"No US federal court has ever accepted a motion to dismiss because of claimed perjury trap.[2] The defense is extremely difficult, because the question that elicited the perjured testimony must be immaterial to the case in which it was asked, and courts construe very broadly what questions count as material to a case."
I know what perjury traps are in principle, I just don't see how this applies. Flynn wasn't tricked, he knew who he was talking to, he just lied to the FBI. That's not a perjury trap, that's just perjury.
Nor would I assert that, but it does mean that it is very unlikely to happen, and unless you can offer any legal reason why Flynn is in a perjury trap imma go with my theory

This doc, using the FOIA redaction codes and the FBI's Court filing: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5629714-Summary-Judgment.html
Tells us that the Steele document's info is still relevent in ongoing investigations - and since Cohen, Flynn, Manafort, GRU, etc, etc are out of the picture now and in Court battles, (some already finished), those investigations have ended. Which now means: The areas of the Steele doc that are focused not on those people, are still in bulk investigation. Damn!
Oh, and the new FOIA'd doc shows us that Steele's sources have been corroborated in the past.
