Senator Grassley appears to be preparing to bust the frame-up of General Flynn
By Thomas Lifson
Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa, the laconic Midwesterner with a steel trap mind, dropped a major bombshell yesterday with a letter (the full letter appears below -- pdf here) to Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein (who supervises the Mueller probe) and FBI Director Christopher Wray. But in keeping with Grassley’s style that has so often misled his opponents into overconfidence, you have to read between the lines to see where he is heading. The end point: uncovering the plot to frame General Flynn for lying to the FBI, including likely criminal acts by senior members of the FBI.
Recall that facing financial ruin, and threats to prosecute his son on unrelated charges, General Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, yet James Comey told the Grassley Committee in a briefing that
…the FBI agents who interviewed Lt. General Michael Flynn, “saw nothing that led them to believe [he was] lying.†Our own Committee staff’s notes indicate that Mr. Comey said the “agents saw no change in his demeanor or tone that would say he was being untruthful.†Contrary to his public statements during his current book tour denying any memory of those comments, then-Director Comey led us to believe during that briefing that the agents who interviewed Flynn did not believe he intentionally lied about his conversation with the Ambassador and that the Justice Department was unlikely to prosecute him for false statements made in that interview. In the months since then, the Special Counsel obtained a guilty plea from Lt. General Flynn for that precise alleged conduct.
