Michael Flynn - WikipediaYeah!
So?
WTF does that have to do with my question?
Do you have the statute the FBI was investigating because he lied to his boss? That was your claim.
The Logan Act says it is up to the FBI to investigate a govt employee who lies to his boss?Yeah!They were conducting a national security investigation.Hey idiot, background checks are done before he was hired. Please show me the statute the FBI was trying to enforce when Flynn lied to his boss.Hey Dummy, crimes are what FBI investigations are all about.
They don't investigate lies from an employee, ya raving lunatic.
The background investigation and records checks for Secret and Top Secret security clearance are mandated by Presidential Executive Order (EO).
the FBI conducts investigations on behalf of the White House, the White House security office makes the adjudicative decision.
Who Issues Security Clearances?
There is a difference between conducting a background investigation and issuing a security clearance. The actual clearance determinations are made by the agency issuing you a clearance. DCSA or NBIB are investigations providers. - Security Clearancenews.clearancejobs.com
The FBI investigates lies, it's their job in investigating security clearances.
This should be fun.

Please cut and paste the relevant part of The Logan Act that says that.
THis judge is losing credibility real fast. HIS unethical behavior is unprecedented. The moment the DOJ abandoned the prosecution it was over. If he persists he needs to be brought up on ethics charges and disbarred.There is a miniscule bit of doubt on what Gleeson will say after being tasked by Sullivan to make the argument for why the case against Flynn should be dismissed after the DOJ dropped the case, siting investigative and prosecutorial misconduct.
Sullivan KNOWS exactly what the Clinton-appointed. Trump-hating ex-Judge-turned Anti-Trump Op-Ed-author will say...which is EXACTLT why Sullivan ordered HIM to make the argument:
'Gleeson, a Clinton appointee who served as a federal judge in New York, has expressed suspicion that the DOJ’s move was tainted by political influence.'
Just several days ago, BEFORE being tapped by Sullivan to make the argument against the DOJ and Flynn, Gleeson wrote:
“Government motions to dismiss at this stage are virtually unheard of. There has been nothing regular about the department’s effort to dismiss the Flynn case. The record reeks of improper political influence.”
Yes, I agree - IT SURE AS HELL DOES NOW!

Flynn was under national security counterintelligence investigation. He needed a security clearance (which the FBI investigates) for the job. Any criminal activity, from the logan act, to FARA violations, to lying to the FBI would be disqualifiers for a Top Secret security clearance.FARA covers a govt employee lying to his boss?WTF does that have to do with my question?

The motion was to vacate prosecution due to prosecutorial misconduct (Entrapment). Once informed of the misconduct Sullivan has no other recourse but to vacate the prosecution.Appeal what? He pled guilty.No.There are still charges. The DOJ petioned the judge to drop them. It's his decision to make.There is no longer any 'charge' as the DOJ dropped its entire criminal caseNot even a perjury trap. That isn’t the charge.
Wow you seriously don't know what the fuck is going on- Flynn already pled guilty and DOJ's motion was HALTED.
Yep, HALTED due to CHARGES BEING DROPPED...dumbass.
I see "Thinker" is at it again.
Flynn's case is still very much open, he can and probably will still get convicted. Let me know what part of that you are too stupid to understand.
Since there are no longer any charges, what will he be convicted for...Einstein.
The case isn't the judge VS Michael Flynn.
The judge is there only to act as an arbiter of the facts of the case. He doesn't decide who gets charged or who doesn't. That's up to the State.
It’s a good point, and not an easy case. Flynn is already charged and already pled guilty. It’s unheard of that the charges get dropped in this manner without something new coming to light which materially changes the facts and that just hasn’t happened.
I do think the judge is not at liberty to decline the motion, I could be wrong. But I hope that he calls in the DoJ and demand answers about their shenanigans.
He is at liberty to decline the motion and proceed with sentencing, however, it would get appealed right away.
What this judge will do is carefully dismantle DOJ's motion, so DOJ can't claim it wasn't adequately dealt with on appeal.
Barr’s team is trying to argue that he pled to non-crime. That the lying to FBI was not illegal because it wasn’t material to the investigation.
Lead prosecutor on this case strongly disagreed and quit right before this motion was filed.Judge has also ruled that the lying was in fact material. He’ll just beat that horse into the ground now before sentencing.
WTF dood, judges don't prosecute...dumbass.
Moron, Lead Prosecutor and the Judge are two different people.
Exactly, and lead prosecutor has dropped charges. Get a fricken clue.
Barr and his unconfirmed, interim lackey have petitioned the court to drop the charges.
LOLFlynn was under national security counterintelligence investigation.
Flynn was the incoming staff of the PRESIDENT ELECT and as such had authority to make the contacts he did. The Logan act can not apply and Obama knew this!
LOLOn January 22, 2017, The Wall Street Journal reported that Flynn was under investigation by U.S. counterintelligence agents for his communications with Russian officials.
Sullivan may vacate the 18 USC 1001 charge, and then charge Flynn with perjury.The motion was to vacate prosecution due to prosecutorial misconduct (Entrapment). Once informed of the misconduct Sullivan has no other recourse but to vacate the prosecution.
Still don’t see anything about the FBI investigating an employee lying to his boss..Flynn was the incoming staff of the PRESIDENT ELECT and as such had authority to make the contacts he did. The Logan act can not apply and Obama knew this!
Maybe I have to speak louder.
18 U.S. Code § 953.Private correspondence with foreign governments
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof...
Authority of the United States is dictated by Article 2 of the Constitution, and the president elect had no authority of the United States.
President elect, is like being someones fiancee, it means nothing legally.
Under the law of most, if not all, states, the non-legal status of being someone's finance or fiancee gives that person no rights upon the partner's death or disability.
So, you are saying he lied about lying to the FBI?Sullivan may vacate the 18 USC 1001 charge, and then charge Flynn with perjury.The motion was to vacate prosecution due to prosecutorial misconduct (Entrapment). Once informed of the misconduct Sullivan has no other recourse but to vacate the prosecution.
You can't lie under oath to a federal judge.
LOLFlynn was under national security counterintelligence investigation.
Flynn had the security clearences in hand. The investigation you speak of was not legal and had origins in the Obama WHite House. This whole mess is falling apart on you people and your still grasping at straws.
Flynn was the National Security Advisor of the PRESIDENT ELECT at that time. He had the position and the lawful right to call anyone he wished and to make policy positions clear.without authority of the United States,
What crime? Where is your probable cause?LOLFlynn was under national security counterintelligence investigation.

You know that criminal activity is grounds for immediate suspension of security clearances. As is clandestine communication with foreign agents. Both of which the FBI investigates and reports back to the issuing authority.
