    When he registered as a foreign agent he knows he supposed to disclose when hired by the US government.
    The guy is a lying swamp thing.
    He forgot. We all mess up, sometimes.

    I'm not even sure the other side knows the former for the most part.
    I'll put a finer point in it. I don't think Flynn lied to Mike Pence. That's just another convenient lie.

    Bears repeating, if there was corrupt/criminal behavior in the DOJ/FBI back then, it should be investigated and punished. That doesn't excuse Flynn lying to federal agents any less, but one thing doesn't exclude the other.

    On that vein, hopefully we have an investigation into this DOJ come next February.

    Jared Kushner's belated refreshed memory updates of his required financial disclosure forms and the very same from Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross come to mind for some reason.

    TSA still can't explain why Flynn's lying to the feds, Pence, er and Priebus is a good thing.
    General Flynn was protecting his family.

    Former Justice Department Official Says

    Barr ‘Twisted’ Her Words


    Barr misused her statements to justify the department’s decision to drop the criminal case against Michael Flynn.

    that the motion to dismiss the charges relied heavily on her account of events leading to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s interview of Flynn

    Neither that account nor the cir stances surrounding the interview supports a dismissal of the case, McCord wrote in the 1,300-word op-ed.

    She said Barr came up with his own justification to drop the case after Flynn had twice pleaded guilty.

    “The department concocts its materiality theory by arguing that

    the FBI should not have been investigating Mr. Flynn at the time they interviewed him,” McCord wrote, adding that

    “the account of my interview in 2017 doesn’t help the department support this conclusion, and

    it is disingenuous A LIE! for the department to twist my words to suggest that it does.”

    Trump has completely ruined the DOJ's credibility going forward.

    Him and McConnell have shown the flaws in lifetime appointments and the incapability of an AG appointed to remain 'unbiased'
    Exposing the flaws of 'checks and balances', 'precedent', all the BS words that law is based on that people are finally realizing are all bull ideas never grounded in reality waiting to be corrupted by an idiot with the right horses.

    Chris thinks that if Flynn didn’t plead guilty, it was a foregone conclusion that given the opportunity, his son would knowingly and willfully lie to investigators and thereby get himself into trouble, and so Flynn took the bullet to not allow that to happen

    Judges don't just generally agree on hearsay, especially if there's an actual motion from the defendants. But even if we were to pretend that's the case, the other problem with this take is that Barr knew and didn't tell the judge, nor remove Van Grack.

    Plus the motion specifically mentioned the first interview, IIRC, when there was an actual investigation ongoing.
    The EC had already been filed to close the investigation before the interview happened. There was no legitimate investigation going on at the time of the interview, for it to have been legitimate the FBI would have needed to file a new EC saying they were pursuing a Logan Act violation. DOJ laid this out clearly in the dismissal.

    He plead guilty to an immaterial “lie” during an FBI interview for an investigation that was not properly predicated.
    Do you think that if Sullivan had let Flynn withdraw his appeal the DOJ would have been able to prove their case in court?
