So, Is That How the Special Counsel Office Avoided Turning Over the FBI's 302 Report to Flynn's Lawyers?
BLUF:
[The Federalist] This case has no prosecutor. He resigned and all parties have not opposed the DOJ motion. Yet, Judge Emmet Sullivan, who is presiding over this case, is appointing a retired judge, John Gleeson, to fight the DOJ and see if perjury charges could be attached, given Flynn’s guilty plea. It’s absurd but predictable. This case totally collapsed, but Sullivan had already gone on record to call Flynn a traitor. He was in a position of looking ridiculous, so he’s prolonging the legal agony here. Yet, what happened to the original FBI report on the Flynn interview?

The interview would have been part of a 302 report, which has to be filed five days after speaking with those who are part of a federal investigation. It took three weeks for Flynn’s 302 to be filed, where the report was edited by those who weren’t even there, a major departure in department policy. Flynn’s legal team wanted it. The SCO refused and for good reason. This so-called case was probably over before it began because the 302 would have included citation that the agents present felt that Flynn didn’t lie, gutting the entire plot against him. To deploy countermeasures and prevent evidence of Flynn’s innocence to be exposed, the SCO leaked the legal threats against Flynn’s son, who works with his father in lobbying efforts and was on the campaign trail with him. Keep this up and your family will be locked up. Undercover Huber, who elaborated in-depth on the Manafort case mentioned above, did a lengthy Twitter thread about the FBI’s 302 on Flynn and why those who wanted to get Flynn and damage the Trump administration would want to keep this buried forever:
Emphasis added.

#1 The FBI interviewers came back with the wrong answer. The 302's were modified to reflect the desired narrative.

#2 And I'd say leave this in WoT, because what the FBI and the Bath House DoJ did to Flynn is terrorism.

It sounds nicer when you put it that way. Less kinetic.

There are those who would argue that Baraq has long since gone beyond just being a seedy politician.

#8 Former president Obama was intended to be a Communist Manchurian Candidate, to be sure. It is only an accident of history and the friendship of his fellow Red Diaper Baby,
Valerie Jarrett, that most of his appearances in our archives connect to the War on Terror as an ally of the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran.
