Not yet, they haven't abandoned the case yet. It was put on hold when Sidney Powell, Flynn's lawyer showed that FBI manipulated his 302 transcripts and the FBI replied that they would like to put the case on hold until the IG report is out.
In General Flynn’s case, his lawyer’s latest submission (3 weeks ago) also shows that he didn’t actually lie. FBI attorney Lisa Page edited his testimony and overnight, the testimony went from one thing to something he never said. Then FBI used that manipulates testimony to make him plead guilty because he had to sell his house and he went bankrupt from his past lawyer fees. The judge will most likely throw his case out now after this IG report is out which shows gross misconduct from FBI.
Lisa Page manipulated Flynn's transcripts.
Kevin Clinesmith altered CIA's email to say "Carter Page was not a CIA source" when the opposite was true.
I believe Clinesmith was referred for criminal case by the IG but I don't know if anything happened to Lisa Page.
Hold up, "boisterous storytelling"? Is that the new "boys will be boys"? You make it sound as if Stone was just caught lying about his weight.
Roger Stone was convicted of Witness Tampering, Obstruction of Justice, and lying about the actual subject of the investigation.
To a lesser extent this happened to General Flynn when he was charged, however in his case the Feds made a rare show of pseudo-apology and abandoned the case.
Richard Jewell is a famous example of naive talking (not even lying) being used against him - there's a Clint Eastwood releasing this weekend about his case.
Regardless of which political side you prefer, these tools of circular prosecution have and will be used against anyone when anything ranging from a media frenzy, to executive pressure, to a couple ambitious agents deems it warranted.
