Fear of embarrassment, arrogance (not having legal counsel present), or ignorance (not realizing that it was a hostile interview with the FBI, rather than information gathering).
Those charges aren't the end goal of a serious investigation. Papadopoulos, for example served 12 days in jail. Flynn was pardoned and served zero. They are just a pressure tactic to try to convince low-level people to provide information or testimony. The fact that they cite those convictions as crowning achievements of their investigation means that they utterly failed in accomplishing their goal.
- kadoban 3y ago> Flynn was pardoned and served zero. Being pardoned by your co-conspirator doesn't exactly scream innocence. > The fact that they cite those convictions as crowning achievements of their investigation means that they utterly failed in accomplishing their goal. Yeah, wonder why it failed. Almost like there was a corrupt criminal with pardon powers who told everyone to lie or clam up.
- adrr 3y agoThere’s more. Russians were talking with Trump kids from emails released and even tweets from his kids admitting to talking with them. Mueller never too bothered to put any of Trumps family in front of grand jury or prosecute the campaign finance violations they uncovered. It was a fake investigation to trick the American public.
- kadoban 3y agoYeah, that's a good point. Mueller investigated only the dumbest possible theory really. And then what crimes he did find for Trump, he refused to state right out on the even dumber theory that the President is above the law.
