INTERVIEW – TOM FITTON – President of Judicial Watch – discussed Michael Cohen’s sentencing, entrapment of Michael Flynn and Tom’s testimony before Congress.
- Trump’s ex-attorney Michael Cohen sentenced to three years in prison. (Fox News) – Michael Cohen, the president’s former fixer who once famously claimed he was willing to “take a bullet” for Donald Trump before later turning against his boss, was sentenced to three years in prison Wednesday by a federal judge in New York after pleading guilty to numerous crimes while cooperating with prosecutors. Before sentencing, Cohen ripped into his former boss in federal court, telling the judge he felt it was his duty to cover up the president’s “dirty deeds.” Cohen appeared before U.S. District Judge William Pauley III for sentencing after pleading guilty to campaign finance violations, tax evasion and lying to Congress about Trump’s past business dealings in Russia. He was seen entering the Manhattan courthouse Wednesday accompanied by members of his family. Cohen doesn’t have to report to prison until March 6.
- Flynn should be pardoned: Tom Fitton @TomFitton: Because the inescapable conclusion is that General Flynn didn’t lie. Comey just confirmed last week Flynn showed no signs of lying but corrupt Strzok and other FBI agent concluded Flynn somehow divined “obviously” was lying. More reason for @RealDonaldTrump to pardon Gen. Flynn.
- Flynn was ambushed: Judicial Watch @JudicialWatch: JW President @TomFitton: General Flynn was ambushed. It was a set-up. It was an Obama & Deep State targeting of General Flynn, and Mueller outrageously picked up the ball and ran with it. And when you look at the filing, you can see why it’s corrupt…
- Memo: FBI recommended Michael Flynn not have lawyer present during interview, did not warn of false statement consequences. Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who arranged the bureau’s interview with then-national security adviser Michael Flynn at the White House on Jan. 24, 2017 — the interview that ultimately led to Flynn’s guilty plea on one count of making false statements — suggested Flynn not have a lawyer present at the session, according to newly-filed court documents. In addition, FBI officials, along with the two agents who interviewed Flynn, decided specifically not to warn him that there would be penalties for making false statements because the agents wanted to ensure that Flynn was “relaxed” during the session.
- Tom testifying today on Capitol Hill about Clinton Foundation:
- Tom Fitton @TomFitton: I will testify tomorrow to big House hearing chaired by @MarkMeadows on Clinton Foundation corruption issues. (Not sure if Mr. Huber will be there, too.) @JudicialWatch warned about this issue ten years ago before Clinton was confirmed!
