the FBI in January 2012, I was responsible for overseas investigations, as opposed to Continental United States-based (CONUS) cases. Unfortunately, during my assignment at the CIA, I encountered extensive discrimination by two FBI Special Agents and subsequently, in 2012, I filed an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaint. Instead of addressing the issues, then CTD Assistant Director Andrew McCabe chose to authorize a retaliatory Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) investigation against me, five days after my EEO contact. The OPR referral he signed was authored by the two individuals I had filed the EEO complaint against. In his signed sworn statement, McCabe admitted he knew I had filed or was going to file the EEO.

Numerous members of my department at the CIA requested to be spoken with by CTD executive management, regarding my work ethic and accomplishments. However, CTD, Inspection Division, and OPR disregarded the list of names and contact numbers I submitted. This is an example of knowing you are being targeted and the truth is not being sought.

Although my time at this position was short, I was commended by my CIA direct supervisor for: “having already contributed more than your predecessor in the short time you have been here.” My predecessor had been assigned to the post for 18 months; I had been there four months.

In contrast and showing lack of candor, McCabe wrote on official documents the following statement, contradicting the actual direct supervisor I worked with daily:

“SA Gritz had to be removed from a prior position in an interagency environment, due to inappropriate communications and general performance issues”

This is one of many comments McCabe used to discredit my reputation and to ostracize me. McCabe knew me as someone who told the truth, worked hard, got results, and was always willing to be flexible when needed. He was also acutely aware of the excellent relationships I had formed in the USG interagency due to comments made by individuals from numerous agencies. Yet, he continued to make false statements on official documents. He has done this to numerous other very valuable FBI employees, destroying their careers and lives. He used similar tactics of lies against Flynn. It should be noted, McCabe was very aware of my professional association with Mike Flynn.

In July 5, 2012, I was involuntarily pulled back to CTD from the CIA. I was told McCabe made the decision. A year and a month later, I resigned from the job I absolutely loved and was good at. All because of the lack of candor of numerous individuals within the FBI.

Unethical and dishonest investigative tactics

Throughout the last year, I have kept abreast of the revelations surrounding anything related to Mike’s case. I believe, from my years at the FBI and in exposing corruption and discrimination, the circumstances surrounding the targeting, investigation, leaking, and coercion of him to plea are all consistent with the unethical process I and many others have witnessed at the FBI. The charge which Mike Flynn plead to was the result of deception, intimidation, and bias/agenda. Simply, Mike is being branded a convicted felon due to an unethical and dishonest investigation by people who were malicious, vindictive, and corrupt. They wished to silence Mike, like they had once silenced me.

The American people have read the Strzok/Page text messages, the conflicting testimony and lack of candor statements of former Director Comey, the perceived overstepping of the reasonable scope of the Special Prosecutor’s investigation, the extensive unethical, untruthful, and outright illegal behavior of Andrew McCabe, to include slanderous statements against Flynn, and the facts found within FOIA released documents and Congressional testimony. As a former/retired Agent, I have combed through every piece of information regarding Mike’s case, as if I was combing through evidence in the hundreds of cases I have successfully handled while in the FBI.

The publicly reported Brady material alone, in this case, outweighs any statement given by any FBI Agent (we now know at least one FD-302 was changed), Special Prosecutor investigator report, and any other party still aggressively seeking that this case remain and be sentenced as a felony. Quite simply, I cannot see justice being served by branding LtG. Michael Flynn a convicted felon, when the truth is still being revealed while policies, ethics, and laws have been violated by those pursuing this case.

We now know all FBI employees involved in Mike Flynn’s case have either been fired, forced to resign or forced to retire because of their excessive lack of candor, punitive biases, leaking of information, and extensive cover-up of their deeds.

Summation

Michael Flynn has always displayed overwhelming candor and forthrightness. One of the main individuals involved in his case is Andrew McCabe, who used similar tactics against me in my case, of which Mike Flynn defended me by penning a letter of character reference and is a witness. Seeing McCabe was named as a Responding Management Official in my case, he should have recused himself with anything having to do with a character witness on my behalf against him and DOJ.

I’m told by numerous people, but have been unable to confirm, that McCabe was asked why he was so viciously going after Flynn; my name was mentioned. I do know, from experience with McCabe, he is a vindictive individual and I have no doubt Mike’s support of me fueled McCabe’s disdain and personally vindictive aggressive unethical activities in this case. It matches his behavior in my case.

Reliable fact-finding is essential to procedural due process and to the accuracy and uniformity of sentencing. I’m unsure if the fact-finding in this case is reliable, nor do I think we currently have all the facts.

The punishment which LtG. Flynn has already endured this past year, due to the nature of the case, legal fees and reputation damage, is punishment enough. He is a true patriot, a loving husband and father, a devoted grandfather, a trusted friend, and has a close knit family made up of compassionate and honest individuals. To be branded a felon, is a major hit to a hero who protected the American people for 33 years. I do not think society would benefit from Mike Flynn going to jail nor being branded as a convicted felon. Not knowing the sentencing guidelines for this charge but if there is any chance that the case can be downgraded to a misdemeanor, this would be an act of justice that numerous Americans need to see to stay hopeful for further justice.

Respectfully yours,

Anyone who sees a guy who;

never tells the truth
when caught lying - he tries to cover up his lie with another lie
does not respect the law
does not think the law applies to him
is not accountable to anything - not to laws, to truth,to morality,to ethics, morals, nothing



Study the public evidence, pay attention to his actions, watch him lie, watch him deny when caught, watch him blame anyone for his dirty deeds, attack an entire system of justice and entire democracy and try to convince his idiot supporters that only he - is the innocent one.
Only he is above all of these liars - only he is the victim of everything wrong - not his lies or crimes - but EVERYONE else is corrupt.

Well - if you STILL believe he has not committed crimes I cannot help you. No one can. Please do everyone a favor and drink the kool-aid when he orders you to!

Winehole23
12-15-2018, 10:24 AM
You should reread the Ken White tweet thread, because I'm not going to say it as well.

What's unfair is the watered down definition of materiality for the government that lets LE lie about the materiality of the defendant's lies, then writes a warrant that otherwise might not be sustained because the law has a beefed up definition of materiality for the defendant, whose lies are punished if they "could have" affected the investigation, when in fact they didn't. The government was intentionally "trolling for a crime that otherwise wouldn't exist".

However legal that may be it's unethical and abusive, Ken White argues.

In this case, the lies are what Flynn pleaded down to. Presumably he wouldn't have done so had not he and his son been facing more serious charges, which raises another commonplace abuse -- coercive plea deals, wherein defendants plead out to lesser charges they may not be guilty of, or which themselves are the fruit of abusive prosecution, to avoid more serious punishment.

What Ken White is saying is that there are principled arguments that *some* of what has happened to Mike Flynn is wrong, owing to the tendency of power to create justification for its own abuses. All I was saying is I think he has a valid point, not that Flynn did *nothing* wrong or deserves to get off.

Being an agent of the Turkish government and a cabinet level NATSEC advisor at once is perfectly serious business. It was also stupid of Flynn to lie to the FBI. Period, full stop.

That has more to do with just plain dealmaking and jail overpopulation.

If the statute says a crime is punishable from 5-10 years a lawyers job is to tell his client (the accused) that if he pleads he will get him 3 years and with good behavior he will be out in 12-15 months. On the rare case where a defendant is actually innocent - they will choose trial to exonerate themselves - but most are guilty and they know it - so they might bitch about the law and the pigs and the system - but they jump on that plea deal 99% of the time.


A LIFE sentence now only means 15-16 years imprisonment with all the good behavior/jail overpopulation issues in most cases except those rare serial murders or capital cases where an entire community is outraged at the murderer.

This Supreme Court Case Could Impact The Mueller Probe And Boost Trump's Pardon Power

The double-jeopardy clause of the Constitution says a person can't be prosecuted twice for the same crime.

But, in fact, for 170 years, the Supreme Court has said that separate sovereigns — state and federal governments — can do just that, because each sovereign government has separate laws and interests.

the argument produced an interesting debate among the justices about when it is appropriate to reverse a long line of decisions.

The dual sovereigns rule at issue in Thursday's case raised a red flag over the Mueller investigation, because

if such double prosecutions were barred, some of those already convicted in the Mueller probe could not be tried for the same crimes in state court if Trump were to pardon them, something that he has openly flirted with doing.

Thursday's arguments, however, strongly suggested

the court is unprepared to toss out the separate sovereigns rule.

At least five of the nine justices, from liberal to conservative, expressed clear doubts about overruling nearly two centuries of precedent.

Double prosecutions most often come in high-profile cases, frequently civil rights cases, when there is a sense that justice has not been done.

A get-out-of-jail-free card for Trump associates?

The case has attracted extra attention because of

Trump's comments that he could possibly pardon (https://nypost.com/2018/11/28/trump-says-pardon-for-paul-manafort-still-a-possibility/)his onetime campaign chairman Paul Manafort and other Trump associates

who have been — or could be — convicted in prosecutions brought by Mueller.

If the Supreme Court were to bar dual prosecutions,

"there is a concern that a president of the United States could pardon an individual for all federal offenses" and

it would effectively be a "pardon for everything,"

These concerns, he noted, extend from the president down to governors or local prosecutors.

They could "bestow great gifts upon friends or family by rushing to prosecute them for certain crimes," Saltzburg pointed out, by obtaining minimal punishments.

That would be "cutting off" the ability of the federal government to bring prosecutions, for the same conduct, particularly in corruption cases.

some in liberal circles have speculated that one reason the Trump administration was in such a hurry to get Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court was his demonstrated affinity for presidential power.

However,

the Trump administration is urging the Supreme Court to preserve the status quo by upholding the separate sovereigns doctrine,

as are 36 states, including states that lean "red" and "blue" politically.

I think both you and he have a point. Obviously, if the law were so favorable to criminal defendants, you’d imagine there would be more who rolled the die. But the presumption of innocence and evidentiary burden are unique to criminal trials. You can’t discount that either.

I am just going on common sense - and the fact (IMO) that most defendants are guilty.

If you are completely innocent and the charges are completely made up you most definitely want to go to trial to clear your name. If you did zero wrong and some attorney is trying to convince you that 3-5 years of prison time is a great deal - you will most likely tell him/her to go fuck himself/herself.

If you know - as most defendants do - that you robbed the bank/raped the girl and some attorney is telling you that instead of going to trial and possibly doing 20-25 years if found guilty - or take the guilty plea now, avoid trial and just do 3-5 years with only 12-15 months of "real" jail time - you know you are taking the 12-15 months because you know deep inside you are guilty.

This is what I am referring to.

If you are completely innocent and the charges are completely made up you most definitely want to go to trial to clear your name. If you did zero wrong and some attorney is trying to convince you that 3-5 years of prison time is a great deal - you will most likely tell him/her to go fuck himself/herself.

If you know - as most defendants do - that you robbed the bank/raped the girl and some attorney is telling you that instead of going to trial and possibly doing 20-25 years if found guilty - or take the guilty plea now, avoid trial and just do 3-5 years with only 12-15 months of "real" jail time - you know you are taking the 12-15 months because you know deep inside you are guilty.

This is incorrect to the extent you believe the innocent always go to trial and always are exonerated. Given the risks, and the costs of hiring counsel, innocent people cop pleas all the time. It’s not as black and white as you suggest.

Never said never - but I believe that a huge percentage of incarcerated people did what they have been accused of.

I don't believe - like some here do - that there are tons of people wrongfully accused by the system. Are there people wrongfully accused by other people? (angry girlfriends) - yes absolutely. Is there tons of defendants that are wrongfully accused by a corrupt DOJ? I doubt that.

I never did say that the innocent ALWAYS go to trial - but yes - if their cases go that far and their charges are bogus? I'd say they have to choose trial over accepting years of prison for something they didn't do IMO.

24/7 shitposter knowledge vs Former federal prosecutor under nine US attorneys from both political parties over ten years and three districts, Sidney Powell was lead counsel in 350 criminal appeals for the United States and more than 150 since in private practice.
Experts, though, say there is almost nothing unusual, illegal or even unethical about how Flynn was treated. There is no requirement that investigators inform subjects who aren’t in custody that they need a lawyer or that lying is illegal. And former federal prosecutor Patrick Cotter said it was the treatment van der Zwaan and Papadopoulos got that was unorthodox — not Flynn’s.

“In the vast majority of such noncustodial interviews of which I am aware — and there are probably hundreds I’ve encountered in my career — there is no explicit warning at all,” Cotter said. “So Flynn not getting a special warning is not in any sense out of the ordinary.”

David Moran, a criminal procedure expert at the University of Michigan who runs the Michigan Innocence Clinic, also said Flynn’s treatment is completely par for course. The famous Supreme Court case, Miranda v. Arizona, requires law enforcement to inform those in custody of their rights, but not people such as Flynn who weren’t in custody.

“The tactic of telling a subject not in custody that he or she doesn’t need an attorney present during an interview may be standard, but whether it is savory is a matter of opinion,” Moran said. “Still, it strikes me as odd for a tactic that is used every day with suspected criminals of every description to come under fire only when used against a highly sophisticated, extremely well-connected defendant.”

And that might be the key point here. Van der Zwaan isn’t a U.S. citizen, and Papadopoulos was something of a gadfly foreign policy adviser, so informing them of their rights perhaps made some sense. But Flynn is a three-star general of significant stature, with three advanced degrees. To believe he was lulled into a false sense of security is to believe someone like him wouldn’t know that lying to investigators can get you into trouble and that you might want to have an attorney.

Flynn’s own sentencing memo makes clear he considered and rejected the idea of getting a lawyer.

Ok - somewhere - we are not communicating - I will simplify it for you;

1) Cohen was busted for saying (lying) that the Trump Moscow tower talks only went on until January 2016.
2) The lie that he told - contradicted evidence - and Cohen changed his answer and stated that the talks went on until June 2016.

3) Rudy just said that Trumps testimony - states - that the Trump Moscow tower talks went on until NOVEMBER 2016 - right up to election time.
4) Why are Trump and Cohens testimonies different?

5) The candidate was lying to the American people and saying no deals in Russia, no deals that might happen, no deals that will ever happen, etc..
6) The Russians knew Trump was lying about this - and could use this info to blackmail/threaten Trump

If Mueller has evidence on Cohens testimony (through all the tapes/electronic devices/paperwork) that they recovered in Cohens office/residence
and it is different than Trumps answers then Trump perjured himself.

I am sure Mueller already knows about Trumps perjury - but Mueller doesn't leak - so this Julie-Yanni blunder is the first we have heard that the talks went on all the way until the election (I am more than sure that the talks actually are still ongoing - as evidence by Helsinki and Argentina where Trump basically fellated Putin - in secret - and in front of the world)


Rudy's interview might not be new evidence to Mueller - but it is new public evidence that the Moscow tower talks went farther than had previously been revealed.

Only in this criminal administration does the president lie everyday - his attorney comes out on tv and calls Cohen a liar - the ABC news guy says, "trump lies also" and Julie-Yanni does NOT disagree - instead he says "he wasn't under oath"

:lol:lol

The lying says some things about this;

1) If you lied all this time and are lying now -("no collusion, no russian contacts") - this says you committed the crime (conspiracy to defraud) -
because you have to lie about it - if there was nothing wrong with conspiracy - he could have said "sure we colluded - its not illegal" :lol
2) The Russians had attacked the elections by this time - the FBI - had warned both campaigns about Russians trying to approach them and compromise them and asked them both to report ANY contacts immediately. Trump and his conspirators had many many contacts and not only did not report them - they hid them and then lied about them - all while Trump was lying to the american people about dealing with the enemy that was attacking the usa - at the same time he was conspiring with them
3) The lying - whether in public - or in sworn testimony - is more proof/evidence of another crime: Obstructing Justice - because you are giving multiple conflicting answers to the public and this is another form of obstructing the investigation

The report, a draft of which was obtained by The Washington Post, is the first to analyze the millions of posts provided by major technology firms to the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The report, a draft of which was obtained by The Washington Post, is the first to analyze the millions of posts provided by major technology firms to the Senate Intelligence Committee.

the operation used every major social media platform to deliver words, images and videos tailored to voters’ interests to help elect President Trump — and worked even harder to support him while in office.

His coverage was negative from the start [of the general election] and never came close to entering positive territory,” writes Thomas E. Patterson, the Bradlee professor of government and the press at Harvard. “During his best weeks, the coverage ran 2-to-1 negative over positive. In his worst weeks, the ratio was more than 10-to-1. If there was a silver lining for Trump, it was that his two best weeks were the ones just preceding the November balloting.”

How Terrible a Lawyer is Rudy?

the Trump Tower Moscow deal that apparently remained live through the 2016 election.


The last time Giuliani admitted a fact that was not publicly known, it was to get ahead of the Stormy Daniels story before it was disclosed in a likely indictment of Cohen.

It seems safe to assume that

he is revealing the fact that Trump was negotiating the Trump Tower Moscow deal/bribe in the closing days of the election for the same reason.

Cohen’s office was raided on April 9th and not coincidentally, Giuliani announced as Trump’s new lawyer on April 19th.

Looks to me like Giuliani is trying to construct a firewall here.

Admitting the fact that the negotiations were taking place right up to the election so that he can deny the evidence that they continued after Trump won.

Also significant is the obvious lie that the Moscow Tower deal was known about.

Like the Trump Tower meeting it was vociferously denied both before the election and after the inaugural.


It seems clear that in private discussions

Trump’s team has a running conversation about a very damaging set of facts,

an effort to conceal a lot of those facts but also a parallel effort to stand up legal theories that those facts don’t equate to crimes.

In Giuliani’s partial defense, the facts appear to be really, really, really bad and

the relentlessness of the Mueller probe is making it extremely difficult to keep them secret.

So standing up defenses on the law is both necessary and inevitable, as far-fetched as they may be.

Flynn lied about Turkey.

He admitted it.


On March 7, 2017, FLYNN filed multiple documents with the Department of Justice pursuant to the Foreign Agents Registration Act ("FARA") pertaining to a project performed by him and his company, the Flynn Intel Group, Inc. ("FIG"), for the principal benefit of the Republic of Turkey ("Turkey project"). In the FARA filings, FLYNN made materially false statements and omissions, including by falsely stating that (a) FIG did not know whether or the extent to which the Republic of Turkey was involved in the Turkey project, (b) the Turkey project was focused on improving U.S. business organizations' confidence regarding doing business in Turkey, and (c) an op-ed by FLYNN published in The Hill on November 8, 2016, was written at his own initiative; and by omitting that officials from the Republic of Turkey provided supervision and direction over the Turkey project.
