I have a theory on the "perjury" trap sprung on @GenFlynn, which would be very difficult to prove but evidence supports. Because there was no recording of questioning of Flynn, we only have what Flynn recalls saying & what agents said they asked/he said. 1/

2/ Even with perfect recall, if agents asked Flynn whether he discussed sanctions w/ Kislyak, answer is no. But if discussed expulsions, answer is yes. 302 indicates Flynn did mention expulsions in answer by say "but not 30". But somewhere, Deep State line became Flynn lied

3/ about not discussing SANCTIONS. Yates thought that and said that to White House. And Special Counsel's office charged Flynn with lying about sanctions, when transcript shows he didn't discuss sanctions w/ Kislyak. I'd wager in prepping questions agents intentionally

4/4 focused on sanctions, but with intent of twisting it later to Flynn denying discussing expulsions but things got twisted later.
