Flynn’s Case Proves It’s Time to Fire Mueller When an investigation generates crimes, it’s a crime.
December 4, 2017
Daniel Greenfield Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical left and Islamic terrorism.Petraeus, Obama’s CIA Director, lied to FBI agents about passing classified materials to his mistress. Despite being caught in the lie on a recording, he was never charged for it, as Flynn was. Instead he only pleaded guilty to mishandling classified information and received a slap on the wrist.
While Justice Department personnel had wanted to hold Petraeus accountable, the final decision was made by Attorney General Holder and FBI Director Comey. Lawyers for Petraeus insisted that he couldn’t be charged with lying to the FBI because DOJ guidelines recommend not charging “in situations in which a suspect, during an investigation, merely denies guilt in response to questioning by the government.†Petraeus admitted making false statements, but was never charged over them.
That’s what makes Flynn’s case so striking.
General Petraeus lied about committing a crime. His mishandling of classified information was a serious issue. And yet he was never charged for it.
