The Michael Flynn Saga Reveals Democrats’ Near-Coup Use Of Federal Power

Barr explained how he had appointed U.S. Attorney Jeff Jensen to review the Flynn case after Flynn's attorney, Sidney Powell, began accusing the Department of Justice of misconduct.

Comey Switches Testimony on Whether Flynn Lied First, just a little more than a month after Pientka and Strzok interviewed Flynn, Comey testified before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

According to the 302, Strzok stated that following the interview of Flynn, he and Pientka "both had the impression at the time that Flynn was not lying or did not think he was lying.

" Not only did McCord apparently mislead Yates concerning the FBI agents' assessment of Flynn's veracity, according to Yates, McCord was "effectively 'cross examining' the statements Flynn made to the interviewing agents as compared to the transcripts.

According to McCord's 302 summary, following Strzok and Pientka's questioning of Flynn, "McCord reviewed the Flynn transcripts and pulled out excerpts for Yates to reference in the discussion with the White House Counsel's Office, should they be necessary.

" Another Lie: That Flynn Discussed Sanctions McCord further stated, as summarized in the 302 summary, that Yates "told them that the conversations made it clear that there were discussions on Russian sanctions in those calls, contrary to what Vice President Pence had said on TV." But as all Americans now know with the declassification of the transcripts of Flynn's calls to Kisylak, Flynn did not discuss Russian sanctions with the Russian ambassador.

So why did Yates think otherwise? Did McCord, who "reviewed the Flynn transcripts" and "pulled out excerpts for Yates" in preparation for the meeting, also mislead Yates about Flynn's conversation with the ambassador? If so, was it intentional, or was McCord merely a victim of her own confirmation bias? There is no doubt McCord held a bias: "When McCord left DOJ she was hired by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, serving 'front and center' in the whistleblower fraud run by Schiff that later led to the failed attempt to impeach president Trump.
