...when you don't have facts or law on your side, you just make stuff up and shout //
it does not support the Justice Department’s assertion that the continued prosecution of the case against Mr. Flynn, who pleaded guilty to knowingly making material false statements to the FBI, ‘would not serve the interests of justice.’”
This is her second effort to claim the “materiality” argument for her side — but it is also the second time she has done so without explaining how his answers were material, or how the position of DOJ on the issue is wrong. //
DOJ’s position is clearly articulated — FBI internal documents state that the FBI should not have been investigating Gen. Flynn at the time of his interview.
“No further investigative efforts are warranted.” Those words were written by the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane team. In a courtroom that would be called an “Admission”. //
Who was running that investigation? The Crossfire Hurricane team was running it. What did the Crossfire Hurricane team write about the investigation? They wrote as follows:
Following the compilation of the above information , the [CROSSFIRE HURRICANE] team determined that CROSSFIRE RAZOR was no longer a viable candidate as part of the larger CROSSFIRE HURRICANE umbrella case.
Again, that’s not AG Barr, that’s not US Attorney Jensen, that’s not US Attorney Durham – that’s the “Crossfire Hurricane Team” after it spent 5 months investigating General Flynn as part of that investigation. //
Finally, we get to the “Crown Jewel” of obfuscation and misdirection – the completely bogus “Flynn was possibly compromised by his lies” nonsensical claptrap.
How exactly can Gen. Flynn be compromised when both the U.S. and the Russians knew every word said by Gen. Flynn in the conversations? How could Russia “compromise” Gen. Flynn by threatening to reveal information the US government already knew? //
That’s three times she has claimed the interview answers were “material”, but also three times she has failed to explain why and how that was the case. Three strikes and she’s OUT!!!
The DOJ motion goes into great detail as to why they were not material. Is it too much to ask that the folks clutching their pearls over the dismissal to offer up an explanation for why DOJ’s view is wrong??
