Simple solution. Don't lie and don't have a problem.


Wasn't Strozk the person who did the interview? So we are to believe anything he says?

Didn't Strozk get a tour of the WH? Does that sound like an "interrogation" to you? He wasn't under oath.

No shite.

The FBI initially said Flynn was "not being deceptive".

He is being charged with lying because there is a dispute about memory in the revised 302 7 months after the initial 302. Flynn is pleading guilty to saying that the FBI is correct in saying that he lied about his memory so Mueller will stop fricking with him.

You don't have to be "under oath" to be charged with Lying to the FBI

So again don't talk to the FBI without an attorney present

you are missing the key point, Flynn is innocent, and he pleaded guilty in order to take down the deep state by outing their lies while in prison and on parole.

So you are saying that Judge Sullivan did not try to get Flynn to rescind his plea?

If he didn't and Flynn was adamant about sticking to his plea Sullivan would have never extended the sentencing another 90 days and would have sentenced him right there. Sullivan was pissed that Flynn was not fighting back and does not want Flynn to plead guilty to a crime he did not commit so he tried to scare him into rescinding his plea by threatening Flynn with jail time, something the Mueller team was not recommending. In fact, Sullivan offered Flynn a second legal and independent opinion from the court, but Flynn refused.

Mueller's case sucks and he would lose in a trial with a quickness. Now the FARA stuff and the other stuff associated with Flynn's son is a different story.

Because Flynn's lawyers whined about him being treated unfairly, the judge asked him if he was. At no point did he come close to implying
quote:

Even Judge Sullivan thinks Flynn did not lie

And he never encouraged him to rescind his plea

He thought the defense attorney's tactics were chicken shite and called them out on it

He extended the sentencing because of the Flynn team's bullshite

Flynn will now give up more, as if he wasn't more than willing already

How is what untrue? The fact that Kennedy felt the country was stronger by stating his opinion on a single issue, and by doing so, stand against Trumps opinion?
That, or nah?

Yes. The reason is that the witch hunt bankrupted him and "Honest Bob" would have ruined him and his family more.

or he just stated the Truth?
There is NO possibility that Flynn was not "tricked".
Flynn was absolutely "tricked".
That was the STATED INTENT by Comey, McCabe and Strzok.
It worked.

Denying Flynn was tricked is beyond stupid.
Kennedy's statement is beyond stupid.

None of that addresses whether Flynn “told a bald-faced lie” or lies.
He may have.

The problem I have coming definitively to that conclusion is I've not seen details of Flynn's initial statements. I have seen Strzok's initial assessment that Flynn did not seem to be lying though.

Keeping in mind Strzok's intent was to catch Flynn, as well as Strzok's in-depth knowledge of the Flynn-Kislyak conversations, it would seem his contemporary observations about Flynn's truthfulness should at least be of significant interest.

Sullivan's courtroom performance oddly called those observations to question. So one would assume there is a lot of redacted, nonpublic information leading to the "bald-faced lie" conclusion.

None of that should forgive Comey's actions.
They were odious.

No. You're confusing this with Comey's FBI knowing Hillary was innocent before she was interviewed.
