Was Flynn entrapped?

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.

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.

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?

.

I find it difficult to believe this kind of thing is legal. I thought this was a free country.

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?

[task0778]

Know what I think? I think for about 6 or 7 months after the Flynn interview nobody intended to go after Flynn at all, not until Mueller showed up and started looking for ways to make Trump or his administration look bad, and if possible dig up or coerce any dirt they could from anybody that might be able to provide anything in the way of dirt. And then they decided to go after Flynn, but when they looked at the original 302 it appeared that the FBI agents didn't see anything dishonest or deceitful on Flynn's part. So, they destroyed the original 302, even though it was material evidence in the case. And they went after Flynn's son, and told Flynn that he better cooperate with them of his son would be essentially.ruined. So Flynn copped to the plea deal. Clinton gt the elevator, and Flynn got the shaft.

A man who was in Flynn's position needed to be made perfectly clear that he was being interviewed for an investigation.

Is there a Miranda requirement that was violated? There was not.

There was talk about attorneys and McCabe suggested "this would be quicker if we don't involve them"

That in no way absolves Flynn for lying.

Flynn is not even contesting the fact that he lied.

Flynn was extorted by prosecutors, they threatened his family.

A lie is a lie - not alternative facts. LOCK HIM UP!

Funny, that wasn't your opinion when the bitch lied to congress.

No misogyny here.

 

[Skylar]

"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

And where does your anonymous source say that Mueller is applying pressure on the father with criminal liability to his son? The closest they came was 'could'. Not 'are'.

So the entire basis for your entire conspiracy.......is speculation from an anonymous source on 'could'.

That's some weak tea.

 

[task0778]

" Only the Right would run away from personal responsibility when one of their own lies and gets busted for it. "


Oh, I kinda doubt that. The Left NEVER takes any personal responsibilities for their lies, to deny that is to deny reality. And it doesn't look to me like Flynn or his lawyers are running away from personal responsibility.

So here's a question for you: do you think the Mueller team oughta get away with prosecutorial misconduct? Do you think it's fair and honest for the FBI to tell a person that they don't need a lawyer and then use whatever they said against them in a court of law? You okay with that?

Are you okay with the fact that the original 302 written a few days after the interview took place is now missing? And that document probably indicated that the agents did not believe at the time that Flynn was dishonest or deceitful? We know that cuz Comey said as much to Congress about 6 weeks later, they did not intend to prosecute Flynn at that time.

The FBI had a transcript of the conversation between Flynn and the Russian guy, so tell me why they had to talk to Flynn in the 1st place. They already knew there was nothing illegal or untoward said in that conversation, so why'd they go back to Flynn at all? Wouldn't be because they wanted to squeeze Flynn for all they were worth, looking for any dirt they could find in Trump or his associates, could it? You tell me, is that what the FBI is supposed to be doing, THEY ALREADY KNEW THERE WAS NO CRIME! So, they manufactured one, and you're okay with that?

Straight out: do you think the investigations into Hillary Clinton and Gen Flynn were treated with the same degree of vigor? I don't think so, not even close.

I find it difficult to believe this kind of thing is legal

Lying to the FBI?

No ...it's not legal

So why did Hillary get away with it?

 

[Skylar]

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.

So you're claiming that Flynn didn't lie to the federal investigators now?

One would have thought that after your spanking over your comic imaginings about Miranda rights, you'd have given up on the 'disprove whatever hapless batshit I make up!' routine.

But apparently not.

"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

And where does your anonymous source say that Mueller is applying pressure on the father with criminal liability to his son? The closest they came was 'could'. Not 'are'.

So the entire basis for your entire conspiracy.......is speculation from an anonymous source on 'could'.

That's some weak tea.

You are in deep denial.

What was the lie exactly?

Or...I don't accept your imagination as evidence. As even your anonymous sources don't say that Mueller is applying pressure on Flynn by threatening his son for his criminal actions.

They merely say that Mueller could. From which you've invented an elaborate conspiracy backed by nothing.

Why is so much right wing rhetoric just empty conspiracy batshit?

Read the plea agreement:

Michael Flynn Plea Agreement Documents

Just because you refuse to look at the lies that Flynn has admitted doesn't make the plea agreement where Flynn admits those lies disappear.

They genuinely don't care. They're literally arguing their own ignorance. And then making shit up to replace the overwhelming evidence they're ignoring.
