Mueller Files first Charges (MUELLER CONTENT GOES HERE)

[Todd.K]

It's seems pretty clear he felt no legal jeopardy about the content of his talks with the Russians. It reads to me like he was being genuinely helpful. Why? Think about the time it happened. Most reasonable people dismissed the dossier as soon as the details of how ridiculous it was came out. Nobody thought the FBI would run an investigation solely on that dossier. NOBODY. That leaves believing someone in the Trump campaign was actually working for the Russians. So Flynn knows it's not him, and wants to help the FBI track down the traitor.

As we will probably never see the transcript, my best guess is there was a small difference between what he said and how he remembered or retold it. They used other leverage to get him to plead guilty.

Never, ever, ever talk to law enforcement, especially Feds, without a lawyer.

So you think Flynn didn't know that?
I believe the guy went over there under a totally different pretext. Once there the questions started and very likely topics changed several times.
Flynn knew they had tapes of his conversations, he likely didn't believe he was under oath or being interrogated, then the door slammed shut when he likely made a slip of the lip.
I agree, I would never talk to anyone where the penalty for outright lying, or even the slip of a lip could be used to send me to jail. I would never lie under such conditions especially if the people I'm speaking to had tapes of my conversations. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I believe Flynn got, got under the guise of a false pretext.
I don't think he knew what the end game was,what they were looking for and I believe he went there for something completely different that was related to setting up the new administration.

As a function of my job, I have to deal with Feds and FBI occasionally. That’s one of the times where you see me as quiet as a church mouse, even though we’re “on the same team”. I trust a rabid possum more than them. Especially because of this work.

Yep, coffee & jokes? Absolutely. Discussing what I did and when I did it? Nope!

Not even jokes. Might break a regulation or something.

I only hang out with the ones who break regs. The rest of them are WAY too stiff.

Interesting that even CNN covering the dossier in a short summary has to do some pretty blatant mental gymnastics to get the somethings in the Dossier to pan out- and admit that most of the relevant claims are at least unproven and some are just false.

Considering this is from CNN and that this thread was about three pages deep, I think that we can see that the Mueller probe has exceeded its usefulness as a proxy for the Dems to attack Trump. They have the House now, they don't need Mueller anymore.

Wow, might we be able to close this thread soon???

Lawyers in the house, how common is an 800+ page sentencing memo? Is this just another sign that the SC is out of control?
