Flynn in FBI interview denied discussing sanctions with Russian ambassador

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn denied to FBI agents in an interview last month that he had discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country’s ambassador to the United States before President Trump took office, contradicting the contents of intercepted communications collected by intelligence agencies, current and former U.S. officials said.

The Jan. 24 interview potentially puts Flynn in legal jeopardy, as lying to FBI is a felony, but any decision to prosecute would ultimately lie with the Justice Department. Some officials said bringing a case could prove difficult in part because Flynn may attempt to parse the definition of sanctions.

A spokesman for Flynn said he had no response. The FBI declined to comment.

Why would he lie when Trump says he did nothing wrong?

1. I get the feeling

Flynn might turn, to save his own neck. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

[herding cats]

3. I have the same feeling.

I think things could get very interesting soon.

7. This is a federal offense, so sing or face time. I hope he turns.

13. Flynn had damn well better hope

He has something to deal to the Feds, otherwise he's going to spend some time in the gray bar hotel.

[Lucinda]

12. He is a weasel who spouts rw Infowars crap as truth. I have a hard time

figuring out which way these seemingly "true believers" will flip when faced with reality.

Definitely hope you are right!

23. Yeah right-- The FBI isn't going to charge him.

FBI not expected to pursue charges against Flynn: report

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/320031-no-fbi-charges-expected-for-flynn-report

The FBI is not expected to pursue charges against President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, barring new information about his phone call with Russia's ambassador, CNN reported Thursday, citing law enforcement officials.

FBI interviewers don't believe Flynn intentionally mislead them during an interview last month, despite Flynn not remembering all he talked about in a call with Russian envoy Sergey Kislyak where he discussed sanctions, CNN reported.

Reports emerged earlier Thursday that Flynn told FBI agents he did not discuss U.S. sanctions against Russia with Kislyak in December. Flynn’s answers during his Jan. 24 FBI interview contradicts reports about his past phone calls with Kislyak.

5. K&R

[True Dough]

6. But, but Drumpf and Spicer said

White House counsel looked into whether there was any legal issue and it was determined there was none. It was strictly a matter of trust.

They couldn't possibly be wrong about that, could they?

[herding cats]

8. This is all the fake media's fault for reporting all those real leaks!

[spanone]

10. K&R...

[Renew Deal]

11. Lock him up!

[herding cats]

14. Let's give him a chance to explain himself first.

We may get lucky and he'll take down a few more in the process.

[Thrill]

15. Walls closing in on Flynn

Will he talk?

[crappyjazz]

16. FBI not pursuing charges

According to CNN twitter

Heck of a job Comey

[herding cats]

17. Waring fractions again?

Thanks for the update. It wasn't likely Sessions would have prosecuted anyway.

[peggysue2]

18. If this is true

and Flynn stupidly lied to the FBI then the agency has leverage over him.

If and when he flips? The whole house of cards comes tumbling down.

That being said, I suspect the intelligence community has much more on this crew.

[Maeve]

20. Not according to Comey

[kentuck]

21. Which one are you talking about?

There are lies and then, there are lies that might threaten our national security.

[Old Terp]

22. And don't forget that our allies have been following these people and have tapes

of their conversations with Russians. While I suspect it's Bannon who sunk Flynn, there are friendly forces who could be releasing this info.
