Documents produced by Mueller don't really support his case against Flynn

FBI Docs Reveal: “Flynn Was Not Lying or Did Not Think He Was Lying"

The July 2017 report, however, was the interview with Strzok. It described his interview with Flynn but was not the original Flynn interview.

The apparent discrepancies in with the 302s documents of the interview are being questioned by may former senior FBI officials, who state that there are stringent policies in place to ensure that the documents are guarded against tampering.

On Thursday, FBI Supervisory Agent Jeff Danik told SaraACarter.com that Sullivan must also request all the communications between the two agents, as well as their supervisors around the August 2017 time-frame in order to get a complete and accurate picture of what transpired. Danik, who is an expert in FBI policy, says it is imperative that Sullivan also request “the workflow chart, which would show one-hundred percent, when the 302s were created when they were sent to a supervisor and who approved them.”

He stressed, “the bureau policy – the absolute FBI policy – is that the notes must be placed in the system in a 1-A file within five days of the interview.” Danik said that the handwritten notes get placed into the FBI Sentinel System, which is the FBI’s main record keeping system.

“Anything beyond five business days is a problem, eight months is a disaster,” he added.

In the redacted 302 report Strzok and Pientka said they “both had the impression at the time that Flynn was not lying or did not think he was lying.” Information that Flynn was not lying was first published and reported by SaraACarter.com.

Flynn was found guilty by Mueller on one count of lying to the FBI. Supporters of Flynn have questioned Mueller’s tactics in getting the retired three-star general to plead guilty to this one count of lying.

It is hard to see how these files could be used as the basis for the conviction of Flynn.  It looks like the guilty plea was arrived at by blackmailing Flynn with the threat that his son would be charged with a crime.  If that is the case the court needs to find out who on the Mueller team made such threats to extort a confession for what looks like a non-crime.
