Records raise new questions about FBI’s Michael Flynn investigation
Fox News ^ | 09 September 2019 | Catherine Herridge

Then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe told the White House in early February 2017 that the bureau was not considering the national security adviser at the time, Michael Flynn, for a potential Logan Act prosecution over conversations with the Russian ambassador before Donald Trump was sworn in as president, government records reviewed by Fox News indicate.

McCabe was referring to the rarely prosecuted 200-year-old statute that bars American citizens from engaging with a foreign government without authorization from the current U.S. government.

The records also indicate that Flynn reported, on two separate occasions, in the days leading up to his White House firing that FBI agents told him the bureau investigation was over or being closed out.

Both incidents raise questions over the underlying offense that formed the basis for the initial FBI and DOJ investigation into Flynn.

The retired general was later fired by the White House for misleading the vice president about communications with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador, during the transition before Trump was sworn in.

Dismissal, no pardon needed.

Get it done quickly and Flynn can replace Bolton as a big fyou to the establishment.

Trump should appoint Flynn head of CIA or as NDI immediately when his case is dismissed

Let him settle some scores in the deep state.

Oh yeah, the Logan act. Like when in September of 2008, Obama went to Iraq and told them not to sign a status of forces agreement with Bush because he was going to be elected in about 6 weeks.

Wasn’t the DOJ on the verge of deciding if they were going to prosecute Andrew McCabe? It could happen any minute, that sort of BS.

And why should I give the Government a Guilty Vote when sitting on a trial as a Juror?

Should anyone ever believe anything they say, ever?
