It's no surprise the @lawfareblog people are upset about the Flynn decision. The government's 20-page brief is 'not an honest document,' they say. Its account is 'not accurate.' 1/5 ow.ly/KH1R50zAknQ
@lawfareblog Lawfare says there were good, solid reasons for the FBI to question Flynn on January 24, 2017 because, among other things, Flynn 'offered to undo sanctions imposed against a foreign adversary.' But did he? 2/5
@lawfareblog Start with this, from the Flynn statement of the offense, by Robert Mueller's prosecutors: 'Flynn called the Russian ambassador and requested that Russia not escalate the situation and only respond to the U.S. sanctions in a reciprocal manner.' 3/5 
@lawfareblog Then there's this, from the Mueller report: 'Flynn requested that Russia not escalate the situation, not get into 'tit for tat,' and only respond to the sanctions in a reciprocal manner.' 4/5
@lawfareblog So ask yourself: Does that constitute offering to undo the sanctions, as Lawfare says? Not at all. To make things worse, Lawfare makes the claim in a passage accusing DOJ of dishonesty.' Which leads to the question: Who's not being honest? 5/5
