"It's All a Fraud": Deceptive Edits Found in Mueller Report

By Tyler Durden / ZeroHedge

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) on Saturday called for the immediate release of “all backup and source information” for the Mueller report after internet sleuth @almostjingo (Rosie Memos) discovered that the special counsel’s office deceptively edited content which was then cited as evidence of possible obstruction. 

“It’s all a fraud” tweeted Nunes, replying to a tweet by @JohnWHuber (Undercover Huber), who also posted a comparison between the Mueller report and a newly released transcript of a November 2017 voicemail message left by former Trump lawyer John Dowd, in which he asked former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s attorney for a “heads up” if Flynn was planning on saying anything that might damage the president. 

Mueller’s team omitted key context suggesting that Dowd was trying to strongarm Flynn and possibly obstruct justice by shaping witness testimony, while the actual voicemail reveals that Dowd was careful not to tread into obstruction territory in what was a friendly and routine call between lawyers.

This is why we need all backup and source documentation for the #muellerdossier released publicly. It’s all a fraud…

LEFT: Mueller report

RIGHT: Full transcript released today per court order

Mueller’s hacks removed that Dowd wanted a heads up “not only for the president, but for the country” and wasn’t asking for “any confidential information”

Dowd qualifies his request by saying “without you having to give up any…confidential information” in order to determine “If, on the other hand, we have, there’s information that…implicates the President, then we’ve got a national security issue, or maybe a national security issue, I don’t know… some issue, we got to-we got to deal with, not only for the President but for the country.”

Once again #MuellerReport edited messages to make them appear more damaging, full transcript of this phone call reveals Dowd’s message was pretty typical for a lawyer and he clearly states he’s not interested in any confidential info. What else did they manipulate

2:37 PM – May 31, 2019

Mueller’s deceptive edits beg the question; what else may have been manipulated by the special counsel to make Trump look guilty? When reached for comment by attorney ‘Techno Fog’ (@Techno_Fog), Dowd said of the edits: “It is unfair and despicable. It was a friendly  privileged call between counsel – with NO conflict. I think Flynn got screwed.”

EXCLUSIVE

We got a statement from former Trump lawyer John Dowd, responding to the Special Counsel’s deceptive edits of his voicemail to Flynn’s lawyer

“It is unfair and despicable. It was a friendly privileged call between counsel – with NO conflict. I think Flynn got screwed”

4:31 PM – May 31, 2019

Dowd told Fox News: “During the joint defense relationship, counsel for the president provided to Flynn’s counsel documents, advice and encouragement to provide to SC [the special counsel] as part of his effort to cooperate with the SC,” adding “SC never raised or questioned the president’s counsel about these allegations despite numerous opportunities to do so.“

Flynn pleaded guilty last year to lying to the FBI about contacts with Russians and is currently awaiting sentencing.

DOJ stonewalls on Flynn evidence

Meanwhile, the Justice Department has resisted a court order to release the transcripts of Flynn’s conversations with Russian officials, including former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

This raises at least two questions. First, did the DOJ give Flynn the transcripts? And second, did the DOJ violate a previous court order from Judge Emmett Sullivan to produce evidence during discovery?

Replying to @Techno_Fog

Note – per competing Orders, still not certain if Judge Sullivan will require all audio recording transcripts be filed with court. DOJ seems to read the orders that he doesn’t need them.https://twitter.com/Techno_Fog/status/1129416066382336000 …

Techno Fog@Techno_Fog

New entry from Judge Sullivan on the Flynn case.

Read closely at the dates and omissions – could be a change to his prior order that the gov’t file “the transcripts of any other audio recordings of Mr. Flynn”

Techno Fog@Techno_Fog

Note that the 5/16 Order required the production of “the transcripts of any other audio recordings of Mr. Flynn, including, but not limited to, audio recordings of Mr. Flynn’s conversations with Russian officials”

Compliance may be an issue. Awaiting Judge response…

Re: Flynn

Based on the DOJ ignoring the Court order to file the Russian Ambassador call transcript – I’m assuming they didn’t provide it to Flynn’s team.

That could also be a violation of the Court’s discovery order (linked below).https://www.scribd.com/document/412148680/Flynn-Judge-Sullivan-Standing-Order-Re-Discovery …

In particular, note these parts of Judge Sullivan’s prior 2/2018 Order:

“Due process requires disclosure of “evidence [that] is material either to guilt or to punishment” upon request”

Could there be exculpatory evidence in the transcript that Flynn’s team never received?
