How We Know The Flynn FD-302 Is SUPER Important
Undercover Huber's has been collating what we know about negotiations between Flynn's original legal team from Covington and Team Mueller. It's not stuff we didn't know already, but it's nicely arranged to make the main point: Team Mueller knew that if they wanted a chance to squeeze Flynn to force him to lie about Trump it was essential that neither Flynn nor his lawyers should EVER see the FD-302(s) summarizing the FBI interview of Flynn. That "(s)", of course, is very important, because any halfway competent attorney would quickly recognize at a glance that the FD-302 dated February 19, 2017, couldn't possibly be original, and would also demand to see the interview notes.
That's the reason Team Mueller had to threaten both Flynn (prosecution of his son if he doesn't plead) and his lawyers (fact witnesses of the FARA filing for Flynn). They needed Flynn to plead and for his lawyers to forego all discovery, and they needed that ASAP. The original Team Mueller lie--that the FD-302 contained their whole Russia Hoax strategy--wasn't working, so they had to turn to outright threats that were legally dubious to begin with.
The SCO claimed they couldn’t turn over the FD-302 because it would “reveal” parts of their overall Russia interference investigation. But even the edited version of the Jan 24, 2017 interview shows Flynn wasn’t asked about Russian interference or anything remotely like Collusion.
And we now know that the FBI itself wanted to close its Crossfire Razor investigation of Flynn for potential links to Russian interference long before that Jan 24, 2017 interview.
And that investigation of Flynn should never have been opened in the first place, given its laughably weak predicate lacking any articulable factual basis for believing he could have been colluding or conspiring with Russia.
We also now know that the Dec 29 Flynn-Kislyak call changed nothing with regards to any Collusion. And the FBI never opened a Logan Act criminal probe (which would also have been ridiculous).
And in the Mueller report, the SCO itself admits Flynn merely asked Russia not to “escalate” in response to Obama’s sanctions or only respond “reciprocally”. There’s nothing wrong with that. What should he have said, go ahead nuclear armed Russia, please escalate?

Who thinks Sullivan and his behind the scenes handlers like Gleeson don't understand all of this? What does this tell you about the degree to which Dems have corrupted the Judicial Branch?
