Oops

Ron Johnson tells us his “secret society” comments were based on an informant and the words used in a Strzok-Page text exchange. He acknowledges not knowing what they meant - and says the focus now on his committee is the Clinton email scandal.

Mueller will know.

@tedlieu
Because attorneys for Flynn ended cooperation with the White House last Nov, attorneys for @realDonaldTrump & Trump himself will not know what Flynn said to Mueller's team. Nor will Trump know what Yates & other witnesses said. If @POTUS lies during interview, Mueller will know.

...An important revelation buried in the new NBC News report on the Mueller probe.

@ThePlumLineGS

There's an important revelation buried in the new @NBCNews report on the Mueller probe.

The WH counsel concluded in "late winter or early spring" that Mike Flynn had lied to FBI.

If so, WH knew this well in advance of Trump firing Comey on May 9.

Flynn Kept FBI Interview Concealed from White House

“A year ago today, Donald Trump’s newly sworn–in national security adviser, Michael Flynn, met privately in his West Wing office with FBI investigators interested in his communications with Russia’s ambassador, without a lawyer or the knowledge of the president and other top White House officials,” NBC News reports.

“Flynn’s FBI interview on Jan. 24, 2017, set in motion an extraordinary sequence of events unparalleled for the first year of a U.S. presidency. A national security adviser was fired after 24 days on the job, an acting attorney general was fired ten days after the president took office, an FBI director was allegedly pressured by the president to let go an investigation into the ousted national security adviser, and then eventually fired.”


Michael Flynn's secret meeting with FBI officials took place just one day after he was sworn in as Trump's national security adviser.
