From the looks of things Grassley has not read the indictments,
Flynn Indictment
Because he did far more then just lie on that one interview Grassley is being cagey about.
Then let the 302 back it up. Let's see what the indictment was actually based on.
Keep up here sparky... this isn't rocket science, after all.
Grassley is trying to see why the indictment says that Flynn lied about something when even the agents who ambushed Flynn with an "interview" didn't think he was lying.
If what Grassley says is true then the 302s showing they didnt think he was being deceitful during the interview doesnt change the fact that he indeed lied. Being a good liar doesnt change the fact that he lied. Here is the indictment again so you can read exactly what he lied about.

The 302s are just notes on an interview aren't they? Not supposed to be a transcript.

emphasis mine
What is a 302?
FBI form FD-302 has space to list the name of the agents, the date of the interview, the name of the interviewee, the place of the interview and so forth. Then it allows the agent to draft a memo—in paragraph form—of what the witness said. It can be one page long or twenty pages long, depending on the length of the interview.
The memo section of a 302 is the key part. This is a combination of what the agent was able to write down during the interview and his recollection. It may list the questions and the answers or simply be a narrative of what the witness said.
The witness generally doesn’t see the 302 or get a chance to correct any mistakes he thinks are in it before it is finalized.
Fourth, there’s no requirement that the FBI agent write down everything the witness says or that the agent take any notes at all. There’s nothing to prevent the agent from stopping the note-taking if the witness says something helpful to the target of the investigation. Because it’s nearly impossible to obtain the handwritten notes underlying a 302 during discovery, the FBI is not concerned that anyone can prove a conflict between the notes and the final 302 anyway.
You may be wondering why the FBI doesn’t simply record every interview, given all the issues I’ve described. That would fix the problem, right? No one could dispute what was asked or what the witness answered.
The reason is that the official DOJ policy is not to record witness interviews. A 2006 FBI memorandum explained that recording interviews would impede the FBI’s ability to successfully question witnesses. (Why this is absurd is a topic for another day.)

I'm pretty sure nothing I do helps or hurts trump.
The rest of that is conspiracy theory 101. Govt control us. But some of us are special and see through the cabal agenda because we're awake and see the truth while the rest of you are sleeping or sheeping I'm never sure. Blah blah.

But you don't know he did... you are relying on the word of obviously partisan hacks in the FBI who had an agenda.
Now I know, I know... if it's a Progressive agenda then it's fine with you.
By Any Means Necessary, of course.
