Laura Ingraham recently reported the Justice Department may have overruled the FBI in the Michael Flynn Case. She spoke with Byron York of the Washington Examiner and Kim Strassel of the Wall Street Journal who explain why the Flynn case is so important.
How the FBI came to interview Flynn and why he pleaded guilty is a mystery that may have begun to make sense.
Several months before Robert Muller began his investigation of possible contacts between Russian source and the Trump campaign, Flynn was interviewed in the West Wing by FBI investigators. The subject was his communications with Russian officials in Washington.
Flynn’s problems began when he agreed to such a meeting without informing President Trump or having a lawyer from the National Security Council. Both would have been standard protocol for any White House Advisor. To deepen the plot, then–acting attorney general Sally Yates, an Obama appointee, threatened a felony prosecution of Flynn under a law that has never been invoked in its over 2oo years of existence – the Logan Act.
A year later, the question remains why was so much made of Flynn’s potential criminal actions as a doorway to Trump when he agreed to a plea deal on just one count of making a false statement to the statement?
Watch the video and learn what Byron York reveals from his investigation and why this could be a sign of unraveling of the Mueller Investigation.
