Here is the transcript why listen to a YouTube that may have been possibly altered. https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/sally-yates-opening-testimony-transcript-august-5 I did not see any documentional proof that the FBI allegedly said Flynn did not lie. Trump said Flynn lied to Pense. Are you saying Trump lied???
Today those who fit the definition of "Usefull Idiots" are those who support Donald's lie that Russia did not even try to interfere. You want to see a useful idiot watch POTUS D at the Helsinki news conference where POTUS D crawled on his hands and knee licked the bottom of Putin's shoes at the same time that POTUS D crapped on our own Intel agencies. That it what today's useful idiots do.
Tashina Gauhar notes from 1/25/17 meeting with the FBI - the day after the Flynn interview. FBI assessed Flynn believed he was telling the truth. FBI: Flynn knows we have tech cuts, was affirmative in his answers. 3/30/17 - Dana Boente notes from meeting with Comey. Michael Flynn: "Do not view as source of collusion." 1/30/17 DOJ(?) Memo: "FBI advised that they believed Flynn believed what he was saying was true." FBI determined "Flynn was not acting as an agent of Russia."
Flynn was working for Russian Oligarghcs and or Russian companies. Flynn failed to report that he was working for Russian companies.
Not worth debating. Chew on this: Gallup poll finds 84% of Americans say media to blame for US political divide
The Logan Act was the right hand.... National Security issue was the left hand.... Each hand needed to squeeze Flynn's balls... The only thing Graham demolished (more) yesterday was his reputation...
The docs support Flynn, all that's left is to grab this rogue Judge by the neck and straighten him out.
1) There was nothing wrong with the phone call 2) He asked Russia not to retaliate to our sanctions.. OMG the horror. 3) His phone call had nothing to do with the election(s) Benghazi was an actual event.
The Logan Act was a red herring and laughable. How did Graham demolish his reputation, he managed to show that Comey was acting rouge without proper authority and that the Logan Act discussions were a farce. Why did Flynn's balls need to be squeezed? What was the purpose of that? And again was the purpose of the Obama policy to get the Russians to escalate and retaliate into a huge international incident?
It wasn't even the sanctions, sanctions were never even mentioned, it was to the expulsion of the Russians, that's it.
The Logan Act was such a farce that McGahn sent Eisenberg to go read the call transcripts and report back if Flynn broke the Logan Act. Eisenberg said it was possible and McGahn briefed Trump to that effect... Quite the farce, huh.... A lot of work going on the first week of the Trump administration over a farce...
It actually happens all the time, The prosecutor does not have enough evidence to make a prima facie case. Therefore, they can't go to trial. So, they try to leverage what they do have into a sweetheart deal. The prosecution was helped by the fact that General Flynn had to sell his house to pay his legal fees, and a threat to go after his son. He was also led to believe that the prosecution have other evidence against him. So, he caved. Again, that happens all the time. Innocent people going to jail for crimes they did not commit. Flynn took a plea agreement, but then the DOJ reneged. They took back the sentencing criteria, because Flynn refused to repeat the lies that they wanted him to. When they removed the sentencing guarantees, Flynn should have been allowed to change his plea. But Judicial Activist Sullivan would not allow him to. Remember, this is the same judge that tried to get the Prosecution to add a charge of treason to Flynn's trial. Under AG Barr, they DOJ reviewed the case against Flynn, and found a lot of misconduct on the part of the prosecution. Such as Brady Material that was withheld from the defense, and the fact that the interview that Sally Yates stated that happened without her knowledge was actually a case of entrapment. This is why the DOJ entered the motion to drop the case. Again, that highly biased Judicial Activist Sullivan has blocked every effort to drop the case. This all makes me wonder how much Sullivan is going to have to pay back to the DNC for not getting the verdict they wanted. Oh well, Sullivan has his day in court, on the other side of the bench, on Tuesday the 11th. His appeal of the Writ of Mandamus before the full DC Appeals court. During the walk through of the case last week, the court told both sides to explain why a judge that is biased in a case should not recuse himself. So, how will this saga end? Flynn goes free, and Sullivan get's disbarred. Comey, McCabe and Strzok among those indicted. President Trump reelected, and who knows, maybe Flynn reinstated as President Trump's National Security Advisor, Wouldn't that be a hoot!!!!
So Sulivan is an "activist" but Barr is not! Disbarment would take criminal acts committed by Sulivan. Trump can very well win since Uncle Joe scudded the pooch when he tied himself to naming a woman and now he is being told to name a "PALIN".
Flynn goes free - Flynn is still free..... The charges will be dropped only if this is decided before January 20 Sullivan get's disbarred - Zero chance of that Comey, McCabe and Strzok among those indicted - Less than zero chance of that President Trump reelected - Not as things stand today Flynn reinstated as President Trump's National Security Advisor - See above Still haven't cleaned up that signature, I see... Would it help if I got a forum friend of yours to confirm the error? Pick one...
We went over that so many times: From this link https://www.congress.gov/116/bills/hres755/BILLS-116hres755enr.pdf (1) President Trump—acting both directly and through his agents within and outside the United States Government—corruptly solicited the Government of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations into— (A) a political opponent, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.; and" (2) President Trump used the powers of the Presidency in a manner that compromised the national security of the United States and undermined the integrity of the United States democratic process. He thus ignored and injured the interests of the Nation. President Trump engaged in this scheme or course of conduct through the following President Trump abused the powers of his high office through the following means: (1) Directing the White House to defy a lawful subpoena by withholding the I made my case!!! production of documents sought therein by the Committees. A) a political opponent, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.; and (B) a discredited theory promoted by Russia alleging that Ukraine—rather than Russia—interfered in the 2016 United States Presidential election." (2) Directing other Executive Branch agencies and offices to defy lawful subpoenas and withhold the production of documents and records from the Committees—in response to which the Department of State, Office of Management and Budget, Department of Energy, and Department of Defense refused to produce a single document or record."
So 84 % of Americans are wrong. There was a time when 90% of the people of the world though that the earth was flat.
