You have to be fucking stupid to claim not to know why FBI/DOJ/Mueller later came to believe Flynn lied. They now know *why* he lied.http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-comey-told-congress-fbi-agents-didnt-think-michael-flynn-lied/article/2648896 …

Congress was in the dark bc FBI wouldn't brief Congress before Exec, but couldn't brief Exec bc you NSA is who you brief. As I note here: https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/02/12/graham-and-grassley-are-seeing-christopher-steeles-ghost-where-mike-flynn-lurks/ …pic.twitter.com/xwDmpAgqM4

I didn't make that "usurp" bit up. Here's Rod Rosenstein's letter justifying the whole thing. https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3711116/White-House-Fires-James-Comey.pdf … But Byron would have you believe that Lynch gave Comey the authority to usurp her power. Dumb.pic.twitter.com/kDQ9WGY125

Anyway, when I said the other day Byron was worth reading it's NOT bc he engages in good faith reporting (like I argue @ChuckRossDC does) but bc the huge holes in his arguments are such tells about where the game goes next.
