    No, it was that he lied to Pence.

    This is the ONLY thing that has been released and is not even a statement by Durham of where he is at. We have plenty of "hints" as to what these high level government officials were up to the question is do you support and if the Trump administration decides to them to spy on and harass the Biden campaign will you he as silent about it?

    It does when he lied about a call with the nation interfering, while were trying to figure out who was helping them.

    Pence is thee VP Flynn has no obligation to tell him anything except at the behest of his boss the President and if he felt his conversation with the Russian ambassador private and none of his concern so be it. It was NOT a matter for the DOJ or FBI other then if they merely wanted to inform the VP about a conversation they should not have been listening to in the first place let alone unmask.

    Again why did the FBI go and interview Flynn about it at all?

    They were investigating Russian collusion and worried his lies could make him vulnerable

    They knew there was no Russian collusion or that he was vulnerable. He had been cleared and the investigation dropped.They knew exactly what was said in the conversation why didn't 't they just say that? Why didn't they give Flynn a transcript?

    Why didn’t he just tell the truth? Instead he told them the same lie he told Pence. Obviously that would make them assume he was hiding something from everyone.

    Pence has now said that he does not think that Flynn intended to mislead him. So there's that, too.

    Ahhhh nope. Answer my question, why was the FBI there to interview him in the first place, they knew EXACTLY what had been said in the conversation, if they believed there was a Logan Act violation they had everything they needed. Why were they there AT ALL?

    um one that’s not a crime and sense the evidence has come to light Pence says he doesn’t believe he was lied to by Flynn. Seems we were all lied to by a rogue Obama FBI

    what lie was that? Pence now says after reviewing the evidence the mueller team was hiding that he was lied to at all. The FBI said the call was legit and. now that the mueller team released all the Brady evidence the DOj says there was no crime.

    So Flynn told Pence that he discussed sanctions? Why’d he lie to the American about it?

    Funny how time and political pressure changes ones viewpoint, isn't it?

    SNIP
    "What I can tell you is I knew that he lied to me," Pence replied, "and I know the president made the right decision with regard to him."
    ENDSNIP

    Notice he didn't go with the whole wishy-washy 'mislead' thing back then...

    Well, actually, they probably couldn't until after the inauguration, but I'm not sure exactly what you are responding to...

    We know Eisenberg read the transcripts, but not until February....

    show me where he lied? the agents said the call was legit and the agents said they didnt believe he was lying. Yet rogue Comey (at who’s direction?) still pushes the case and gave it to mueller. Face it...this was Obamagate...Flynn was the insurance policy.

    huh? there was no lie there was no talk of sanctions

    didn’t you hear Yates testimony? she was completely unaware and left in the dark by rogue Comey and the Obamagate gang. She was mistaken when she reached out to Pence

    Or, perhaps Pence realized he got played by the FBI and, by that point, Pence was already under pressure to admit guilt, lol.

    Bill Priestap wasn't even sure what the goal of investigating Flynn was, lol.

    I don’t know if that’s true. They get intel briefings, seems like they could get this. At least they could when he got interviewed.

    Well, I don't know how much those intel briefings would include those phone calls, especially before the inauguration.

    This story said Eisenberg went on 2/2/17. Not sure why he'd be sent if the administration had access to the full transcripts before that.

    This is also confirmed by McGahn to Mueller..

    Still not sure what point anybody is trying to make with this point though... this is long after the act had occurred...

    Again, from the Mueller report... one of my favorite Flynn paragraphs

    upload_2020-8-16_18-48-43.png

    Pretty funny that even though Eisenberg/McGahn reviewed the phone call transcripts @ 2/2, Pence didn't until 2/9 or 2/10.

    Real tight group there...
