The documents offer a scathing portrait of his former lawyer as a criminal who deserves little sympathy or mercy because he held back from telling the FBI everything he knew. For that reason, prosecutors said, he should be sentenced to “substantial” prison time, suggesting possibly 3½ years.
Knowing what I know now about the dishonorable way the FBI treats cooperating witnesses, ensnaring innocent people with perjury traps, I would lawyer up and not reveal anything. And I think tens of millions of Americans, having observed this, feel likewise now about the FBI.
Like Flynn, I previously was naive thinking that as an innocent person I would cooperate fully with nothing to hide. Now millions of us know better, that they will create a perjury trap with your cooperation and prosecute you anyway, just to get you to say whatever it is they want you to say.
