    Default Judge orders Mueller to turn over interview documents on Flynn

    Now MUELLER'S under the microscope: Judge sentencing ex-National Security Advisor Michael Flynn orders special counsel to hand over all interview documents after General claimed FBI pressured him NOT to take a lawyer

    Michael Flynn is a former National Security Adviser to President Donald Trump
    Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations with Russia's then-ambassador to the United States during the presidential transition
    His lawyers allege FBI bosses pressured him into seeking no counsel before or during the January 2017 interview which ultimately led to his guilty plea
    The judge responsible for his sentencing has demanded both sides turn over documents that might corroborate their accounts
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-pressure.html

    lynn alleged in a court filling on Tuesday that the FBI pushed him toward having no lawyer present for his January 2017 interview. Flynn he later admitted lying to federal authorities investigating possible Russian interference in the 2016 election during the conversation.

    Flynn's attorneys point the finger at then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe - claiming he pushed Flynn not to have an attorney present for the questioning.

    They even go as far as to say the FBI threatened to take the matter to the Justice Department if Flynn were to seek counsel before sitting down with its agents.

    '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 in a memorandum reported by Fox News.

    '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.'

    ollowing the allegations, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan yesterday ordered that both the Mueller investigation and the Flynn team turn over all documents relating to the fateful interview, including all contemporaneous notes, before 3pm Friday.

    The FBI was not obliged to make clear to Flynn that he had the right of attorney, because he was not in custody.

    However, Sullivan will be trying to determine whether or not agents used coercion to obstruct Flynn's constitutional right.

    Theoretically, if provided with convincing evidence that agents acted coercively, Sullivan could throw out the charges against Flynn on those grounds. However, he has no indicated that he plans to do so, according to Fox News.

    Trump's former National Security Adviser is due to be sentenced on Tuesday, but Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office, last week said that Flynn's cooperation - including 19 meetings with investigators - was so extensive that he was entitled to avoid prison when he is sentenced next week.

    Flynn's lawyers for also asked a judge Tuesday to spare him prison, saying he had devoted his career to his country and taken responsibility for an 'uncharacteristic error in judgment.'

    Is this the same Michael Flynn who said he didn't know it was a crime to lie to the FBI? The man has some serious issues.

    Excuse me? 1--DID HE ASK, 'DO I NEED A LAWER'? 2--An ARMY GENERAL DOESN'T KNOW HE SHOULDN'T LIE TO THE FBI? 3--A NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR IN THE WH DOESN'T KNOW HE SHOULDN'T LIE TO THE FBI?

    Give us ALL a big fat fucking break!

    PS If an FBI agent came to my door right do do the routine security checks on their own and asked me if my neighbor, an FBI agent, ever used racist language, I'd have to answer yes. Because I have one and he did before his RETIREMENT. (And I wouldn't even have been under oath)

    McCabe specifically told him he did not need a lawyer.
    But they were there for a perjury trap -they didn't tell him he was already recorded by the NSA and the FBI had the transcript

    Back when he was first running, a couple of 'common sense' reporters stated that all the other candidates needed for OPPO research was the NY TIMES. And yet one of them--all bets are on TED CRUZ--initiated and paid for the STEELE DOSSIER.

    Let me reiterate!! What Army general or a NSA doesn't know not to lie to the FBI? With or without 'counsel' in the room, out of the room on the telephone, skyped... Understand now? Or is your EXCUSE, well, they didn't tell him, so the traitor should be let off!

    Assuming for a minute that McCabe actually told Flynn that he "did not need a lawyer"...

    ...so what?

    He would have been telling Flynn THE TRUTH.

    In fact, if McCabe had told Flynn that he "DID NEED a lawyer"...

    ...he would have been lying.

    So what is your point?

    Flynn is a General. He knows exactly what his rights are. And he is honor bound to be honest with government officials. The old party (Republican not Trump) of morals and ethics would have understood this.

    I suspect the dickheads who have taken over that party know it also.

    But the people pulling their strings ORDER them to throw shit at the wall at every opportunity...because some will stick. That is what they are doing with thread like this...throwing shit up against the wall to see how much sticks.

    Joseph Goebbels did this kind of thing all the time.
