virtues of our blessed FBI/CIA/intelligence community is stunning to anyone with a basic knowledge of our history, including our recent history, as in the last twenty years. It's just stunning how they sold their souls on this because it was politically advantageous in trying to achieve their goals. History will not judge them well in this debacle.

Sleazy defense lawyer 101. When yer client is guilty as shit, attack the process.
Mark Furhman lied about using the N word. He’s a racist cop. That makes OJ innocent.

That this kind of motive stuff can be found in almost any investigation if you look hard enough.
That you are a bot freak.
to look at this believe the FBI acted inappropriately and that it's not enough for Flynn to walk, but for the FBI to be held accountable. However, it's no surprise you differ.

pipe dream. You also said Orange’s statements about women were disgusting. You still agree or were you lying then?

investigation.
Now, IF they had entrapped him by asking the questions in such a manner, I would agree with you. But they didn’t. End of story.
"What is our goal?" one of the notes read. "Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?"
I'm curious what you have to say. Liberal law Professor Jonathan Turley has already called the notes "chilling."
They also had him dead to rights as a unregistered foreign agent while DNI, not that this would matter to a bot like you. He a guilty lying grifter.

He pled to lying to the feds to avoid charges of being an unregistered agent of a foreign power.
As former Director of the DIA.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
...”Is entrapment illegal”. Follow up question: “Why?”
They interviewed him last, confident he would lie about his actions.
They already had evidence proving his guilt.
He lied about his actions.
Not complicated.

.....I will get back to Flynn in a bit.
But for now, let’s just talk about the FBI.
You focus just on “Flynn lied because he plead”. Yet you ignore egregious behavior by the FBI that is illegal for the specific reason that it can lead to situations like Flynn’s.
Do you on the record support the behavior of these FBI investigators? If you do, have you actually read the new evidence released? And then, why do you continue your defense if your answer is “yes”?
You see, the bigger picture goes beyond Flynn as we both know. This evidence and event shows the smoking gun wrt the DOJ understanding that the Russia claims were not serious and that there was a shadow government operating against the elected president for political reasons.

Christie is a former prosecutor, he knows the games that are played.
1) Much more control over the transition team schedules...nothing like this allowed. Everyone thoroughly briefed on how to respond to this kind of thing.
2) Flynn had no obligation to meet with the agents. Christie would have told them to submit any questions in writing to the transition team lawyers or else piss off. Then he would have called Comey and ripped him a new one. Comey wanted to keep his job.
McCabe is on record sending the fishing expedition because he figured the transition team was filled with novices who wouldn't know what they should do.

If Christie had been in charge of it, there is NFW he would have let those agents even show up.

He knew damn well what they were investigating and didn't have to talk to them, or if he did, he could have come clean. He chose to lie and try to cover it up. That simple and it’s a felony. Like Bill Clinton lying in that perjury trap of a depo that Starr et al had set up. He got what he deserved the same way. He knew the game and tried to beat it. He lost, so did Flynn. It has zero to do with IC abuses.
People are complicated, but we all deserve justice.
foreign agent while holding one of the most important offices in the nation. They let him plead to the lying to the Feds charge with no jail time. He was guilty of that also. They also could have convicted his kid. He got justice.
Sorry, but your version of events doesn't pass the smell test.
Your boy didn’t pass the smell test.
But if you compare/contrast the treatment of McCabe and Flynn, I have some Equal Protection Clause questions. Maybe it's more complicated and I suspect that it is, but on the surface, not a good look for the Feebs.
prosecuted him and he was advancing this tired BS.
Also, IF they had used entrapment with the questions, would also fully agree. But they didn’t. Put on yer big boy pants General. You actually got a good deal.

There are lawyers all over our intel community. This is not 1955 - they follow rules. They’re not the FSB.
But I guess you’re the expert here. I should yield.

I figured I'd skip a formal invitation for you to participate in this thread.
I don't consider myself an "expert." Ironically, it's folks like you who have defined down what constitutes an "expert." Your reason for demanding that Americans defer to experts is fairly obvious, along with the expert author of the book you touted who, shockingly, believes that we just don't listen to experts enough.
Once again, I listen to authentic experts all the time. What I question is the expertise of many self-styled "experts." We've had a number of high-profile "emperor has no clothes" moments over these past several years with these folks. I'm in education. I have to listen to these folks all the time.

When I say TDS, I mean it as a diagnosis, not an insult. And it is very obviously real.
Coordinated leaks designed to hurt their opponent (the elected president in office!) politically. Leaking false stories to the NYT/WaPo to get articles printed so that they could turn around and use those same false stories to justify FISA warrants.
Synchronized attacks.

is that while many of them will fancy themselves as reformers, questioners of the status quo, revolutionaries, they are the biggest defenders of the establishment. I'm not talking about rhetoric, but behavior. Observe it and see which generation falls in line with corporate manipulation and preferred political positions of the elites more than any other.

But my experience is anecdotal, we shall see.
There's something larger going on here, namely a diminishing of the stature and credibility of experts with ordinary people. In some ways, that's a good thing. In many ways, it's a bad thing. This COVID-19 thing might make it worse. Understand that I'm not saying that we shouldn't listen to experts. What I'm saying is that people are justified in questioning the expertise of many self-described experts, and these self-described experts themselves bear most of the blame for their situations. Imagine what will happen if it turns out that our quarantining didn't have a substantial effect on transmission and on the death toll.
transmission and on the death toll."
We're trending in that direction. And I'd predict a certain segment of this board is eventually going to blame Trump for overreacting. Of course, on the flip side the Trump supporters are giving him a pass for the snail's pace reopening.
