Gen. Flynn sentencing reccomendation complete - no jail time

a reply to: Sillyolme

Mueller had until midnight tonight enter this Flynn sentencing recommendation. From the nothing-burger feel of it, he could have filed this a week or two ago.

New Analysis: General Flynn admitted to LYING, in order to protect VP Mike Pence, after Pence's statement on CBS's Face The Nation.

Do you see why their are reports of the second FBI agent, Joe Pientka, saying that he didn’t believe Flynn lied to them in the interview. Likely because Flynn didn’t…. but the McCabe crew jumped on the opportunity to frame a lose/lose.

Either Flynn accepts a version of the 302 report where he lied; or Flynn has to take the position that Vice President Mike Pence lied to the nation in the CBS Face The Nation interview.

See how that went down?

That’s also the likely reason why FBI Agent Joe Pietka has been kept quiet.

FUBAR !! All of it.

Could be thebinvestigation huber is conducting, possibly involving criminal activity by the FBI investigators, such as changing 302's.

Or possible crimes done by other trump people not involving russia.

I am not sure though what flynn would have been able to help with involving crimes not involving russia and trumps team.

Why is the link to "first hand" knowledge source broken....?

Not saying you are mistaken or BS'ing, just trying to track down the info.

No clue why they posted a busted link, but here is another link to the sentencing memo which is what CNBC was supposed to link to:

Most of the juicy bits are redacted but on page 3 of the supplemental addendum to the sentencing memo you can find this statement:

The defendant assisted the SCO's investigation on a range of issues, including interactions between individuals in the Presidential Transition Team and Russia,

Then just a little bit further down you have this passage:

The defendant provided firsthand information about the content and context of interactions between the transition team and Russian government officials

As is the job of a member on the transition team. You know, to reach out to other nations.

This is getting old and pathetic.

For normal transition teams yes. If the Trump campaign was in contact with Russia while they were actively attempting to affect the 2016 election and then continued those contacts through the transition that is another case entirely.

i don't have a problem with that.

What interviewing a democrat transition team if they talk with a foreign country?

So would you prefer that incoming administrations have not talks with any country until their first day in office?

Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

The nature of what was discussed during the transition is very important. If they were just setting up contacts for the new administration then sure, that isn't illegal. However, if they had contacts during the campaign and were continuing those contacts during the transition that is a problem.

There is a great deal of redacted information in these documents that probably shed light on that wrongdoing. However, we just don't know now. We have to wait a little longer.

Here's one. Complete with the Sentencing Document.
www.cnbc.com...

I wonder how the liberal media will SPIN this? Anti-America terrorist CNN has been saying all day that the "sentencing document" will show if Trump colluded with Russia!

No need to spin it. If Mueller recommended no jail time that tells me that Flynn provided useful information to the investigation. That means bad news for Trump.

Flynn came into his appointment with his primary objective to fully audit the Intelligence agencies.

Which has not been done since the 70's.

He had the background to do it... he was highly critical of them because of the numerous mistakes and coverups they had made when he was serving as the Director of the DIA.

First thing that happened to him was Mueller.

Feel free to google how bad Mueller actually is.

This may be just Mueller trying to escape his own eventual prosecution.

Times are changing, but good to see that they kept you till 2020.

What? The first thing that happened to him was Mueller? Seriously?

No, the first thing that happened to Flynn is that he was fired after he was caught lying. The Mueller investigation wasn't even started when he was fired.

I see. Looks like a busted link back to the filing and addendum.

So there is in fact a criminal case..against someone.

Yep, keep telling yourself that. It's a nothing burger to find out that Flynn was a cooperating witness in not only the Russia collusion investigation but also 2 other criminal investigations. That means that while Mueller was investigating Trump and Russia he stumbled upon two other separate possible criminal actions and has spun up investigations to pursue those.

So, the sitting president of the USA is now under investigation for not just one possible criminal action, but 3. Yep, nothing burger.

actually, there's no indication of 3 investigations into trump. .you're just making crap up now.

Flynn, like Manafort and Corsi were all charged by Mueller over minor blemishes between 2 statements.
They weren't lies or trying to cover up, they were brain farts and mistakes - Mueller jumped on these and threatened them with prison time if they didnt rat on Trump.

2yrs and how many millions wasted? congratulations, you just let your star ''criminal'' walk because there's not a damn thing found about Russia and Collusion.

Have you ever wondered how Mueller, Comey, Mccabe, Clinton, Strzok, Lynch and all the others are linked?
Ever wondered why Trumps under investigation for the actual things the DNC, Clintons, DOJ and FBI Did?

or do you like to just ignore those tid bits because they dont fit your ridiculous world?

Bill Priestap FBI resigns. He was assistant director of counterintelligence.

Priestap was involved in the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether Russians colluded with the Trump campaign, and he was also part of the bureau's investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of State.

When Priestap leaves the FBI, there will be no high-ranking officials who were involved in both investigations left at the bureau, according to the Journal. thehill.com...

Well well what a coincidence.

a reply to: burntheships

Wow.

Nice find, nothing to see here however.

The FBI said in a statement to the newspaper that Priestap “became eligible to retire and has chosen to do so after 20 years of service."

All. Above. Board.

ETA: Interesting wiki page too: en.wikipedia.org...

Anyone else think he has nothing? Thus no jail time?

Hell even selling lemonade without a permit gives you a misdemeanor, but HEY... just saying!

If he had nothing he would be getting jail time. They dont go easy on people because they didnt give up the goods.

How does immunity relate to that position?

a reply to: Xcathdra
The criminal investigation could be one running under Huber, for all we know.
The information that he provided to Mueller on his investigation could have cleared Trump for all we know.

a reply to: BlackJackal

President Trumps TRANSITION TEAM.

Got that?
Now tell me about that election collusion again?

Got anything else to spin?
It's been 2 years and you are still reaching, but you are not going to shift the utter humiliation of your collusion fantasies by substituting completely unrelated points to your original fantasy. You fantasists are a complete joke, though rather disgusting too in the way you cheered on the demise of a great man like General Flynn.

You forget that Bill Priestap's name came up in the Strzok and Page text messages. McCabe and Strzok were ready to retire too and they almost did, until they didn't.

It needs to be stated again that they went light on Flynn because he used to be a GENERAL who served our country well. The documents even stated that he was considered differently for that reason.
