Was General Flynn read his Miranda Rights when he was “interviewed” by the FBI?
I have been wondering about that issue. I remember the cop shows of the 60/70s (e.g., Adam 12) where Miranda Rights were essential. Why was Flynn not protected by Miranda?
He wasn't arrested so there was no reason to.
Absolutely not! In fact, quite the opposite. They misled him into thinking this was a friendly chat and concealed the interview was part of a criminal investigation. Oh, and they deliberately failed to notify White House Counsel to make sure he wouldn't have a lawyer in the room.
But, according to Harvard Law Larry all that deception and unethical conduct is A-OK if it gets the prosecutor a guilty verdict!
