Trump Defends Flynn – ‘He Didn’t Lie, Mueller Pushed That Claim’

President Trump, responding to new allegations that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was coerced into forgoing a lawyer during an interview with the FBI, claims “he didn’t lie” and it was Special Counsel Robert Mueller who pushed the claim.

“Well, the FBI said Michael Flynn, a general and a great person, they said he didn’t lie,” Trump said at a White House meeting with governors-elect.

“And Mueller said: ‘Well, maybe he did,'” he continued. “And now they’re all having a big dispute, so I think it’s a great thing that the judge is looking into that situation. It’s an honor for a lot of terrific people.”

Kudos to Judge Emmet Sullivan.   An honest judge,  dedicated to the pursuit of justice.   

Interestingly, the FBI form 302 - the official summary of the meeting between FBI agents and Flynn - is dated August 22, 2017 - SEVEN MONTHS after the date of the interview.    Yet texts from at least one of the agents as well as testimony from Comey suggest the 302 was written long before then - which makes sense since the summary's supposed to be composed contemporaneously,  just like Comey's own notes to his file following his first meeting with Trump.    That the date of the 302 is seven months after the interview strongly suggests it was edited.   By whom?   At whose direction?   And what of the testimony of FBI officials before Congress that the interviewing agents didn't think Flynn was lying?

A date that far from the event might also mean that the form itself is not admissible evidence under the business records exception to hearsay.
