We don’t actually know whether Flynn really lied to the FBI. The Washington Post says he did, but Mueller’s successor as FBI director, James Comey, says he thinks he didn’t. All we can be sure of is that Flynn agreed to say he lied after Mueller’s attack dogs started threatening him and his son with years in prison over far-fetched nonsense that would never fly without the “resistance” cheering them on and providing political cover.
First, they trumped up Flynn’s attempt to establish a rapport with the Russian ambassador before he took over as national security advisor into a violation of the Logan Act, an almost certainly unconstitutional law that has never yielded a conviction despite being on the books since 1799. Then, they said the paperwork filed for his work with the Turkish government was a violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, an extraordinarily broad statute famous in Washington for its rare and selective enforcement.
Because the sentencing memo doesn’t actually contain anything damaging against President Trump, the media are focusing on the “criminal investigation” the memo mentions Flynn has cooperated with, even though that section of the memo is completely redacted.
Mueller’s Flynn Sentencing Memo Is Another Dud for the Resistance
