Flynn's Attorney (Sidney Powell) Speaks Out About Obama's Role in Effort to Entrap Former National Security Adviser
Townhall ^ | 5/11/20 | Leah Barkoukis

Michael Flynn’s attorney, Sidney Powell, spoke in no uncertain terms Sunday in an interview with Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo about former President Obama’s role in the effort to entrap the former national security adviser.

**SNIP**

Powell explained the FBI agents made it appear to Flynn that the meeting was informal, giving him no impression that his responses could later be used against him.

“These agents specifically schemed and planned with each other how to not tip him off that he was even the person being investigated,” she said. “In fact, according to Comey's testimony that's attached to the exhibits they filed in the motion to dismiss, they just simply said, we'd like to send a couple agents by to talk to you.

"And, of course, General Flynn said sure. And he saw them as allies. They encouraged him to stay that way,” she continued. “They deliberately did not tell him about 1001 [the statute that makes it a federal felony to lie to agents] because they didn't want to trigger the slightest suspicion in his mind that he was being investigated or should be concerned about anything.”

**SNIP**

“Then Peter Strzok is watching a CNN report on that and texts about he and Priestap sitting there watching it and using it as a pretext to go interview some people,” Powell said. “So the whole thing was orchestrated and set up within the FBI, Clapper, Brennan, and in the Oval Office meeting that day with President Obama.”

Hewitt is right about the FakeNewsMSM virtually ignoring the Schiff transcripts and the Flynn story, but not sure he is right about the debates!

Trump is now labeling it as Obamagate. It is a public charge that Obama was directly involved. Let the chips fall where they may now!

My son was born in the United Kingdom of USA citizens. He is a dual national quite legally with both United Kingdom and American Citizenship.

He can legally hold any office in the United States with the exception of President or Vice President.

Just curious, you’ve been here a long time and are a widely experienced freeper.
Why is there so much resistance to upholding the Constitution here on FR?
