Darrel Issa believes Mueller's case against Michael Flynn will be THROWN OUT of court

[Fritz Walter]

From the Daily Mail:

- Issa claims the FBI 'tricked' Flynn into not having a lawyer at the 2017 interview;
- US District Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered both the Mueller investigation and Flynn's team to turn over all documents relating to the interview;
- Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations with Russia's then-ambassador to the United States during the presidential transition;
- His lawyers allege FBI bosses pressured him into seeking no counsel before or during the January 2017 interview which ultimately led to his guilty plea;
- Mueller argued that Flynn, a veteran US official, 'does not need to be warned it is a crime to lie to federal agents'.

Thank you for your expert opinion, as expressed to the hard-of-thinking Faux Gnus audience. Only -- in your case -- "expert" had a different definition:
Ex - past, has-been, washed up;
Spurt - a drip under pressure.

1. In other news: Darrel Issa still a corrupt moron. NT

[Shrike47]

2. Issa is not an attorney. Flynn pled guilty. The conviction will not be 'thrown out'

[meadowlander]

3. He already pled guilty so that seems... unlikely.

4. Tricked?

The general with 3 master's degrees is going for the stupidity defense?

[ProfessorGAC]

6. Not Just That. . .

. . .but isn't it kind of common sense that lying to the FBI is a pretty bad plan?

11. Apparently not common enough

But he should at least be smarter than I- as a lay person- am when it comes to such things.

5. there is a difference in what Issa says and what Issa believes IMO.

7. No case!

It’s a plea

[Baltimike]

8. He's already pleaded guilty. What a buffoon nt

9. Did Issa say this on the roof while hiding from constituents?

10. Meanwhile Flynn gives up the goods on the Turkish connection

and two more are indicted. I think one of them was on Trump's transition team.

12. I always rely on the legal opinions of a convicted criminal:

This is from 2013:

Why Isn’t Darrell Issa In Jail?

...

Issa is a wealthy bully and proven liar with a checkered personal history featuring criminal and civil legal proceedings that involve car thefts, concealed weapons charges and allegations of insurance arson, among his other sterling qualifications for high office. A reasonable man might imagine a less wealthy person perched in Stony Lonesome rather than on the dais of a prestigious and powerful congressional committee.

None of Issa’s past, um, indiscretions are a secret, at least since May 1998, when Lance Williams, then of the San Francisco Examiner, began reporting on the guy. Given that his shady past was admirably re-collated by Ryan Lizza in a 2011 New Yorker profile, Issa’s lies and prominent roles in a long train of extra-legal abuses should be well known to esteemed Washington press hounds who spend their days smooching his expensively draped derriere.

...

– On March 15, 1972, Ohio police arrested Issa and his older brother, William, and charged them with stealing a red Maserati from a Cleveland showroom. The judge eventually dismissed the case.

– While the Maserati case was pending, on December 1, 1972, two police officers on patrol in the small town of Adrian, Ohio, stopped Issa driving a yellow Volkswagen the wrong way down a one-way street and found a .25-calibre Colt automatic inside a box of ammunition, along with a “military pouch” that contained “44 rounds of ammo and a tear gas gun and two rounds of ammo for it.” Issa was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. Issa pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of possession of an unregistered gun. He paid a small fine and was sentenced to six months’ probation.
