1/17 In order to understand why @GenFlynn plead guilty, you have to understand how the justice system is engineered w/predetermined outcomes. The FBI interview, is designed to entrap from start to finish. If they want to take you down, there is no way out. . @SidneyPowell1
2/17 “During an FBI interview one agent takes notes by hand while the 2nd agent—in the traditional two-agent FBI interviewing team—conducts the interview. Tape recordings are almost never done because such recordation is – believe it or not – against formal written FBI policy.”
3/17 The FBI forgoes recording interview, hence the historical record relies solely on the FBI agent’s interpretation & periodic notes taken during interrogation which are not a verbatim accounting. FBI agent’s notes are then typed in a 302 form after the interview.
4/17 In the case of @GenFlynn, Peter Strzok conducted the interview & Joe Pientka took notes. However, in Flynn's case the notes were typed 6 mos. after the interview!
5/17 “When the feds suspect that a witness might tell a tale at the grand jury or at trial that is inconsistent with the prosecution’s favored factual scenario, the prosecutors will usually show him or his lawyer the 302 report.”
6/17 “It becomes clear to the witness that he either must stick to the 302 version, or else risk a false statement or perjury charge when he testifies differently under oath.”
7/17 Agent testimony during trial is most often accepted w/o question. Agents not present at an interview, rely on a 302, to testify in court about a defendant’s statements, based on the 302’s accounts. Their testimony is exempt from the ‘hearsay rule,’ & accepted as fact.
8/17 “Any interviewee who contests its accuracy risks prosecution. Hence, a potential witness’ script is written – and not necessarily by the witness himself – the moment he opens his mouth in the presence of an agent.”
9/17 In 2011 Pres. Obama extended then-FBI Dir. Robert Mueller’s term by 2 yrs. allowing the entrenched director to continue the FBI’s investigative practice of not recording interrogations & interviews, thus sanctioning the FBI “to manipulate witnesses, manufacture convictions.”
10/17 “Paul K. Charlton, a now-former US Atty. in AZ, certainly thought so when he broke ranks & ordered the mandatory recording of any stmts from an investigative target in cases undertaken by his office. Charlton’s policy was resisted, & he was fired soon after instituting it.”

Latest from the brilliant . @ProfMJCleveland on @sidneyPowell1 recent court filing. Cleveland's analysis of Sidney's brief, when compared with my latest thread shows how corrupt FBI policy enabled the FBI's glaring misconduct in @Genflynn's case. https://thefederalist.com/2019/10/25/sidney-powell-drops-bombshell-showing-how-the-fbi-trapped-michael-flynn/#.XbMA5c_k-4Q.twitter
