Participant::Judge in Flynn case orders Mueller to turn over interview docs after bombshell claim of FBI pressure…
One day after former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s legal team made the bombshell allegation that the FBI had pushed him not to bring a lawyer to his fateful Jan. 24, 2017 interview with agents at the White House, the federal judge overseeing Flynn’s criminal case is demanding answers from Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ordered Mueller late Wednesday to turn over all of the government’s documents and “memoranda” related to Flynn’s questioning. The extraordinary demand puts Mueller under the microscope, and sets a 3:00 p.m. EST Friday deadline for the special counsel’s office to produce the sensitive FBI documents.
Sullivan — who overturned the 2008 conviction of former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens after government misconduct came to light — is weighing how to sentence Flynn, who pleaded guilty to one count of lying to federal authorities during the 2017 interview in the West Wing. Flynn faced mounting legal bills that forced him to sell his home amid the prosecution, and Mueller has already recommended he receive no prison time.

Of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s many targets, the most tragic may be former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. The former three-star general pleaded guilty last year to a single count of lying to the FBI about conversations he had with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. Now we learn from Mr. Flynn’s court filing to the sentencing judge that senior bureau officials acted in a way to set him up for the fall.
Not a rich man after decades in uniform, Mr. Flynn pleaded guilty to avoid bankruptcy and spare his son from becoming a legal target. Mr. Flynn’s filing doesn’t take issue with the description of his offense. But the “additional facts” the Flynn defense team flags for the court raise doubts about FBI conduct.
The Flynn filing describes government documents concerning the Jan. 24, 2017 meeting with two FBI agents when Mr. Flynn supposedly lied. It turns out the meeting was set up by then Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who personally called Mr. Flynn that day on other business—to discuss an FBI training session. By Mr. McCabe’s account, on that call he told Mr. Flynn he “felt that we needed to have two of our agents sit down” with him to talk about his Russia communications.
Mr. McCabe then urged Mr. Flynn to meet without a lawyer present. “I explained that I thought the quickest way to get this done was to have a conversation between [Mr. Flynn] and the agents only. I further stated that if LTG Flynn wished to include anyone else in the meeting, like the White House Counsel for instance, that I would need to involve the Department of Justice. [Mr. Flynn] stated that this would not be necessary and agreed to meet with the agents without any additional participants,” wrote Mr. McCabe in a memo viewed by the Flynn defense team.

Saying a distinguished general is a traitor by someone like yourself that never had to guts to put on a military uniform is shameful…
December 13, 2018 at 18:43 #6206Participant::Flynn is a sophisticated operator. He fully understood what was going on. He chose to go it alone to avoid the gang scene that would have otherwise occurred. He then apparently played his hand badly and got his ass in a jam.
I bet General Flynn walks because the FBI interfered with Flynn’s constitutional right to counsel…

A patriotic civilian citizen ranks much higher than a traitor in uniform who conspired against his own country.

Liberalism is the only ideology which has patriotism naturally built into it.
Rightwingism is an ideology of seclusion, hate, selfishness, segregation, violence, xenophobia, fear, ignorance, bigotry, cruelty, ethnic-nationalism and greed.

Does it break your heart that you don’t get to decide who is and isn’t a patriot?

Participant::The REAL reason was money. Only money. He doesn’t have the rich man’s money that would be needed to hire a defense lawyer. He took a bullet to save his family from losing everything. Lawyer fees would have ruined his family and left them all broke. It was an honorable thing to do.
Now we are seeing that the injustice done to Flynn is coming to light and, I suspect, it will remedied very soon.
