      People may be overconfident that the judge is going to simply go along with this. Prosecutorial discretion gets wide berth in charging decisions, but here the court is involved. It took a sworn admission of guilt. Maybe I'm alone here, but I'm not so sure the judge signs off.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1259223916398206976 …

      We agree that your piece does not even attempt to identify a predicate criminal offense, which was the point in my original Tweet that you attempted to quarrel with. Meanwhile, you're ignoring my actual argument: https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/05/ending-the-flynn-false-statement-case-was-the-right-judgment/ … https://twitter.com/Susan_Hennessey/status/1259220259321634817 …

      Go along with what, a proposed change to 1001? Judges don't get to decide that.

      Go along with the decision to drop this case.

      Which is not the subject that led to her arguing with me.

      True; the subject that led to her arguing with you is your refusal to acknowledge the counterintelligence predicate for the interview.

      It was her failure to read the tweet.

      I'm going to end the discussion because I have learned to recognize when you are ignoring something and it's happening here. You aren't going to address the counterintelligence predicate, we both know it, and you will continue to talk about something else.

      Whereas you are ignoring the fact that the intel predicate is irrelevant to the 'proposal' as Popehat framed it & I was discussing.

      Patterico Retweeted Dan McLaughlin

      I already read your piece, twice now. I am not interested in the proposal. I'm interested in addressing your tweet falsely claiming that the only rationale the FBI had for the interview was the Logan Act. That is false, and you should admit it. You won't.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1259219769007407105 …

      Patterico added,

      Dan McLaughlinVerified account @baseballcrank
      The latter was the original theory for investigating Flynn, but the FBI had run out of arguments to keep it going, which is why it fell back on the never-enforced Logan Act as the fig leaf for the interview. Both theories raise serious Qs going forward. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/05/ending-the-flynn-false-statement-case-was-the-right-judgment/ … https://twitter.com/Susan_Hennessey/status/1259217696039862273 …

      My article explained why I think they were stretching to claim that they should continue a counterintel investigation in that situation; the fact that they were citing the Logan Act is proof of what a stretch it was at that point. You can keep pretending I've not discussed it.

          Your article and tweet suggest that citation of the Logan Act shows they had run out of reasons to investigate the counterintelligence angle. @Susan_Hennessey's piece shows they had not. Screenshot #1 is amply refuted by screenshot #2.pic.twitter.com/OAwcvPsf23

          And this tweet is very likely to be replied to by reference to some irrelevancy to *this* discussion, such as "we were talking about the 1001 proposal" or whatever. Shock me by actually replying to the argument Susan made. If you don't, I'm out.

          An FBI with confident counterintelligence justification would not have been dabbling in Logan Act nonsense. The appearance of that in the notes gives the game away that they were grasping.
