a short video posted by Flynn which the retired Army lieutenant general and former Defense Intelligence Agency chief appeared to have filmed himself, showing an American flag fluttering above a lush green, hilly landscape.
The four pages of documents, provided to Flynn’s defense attorneys last week, have been seized upon by the president’s defenders and his allies in conservative media in a continued effort to paint the investigation of Flynn and the far-reaching Russia probe as an excessive, politically motivated ambush on the White House by federal law enforcement officers.

The notes also reflect deliberation about whether confronting Flynn with a lie in real time would be helpful to the FBI’s investigation. “What is our goal? Truth/admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” the notes read.
