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.

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.

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.
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..

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

This was not some dumbass general, this was a strategic play.
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.
[Action News4] PITTSBURGH ‐ Mayor Bill Peduto and Gov. Tom Wolf, joined by members of City Council and the state Legislature, said they will work to pass what they call "common sense gun legislation" for Pittsburgh.
The proposals announced Friday come in the wake of the Tree of Life Synagogue shootings and on the anniversary of the Sandy Hook shootings. Peduto said it's clear that more needs to be done on gun issues on the local level.
"The only answer we've gotten from Washington is, 'Nothing can be done, there's nothing that can be done.' That is not an answer. There are solutions that can be done," Peduto said at a news conference attended by gun safety advocates and supporters. "What has stalled in Washington doesn't necessarily mean that we can't make it happen at a local level."
"We simply cannot accept this violence as a normal part of American life, and now we can't wait any longer," Wolf said.
The governor supports changes in state law to empower Pittsburgh and other local governments to act.
"If we continue to allow so many citizens to live in fear of mass shootings, when we can act right now to reduce that risk, we're robbing citizens of their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," Wolf said.
"Enough is enough, and this has to stop," City Councilman Corey O'Connor said.
"We're here to say 'No more,'" City Councilwoman Erika Strassburger said.

How many citizens of Pennsylvania died last year due to mistakes at hospitals? How many died on your highway and roads?
Why are you not just as concerned in those cases? Because it doesn't pose a threat to your garnishment of ever more power? [which is exactly why there is a 2d Amendment]
Doesn't look like mass shootings is their biggest problem. Hey, maybe they should pass a law saying the inhabitants can't kill each other! Nah, where is the opportunity for political grandstanding in that?

The Tree of Life shooting was done with pistols. Still, I suppose it's silly to ask why ban assault weapons because of that because, well, um, well...because...oh yeah! Common Sense!

While ignoring the elephant in the room: Pennsylvania drug overdose deaths outpacing all other states The CDC information showed that in the 12 months that ended with July 2017, the number of drug overdose deaths in Pennsylvania was 5,443, an increase of 43.4 percent from the 3,797 that occurred in the previous 12-month period.

Common sense gun control comes from a steady hand, a good eye, a clear mind and plenty of practice at the range.
Don't try to control gun ownership by trying to criminalize the law-abiding. Common sense gun legislation is just another disguised attempt at gun control and ultimately gun confiscation.
Instead focus on crime and criminals, terrorism, and false flag operations. Also restore the rule of law instead of the 2-tier system we currently have.
