amiability. it matters because the theory of the case is man this flynn is sneaky. he's just a lying, sneaky, manipulative -- not here. not here he wasn't. he let them into the office. he didn't have his own lawyer present, wants to show them around the office. they don't warn him of the penalties. would he know them? of course, he's a savvy guy. but they didn't for feel, keep him comfortable. it's going to matter in the sentencing, i promise you that. prior to the fbi's interview of mr. flynn, mr. mccabe and other fbi officials decided the agents would not warn flynn it was a crime to lie during an fbi interview because they wanted flynn to be relaxed, and they were concerned that giving the warnings might adversely affect the reporting. no kidding. that's what one of the agents reported. before the interview fbi officials also decided if flynn said he did not remember something they knew he said, they would use the exact words flynn used to try to refresh his recollection. that's not unusual.
