"In her last filing, Powell accused “certain elements in the government” of targeting Flynn for destruction because he had “publicly expressed intent to audit the intelligence agencies where billions of dollars are unaccounted for.”This new allegation comes amidst the news that U.S. Attorney John Durham’s ongoing probe into potential FBI and Justice Department misconduct is now a full-fledged criminal investigation.
Flynn eventually pleaded guilty to making false statements to anti-Trump agent Peter Strzok and another agent regarding his conversations with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Documents related to the questioning, however, indicated the agents did not believe at the time that Flynn intentionally lied to them. Flynn’s FBI 302 — a form used by agents to report or summarize interviews — was later altered to reflect that he had purposefully lied, Powell alleges.
According to Powell, a team of “high-ranking FBI officials orchestrated an ambush-interview of the new president’s National Security Advisor, not for the purpose of discovering any evidence of criminal activity—they already had tapes of all the relevant conversations about which they questioned Mr. Flynn—but for the purpose of trapping him into making statements they could allege as false.”
Powell alleges that texts between FBI lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page reveal that “the upper echelon of the FBI” orchestrated the hit on Flynn."
"Sidney Powell, Flynn’s lead council, filed a 37-page brief on Thursday alleging that FBI agents manipulated official records of the January 2017 ambush interview that led to him being charged with lying to investigators. Powell is urging the court to “dismiss the entire prosecution for outrageous government misconduct.”
Question: Has anyone seen Jeff Sessions lately?
