No it isn't. He was doing his job.
And those calls were *legally* obtained! We have every right to eavesdrop on non-Americans. Who told you they were illegally collected? Seesh.

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostThe witch hunt started by Comey and Peter Strzok was started under false pretenses. That is illegal. The probe, beginning in August 2016 when Flynn was a foreign policy adviser to then-candidate Trump, centered on paid speaking engagements Flynn had in Russia, which were public knowledge at the time, just like the speaking engagements given by Bill Clinton.
If Flynn has nothing to hide then he should support releasing the transcripts to clear his name.

Originally posted by DivineOb View PostThat may be, but it is entirely legal, ethical, and appropriate to eavesdrop on every phone call involving foreign nationals.
Therefore the calls were collected legally.That's what

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostFalse. DOJ guidelines call for the FBI to open counterintelligence probes only when there is a reasonable and articulable basis to believe that criminal activity has occurred or that a threat to national security may exist.
No they weren't. The CI investigation the eavesdropping was predicated on was in no way appropriate, and was therefore illegally conducted. Hence, the case was dropped. And as a result, any information gathered from that illegal surveillance is inadmissible.
You agree that it was appropriate to listen to Kislyak's half of the phone call, right?
If listening to Flynn's half was inappropriate why didn't Flynn's initial set of very expensive lawyers point that out?

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostNo. It's a legalese loophole in FISA that allows them to eavesdrop on American citizens without informing them, which is illegal.
Boob or no (I think he had more than one) this sounds like a very straightforward violation of the law. Is Flynn's current lawyer claiming that the phone calls were illegally collected?
