DECADE.
TONIGHT, AND YOUR COST TO
INVESTIGATE THE INVESTIGATORS IN
THE CASE AGAINST MICHAEL FLYNN.
AN EXPLOSIVE NEW COURT FILING ON
BEHALF OF THE PRESIDENT'S FORMER
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR IS
DEMANDING THE FBI SEARCHED ITS
OWN INTERNAL DATABASE FOR
DOCUMENTS RELATING ON FLYNN'S
FATEFUL INTERVIEW AT THE
WHITE HOUSE.
HIS LEGAL TEAM CLAIMING THE FBI
SUBSTANTIALLY MANIPULATED
INTERVIEW NOTES, THE FBI SAYS
ALL THE CHANGES WERE "LARGELY
GRAMMATICAL AND STYLISTIC."
FLYNN PLEADED GUILTY TO LYING TO
FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS, BUT HIS
SENTENCING STILL UP THE AIR
AFTER BEING DELAYED FOR MONTHS.
BREAKING NEWS LATE TONIGHT FOR
THE GOVERNMENT HAS JUST ADMITTED
IT MADE AN ERROR WITH REGARD TO
KEY EVIDENCE IN THE CASE AND THE
INVOLVED PETER STRZOK.
LET'S GO TO THE SOURCE, MICHAEL
FLYNN'S ATTORNEY JOINS US.
SIDNEY, GOOD YOU HAVE YOUR BACK
ON "FOX NEWS @ NIGHT."
>> THANK YOU, SHANNON.
>> Shannon: LET ME ASK YOU
ABOUT THIS LETTER WHERE THE
GOVERNMENT REACHES OUT TO YOU
AND YOU HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT HAND
NOTES, THE GOVERNMENT ADMITTING
THIS, WE IDENTIFY THE NOTES OF
PETER STRZOK'S WERE ACTUALLY THE
OTHER AGENTS NOTES AND WHAT WE
HAD IDENTIFIED AS THE OTHER
AGENTS NOTES WERE IN FACT
STROZK'S NOTES BUT WE UNDERSTAND
THIS IS CAUSING CONFUSION AND WE
REGRET OUR ERROR.
WHY IS THIS SO SIGNIFICANT,
SIDNEY?
>> IT'S A RATHER CRUCIAL POINT
OF THEIR CASE FOR THE ENTIRE
CASE AGAINST MR. FLYNN DEPENDS
ON WHAT THE AGENT SAID THAT HE
SAID IN THE INTERVIEW THAT THEY
DIDN'T WARN HIM ABOUT OR, YOU
KNOW, TAKING IT VERBATIM
RECOVERING
RECORDRING
RECORDINNG
RECORDINGG
RECORDING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO THE ENTIRE CASE DEPENDS ON
WHAT THESE TWO AGENTS SAID.
AND THOUGH WE ARE REALIZING 18
MONTHS LATER THEY ARE LOOKING AT
THEIR FILE AND REALIZING, OH, BY
THE WAY, WE GOT THE NAMES OF THE
TWO AGENTS CROSSED ON THE NOTES?
THE NOTES YOU THOUGHT WERE
MR. STROZK'S THAT WE TOLD YOU
WERE STROZK'S, THEY WERE NOT,
THEY WERE THE OTHER AGENT'S, AND
VICE VERSA?
IT'S APPALLING.
WHAT ELSE HAVE THEY GOTTEN
WRONG.
WE CAN'T TRUST ANYTHING THEY
SAY.
THE MORE REASON WE HAVE TO ASK
JUDGE SULLIVAN TO PRODUCE EVERY
SINGLE DOCUMENT OUT OF THE FDA
FBIFILE, PRODUCE THE ORIGINAL 32
WHICH IS STILL MISSING.
THEY CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT.
THE ONLY WAY IT CAN BE MISSING
IF IT'S AFFIRMATIVELY DESTROYED
AND THERE WOULD BE EVIDENCE OF
THAT, SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF
EXPLAINING TO DO.
>> Shannon: A REMINDER, THREE
OH TWOS ARE THE EVENTUAL REPORTS
ABOUT THE INTERVIEW THAT THEY
HAD WITH SOMEONE LIKE
GENERAL FLYNN IN THE DAYS AFTER
HE HAD TALKED WITH HIM.
"THE HILL" IN AN OPINION PIECE
BY JAMES DAVIDSON, ABOUT ALTERED
FBI INTERVIEW SUMMARIES, THERE
IS UNLIKELY TO BE ANY REVELATION
THAT WILL OVERCOME HIS ADMISSION
UNDER OATH THAT HE DID IN FACT
LIVE.
IS IT YOUR HOPE THAT YOU WILL
UNCOVER SOMETHING THAT IS SUCH A
MISREPRESENTATION OF THE
GOVERNMENT'S CASE OR EXCULPATORY
EVIDENCE THAT WOULD CHANGE
THAT -- HE DID ADMIT TO THESE
THINGS AND MAKE A PLEA DEAL.
>> THERE IS AN EXCELLENT NATION
OF THAT THAT'S IN OUR FILINGS
WHOEVER WROTE THAT STORY
OBVIOUSLY HASN'T READ MOST OF
THE BRIEF THAT IS SO IMPORTANT.
WE KNOW THAT AGENT STROZK
CONDUCTED THE INTERVIEW AT THE
PRETEXT, WE FOUND A TEXT MESSAGE
THE GOVERNMENT DIDN'T PRODUCE
THAT SAID THAT.
>> Shannon: EVEN WITH THAT --
I WANT TO PUT THAT UP SO PEOPLE
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
YOUR FEBRUARY 10TH, 2017.
I BELIEVE THIS IS THE MESSAGE
YOU ARE REFERRING TO.
HE SAID, "I MADE YOUR EDITS AND
SEND THEM TO JOE.
I ALSO EMAILED YOU AN UPDATED
302 BUT NOT ASKING YOU TO EDIT
IT THIS WEEKEND, JUST WANTED TO
SEND IT TO YOU."
THAT'S FROM PETER STRZOK THE
PAGE BUT YOU BELIEVE THAT'S A
DISCUSSION ABOUT THE FLYNN 302?
>> THAT'S A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE
FLYNN 302, INCLUDED AS EXHIBITS
NINE AND TEN OF OUR FILING A
WEEK OR TWO AGO ARE THE CHANGES,
THE MATERIAL CHANGES THAT WERE
MADE ON THE 302 THAT NIGHT.
WE HAVE TIED THEM DIRECTLY TO
THAT EMAIL EXCHANGE.
>> Shannon: SO TO THE FBI'S
POINT, THEY SAY ANY CHANGES WERE
GRAMMATICAL OR THEY WERE
STYLISTIC.
THEY SAY ANY AGGREGATIONS
DELVING ALLEGATIONS OF CONTACT
CHANGES THAT WOULD'VE MADE US UP
THE
>> PEOPLE CAN LOOK AT THE
EXHIBITS FOR THEMSELVES.
IT MAY BE EXHIBITS 11 AND 12,
THEY ADDED A DEFINITIVE
STATEMENT THAT GENERAL FLYNN'S
DID NOT SOMETHING THAT HE HAD
SAID AND ANOTHER STATEMENT THAT
HE HAD ELICITED SOME RESPONSES
TO QUESTIONS ABOUT AMBASSADOR
KISLYAK WHEN HE SAID IN RESPONSE
AND THERE'S NOTHING IN THE NOTES
THAT PURPORT THAT WHATSOEVER.
IT MADE THAT IN WHOLE CLOTH.
I'D ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO LOOK
AT THE EXHIBITS FOR THEMSELVES
AND THE COMPARISON OF THE
FEBRUARY 10 202 WITH THE
FEBRUARY 11 302.
NOBODY COULD POSSIBLY CALL THEM
TO GRAMMATICAL AND STYLISTIC
WHEN YOU ADD WHOLE SENTENCES OUT
OF THIN AIR.
>> DO YOU HAVE HARD EVIDENCE AT
THIS POINT AS TO WHO MADE THE
CHANGES, WHICH CHANGES?
>> NO, WE DO NOT KNOW.
WITHOUT THE METADATA AND AUDIT
TRAIL, WE CANNOT SAY WHO MADE
THE CHANGES OTHER THAN THE TEXT
MESSAGE OF MR. CIRCUMFLEX HE
WENT BACK TO THE OFFICE THAT
NIGHT TO MAKE LISA PAGE'S
CHANGES AND WHATEVER ELSE HE
WANTED TO CHANGE ON HIS OWN.
>> Shannon: ONLY HOPE FOR
THERE WILL BE SOMETHING THAT
WILL OVERTURN THE PLEA DEAL, DO
YOU THINK YOU HAVE THAT MUCH, OR
DO YOU HOPE YOU WILL A MISSING
PIECE?
>> THERE IS FAR MORE THAN ENOUGH
TO OVERTURN THE PLEA DEAL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO GO INTO THE
DETAILS OF THAT NOW, BUT IT
CERTAINLY APPARENT IN OUR MOTION
AND OUR BRIEF OF WHAT THOSE ARE.
BUT I THINK WE ARE GOING TO FIND
EVEN MORE THAT ESTABLISHES THE
WRONGFUL CONDUCT OF THE
GOVERNMENT.
WE WANT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO
SEE THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED HERE IN THE PRETEXTUAL
INVESTIGATION OF GENERAL FLYNN
AND THE MADE OF COMMENTS IN THE
302.
