President Trump claimed the FBI document detailing its interview with Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser, is missing.

"Where is the 302?" the president asked late Thursday in a tweet, referring to the FBI's form used to summarize its interviews with witnesses. "It is missing. Was it stolen or destroyed?"
Where is the 302? It is missing. Was it stolen or destroyed? General Flynn is being persecuted! #OBAMAGATE

Last week, Rep. Devin Nunes, a Trump ally and the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo that the FBI's original 302 interview summary "is still missing."
The California Republican said top FBI officials and other sources told lawmakers behind closed doors that the bureau did not believe Flynn lied when interviewed by two agents on Jan. 24, 2017. Nunes said he was shocked to learn later about leaks to the media saying Flynn was "being busted" for lying about his contacts with a Russian envoy during the presidential transition period.
Flynn, who cooperated in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his conversations with a Russian diplomat. He later declared his innocence and argued he was set up by the FBI.
"Then that means that the FBI had lied to us," Nunes said. "The original report that was used to brief the United States Congress, that report is missing. It's gone. Poof. We can't find it."
Late last year, Flynn's lawyers alleged FBI agents doctored the 302, but federal prosecutors denied that the notes had been changed in any significant way.
The Justice Department filed to dismiss charges against Flynn. The judge presiding over the case invited outside opinions on Tuesday and appointed a retired judge on Wednesday to argue whether Flynn should be held in contempt for perjury.

So, FBI, WHERE IS THE ORIGINAL?
Good question and here’s the answer....😂
Obama seems worried about the DOJ dropping the Flynn case, is that because of what scandals it will reveal in his own administration? Political cartoon by A.F. Branco ©2020
Probably in the same safe place where Tara Reades Senate complaint is.
And pictures of the Abominable Snowman...
The Obominable Snowjob has never been seen at the University of Delaware
Wonder where the Mueller Team "misplaced" it?
Since Flynn was interviewed 3 MONTHS before Mueller was appointed, WHY are you wondering that?
That’s the point. Since the interview already happened Mueller would have had the notes of that for his own investigation. So, what did he and his staff do with the FBI notes of that interview?
Classified and In (Deleted)'s hidey hole with the rest of his "perfect" phone conversations.
More likely a conversation piece on Barack Obama's coffee table. That is where all needed investigative materials end up. In Democratic President's homes.
Amazing and unprecedented that the 302 was first essentially entirely rewritten first by Peter Strozek and then by his mistress who was neither an agent nor attended the interview. Funny business from the get go.
I'm not a lawyer, but isn't that all hearsay from conspiracy sites?
I am not a Shrink, but I have a lot of experience with Shrink Wrap....
Funny that Lisa Page admitted to altering the 302 (which is illegal). Also that the FBI made multiple drafts of the 302 (which is not standard procedure).
So the Hill is a conspiracy site? Oh, and from the article the two 302's the FBI produced for the prosecution is linked right from the article. Neither is the original- of course the FBI claims there were two original 302's. They can't produce either one.
Oh, you and the TDS suffers that don't give a damn about standard procedure or rule of law will be happy to know that the judge in the Flynn case has violated his own precedence by appointing a new outside prosecutor and is trying to get Flynn for perjury and contempt. Time for a fucking mistrial due to judicial bias.
The judge is nothing more than a Clinton appointed tool; that reversed course after Obama opened his fat mouth about a case he has illegal ties to.
But Trruuummmmppppp!!!!! This is beyond pathetic

The documents cam from the Federal government.
Okay, show of hands here:
How many folks still think that the FBI has done absolutely nothing wrong re the Flynn trap, and the "investigation" of collusion?
ME,ME,Me,
The man pleaded guilty and accepted a plea Bargain which included lying to the FBI on multiple occasions, failure to report acting as an agent for a
foreign government which is officially a NATO ally but more often than not acts like a puppet of Russia and multiple other charges including using his son as a shield in some of these charges.
DOJ, considering the 3 star General's service to his country and former service in the Obama Adminiistration, bent over backwards,
tempting the patience of the Judge on more than one occasion to lessen the severity, the charges and the punishment.
Michael Flynn pled guilty, not once but twice to the same charges and plea arrangement.
No wonder the Judge is concerned. Either Flynn is a perjurer or a traitor or both in my humble opinion.
Flynn jumped the gun, could not wait to be an international "player" or at least got caught doing so before the Trump Administration
was sworn in. Period. He had no authority to speak to any foreign dignitary, or promise any international outcomes. Period.
And he lied about it when they ( NSA & FBI) already had the taped conversations.
He was toast, remains toast, should take his punishment and be thankful that he still gets a military pension.

Rule of law, and procedure be damned right?
So you will have no problem if the Trump FBI and DOJ does something similar to any Biden campaign officials and future members of the administration?
If they plead guilty? Once or twice? Makes no matter to me. Innocent people take guilty plea bargains all the time
to stop the hemorrhaging of money and to get back to their lives without waiting years.
Only the judge can rescind if he/she finds that the defendant was poorly advised or did not understand the judgement.
The Judge went over this in great detail TWICE and TWICE elicited a verbal and written plea of guilty by General Flynn. The Judge ACCEPTED that guilty plea TWICE.
Flynn was acting as an official member of the US government a month before Trump was sworn in and was
STILL (secretly) a lobbyists for our strange Russia loving Turkish "allies".
He lied to Pence. He lied to a lot of people.
That's pretty convenient. And, one would think, highly improbable in a non-corrupt scenario.
Isn't it?
Yes, VERY improbable. I'm sure the FBI twiddled its collective thumbs for 3 weeks before writing up the report that they were SURE was going to accomplish their goal--removal of Flynn. And now, it simply can't be found?
Yeah, right.
Judge Sullivan addressed this delusional bullshit in his 92 page denial of Flynn's motion for Brady material in December of 2019.
No one cares.
to wit:
Thank you for your unfounded and uniformed opinion. /s
The document is in the same 'drawer' along with the Hawaiian Birther investigators stuff.
So now you think the FBI investigated where Obama was born?
LOL!
Holy crackers. Tony Schwartz is correct. [Deleted]
WTF are you going on about now?
Deleted? Sweeping Generalization? Don't think so. 4.1 and 4.1.2 exudes the 'pardon me but I think your slip is showing' in absolute spades.
