Missing Flynn document in Mueller file could be a problem in sentencing

A key document from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's latest filing regarding the [former national security adviser] Michael Flynn case could be a problem at Tuesday's scheduled sentencing hearing.

Special counsel has been ordered to turn over all government documents and "memoranda" related to Flynn's questioning by the FBI after his attorneys claimed the agency had discouraged him form having a lawyer present when he was interviewed on January 24, 2017 at the White House. It appears that U.S. District Judge Emmett G. Sullivan is rather miffed over the missing document.

Mueller met Sullivan’s Friday afternoon deadline and provided documents, some of which were heavily redacted.

Mueller's team defended the way the FBI handled the interview with Flynn and claimed that nothing about how it was conducted "caused the defendant to make false statements to the FBI." How they could get into Flynn's mind and know that was the case had not been revealed, but evidently, the FBI has some scary stuff going and can read minds.

The filing in question, known as a "302", [to memorialize interviews] detailed the July 19, 2017 interview with Peter Strzok, the paramour of Lisa Page.

Strzok, who was in the throes of an extra-marital affair with a lawyer for the FBI, Lisa Page (whose affair with Strzok was also extra-marital) was one of two agents performing the interview. It was revealed that Strzok and his paramour were texting each other over their hatred for Trump and Strzok wanted to do something to stop him. Since Flynn worked for Trump, there was no love lost between Strzok and Flynn, in which case the former could direct all his love to Page. Anyway, Flynn described the meeting in the document filed Aug. 22, 2017.

If this sounds confusing, imagine having to go through life with a name that's spelled "Strzok" but pronounced "Schmuck."

But not included in the filing was an original 302 from the period of the January 2017 Flynn interview.

Anyway, we shall see tomorrow whether Flynn is handed down a sentence, walks away a free man, or has a sentencing delay.
