Law Professor Alan Dershowitz said the prosecutors knew the truth and what they did was give General Flynn the opportunity to lie. They didn’t ask the questions to get the truth, they knew the truth. They wanted to get him to lie or misstate.
Dershowitz said we don’t want to empower the FBI, grand juries, or prosecutors to perform “morality tests, criminal morality tests on citizens.”

Flynn should never have pled guilty. Prosecutors were using him to get to the President.
Dershowitz said he doesn’t want to live in a country that “imposes morality tests.”
They should never ask questions to which they know the answers. Those are inappropriate questions, Dershowitz said.
Prosecutors should have told them what their goal was and they should have set up a proper meeting.
Are we going to live in a country in which law enforcement agents are allowed to set people up and arrest them for sins?
The goal is always to get Trump.
As the Wall Street Journal’s Daniel Henninger said, prosecutors appear to be looking for a crime with which to charge Donald Trump.
In the U.S., fishing for crimes is not constitutional, but our law enforcement officials are doing it routinely.
The case should be tossed just because of the Mueller teams destruction of exculpatory evidence (original Form 302) and the fabrication of evidence (replacement Form 302 created 7 months after the interview). A new Special Council must be formed to look into the malfeasance of the Mueller Team and the origins of the Deep State effort to undermine the Trump presidency. It must be formed of prosecutors with no connections to the Department of Justice and they must all be from outside of the beltway.
If the Republicans in Congress are so concerned with what’s happening with Flynn why have they not filed any paperwork in response. As Nunes has said they have all this evidence in their investigation so why not present it to the court. A Judge does not go and seek information or evidence, rather, he takes what he is given and bases a decision on that alone. It’s why you see people filing an amicus brief in appellate cases.
Many people are expecting and hoping Judge Sullivan will ‘crack the whip’ in this “injustice”. But I’m not so hopeful or expecting. Judges, even the best, will give prosecutorial discretion. It’s part of the Judicial process, even though “presumed innocent” should mean the benefit of doubt leans toward the defendant.
What is most disturbing is the “Trey Gowdy” effect, who believe prosecutors are only interested in finding truth, whereas all the evidence suggests the contrary. There are vast number of cases where it is a “win at all costs” attitude. This seems self-evident with the Mueller investigation. This is partly the result of those high level prosecutions that make a “Name” for the lawyer, because, politics IS at it’s root. And, in this case it IS all about politics. The Entire cased is based on it. It is the prosecution of “Political Change”. One has to look no further than what Mueller is using in his own document. The Trump administration may change policies with Russia, different from Obama. The Trump administration is “concerned” with the US vote Against Israel that is a complete departure from past resolution votes by the US.
It’s as if the political Judicial class sees Trump as an enemy of the State by undermining the First Black President and His policies. Might that be why Trump is so hated by so many, simply because he is Undoing the First Black President. Are they concerned the “racist” word will be used against them. It is likely that is why Trump and his supporters are considered “racists”. It’s no different than during Obama’s term. Any opposition was “Racist”, and that stigma has and is being maintained. It makes No difference that Trump’s policies are working whereas Obama’s did not. A black man cannot be allowed to fail,or its racist. He just didn’t know How to use the “magic wand”.
My bet is that Judge Sullivan willthrow out the Flynn plea and Muller and his team 100% discredited. This will be Trump’s best excuse to fire the crook.
I’ll answer the question. It is SOP for the feds to create a crime, frame a target, and force them to cooperate. This is pure Stalinism. If you are ever questioned by any fed for any reason remember these five magic words, “I have nothing to say.”
