Flynn's attorney expects more revelations

Katie Pavlich:

"The documents I've seen so far in addition to the ones you have in your hands now are even more stunning. It's just absolutely appalling what these agents and then the Special Counsel operation did to General Flynn. It's abuse of their authority at every turn," Powell said. "These documents weren't easily discovered. The emails have been in the FBI the whole time but the handwritten notes, as I understand it, may not have been. We still do not know who the author of those is. They're devastating evidence of lengths they were willing to go to dsiregard all prior protocols, all prior rules, their standard practice in other cases to warn of 1001 violation. All of that. None of that applied to General Flynn. They only had special violations of every protocol known for him because they were determined to take him out."

Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy broke down the new documents and said it's clear FBI agents put Flynn in a perjury trap.

"I think what we're seeing is a meticulously planned out scheme to try to get a 33-year combat veteran of the United States to say something inaccurate so that they'd have a basis to charge him with false statements or otherwise get him fired," McCarthy said. They did not have a legitimate investigative reason for doing this. There was no criminal predicate. There was no reason to treat him as a criminal suspect."

"For years a number of us have been arguing that this looked like a perjury trap. We're now seeing the paper trail start to catch up with what common sense has said for a longtime," he continued.

I think it took AG Barr and Durham to shake loose some of these documents that the FBI had been hiding.   This should be the biggest story in the media today, but those who worked with the FBI in attacking Flynn and Trump are reluctant to give it the coverage it should have.

President Trump has attacked CNN for its coverage of Flynn.

President Trump lashed out at CNN over the network's coverage of former national security advisor Michael Flynn, one of the first Trump officials to be ensnared in the special counsel's investigation into Russian election interference.

In a pair of tweets late Wednesday evening, the president indicated his support for Flynn amid his former aide's efforts to withdraw a guilty plea in his case, and said that CNN and others should "pay a big price for what they have purposely done to this man & his family."

".@CNN doesn’t want to speak about their persecution of General Michael Flynn & why they got the story so wrong. They, along with others, should pay a big price for what they have purposely done to this man & his family. They won’t even cover the big breaking news about this scam!" Trump tweeted.

"What happened to General Michael Flynn, a war hero, should never be allowed to happen to a citizen of the United States again!" the president added in a tweet early Thursday.
