#1 Is it just me, or does this entire business of "lying to FBI is a crime" is custom made for abuse?

#2 But will these "[e]Xplosive new... documents" amount to a hill of beans (aside from exonerating Lt Gen Flynn)?

#3 I'm going to guess the rank n file agents in the field are nauseated, but they understand the Seat of Government crowd can ruin them on a moment's notice.

#5 When "Turnpike Phantom" spree killer John Wesley Wable's sentence was carried out, he was delivered by PA State Police to the front entrance of Rockview Penitentiary in Centre County, PA and taken directly to the electic chair. Something like that would be a start.

Not just you, g. Part of the grand US prosecutorial tradition of nailing people on "process" crimes unrelated to the original charge(s).

In the US generally, s.t. like 95% of prosecutions end in a plea bargain. This "process crime" BS is surely a factor in attaining such an absurdly high rate of pleas.

#7 My business law teacher told me (circa 1977) that 95% of those arrested are "guilty of something".
