Flynn’s lawyers say his lie to FBI ‘uncharacteristic’ 3 SHARES Share it! Flynn’s absence from the public eye, despite entreaties from supporters to take an aggressive stance against the Russia investigation, has made him a source of continuing intrigue. But it did provide additional details about the backstory of his FBI interview, including that unlike other defendants in the Russia probe, he wasn’t warned in advance that it was a crime to lie to the FBI. Flynn’s attorneys also noted that two FBI officials involved in the interview have since been investigated for misconduct. The defendants, their fortunes sliding in opposite directions, represent starkly different paths in Mueller’s investigation — a model cooperator on one end and, prosecutors say, a dishonest and resistant witness on the other.
