DOJ declares that FBI employees can lie to the FBI but no one else can

General Flynn, an American hero, was forced to plead guilty to lying to the FBI after he was nearly driven into bankruptcy paying for his defense lawyers and, allegedly, after the FBI threatened to go after his son.

His "lie" occurred in a meeting with the FBI that he thought was about coordination.  He wasn't told that it was in fact an interrogation as part of the FBI's war on Trump.

The agents who interviewed him wrote that they didn't think he was lying.  Remember that since he didn't know he was being interrogated he had no reason to research all of his answers.  Odds are that if he "lied" it was actually just a mistake not a deliberate intent to mislead the FBI.

As it stands the DOJ has gone back on its agreement which said that if Flynn cooperated, which he did, he wouldn't get prison time.

That's right the DOJ wants to put an American war hero in prison because of what would be called a misstatement if he were a Democrat.

Meanwhile Andrew McCabe was found by the FBI to have lied to the FBI on multiple occasions, some when he was under oath unlike Flynn. Yet the DOJ has said that they're not going to prosecute.

Similarly an FBI spokesperson who lied about receiving gifts from a CNN reporter is also going to go unpunished.

Apparently DOJ will do anything to attack anyone who supports Trump and do anything to keep someone who hates Trump from being punished for lying.

This double standard has to be fixed.  It may be necessary to fire most of the top level DOJ employees but whatever it takes we can't have this double standard.
