Flynn's Lawyers Expose KGB-style Behavior At the DOJ and FBI [merged threads]

[TBoneTX 45,572]

Not sure whom one could sue.  Are these now-former governmental officials now personally liable?  Unsure about suing the government.

Previously undisclosed documents in the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn offer us a chilling blueprint on how top FBI officials not only sought to entrap the former White House aide but sought to do so on such blatantly unconstitutional and manufactured grounds.

These new documents further undermine the view of both the legitimacy and motivations of those investigations under former FBI director James Comey. For all of those who have long seen a concerted effort within the Justice Department to target the Trump administration, the fragments will read like a Dead Sea Scrolls version of a “deep state” conspiracy.

One note reflects discussions within the FBI shortly after the 2016 election on how to entrap Flynn in an interview concerning his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. According to Fox News, the note was written by the former FBI head of counterintelligence, Bill Priestap, after a meeting with Comey and his deputy director, Andrew McCabe.

I am not much on conspiracy theories.  

 

My favorite is the multiple posts on see on FB explaining how Bill Gates is secretly trying to rule the world, becuase he has donated 100s of millions of his own money to 5 different companies to help find a vaccine. 

 

Another favorite is people posting a vial of corona vaccine for Canine corona , which is a intestinal disease in dogs. Usually followed by a post explaining Covid 19 has been around for years and there is a cure.

 

So much misinformation on FB

Clearly, you're not aware of the actual fun version of that.

 

They've taken a Microsoft patent, of which they've massaged the number into 666, about a Fitbit clone, and the Gates Foundation's  work on vaccinations and combined them into a wonderful ball in which Bill Gates is trying to inject people with the mark of the beast and bring on the End of Days or whatever.

I swear some of the posts are almost that absurd

So obvious entrapment by federal bureaucrats is not an issue for you?  I know things are different in the EU, but here, we don’t like when the political elite think they are above the law.

"Oh, they made him lie under oath, it's not his fault that he willingly lied under oath."

Is that really your argument here? How old was he? Five?

And Trump being above the law is totally fine, as long as you can make semi-coherent excuses for what he did? What Flynn did was fine too, it's okay to think you're above the law as long as you can come up with a ridiculous story and get pardoned later?

Umm, he was no under oath.  Maybe you should do some more research.  Not really sure how President Trump is relevant here, if you have evidence he has broken a law, please provide it.

Andrew McCarthy: FBI set up Michael Flynn to pursue Trump-Russia investigation
 

To understand what happened here, you have to understand what the FBI’s objective was, first formed in collaboration with Obama-administration officials. That includes President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Flynn’s predecessor, National Security Adviser Susan Rice, with whom then-Acting Attorney General Sally Yates and then-FBI director James Comey met at the White House on January 5, 2017 – smack in the middle of the chain-of-events that led to Flynn’s ouster.

Oh, but Bill, that article is from The Federalist, so it needs to be dismissed immediately without any consideration of its value, content, or thoughtful analysis.

Yep, all conspiracy theories.  I wonder if Sidney Powell will ever see the original 302s.

 

Now We Know Why Prosecutors Hid the 302s

The documents released on Thursday also revealed a further Brady violation: the prosecution’s failure to turn over the original version of the 302 interview summary. Powell has long asked for the original 302, and now we know why: They were substantially revised by Strzok and Page.

 

“This document pisses me off,” Page texted Strzok, in reference to the 302 form Strzok had revised and emailed Page. “You didn’t even attempt to make this cogent and readable,” Page fumed. Strzok countered, “Lisa you didn’t see it before my edits that went into what I sent you.” He then explained that he was “trying to not completely re-write the thing so as to save [Pientka’s] voice,” and yet get it to her quickly for a general review. Strzok added that he had already incorporated Page’s earlier edits.
