A lawyer for Iranian-American businessman Bijan Kian told a federal court Friday that Kian would never be facing prosecution for an illegal foreign-agent scheme if he was not a business partner of former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Gillis said Kian’s case was serious because the lobbying he engaged in was secretly undertaken at the direction of “high-level officials” in the Turkish government. The hearing of nearly a half hour on Friday morning yielded further confirmation that Flynn has provided information in connection with a variety of ongoing investigations, but there were few details about those probes. Prosecutors had asked the judge to delay Friday’s hearing to allow those investigations to advance further, but Trenga ordered both sides into court anyway.
So what
Hahaha or gee maybe stop hanging around and doing deals with well knowm and indicted crooks?
If he were Flynn's business partner, maybe he should be under investigation. 'Birds of a feather flock together'. 🤣
That argument worked really well for Manafort. Go with that.
Maybe he should have tried hanging out with a better class of criminals
The “And I would’ve got away with it too, if it weren’t for you lousy kids” defence hasn’t worked since it was rolled out in Scooby Doo, but by all means, have at it.
How is that a defense? I’d have gotten away with it if I didn’t partner with deeply dodgy people.
I wouldn’t have robbed the bank if I hadn’t met the guy I robbed the bank with.
Kian crying victim on association with Flynn is laughable. There’s a bunch of turds circling the drain in this WH sewer that even a plunger won’t fix. Time to flush them all out!
isn't this old yet...give us a break..wa wa wa wa wa have some brains u jacka$$ and I do believe it is Mr. General Michael Flynn
Oh well. You play you pay.
Too bad so sad
WTF? All of these people using this argument? “I would not have been caught if I hadn’t been investigated in the first place” uh yes that’s how justice system works!
All the ppl r only prosecuted because they are linked to trump. Everyone knows that. DC just wants to bring down trump.
Scoooooooooooooooooze me, am I missing something here? It's not a crime if I do it on my own, but it is if I'm associated with Flynn, only because Mueller and Co are investigating and Flynn has said yes, so therefore I'm innocent and please drop the charges! Something like that?
How about it's a crime?
Probably true I thought after Nixon and Reagan, politicians may realize corruption doesn't pay But this period has shown me how wrong I was and how accurate Eisenhower's prediction was We do have Aristocrats Oligarchs & DeepState And the populace are Sheeple
He might actually not be wrong, heh.
