Was Flynn entrapped?

[bripat9643]

Flynn is begging the judge for leniency and Mueller agrees that he deserves it. Mike must have given a ton of good stuff for Mueller to be so easy with his recommendation. I WOULD NOT want to be named trump at this particular juncture....or for that matter EVER!

Sort of makes you wonder a little bit. Flynn was a NS adviser and that usually means dealing with foreign nations (like Russia). He was with Trump during the entire campaign so he probably has the "wide angle" lens of what was going on in the campaign. So much of the Russia component was access and influence through that access (just yesterday the WSJ had a story about the inaugural being paid for by foreign interests). He could have spilled some pretty big beans.

There is no "Russia component," you giant flaming dumbass.

Donald is already implicated in a Felony...actually DIRECTED the Felony and Mueller is nowhere near finished. Mueller is still going after a sit down with the Liar in Chief. That will be trump's demise...Clinton had to do it, and trump will have to do it.

Give it up....You Orange King is nothing more than a Charlatan who has played the greatest Shell Game on American voters in US history. I will give him credit for that. He was relying on the stupidity of people like you, who were just too simple to see they were being rooked...Grow a Brain Please!

Trump isn't implicated in anything, moron.

 

[OKTexas]

I've provided a link 3 times in this thread, look it up.

Then list the post number...unless it is the claim I respond to below. Then you might as well swallow your tongue

No, you have it dead wrong. He never denied talking to the Russians. Read the plea agreement one of the other libtards tried to use as a reference. It shows you are wrong as well as them. Flynn claimed he didn't discuss sanctions, which he may have not remembered or was confused. The FBI agents didn't seem to to think he was lying, so why was he charged? The deputy director and director of the FBI neither thought he was lying? Why was he charged?

He told the same lies to the FBI as he did to Pence...for which he was fired.

And you think the FBI describing his outward APPEARANCE is them saying he didn't lie...YOU are lying....or incredibly stupid. You pick. I say both

Look it up fagot, or you can fuck of and die, I'm not your secretary.

.

Wow, you're lucky you don't get banned saying stuff like that. You must be "special".

Or I know how to stay within the rules, you figure it out.

.

Homophobic, threats, nastiness, I didn’t realize those were within the rules.

Republicans think decorum is something you do with your Christmas tree.

There were no threats, why do you chose to be a fucking commie liar?

[deanrd]

Flynn fucked himself

Not one single human held a gun to his head and made him lie or answer questions without a lawyer present - NOT ONE.

They violated his Miranda rights, you sleazy Stalinist douchebag. You don't want to give Flynn the same rights we give to rapists and murderers.

You're lower than squid shit.

Says you. And with Flynn admitting his guilt, there's no question he did it.

And also no question you'll continue to defend any crime commited by Team Trump. No matter how many, or how indisputable.

Wrong again, you fat homosexual. He agreed to a plea. That doesn't mean he admits guilt in the absolute sense of the term. One thing is certain is that I will never condone the douchebag Stalinist tactics Herr Mueller is so fond of. Anyone who endorses this king of thing is a piece of shit.

He agreed to plead guilty. That is the definition of "admission of guilt"

Only in the legal sense. Intelligent people understand that you can't "agree" to something when a gun is being held to your head.

Here's the leftwing conception of "agree."

Wait a second, doesn't your kind think waterboarding is not torture and is actually a "good thing"?

I don't think this is your best example.

Water boarding is torture, but I have no problem with using it on Jihadi terrorist scum.

 

[dudmuck]

"Was Flynn entrapped?"

Nope.

What more clarification do you need?

We need a special council with an unlimited budget with the full resources of the Federal Gov't to find out. In this process we need to be able to get Warrants to raid anyone we please because we are looking for a crime not investigating one. Which allows us to go back and check their taxes from their very first job...........and see if they may have committed any crime in the history of their life...........Then we need to question them about evidence we find from decades ago and if it doesn't match what was said decades ago then we catch them in a LIE.......and charge them to lying to the FBI or whatever agency is questioning them.

If they own a business we need to have every agency to do an investigation on that place of business including OSHA to find out is a carboard box is in the driving lane of a Warehouse so they can be fined for OSHA violations as they did Truth the vote..........We need to tie them up in court until those individuals are bankrupt trying to defend themselves so even if found innocent of all they are destroyed financially anyways....................Look into their families and see if we can find something to charge them with there also so we can MAKE THEM SING TO THE TUNE we want them to say.

Karma is a MF...............you had better hope the other side doesn't use the same methods of the Dems during the Obama administration.................

Did he get entrapped for a non crime........DAMN SKIPPY.....You betcha.........

Federal agents didnt ask Flynn about some obscure detail of his life from long ago. They were asking him about sanctions discussions which he was currently engaged in.

Sooooo. Perfectly legal as part of transistion team. Not a secret that the incoming didn't want to go postal with Russia. Different strategy in Syria as well. Obama wanted to overthrow Assad. New administration didn't.

Only good policy if you sell vacuum cleaners

Its not legal during the campaign. Only sitting administration can negotiate such policy issues with foreign governments.
This where we go from "no collusion' to 'collusion not a crime".

Every incoming administration has done the same thing, numskull. It's standard operating procedure.

Its not standard operating procedure to lie about it to authorities, or negotiating with a country thats meddling in our election.

It was for Hillary.

Let's talk about SOP when it comes to investigations.

1. It is not within the purview of the FBI or DOJ or the Special Prosecutor's Office (SPO) to assume the target defendant is aware of their rights, or that the FBI has in their possession a transcript of a conversation you had with a foreign person. If you tell the target they do not need a lawyer present then anything they might say ought to be off the record.

2. What Flynn should have known is beside the point, unless there is a specific, lawful requirement for him to know the applicable rules and laws, such as the handling of classified data. Otherwise it is not for the prosecution to assume what the defendent knows or is aware of, that is why every arrested person gets mirandized first.

3. It is not SOP for the FBI/DOJ/SPO to destroy any evidence related to an interrogation of anyone, as they did with the original 302. According to Comey when he testifies before Congress, the FBI agents who did the interview had no reason to believe Flynn was untruthful; I doubt it is SOP to charge someone with lying when the interviewers said he didn't lie.

4. It is not SOP for the FBI/DOJ/SPO to investigate somebody without just cause. Why did they investigate/interview Flynn in the 1st place? They already had a transcript of his conversation with the Russian guy, so what was the point? If the FBI/DOJ/SPO had just cause then they are duty-bound to inform the individual, you simply cannot tell that person that they don't need a lawyer and then use whatever he says as evidence against him.

There are rules to follow to guarantee a fair trial for the accused, THAT is SOP and the FBI/DOJ and Mueller's team failed to do that.

Checking Robert Mueller
KIMBERLEY A. STRASSEL DECEMBER 13, 2018

Robert Mueller has operated for 19 months as a law unto himself, reminding us of the awesome and destructive powers of special counsels. About the only possible check on Mr. Mueller is a judge who is wise to the tricks of prosecutors and investigators. Good news: That’s what we got this week.

Former national security adviser Mike Flynn a year ago pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation about his conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. Mr. Flynn’s defense team this week filed a sentencing memo to Judge Emmet Sullivan that contained explosive new information about the Flynn-FBI meeting in January 2017.

It was arranged by then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who personally called Mr. Flynn on other business, then suggested he sit down with two agents to clear up the Russia question. Mr. McCabe urged Mr. Flynn to conduct the interview with no lawyer present—to make things easier.

The agents (including the infamous Peter Strzok) showed up within two hours. They had already decided not to inform Mr. Flynn that they had transcripts of his conversations or give him the standard warning against lying to the FBI. They wanted him “relaxed” and “unguarded.” Former Director James Comey this weekend bragged on MSNBC that he would never have “gotten away” with such a move in a more “organized” administration.

The whole thing stinks of entrapment, though the curious question was how the Flynn defense team got the details. The court filing refers to a McCabe memo written the day of the 2017 meeting, as well as an FBI summary—known as a 302—of the Flynn interview. These are among documents congressional Republicans have been fighting to obtain for more than a year, only to be stonewalled by the Justice Department. Now we know why the department didn’t want them public.

They have come to light thanks to a man who knows well how men like Messrs. Mueller and Comey operate: Judge Sullivan. He sits on the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, and as he wrote for the Journal last year, he got a “wake-up call” in 2008 while overseeing the trial of then-Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska. Judge Sullivan ultimately assigned a lawyer to investigate Justice Department misconduct.

The investigator’s report found prosecutors had engaged in deliberate and repeated ethical violations, withholding key evidence from the defense. It also excoriated the FBI for failing to write up 302s and for omitting key facts from those it did write. The head of the FBI was Mr. Mueller.

Judge Sullivan has since made it his practice to begin every case with a Brady order, which reminds prosecutors of their constitutional obligation to provide the defense with any exculpatory evidence. On Dec. 12, 2017, days after being assigned the Flynn case, Judge Sullivan issued such an order, instructing Mr. Mueller’s team to turn over “any evidence in its possession that is favorable to defendant and material either to defendant’s guilt or punishment.” Had any other judge drawn the case, we likely would never have seen these details of the FBI’s behavior.

It’s clear that something has concerned the judge—who likely sees obvious parallels to the Stevens case. The media was predicting a quick ruling in the Flynn case. Instead, Judge Sullivan issued new orders Wednesday, demanding to see for himself the McCabe memo and the Flynn 302. He also ordered the special counsel to hand over by Friday any other documents relevant to the Flynn-FBI meeting.

Given his history with the FBI, the judge may also have some questions about the curious date on the Flynn 302—Aug. 22, 2017, seven months after the interview. Texts from Mr. Strzok and testimony from Mr. Comey both suggest the 302 was written long before then. Was the 302 edited in the interim? If so, by whom, and at whose direction? FBI officials initially testified to Congress that the agents did not think Mr. Flynn had lied.

Judges have the ability to reject plea deals and require a prosecutor to make a case at trial. The criminal-justice system isn’t only about holding defendants accountable; trials also provide oversight of investigators and their tactics. And judges are not obliged to follow prosecutors’ sentencing recommendations.

No one knows how Judge Sullivan will rule. His reputation is for being no-nonsense, a straight shooter, an advocate of government transparency. Whatever the outcome, he has done the nation a favor by using his Brady order to hold prosecutors to some account and allow the country a glimpse at how federal law enforcement operates. Which is the very least the country can expect.

Outline - Read & annotate without distractions

It is hard not to come to the conclusion that two different forms of justice exist in this country, one for democrats and another for their adversaries. Specifically anyone with ties to Trump.

Oh, and did you know that the iphones issued to Strozk and Page by the SCO were determined BY SOMEONE IN THE SPECIAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE to contain ‘No substantive texts, notes or reminders', so the phones were wiped clean and restored to factory settings, meaning anything on them was gone. That was done after both of them were removed from the SCO investigation back in the summer of 2017, but given that many within Mueller's organization were friends/supporters/associates/donors to the Clintons, how much credence should we give to those determinations?

We don't know what information was summarily destroyed, but the whole process stinks to high heaven. Maybe it's all coincidental and innocent of wrong-doing, no proof that it wasn't because once again any possible incrimination evidence has been deleted. You know, after awhile a patttern kind of emerges.

The OIG was able to recover more than 19,000 texts between Strozk and Page on their old government-issued Samsung Galaxy S5 devices that had been lost due to the agency’s “collection tool failure.” The OIG did not include the content of these texts in the report. I suspect at some point maybe we'll find out more about what really happened.

DOJ Destroyed Missing Strzok/Page Texts Before IG Reviewed Them

First was Monica lewinski entrapped? You didn’t care then why now?

Why are you defending Nixon?

No, Lewinski was betrayed by a supposed friend.

.

She didn’t want to testify. So was she entrapped?

We all know she was betrayed by a friend. That wasn’t the question. Why did you deflect from the point I made? Was Monica entrapped?

I’ll answer for you. Yes she was but you guys didn’t ask or care about that.

Now you’re worrying about how we caught the criminals?

When a black person goes to court the judge doesn’t care if they were entrapped. This is legal mumbo jumbo bs lawyer arguments. Rich people have good lawyers, I mean liars.

Funny trump picked such a shitty lawyer, doctor, Flynn, manafort. Are these the best and brightest or are they criminals? Christie, Rudy, kelleyanne.

And the good ones like tillerson trump calls stupid? And you buy that? You think tillerson is wrong not trump? Boy are you loyal. You’ll accept the deep state theory every time and call any bad news fake.

Y’all are Nazis

Got news for you. New administration can discuss lifting sanctions IF TRUE. Part of negotiable terms if they do this or that in the Ukraine. Part of getting our ass out of Syria. Negotiations.

But yeah I know the Senate and Congress forced those to stay after he was sworn in and Trump signed. Blah blah blah

I honestly think you dumb asses are so deranged you want a War with Russia. Stupid in motion.

Pick the perjury traps and ignore the lies of Comey and others.

Up yours Dems.

"Holding his son hostage" is as unbelievable as thinking that Donald knew nothing about the Junior-Russian meeting a few floors below him in trump tower....

Classic example of a 'drive by' political forum poster whose TDS controls most of what they post. Here...even NBC says you are an idiot. Mueller is indeed holding Flynn's son as 'hostage' by threatening prosecution for 'crimes' Mueller has made up.

"Several legal experts with knowledge of the investigation have told NBC News they believe Mueller, following a classic prosecutorial playbook, is seeking to compel key players, including Flynn and Manafort, to tell what they know about any possible Trump campaign collusion with Russia. Mueller has brought onto his team a federal prosecutor known for convincing subjects to turn on associates. Any potential criminal liability for Michael G. Flynn could put added pressure on his father, these legal experts said.

"Any time a family member is identified as a subject that does increase pressure," said Peter White, a former federal prosecutor. "In the typical parent-child relationship the last thing any parent would want is for their child to get in trouble for something they" initiated."

Mike Flynn's son is subject of federal Russia investigation

Judge Sullivan has since made it his practice to begin every case with a Brady order, which reminds prosecutors of their constitutional obligation to provide the defense with any exculpatory evidence. On Dec. 12, 2017, days after being assigned the Flynn case, Judge Sullivan issued such an order, instructing Mr. Mueller’s team to turn over “any evidence in its possession that is favorable to defendant and material either to defendant’s guilt or punishment.” Had any other judge drawn the case, we likely would never have seen these details of the FBI’s behavior.

It’s clear that something has concerned the judge—who likely sees obvious parallels to the Stevens case. The media was predicting a quick ruling in the Flynn case. Instead, Judge Sullivan issued new orders Wednesday, demanding to see for himself the McCabe memo and the Flynn 302. He also ordered the special counsel to hand over by Friday any other documents relevant to the Flynn-FBI meeting.

Given his history with the FBI, the judge may also have some questions about the curious date on the Flynn 302—Aug. 22, 2017, seven months after the interview. Texts from Mr. Strzok and testimony from Mr. Comey both suggest the 302 was written long before then. Was the 302 edited in the interim? If so, by whom, and at whose direction? FBI officials initially testified to Congress that the agents did not think Mr. Flynn had lied.

Judges have the ability to reject plea deals and require a prosecutor to make a case at trial. The criminal-justice system isn’t only about holding defendants accountable; trials also provide oversight of investigators and their tactics. And judges are not obliged to follow prosecutors’ sentencing recommendations.

No one knows how Judge Sullivan will rule. His reputation is for being no-nonsense, a straight shooter, an advocate of government transparency. Whatever the outcome, he has done the nation a favor by using his Brady order to hold prosecutors to some account and allow the country a glimpse at how federal law enforcement operates. Which is the very least the country can expect.

It is hard not to come to the conclusion that two different forms of justice exist in this country, one for democrats and another for their adversaries. Specifically anyone with ties to Trump.

Oh, and did you know that the iphones issued to Strozk and Page by the SCO were determined BY SOMEONE IN THE SPECIAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE to contain ‘No substantive texts, notes or reminders', so the phones were wiped clean and restored to factory settings, meaning anything on them was gone. That was done after both of them were removed from the SCO investigation back in the summer of 2017, but given that many within Mueller's organization were friends/supporters/associates/donors to the Clintons, how much credence should we give to those determinations?

We don't know what information was summarily destroyed, but the whole process stinks to high heaven. Maybe it's all coincidental and innocent of wrong-doing, no proof that it wasn't because once again any possible incrimination evidence has been deleted. You know, after awhile a patttern kind of emerges.

The OIG was able to recover more than 19,000 texts between Strozk and Page on their old government-issued Samsung Galaxy S5 devices that had been lost due to the agency’s “collection tool failure.” The OIG did not include the content of these texts in the report. I suspect at some point maybe we'll find out more about what really happened.

DOJ Destroyed Missing Strzok/Page Texts Before IG Reviewed Them

First was Monica lewinski entrapped? You didn’t care then why now?

Why are you defending Nixon?

No, Lewinski was betrayed by a supposed friend.

.

She didn’t want to testify. So was she entrapped?

We all know she was betrayed by a friend. That wasn’t the question. Why did you deflect from the point I made? Was Monica entrapped?

I’ll answer for you. Yes she was but you guys didn’t ask or care about that.

Now you’re worrying about how we caught the criminals?

When a black person goes to court the judge doesn’t care if they were entrapped. This is legal mumbo jumbo bs lawyer arguments. Rich people have good lawyers, I mean liars.

Funny trump picked such a shitty lawyer, doctor, Flynn, manafort. Are these the best and brightest or are they criminals? Christie, Rudy, kelleyanne.

And the good ones like tillerson trump calls stupid? And you buy that? You think tillerson is wrong not trump? Boy are you loyal. You’ll accept the deep state theory every time and call any bad news fake.

Y’all are Nazis

Poor little freak, Flynn wasn't charged with any underlying crime. So fuck heads like you clam the government has a right to create a crime from an interview, even though the interview was about a non-crime. All it takes is forgetting one small detail of something that occurred months earlier. How about we track you on a day and question you about it months or years later. Do you think you'd have perfect recall?

Every incoming administration has done the same thing, numskull. It's standard operating procedure.

Its not standard operating procedure to lie about it to authorities, or negotiating with a country thats meddling in our election.

Oh please spare me. Transition teams job in a lead up to a new administration.

Take Reagan for example. Threatening Iran with Oblivion when he took office. They gave the hostages back at the last possible moment under Peanut Head. Mr. stagflation himself.

It was a set up period. Perjury trap ambushing the new administration for the insurance policy to cover their own corrupt asses. Fitting symbol of the Dem party.

And again. People like Come lied under oath and nothing.

Pfft

The plans for lifting Russia sanctions came from Cohen, not normal.

What "plans for lifting Russian sanctions?" Do you ever stop making things up?

Too stupid to click a link?

Try again

Trump lawyer sent Flynn a plan to lift Russia sanctions: Report

Too stupid to realize Flynn can not be charged with perjury if he's not under oath? Funny all those documents that have been released back up FLYNN. Mueller is pissing himself right about now.

Where's the part where Flynn lies?

The part where he told the FBI the same lies that Trump fired him for

You still can't quote the lie. Just admit you don't have a clue what it is.
