#32 and #33...
if you believe I've made Abrignac's point, then you have not read my entire post and put it in the context of Abrignac's post above, #29.
He believes that the Mueller investigation is dividing the country and that there are some indices of impropriety. His first allegation is that one of the FBI agents who interviewed Flynn had an agenda. This ignores the numerous other FBI agents who interviewed Flynn and /or worked on the case. And the agent with the agenda didn't prepare the case nor did he work with the prosecutors who brought the case to court. Every law enforcement agency is made up of humans, some of whom make mistakes or have improper motives. But that doesn't mean the entire agency should be dismissed...just the bad apple...
His second assertion is that Comey preyed upon Trump's disorganized administration to go off the reservation on Flynn. This sounds like Abrignac believes the FBI improperly investigated and prosecuted Flynn. Flynn admitted he committed serious crimes in court today, and the FBI would be remiss if they failed to investigate a crime of that magnitude with the very public evidence in front of them.
"Since when did we start taking the side of a convicted perjurer/foreign agent over the FBI..."
I posted this to ask why the cons dragged the FBI's case against Flynn through the mud in the days before his sentencing. The answer is "Trump". Trump is the one who is at the center of all these investigations, and has the most to lose when his past colleagues testify against him. He has consistently put out lies after lies as more and more evidence is revealed. The con argument that Flynn was ambushed came directly from Trump and his advisers. He is muddying the waters, trying to win the case in the court of public opinion.
After all the instances where Trump has been shown to be a liar about events that led to criminal prosecutions and guilty pleas by his underlings, it's remarkable that Trump still has supporters who buys his schtick of attacking the investigators, attacking the flippers, attacking the prosecutors, attacking the judge and attacking the media who report these events factually.
Something really historic happened during the presidential campaign, and we should all want to know the truth about it. Flynn was involved and was a participant. He also committed some serious crimes along the way and lied about it. He only has value if he can provide evidence about the events that happened during the campaign, some of which may be criminal. By cooperating with the FBI, Flynn can avoid lawful prison time. I don't hold him in higher regard than the totality of the FBI or the SCO investigating the Russian involvement in our election.
Partisanship may have something to do with how we all view these investigations...but truth has no party identification... and the quest for truth is greater than either party...
