We need to rethink how this crime of "lying to federal investigators" works, I'm pretty sure it was not intended to be some sort "pass this memory test or go to jail" sort of situation.

Also the fact Strzok and the other FBI agent had the phone conversation transcript of the Flynn and Russian Ambassador conversation while Flynn was vacationing in the Dominican Republic the FBI compared interview answers with the transcript. In Strzok and the other FBI agent's estimation shortly after the interview Flynn was not deceptive based on the 302 filed shortly after the interview.

But 7 months later after consulting with Andrew McCabe who apparently had a lot of animus with Flynn revised the 302 in August of 2017 to edit the account of Flynn's interview from not lying to lying.

According to Dershowitz, this was a perjury trap and an egregious misuse of FBI resources.

He stated that these FBI interviews are supposed to be to obtain new information by asking questions on things they don’t yet know.

Instead, the FBI brought information it already new and questioned Flynn on existing information.

That he says is the definition of a perjury trap and a misuse of FBI resources. And remember - they were sent by Comey.
