Mueller Gives Flynn's ‘302' to Judge, but not the original '302' report
2018-12-15
BLUF:
[Breitbart] The original 302 report is referenced in the 302 submitted, but it does not appear to have been provided to the court.

The 302 submitted to the court includes a number of interesting revelations, including that the agents decided that they would "not warn Flynn that it was a crime to lie during an FBI interview because they wanted Flynn to be relaxed, and they were concerned that giving the warnings might adversely affect the rapport" with the agents.

The 302 also notes that Flynn "did not give any indicators of deception," and that Strzok and the other agent ‐ whose name was redacted, "both had the impression at the time that Flynn was not lying or did not think he was lying."

That latter impression directly contradicts the statement of then-FBI Director James Comey. Last Friday, as the Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel noted, Comey told a House investigative panel under oath that "the conclusion of the investigators was he was obviously lying.

#24  #15 If there is any justice the judge will hold Mueller in contempt and jail him until they get the original.

As the Spartans would say:

"If."

#23  Supporting 49 Pan's theory at #16:

After running gun battles with Brennan over the conduct of the GWOT, then being relieved as Director DIA, Flynn knew he had been targeted. Trailing blood into the Trump Campaign. An interesting timeline:

Nov 10, 2016: Obama warns Trump not to hire Flynn.

Nov 12, 2016: Trump hires Flynn.

Nov 17, 2106: Admiral Mike Rogers, Director NSA visits Trump Towers.

Nov 18, 1016: Trump campaign moves out of Trump Towers and re-locates to Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster, NJ.

Interesting video - Joe Digeniva regarding Admiral Mike Rogers and related FISA discovery events.

#22  This was not some dumbass general, this was a strategic play.

God in heaven, 49 Pan, I pray you are right.

#21  49Pan has a good analysis of Flynn’s situation. The problem is will the rule of law prevail in breaking up these deep state soviet style tactics before the remains of the rule of law is destroyed by the left.

#20  Ref #16: Very interesting analysis and theory.

If you find that theory interesting there is a lot more analysis along those lines at this site. I'm not going to attest to the veracity, but it does give a lot of food for thought.

#19  If Flynn is overturned, the entire Mueller investigation becomes subject to the Exclusionary rule - including the "Fruit of the poisonous tree" legal doctrine. This means that the entire tapestry of lies Mueller ha woven will come under scrutiny, and just like a cheap sweater, you pul that one thread and the whole thing falls apart.

This would allow everyonr currently under investigation or convicted to appeal and have their convictions tossed. Mueller would have to start over, tabula rasa, and would likely have to seek new indictments with a new grand jury, and do that without a lot of his "key" evidence. And this time he would be up against people who know he was coming, knew what to expect, and who would have laywers and defenses ready to stop him before he started.

Now what we need is Mueller and the FBI investigated by an independent prosecutor. Strzok, McCabe, Mueller, Brennan, and many others should be investigated, charged and tried for things ranging from lying to under oath, to Conspiracy, to violating the constitution by trying to alter the election.

#17   their arrogance and hubris would be their demise.

Let's hope 49 Pan; otherwise we will continue live under the boot of a huge criminal empire.

I think their hubris, arrogance, criminality and pure evil will be their undoing

#16  Flynn is not a victim. He is a 3 star general, head of the greatest intel agency and never asks a question he does not already have the answer to. He knew the president was in trouble, he took a bullet for Trump. Even a ten year old knows from TV that you need legal reps when being interviewed by the FBI and they should mirandize you. Flynn is no exception. He was setting them up knowing their arrogance and hubris would be their demise. He told them everything and then gave them one white lie. He knew it was a lie and he knew they would charge him for it. When charged he did not fight it. He immediately pled guilty, why? Because his legal team knew the FBI broke the law. Now that he is convicted and he brings up the FBI antics, that are against the law, he will win in court. But that is ALL just the set up. He was the first to be interviewed, he ran his mouth about everything. The investigation used it as the base for their entire Trump investigation. When he wins, and he will, everything he said, everything that the FBI did after the investigation in going after Trump will be tied to the Flynn interview, and that interview will be inadmissible. All of the information gained from the leads of that interview will be fruit from the poison tree. This was not some dumbass general, this was a strategic play.

#8  So, is there any doubt now that the FBI views the law as something that's in their way as they go about their witch hunts and vendettas?

#7  American Conservative - Mueller’s Investigation is Missing One Thing: A Crime

Excert:

The big reveal of the Michael Flynn sentencing memo on Tuesday was that he will likely do no prison time Everything of substance in the memo was redacted, so there is little insight available. If you insist on speculation, try this: it’s hard to believe that something really big and bad happened such that Flynn knew about it but still wasn’t worth punishing for it, and now, a year after he started cooperating with the government, still nobody has heard anything about whatever the big deal is. So chances are the redactions focus on foreign lobbying in the U.S..

#5  Wray's body language and general attitude betray him. I have not trusted him, not from day one. Another whom I have no use for is Koshkinen the IRS chief. Yet another is the onerous James Comey. No need to discuss his attitude or demeanor.

Posted by: Frank G   2018-12-15 06:56  

#2  Exactly B. FBI head Wray refused to investigate Comey's private E-mail. Proving without a doubt he's part of the treason plot or flat out covering it up.

GOP for 2 years have proven time and time again they have no spine and or part of plot to overthrow our government, via 1984.

The larger problem is that it's so obvious.
