" Lawyers for Michael T. Flynn, President Trump’s first national security adviser, asked a federal judge late Tuesday to spare him prison time for misleading investigators, and they suggested that the F.B.I. agents who interviewed him last year at the White House had tricked him into lying......."

Unbelievable-- yet so true to form. Flapping lips of the failed Leftist propaganda rag for the demonrat party-- the NY Slimes.
The FBI and the DOJ have become sad, fraudulent corrupt organs of special interest.
These were places where good people once worked. No more.
Both entire departments should be dismantled.
Trump should pardon Flynn it’s the right thing to do.
Trump should announce he is pardoning everyone who committed NO CRIMES except for the ones Mueller manufactured in the course of his witch hunt.
If there was no crime before the Mueller investigation, and the only ‘crime’ happened because of the Mueller investigation, then we spent 20 million for Mueller to CREATE crimes.
One should add (and agree with you) to this... the FACT that the “crimes” were perjury traps or process CREATED by mueller— that mueller and his ENTIRE team committed a crime— as did rosenweasel. If Wray went along with it— him too. Subornation of perjury can be done by prosecutors, who usually expect the judges to cover for their “methods”.
Excellent post, btw!
Isn’t Mueller’s special counsel illegal because congress didn’t renew the act?.
Wouldn’t that make all his work illegal and all for nil?.
True that Congress did not renew the Special Prosecutor statute (done by a democrat congress btw, because THEY were becoming targeted and convicted by the statute they created)— but Mueller is not a special prosecutor (like Ken Starr was). The term of use by rosenswine in “appointing” (as acting Atty General and head of the Dept. of Justice) a “Special Counsel”.
The “Special Counsel” law requires that the description of a crime be the basis of the action of appointing a “counsel”. Rosenswine got around (or tried to) this requirement by “extending” an existing Counter-Intelligence investigation— into the appointment of Mueller as a Special Counsel. The problem is— the “crime” that was the basis for the Counter Intel investigation... was completely fabricated by the false FISA warrants (all gobbledygook from rosenswine on the “warrant” as opposed to the ‘crime” which was nonexistent).
You ARE correct— as the President has pointed out repeatedly on twitter— there was NO crime ever enumerated, as required by DOJ regs (and, in fact the Courts as well) to even empower the “acting AG” to appoint a Special Counsel. It is now beyond argument that Rosenstein, Mueller and Comey were in this for YEARS together, using their power illegally, and justifying themselves, to themselves-
Mueller goes all the way back to before he was FBI director and was allowing, while US Atty in Boston, Irish mobster Whitey Bulgur to commit mass murders of Italian Mafia, as long as he was Mueller’s “confidential informant”. Which was all OK with the Boston Irish “cabal” the Kennedys had created, statewide decades before. An interesting illegal use of the FedGov for the benefit of a marginally “legal” family dynasty of bootleggers. What a story- and all true.
If we had rule of law, it would. We do not have rule of law - not in DC.
That has actually worked to his advantage: Rosenstein could give him carte blanche.
We do not have rule of law - not in DC.
Indeed the left thinks law is for the other people.
Thanks for the information sure looks like Rosenstein, Mueller and Comey should be the ones behind bars hope it happens soon.
