Let us accept that the US federal investigation bureaux are a functional secret police, who will find a crime. Even if you are squeaky clean. The only difference between them and the KGB is that the latter (like the Stasi, the Okhrana and the Gestapo) tortured. The Modern Russians say they don’t.
So do the Septics.
But they don’t need to. They have weaponized laws that are unjust.
An easy way for the government to create criminality where there is none is to make it a crime to lie to its agents, in this case the FBI, which is Deep State Central. The object of creating bogus categories of crime, naturally, is to leverage power over adversaries; to scare them.
Likewise was Martha Stewart imprisoned — not for the offense of insider trading, but for lying to her inquisitors. During interrogation, the poor woman had been so intimidated, so scared of conviction— wouldn’t you? — that she fibbed. The lead federal prosecutor in her case was the now-notorious James B. Comey. (See “Convicted For Fearing Conviction”)
This kind of entrapment — the criminalization of the act of lying to the government, in Flynn’s case about a non-crime — is facilitated under the unconstitutional Section 1001 of Title 18, in the United States Code. It makes it an offense to make “a materially false” statement to a federal official — even when one is not under oath.
It’s perfectly fine, however, for said official to bait and bully a private citizen into fibbing. By such tactics, The State has created a category of crime from which a select few are exempt.
Is this equality under the law or inequality under the law?
Section 1001 neatly accommodates a plethora of due-process violations.
Yet another tool in the Deep State toolbox is to lean on family members in order to extract a confession. To get Flynn senior to confess, U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is purported to have threatened Mike Flynn junior with a legal kneecapping.
Ultimately, The State has overwhelming power when compared to the limited resources and power of an accused. The power differential between The State and an accused means he or she, as the compromised party, will cop a plea.
The Flynn guilty plea bargain, if you will, is nothing more than a negotiated deal which subverts the very goal of justice: the search for truth.
In the process of hammering out an agreement that pacified a bloodthirsty prosecutor, Flynn’s punishment for doing nothing wrong has been reduced. President Trump’s former national security adviser will still have to sell his home to defray the costs of a federal onslaught.

Do you think you are safe because your husband is a nice guy? Do you think this can’t happen to him because he is a good, kind, refined, and behaves himself at work?
Congratulations, feminism. This is what you always wanted. Any man you don’t like you can destroy with one little allegation.
This is what “#metoo” mob justice leads to.
There are some things we can do. We can not make eye contact. We can spend our time at high alert, monitoring our face and speech, and not interacting with any woman. For the state will come into our houses, because #metoo includes domestic violence. I trust my wife far more than our elected masters.
It has reached the point where any action will cause guilt. This is the modern red guard. It will burn out. It always does: and the good news is that this terror is run by people less competent that the Bolsheviks, Jacobins and the Maoists.
But the bad news is that they want blood. And the blood they get will be paid for. May this cycle stop now.
What I find hilarious is the fright they all have that men will go Mike Pence, and they’ll lose out on opportunities, etc.
Oh well.
They made their bed; they can lie in it. Alone, with their cats. 😉
Oh yes.
