developments show it was anything but normal. Seems like Mueller promised Flynn Sr. that he wouldn't prosecute Flynn Jr. if Senior pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against a number of defendants, and that he concocted this agreement on the side to avoid his Giglio obligations to turn over all agreements with Flynn Sr. to the other defendants, thereby depriving them of the right to fully cross examine Senior on his motivations to testify.
Not normal.
Of course we now know that Mueller is a doddering old fool who didn't even know what was in his own report and should be at the Del Boca Vista early bird special.

And you are still a terrible defense lawyer who only cares about the people you like.

Flynn plead guilty under duress because he was blackmailed.
These are the professionals that Chris told us about, and this is the ugly underbelly of the Mueller Team Witch Hunt.
Mueller proved to be just a doddering figurehead who nonetheless knew that he was unleashing a corrupt team against these people.
Never forget.

It is not as simple as you make it out to be.
Question for you: Do you think lying to the FBI should be an independent offense? I think it should just be a punishment multiplier at best, and if a person is innocent of all other charges, then the lying offense is moot--no harm, no foul. Also, it should be treated like a summary judgement...all required inferences going in favor of the interviewee.
just don’t talk to them. You do know that they can’t force you to? He blatently lied to them. He also did tons of other shady and despicable things. No victim there. Just someone out to line his pockets.
Lawyers like you and I know better, but I've seen high level corporate executives answer questions in potentially incorrect ways because they just assumed a number of facts, and didn't bother to provide any caveats. Thankfully for them, I was there to prompt them to fill in the gaps on their assumptions, to clarify the record. Flynn didn't have that advantage. If one of those assumed facts turned out to be wrong, then the executive could be charged with "lying"...at least, if they worked for Trump's campaign. If they worked for the Dems, they would not be charged. If they want to, they can remind the interviewee of their obligation to tell the truth, and the penalty for not doing so...if they suspect an accidental incorrect statement, they can follow up to get the facts...or not, if their main goal is to get a prosecution for a lie rather than to actually get facts.
