During his fateful interview with FBI agents at the White House in January 2017, then-National Security Advisor Mike Flynn was given numerous opportunities to describe his prior conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, according to new FBI interview notes released Monday.

In each instance, Flynn denied that he had spoken to Kislyak about Russian sanctions or a pending UN resolution on Israel.

Flynn pleaded guilty guilty last December to lying to the FBI agents about those conversations with Kislyak.

The FBI interview notes — known as 302s – were filed by special counsel Robert Mueller’s team in federal court in Washington D.C., where Flynn is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday. The judge in the case ordered the filing of the redacted documents because he deemed them relevant to sentencing.

  1. From the article:

    Flynn pleaded guilty guilty last December to lying to the FBI agents about his conversations with Kislyak.

    In other news tonight, the Wicked Witch of the West “is not only merely dead, she’s really most sincerely dead”

  2. Hereafter to be referred to as “Flynn, Crim.” It almost rhymes!

  3. With Mad Libs they identify the part of speech for each missing word – I wonder if they could re-redact it that way. At least we’d have a fighting chance!

  4. The world would have been a better place if your gullible dumb ass would have just ended up renting surfboards in NH (to paraphrase Flynn’s book)

  5. He did not lie about meeting the russians, he lied about discussing the sanctions.
