“Nadler calls for inspector general probe over the DOJ’s Flynn decision”

As the Left’s outrage builds over the DoJ dropping charges against Gen’l Flynn, it begs the question…can they really be that ignorant over basic rule-of-law concepts?

Seriously folks…for cryin’ out loud…

…Jerry Nadler’s the head of the House Judiciary Committee.

In Andy McCarthy’s recent article “Explosive Revelations in the Flynn Case”, that former federal prosecutor lays it out as simply as it can possibly be done, stating…

“This goes to the point I’ve been pressing for years. There was no good-faith basis for an investigation of General Flynn. Under federal law, a false statement made to investigators is not actionable unless it is material. That means it must be pertinent to a matter that is properly under investigation. If the FBI did not have a legitimate investigative basis to interview Flynn, then that fact should have been disclosed as exculpatory information. It would have enabled his counsel to argue that any inaccurate statements he made were immaterial.” (bold, color, and underline emphasis added)

There was never a need for a ‘proper’ investigation – as the incoming team’s National Security Adviser, Gen’l Flynn had every right to communicate with foreign officials.

In the context of ‘Russia bad’ a bogus Flynn investigation was initiated, but just because it was initiated doesn’t mean it was proper…because there were no legal grounds for it.

A matter that’s not properly under investigation makes any/all statements irrelevant.

Simply stated…when there’s no crime, why waste the time? 

Basic rule-of-law principles here, people.
