We Knew It Was Coming

[Conager]

The AP usually tries to look like they play it down the middle. This article was written atrociously.

No article about a criminal suspect who has a coerced, false confession thrown out is written this way:

"It comes even though prosecutors for the past three years have maintained that Flynn lied to the FBI. Flynn himself admitted as much, pleading guilty before later asking to withdraw the plea."

The only intentional lies told by Flynn were told whe he elocuted his guilty plea.

If you knew nothing about this case, this "news" article would make it appear that Strozyk was an innocent bystander that got fired for nobly being against candidate Trump in some sort of retaliatory pique:

". . .one of the two agents who interviewed Flynn was fired for having sent derogatory text messages about Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign."

They deliberately left off his name because everyone knows he is a conniving partisan hack and his name as one of the two agents that interviewer Flynn is central to what happened.

Coerced into doing so by bankruptcy and threats to prosecute his son on phony Logan Act violations. Give it up.

They can't. If they do so everything they've believed and repeated for the past damn near 4 years will have to be admitted as phony forcing them to admit they were played.

Bad day for abusive Federal prosecutiond:

https://m.startribune.com/unanimous...ridgegate-convictions/570272192/?refresh=true

SCOTUS unanimously takes away the opportunity for the hacks to make every political disagreement a Federal case. we know which way Fed cases always break.

Then there is the Mueller hoax getting the rug ripped out from under it.

Bellisaurus is right they will never admit it was all nonsense. Most will slink away. The truly stupid will double down and intimate Barr is a Russian asset.

 

[DeluxAuto]

Likewise to the political scum behind the attempted soft coup.

There was no coup of any kind attempted.

Yeah, the AP is pathetic. It used to be the gold standard.

NEW: former DNI James Clapper says : "I never saw any direct empirical evidence that the Trump campaign or someone in it was plotting/ conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election." -- in transcript of interview with House Intel during its Russia probe.

yet even today, Schiff is still talking collusion!

 

[DeluxAuto]

The cowardly right now just shuns any and all news sources. Al Jazeera? BBC?

The AP was just literally awarded the #1 spot on this poll for unbiased news just this April.

 

[Klinkster]

And a NY Times writer got a Pulitzer for writing revisionist history.

And Obama Got a Nobel for doing.......nothing.

 

[DeluxAuto]

So did the National Inquirer and the Cara-Cara will never get a noble. Poor needy president.

 

[Klinkster]

Algore got a Nobel for being wrong.

Mrs. Huerta, my seventh grade journalism teacher would be appalled.

You can tell the "journalist" that wrote the article "knows things" so that had to cram those asides in to make sure the reader gets the "correct" story, instead of the actual news. The news story is the Justice Department looked at the impetus for the interview, the alteration of FD-302s, what little we know about what the real FD-302s which would have shown intent to deceive was not there, and in that basis alone would be required to abandon this case.

That I'd plenty of story.

If they want to get wordy, there is a sub-story about the impropriety of the coerced guilty plea and the obfuscations that went into hiding that later of misconduct.

Imagine the furor if an article was written this way after a black defendant has a case dropped because of this level of investigative and prosecutorial misconduct to get a guilty plea on a crime that did not happen.

Flynn did not engage in the necessary elements for a chargeable crime. Nothing that he said that was inaccurate was material to an investigation of an underlying crime. There was no underlying crime. There cannot be the crime of lying to the FBI investigating a crime that didn't happen. Next you would have to show intent, and the opposite occured. Flynn had no idea that the chitchat was of any gravity, had no reason to lie, and the agents concluded that as far as he knew he was telling the truth. A misstatement is not a lie. A lie requires intent.

Cue the chorus of "He ADMITTED he was guilty!"

Some other thread I posted up studies of how often witness statements and confessions are inaccurate, coerced, and thrown out.

Algore got a Nobel for being wrong.

The NYT just got a Pulitzer Prize for being wrong and stoking racial tension while doing so.

There is no journalism in traditional delivery methods.

Edit: just saw your previous post covering that.

NY Times is good for lining bird cages.
Parakeets like to shit on it, since it's nothing but shit anyway.

Go back and read the first sentence that I wrote before I clearly explain what was wrong with one particular article, dummy. You are incapable of reading for understanding aren't you?

You don't decide the quality of journalism by taking a poll. You decide the quality of journalism by reading individual articles and looking for actual journalism. Something you're clearly not able to do.

I would imagine OldJourno reads the AP's raw feed regularly and he is far better qualified to comment on the deficiencies that he has observed over time than you are. Googling ti find someone praising the AP shows nothing worthy of note.

I read your tripe, Connie. You're incapable of having critical thinking and you prove that daily by trying to pigeonhole others into you narrow-minded bull shit.

Here's what I googled:

If you weren't so quick to jump people's shit, you might learn a thing or two. But you don't so you can't.

You might as well just said what the new lame alt said.

 

[Conager]

Good thing you used unbiased Goggle to Google bias with. Good thing the "journalists" that wrote the articles and the pollsters that designed the questions and methodology for the polls were all "educated" at institutions of higher "learning" that are such a bastian of independent thought and welcoming of diverse viewpoints, amiright?

*I* made no broad-brush assertion about the AP other than that they make an attempt to play it down the middle, dummy.

This article did not do that, dummy.

I showed what was wrong, journalistically with this article, dummy.

Your poll, and all of the hastily Googled citations you care to toss up in place of being able to provide your own analysis of *this* article to attempt to refute any of the irrefutable points I made about the slant of *this* article changes nothing.

 

[DeluxAuto]

You seem upset.

 

[Conager]

Not in the least, dummy.

You seem to be triggered, based on your post count and all the butthurt displayed in your meltdown above.

My posts are all on point and insightful, as per usual.

 

[DeluxAuto]

What?

That is not to say that there are not poasters that drop trou and drop a deuce here regularly.

 

[Conager]

Exactly!

Flynn walking is simply evidence of the corruption that is now pervasive in the DOJ.

Plain and simple. And the only remedy is a new Administration.

And now you can sit there and let your mind run wild contemplating how corrupt the DOJ will become when they start prosecuting the persecutors.

Flynn walking is evidence that there was no evidence.

The only remedy is to try, convict, and jail those in the previous admin who set him up.
And they should be subject to a civil lawsuit, so Flynn can get some semblance of his life back.
