Nor do Flynn documents show a “perjury trap,” which is where no legitimate investigative purpose exists for questioning. IG found FBI’s Russia probe was properly predicated. Flynn had told Russia to ignore US sanctions! FBI had legitimate purpose and even duty to ask him about it— Barb McQuade (@BarbMcQuade) April 30, 2020
Flynn documents also do not amount to entrapment, which occurs when someone’s will is overborne by law enforcement, such as when an undercover officer offers you a chance to make so much money you can’t resist, even though you know it’s illegal. That’s not what happened here.— Barb McQuade (@BarbMcQuade) April 30, 2020
So what’s all the fuss about? The documents may give Trump just enough ammunition to smear the FBI and falsely justify a pardon for Flynn.— Barb McQuade (@BarbMcQuade) April 30, 2020
