So I am trying to sort this out, maybe some of you can help me.
Flynn has a phone call with the Russian ambassador, Mr. Kislyak.
The call was intercepted, there was a meeting in which the FBI thought that nothing was concerning, yet still decided to pursue the Flynn meeting, we now know that the intent of the FBI was questionable.
The internal FBI notes suggested that Flynn was cooperative, yet they claimed that Flynn has lied. To which Flynn has pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI.
Due to a string of events, Flynn gets a new representation and they request the government’s documents that were used as material to charge Flynn.
Turns out that the documents (302) was never presented, it was altered, this together with some text messages that indicate that the FBI agents almost had to redo the 302 so that it showed what they wanted it to shot.
After requesting more documents, the government produces more material that shows that the FBI actually didn’t have any reason to interview Flynn, that they were satisfied with his responses and there really was never any concern with anything that he did.
so, this is what seems confusing.
a. Flynn was “officially” accused of discussing sanctions with the Russians, apparently, that would not be OK. He denied it at the time, and was labeled a liar due to the fact that the supposedly the FBI caught him lying.
b. Now that we know that Flynn, according to the FBI agent’s own admission did nothing wrong, what was the conversation about?
c. What was the lie the FBI was accusing Flynn of?
d. If Flynn who we now know did nothing wrong to deserve any of this, yet still admitted to something he did not do. What does this mean for the little man like me and you?
What am I missing here?
