The whole 302's thing needs to end. That's one of the biggest loads of BS I ever heard.
When you're interviewed/interrogated by the police, it gets recorded. Not some BS short-hand notes submitted as the only official record.

Oh, I know about that.
But it really bothers me that this 302 nonsense is standard practice and no one seems to be concerned or even talking about it.

Is this the same judge that ordered the FBI to turn over documents to Flynn’s lawyers even though he pleaded guilty?
The judge presiding over the Michael Flynn case is ordering a review of key FBI documents before deciding on a sentence for the former national security adviser.
Judge Emmet Sullivan wants to review a memo put together on Jan. 24, 2017 by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. He also wants to look at FBI notes from that interview.
Flynn’s lawyers revealed Tuesday that McCabe wrote he urged Flynn to meet with FBI agents without an attorney because it would be the “quickest” way to complete the meeting.
Sullivan’s interest in the documents appears to have been spurred by claims that Flynn’s lawyers made in a court filing submitted Tuesday night.
Pointing to the McCabe memo, they noted that McCabe nudged Flynn toward meeting with the two FBI agents without an attorney present. He wrote that he told Flynn that a two-on-one meeting would be the “quickest” option.
Flynn agreed and said he did not need to involve White House lawyers.
McCabe also wrote in the memo that he and other FBI officials decided before the meeting that Flynn would not be warned ahead of the interview about the penalties of lying to the agents. McCabe noted that “they wanted Flynn to be relaxed” and “were concerned that giving the warnings might adversely affect the rapport.”
Flynn’s lawyers said in Tuesday’s filing that he accepts responsibility for lying to the agents, though it is clear from the document that Flynn takes issue with how his FBI interview came about.

FBI looking even worse today as new revelations come out. They tricked Flynn by intentionally not telling him they were having an "official" interview when chatting with him at the White House. That is how they were able to get this "lying" charge. Even though McCabe and two other agents are on record saying they did not think he was lying. Anyhow, if it had been correctly done as an official interview none of this circus would have happened.
Comey admits decision to send FBI agents to interview Flynn was not standard
Asked to describe how two FBI agents ended up at the White House to interview Flynn in January 2017, Comey, speaking to MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace during a forum discussion Sunday, said flatly: “I sent them.”
Comey went on to acknowledge the way the interview was set up – not through the White House counsel’s office, but arranged directly with Flynn – was not standard practice. He called it “something I probably wouldn't have done or maybe gotten away with in a more … organized administration.”
“These agents went in the White House and had a case with a possible witness of his stature and didn’t write it up until almost eight months later? That is is unconscionable – it’s not fair to the defendant and absolutely goes against FBI policy.”

I think it probably time for Trump to bring in the military and do a forceable accountability procedure to the alphabet agencies. They are corrupted and something must be done.

In this interview Ms. Powell confirms something we have previously presented; Rod Rosenstein authorized Robert Mueller to target Michael Flynn Jr., in order to provide leverage for a Flynn guilty plea.
