Trump asks Comey for leniency on Flynn.

Comey says no, gets fired.

Mueller takes over the investigation, gives leniency to Flynn.

So.Fucking.Awesome!
 
Some sort of link might be helpful here.

Awesome for Trump.

Mueller decisively proved that Trump firing Comey was not obstruction.

That’s all.
 
He also provided a clear path for Trump to fire him and his whole team of crooked lawyers.

Wrong.

Clearly wrong since he's still pursuing the obstruction angle.

If Trump fires him via his illegal appointment to the office of Attorney General, then it will all go to court. Should the Trump court illegally rule in his favor, the investigation will switch to either a Senate or a House investigation with Mueller as their special counsel. Then there's the state courts. Anyway you look at it, Trump is fucked.
 
Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I., Pence contacted Jesus to discuss the early rapture proposal, the source said.

The source characterized Pence’s request to be raptured up as “urgent” but did not indicate whether the Vice-President asked Jesus to rapture up any other senior Administration officials.

“Some of these people will have to be left behind, for obvious reasons,” the source said. “Jared, for example.”

After the news of Pence’s conversation with Jesus leaked to the press, the Vice-President released an official statement, intended to tamp down speculation about his rapture request.

:lol:
 
Okay, that's the second thread title where you typed "spills his guys" or "spilling his guys".

Is SlyPokerDog really Trump, or are the lefty media's slams of Trump's mis-spelled tweets FAKE NEWS? :dunno:

Or is SPD talking about some perverse sexual act that Mueller is teaching his coerced perjurers?

Seems disgraced and fired and under investigation Andrew McCabe pressured Flynn to waive his right to have a lawyer present during interrogation. Now the judge demands to see Mueller's interview notes before he passes sentence on Flynn.

OOPS! :bgrin:

Flynn says FBI pushed him not to have lawyer present during interview

By Gregg Re | Fox News
Michael Flynn's counsel requesting community service in lieu of jail time.

In a lengthy court filing Tuesday, attorneys for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn alleged that then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe pushed Flynn not to have an attorney present during the questioning that ultimately led to his guilty plea on a single charge of lying to federal authorities.

The document outlines, with striking new details, the rapid sequence of events that led to Flynn's sudden fall from the Trump administration. The filing also seemingly demonstrates that the FBI took a significantly more aggressive tack in handling the Flynn interview than it did during other similar matters, including the agency's sit-downs with Hillary Clinton and ex-Trump adviser George Papadopoulos.

While Flynn is among several Trump associates to have been charged with making false statements as part of the Russia probe, no one interviewed during the FBI’s Clinton email investigation was hit with false statement charges – though investigators believed some witnesses were untruthful.

According to Flynn's legal team, FBI agents in his case deliberately did not instruct Flynn that any false statements he made could constitute a crime, and decided not to "confront" him directly about anything he said that contradicted their knowledge of his wiretapped communications with former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. (The FBI would not have been legally required to warn Flynn of his Miranda rights in order to use his statements against him in court, as long as the conversation was ruled voluntary, and Flynn was not effectively in custody at the time of the questioning.)

If “Flynn said he did not remember something they knew he said, they would use the exact words Flynn used, . . . to try to refresh his recollection," FBI agents wrote in a so-called "302" witness interview report cited by the filing. "If Flynn still would not confirm what he said, . . . they would not confront him or talk him through it.”

McCabe -- who was fired earlier this year for making unauthorized media leaks and violating FBI policy -- wrote in a memorandum that shortly after noon on Jan. 24, 2017, he called Flynn on his secure line at the White House, and the two briefly discussed an unrelated FBI training session at the White House. Quickly, the conversation turned to a potential interview, according to an account provided by McCabe that was also cited in the Tuesday filing.

McCabe said that he told Flynn he “felt that we needed to have two of our agents sit down” to discuss his contacts with Russian officials.

“I explained that I thought the quickest way to get this done was to have a conversation between [Flynn] and the agents only," McCabe wrote. "I further stated that if LTG Flynn wished to include anyone else in the meeting, like the White House Counsel for instance, that I would need to involve the Department of Justice. [General Flynn] stated that this would not be necessary and agreed to meet with the agents without any additional participants."

Explaining why Flynn was not warned about the possible consequences of making false statements, one of the agents wrote in the 302 that FBI brass had "decided the agents would not warn Flynn that it was a crime to lie during an FBI interview because they wanted Flynn to be relaxed, and they were concerned that giving the warnings might adversely affect the rapport."

The tactics were apparently in sharp contrast to the FBI's approach to interviewing former Trump aide George Papadopoulos, who also pleaded guilty to making false statements and was recently released from prison. In a court filing last year, Special Counsel Mueller's team took pains to note that FBI agents who interviewed Papadopoulos on January 27, 2017 -- just days after the Flynn interview -- had advised Papadopoulos that "lying to them 'is a federal offense'" and that he could get "in trouble" if he did not tell the truth.

The revelations in the court filing, if accurate, would also sharply differ from the FBI's handling of its interview with then-presidential candidate Clinton in 2016, during the height of the presidential campaign. Clinton brought a total of nine lawyers to her interview -- a number that fired FBI Director James Comey said was "unusual ... but not unprecedented" in House testimony in September.

A scathing report released earlier this year by the Department of Justice's Inspector General (IG) found that the FBI had taken actions "inconsistent with typical investigative strategy" by allowing former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills and ex-campaign staffer Heather Samuelson to sit in on the Clinton interview -- even though "they had also both served as lawyers for Clinton after they left the State Department."

In fact, the IG wrote, FBI officials fretted about how many FBI representatives should be at the interview, for fear of prejudicing Clinton against the agency if, as expected, she went on to become president.

Now you trust Flynn?
 
Oh no. Antifa got a warning from @SlyPokerDog through his deep state connections to Trigger.

I also have it on good authority that Trigger is a covert operator for the Clinton foundation and was the once that caused the catastrophe when Real Americans lead by Custer were defeated by liberals in Little Bighorn.

(That's sarcasm for our slower members).
 
"Important point: Mueller said Flynn has cooperated fully, and it’s ongoing. The judge didn’t dispute this. He basically said to Flynn, you’re so guilty, if you want to maybe avoid prison, you have to come back later when you can show me more tangible results of your cooperation."
