Desk note · 6 days ago
Let me explain how fucked up the new Flynn FBI notes really are. January 24, 2017: two agents interview General Michael Flynn in the White House. They take handwritten notes in the room. Those notes just got declassified. They show Flynn hedging, not remembering, saying things like he didn’t recall 4–5 calls from the Dominican Republic and “Hey don’t do anything” on the Kislyak conversation. Then, more than 20 days later, the official FD-302 — the document they used to charge him — says the opposite on key points. Suddenly he “remembered” the calls. Suddenly it “wasn’t ‘don’t do anything.’” That’s not a typo. Strzok and Page were in the texts talking about rewriting a sloppy 302. Leadership had already been told the field office wanted the case CLOSED because there was no derogatory Russia evidence. Priestap’s own notes asked the question out loud: are we after the truth, or are we trying to get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired? They interviewed him without the normal warning. They kept the White House in the dark. They used a process crime because they didn’t have an underlying spy case. Then they squeezed a guilty plea out of a man they had already decided to take off the board. Flynn wasn’t the target. Trump was the target. Flynn was the example. He lost his job, his reputation, his savings, and years of his life. Trump pardoned him. DOJ later cut a check. That is not justice. That is damage control. We need names on indictments, not press releases. The people who opened, steered, edited, leaked, and sat on exculpatory evidence need to answer in court. Grand jury is already in motion — feed it. Declassify the rest. No more redactions that protect the plotters. The same machine that ran Crossfire Hurricane ran a perjury trap on a three-star general @GenFlynn to hobble a duly elected president. Flynn stood. The docs are coming out. Demand the rest. WWG1WGA
