Chairman Graham frågar James ”I dont remember that” Comey:
Did you know that Mr Barnett who was the leading investigator of the Flynn case recently said that he never believed that there was a crime involving General Flynn?
(alltså Flint som Pii här inne så vackert kallar honom)
Graham är lika duktig som många i tråden på att plocka körsbär. Barnett använde uttrycket "that particular crime", inte brott generellt.
Citat:
Mr. Barnett did not dispute that Mr. Flynn had lied, but he played down its significance, telling prosecutors that Mr. Flynn most likely lied to save his job.
Mr. Barnett did later tell Mr. Strzok that another case against Mr. Flynn was “far stronger” and had “specific information” that could be investigated. Identifying details about the case were blacked out of the document released on Thursday, but the comments appeared to be a reference to an F.B.I. investigation into work Mr. Flynn had done on behalf of Turkey. Mr. Flynn later admitted to violating foreign lobbying laws but was not charged as part of a plea deal.
Barnett drev linjen att Flynn skulle åtalas för andra brott (bland annat Turkiet), något som (jag antar) Sessions eller Rosenstein förhindrade och såg till så att han fick en plea deal utan att ge upp särdeles mycket.
