    There needs to be a major purge at the FBI before people will respect them as the top Law Enforcement Agency in the country again. In the past if the FBI came to my door and wanted to talk to me, I would have put on some coffee and sat down and talked. After seeing what they did to Flynn not from some rogue agents way down on the food chain, but from the highest levels of the agency, I would ask for a warrant. If they didn't have one, they would have the door slammed in their faces and I'd call my lawyer.

    It's high time for the Attorney General to clean house at the FBI. They are supposed to be above partisanship and remain neutral. That's certainly not the FBI Flynn saw. C'mon Bill Barr, root out the corruption in the FBI and return them to the top Law Enforcement Agency in the country.

    Flynn's major problem is that he claimed that he lied to the FBI. He did it as a confession. That is what got him incarcerated. Was it political? Of course. But politics isn't illegal. Lying to the FBI is illegal.

    I would like to see him exonerated simply because I don't approve of political imprisonment. I would prefer to leave that to places like Cuba and North Korea.

    I would want a warrant.

    I would say "hello I'd like A lawyer"

    And a lawyer for my lawyer.

    I wouldn't confirm or deny my name without a lawyer.

    FBI has zero credibility.

    Of course he did. He was appointed by Bill Clinton, and has already attempted to throw out a President Trump Illegal Immigrants Asylum order. Further, he did not have the facts that were revealed recently as to the FBI illegal actions.

    Yeah, I'm positive Chris Wray looked at those 4 pages of pre-interview notes and said 'OK.......and?? This is what we do, people..."

    Flynn certainly should have had a lawyer in the room... And for that failure, he's a freaking idiot...

    P.S. When you do you think Wray was appointed??

    A - Under Clinton
    B - Under Obama
    C - Under Trump

    We need more transparency into just how corrupt the Obama DOJ was.

    The Obama DOJ that interviewed Flynn? The Obama DOJ that took his guilty plea?

    First, the DOJ prides itself on being apolitical.

    Second, those things happened under Dirty Donny, not under Obama.

    Sorry the investigation began under Obama, the agents involved where Obama loyalist and obvious not apolitical. Obama weaponized the DOJ against political rivals

    Wrong. The apolitical DOJ investigated legitimate concerns about people associated with Trump. He and those around him don't get a free pass just because he is in politics.

    The only person trying to weaponize the DOJ is Bonespurs himself. He is turning a big part of the population against an important but imperfect institution.

    Haha that’s laughable....from Gov McDonald, to the IRS targeting, that’s all obama did.

    people aren’t against the current DOJ people were against the abuses of the Obama era....from FISA abuse to going after war heroes....there was no end to the Obama admins abuse

    He was the NSA Director for god sake, why would he need a lawyer for a normal conversation with the FBI? Hell he was even told the meeting wasn't a meeting where he needed a lawyer by Peter textalot, the f'ing NSA Director that had full security clearance from OBAMA. Why was the FBI listening in on the NSA director's calls, where did that authority come from. This is dirty dirty and to top it off you had the agent that did the interview saying he didn't lie close the Flynn case yet Mueller says let's blackmail him by using his family. This is as ugly as it gets for a few in the FBI and Mueller. If this goes unpunished you just gave a greenlight to political prosecutions at the highest levels of government in AMERICA of all places, not that scary Russia but America. I can't believe any American would actually be ok with this but some are so short sided they can't understand the same could happen to them. Biden is learning that lesson now....

    2. He wasn't the listening target
    3. Debunked bullshit
    4. Only exceeded by lying about directing foreign policy before in office...

    Yawn ...

    You guys have been promising for years that heads will roll within the DOJ / FBI. And still there is nothing. You know why? Because they largely went by the book. As in any organization this size, some mistakes were made but they are minor and don't really move the needle.

    You guys are pissed because there is a stench of corruption and abuse of office around Dirty Donny, and you need some way to try to cover up that stench. And the despicable way you do it is to attack hard-working Americans who did nothing other than their jobs.

    Yeap your smart and that 3 star General with the highest security clearance in multiple administrations is a dumbass.
    lol he was the NSA director, so do you think everyone's calls should be listened in on? That include Nancy and Schiff if they're talking to a Russian?
    Yea debunked written and filed statements, your gullible as hell.
    Tell us again, what was the lie, we'll wait.

    There is entirely too much publicly disclosed evidence that frankly refutes the entirety of what you have written. Would you, for example, believe that say a Trump DOJ should be employed in this way against say Biden? If you believe that the DOJ is thusly pristine, it would make you're complaining about it pretty hard given what you've written here.

    If there were allegations, concerns or evidence about Biden that were as real and legitimate as those against Trump, I would have no problem with the DOJ investigating.

    I think you are wrong to refer to it as "Trump's DOJ" or "Obama's DOJ". The DOJ prides itself on being apolitical. Of course the people inside have all kinds of different views and political persuasions, but their role - which I think they accomplish pretty well - is to act in an apolitical manner.

    1. Not in general, just in this matter
    2. If Nancy or Schiff speak to the Russian Ambassador or various other high ranking Russians in the USA, their calls will be monitored. I'm sure they know that now, if they didn't before
    3. The lie was that he didn't request the Russians not to respond to Obama's sanctions... If you don't know that, you really shouldn't be in this thread...

    SNIP
    It says Flynn falsely claimed that he had not asked Kislyak on Dec. 29 "to refrain from escalating the situation in response to sanctions that the U.S. had imposed against Russia," and that he didn't recall Kislyak telling him Russia had decided to moderate its response as a result of his request.

    Real is in the eye of the investigator as we've found. I guarantee a dirty cop could find a real reason to be concerned with past dealings in China and Ukraine since by the grace of God Hunter got stupid rich after daddy got involved in those countries, hell in good ole Corona China, hunter got a 1.4 billion dollar investment after riding with daddy over there on Air Force 1. Biden's only hope is that Trump's FBI has more morals and a competent leader obviously.

    I believe, as we have seen that there are quite a number of folks in the DOJ who are political, and used their privilege and offices to the detriment of the nation. That is indisputable. The DOJ are basically a bunch of thugs who use their office to attack their political opponents when it suits them. Folks, like you, who defend this repugnant behavior by looking the other way simply enable more bad behavior and subsequent criminality. By suggesting that you'd be fine with this, even if it is used against Biden seems to underline your support for this behavior.

    Got it so you think every meeting involving the highest level officials should now have lawyers, I'm sure that sounds smart but it's actually incompetent. This was a setup, you know it and America knows it. Hell the dumbass Peter textalot even wrote us a memo telling us lol.

    You do realize this was during the first week AFTER Trump was in office right?

    So tell us ole EGO, what did Flynn actually say on the call? You got a quote or you relying on Peter Textalot that we now know doctored the interview memo said?
