Plea agreement clause shows Flynn consented to participate in covert law enforcement activities"

[kpete]

The least-noticed sentence in Michael Flynn’s plea agreement with special counsel Robert Mueller may also be the most important one.

Section eight of the deal reached by Donald Trump’s former national security adviser in the inquiry into Russian meddling in the US election is entitled “cooperation”. It specifies that as well as answering questions and submitting to government-administered polygraph tests, Flynn’s cooperation “may include … participating in covert law enforcement activities”.

Long-time students of federal law enforcement practices agreed, speaking anonymously, that “covert law enforcement activities” likely refers to the possibility of wearing a concealed wire or recording telephone conversations with other potential suspects. It is not known whether Flynn has worn a wire at any time.


“If the other subjects of investigation have had any conversations with Flynn during the last few months, that phrase must have all of them shaking in their boots,” said John Flannery, a former federal prosecutor in the southern district of New York

Oh man, I hope he did wear a wire and I hope he had many conversations with the manboy at the top.

Gotta wonder who's not sleeping so well anymore.

I can't imagine however, that anyone would be able to get a wire into the Oval Office or near the President.

The Secret Service is really really good. Getting a metallic broadcasting device near the President or Oval office would require a major screw up on their part.

BUt I imagine he could get other, lesser important people on record.

6. I'm sure you are right, but that technology can be minuscule

You can buy stuff online that is undetectable without some sort of jamming or locating tool. Which I'm sure the SS uses, but Trump is unbelievably stupid.

7. Well it's not about Trump's intelligence

It's about the intelligence of the people protecting him and pursuing him. The SS has access to the same level of recording and recording detection that the CIA and NSA have.

Every intelligence agency in the world would spend billions to get a recording device in the Oval Office.

The only way the FBI would be able to record conversations within the Oval office, would be if the SS and FBI were working together. I wonder - how would the SS react if the FBI came to them asked for such a thing? That's one conversation that we would never hear about.

Quick, get that man into double secret protective custody!
