Honest Bob is wasting taxpayer money with procedural foolishness.

The two convictions are specifically about lies, to the FBI, about contacts with Russians.

False. That's now what the guilty pleas were about. That's the way the media cleverly and deceitfully spins it, but it's not what actually happened. The media makes it sound as if Flynn was lying about contacting Russians. He never lied about that - he openly admits he talked to Kislyak.

The FBI interviewed Michael Flynn under false pretenses. They told him it was a routine meeting about some sort of FBI policy (he was the incoming NSA, remember). They got him in the room with no attorney and grilled him about his call with Kislyak (a total legal call, by their own admission). Flynn didn't recall word for word exactly what he said to Kislyak.

After the interview, the two agents went back to the FBI to brief their superiors. One of the agents told his superiors that Flynn's story checks out and he didn't notice anything really deceitful about it. However, the other agent said "Nope, he lied." Guess who that agent was? Yep, Peter "insurance policy" Strzok. Strzok discovered a few minor inconsistencies in the testimony.

If I asked you to recall verbatim what you talked about with your boyfriend on the phone last week, you couldn't tell me. You might have a general idea, but you couldn't tell me specifics if I carefully crafted by questioning to catch you in a lie. For instance, if I said what time did he call you? And you said "2 o'clock." Later I check the phone records and discover it was really 3 o'clock. Baw, I got you now. You're going down! But that is exactly what happened to Flynn.

The whole thing is a witch hunt. They are prosecuting a career military man (a general) for not recalling the exact language of a perfectly legal phone call. This is what Bob Mueller is wasting our tax dollars doing.
