Adam Schiff Releases New Transcripts That Show Michael Flynn Betrayed America
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) blasted Attorney General William Barr for seeking to dismiss charges against Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who already admitted his guilt under oath.
In a statement announcing the release of new transcripts and material from the Russia investigation, Rep. Schiff said Thursday’s development around the Flynn case is the culmination of a years-long effort by the president to let his buddy and former adviser off the hook for betraying the United States.
The Democratic lawmaker said the documents confirm that Flynn betrayed his country in the months leading up to Trump’s presidency.
Rep. Schiff stated:
[T]he transcripts also show that during the transition period in late 2016, the incoming National Security Advisor Michael Flynn undertook efforts to undermine U.S. sanctions on Russia imposed by the previous administration over Russia’s interference in the election on Trump’s behalf. Flynn would later lie to the FBI about these efforts, and the President would try to pressure then-FBI Director Comey to shut down any investigation into Flynn. It would take the firing of then Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the later appointment of an unscrupulous Attorney General, Bill Barr, for the President to achieve his aim of seeking dismissal of the case against Flynn, and only after Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI.
