LOLOLIts a technicalityWhich is a serious crime. It made Scooter Libby and Roger Stone convicted felons.Flynn is accused of lying to the FBIThat's true, had Flynn not broken the law, he would not be facing jail time now.Yet is flynn had told the FBI “Sure I talked to the russians” ,which is not a crime, that would be the end of itNot true. He spoke with Russian officials on what to do about Obama's sanctions. Then he lied about it. Then Pence, based on Flynn's lies, told falsehoods. Then Flynn lied again. Then he got caught.
The Mueller report's account of Michael Flynn's lies
nothing more
flynn was blindsided and not told he was under investigation
so he answered questions off the cuff in an informal setting and without his lawyer to advise him
No, it's not a technicality -- it's a federal crime. He wasn't answering questions "off the cuff." He was intentionally lying about his involvement with discussing Obama's sanctions with Russian officials.
So what was he trying to cover up by lying?
