You are still too dense to figure this out? We are saying.....and the DOJ....and the U.S. attorney for Missouri....and the appeals court.....and anyone with an IQ above 50....that unless the misstatement has material impact on a legitimate criminal investigation then it is not a crime. Period. It doesn't matter what Flynn thought about, didn't think about, was motivated by.....or whether Flynn was simply forgetting details that Strzok admitted he felt was the only reason.
We have a mound of evidence to suggest that Flynn's misstatement was not a lie (Initial 302s written at the time by the agents doing the interview indicated he likely just forgot). We have a mound of evidence that proves the investigation was not legitimate (FBI field office statements recommending closure of investigation, FBI agent comments, the weak logan act nonsense). Even if we throw ALL of that out and take your absurd position that FLynn purposely lied and the investigation was legitimate then that lie is still not a crime unless it materially impacts the investigation. END OF STORY.
It's like dealing with a small, bratty child.
