Attorney General Barr says what Michael Flynn did "was not a crime"
CBS News, May 8, 2020

<snip>

In an exclusive interview with CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge, Barr dismissed the notion from critics that he is doing the bidding of Mr. Trump.

Catherine Herridge: The last thing most Americans remember about General Flynn is that he was fired. And that he admitted lying to the FBI. Does the fact remain that he lied?

Attorney General William Barr: Well, you know, people sometimes plead to things that turn out not to be crimes. ... And the Department of Justice is not persuaded that this was material to any legitimate counterintelligence investigation. So it was not a crime.

When a special counsel report was released last year, you were accused by critics of putting your thumb on the scale in the president's favor. Are you doing the president's bidding in General Flynn's case?

No, I'm doing the law's bidding. I'm doing my duty under the law, as I see it.

You know you're going to take a lot of incoming ... for this decision. Are you prepared for that?

Yea, I'm prepared for that. I also think it's sad that nowadays these partisan feelings are so strong that people have lost any sense of justice.

What should Americans take away from your actions in the Flynn case today?

I was concerned people were feeling there were two standards of justice in this country. ... I wanted to make sure that we restore confidence in the system. There's only one standard of justice.

Good.  Now, if you really want to restore confidence, follow through and jail the bastards who did this to Flynn!  Let the Civil lawsuits begin!

Does anyone know whether Flynn's supposed lying was under the circumstance of a response to a simple verbal FBI questions, or was it under an under oath deposition?

Really matters in determing the level of criminality here.

The alleged "lies" were in the setting of an interview in Flynn's office, where he was not admonished not to lie, and contrary to normal White House policy of having somebody from Legal sitting in.  Barr is saying the so-called "lies" were not material in the case the FBI was investigating.

Nearly impossible to get conviction of government operatie, doing the job as they see it.

Yet it traces into the WH wwhereby Obama says tell him no more.

That is an implied admission the Potus knew it was wrong, yet advanced it.

OTOH Strzok/Page noted Potus wanted to be informed.

Absolutely no doubt should remain, that the dems attempted a Coup d' etat.

Certain TDS  #nevertrumpers have moved in tandom with dems and media, hoping the Coup would be successful.

The "Bureaucratic Immunity" does not attach if they acted illegally under the color of law.  It's a high hurdle, but I think these cases of prosecutorial abuse meet that high bar.  But...IANAL.

It's been enjoyable watching the Libera heads explode over this.
