While much has been written about the entrapment of Michael Flynn by the ethically challenged Andrew McCabe and his accomplice Peter Strzok, little discussion has been devoted to the constitutionally dubious federal law under which he was charged.
Former FBI Director James Comey recently bragged to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace that he personally made the decision to send the two agents to "Interview" Flynn.
The same judge who was so angered by Mueller's grotesque mismanagement of the Stevens case will now decide what punishment, if any, Flynn will receive for being less than forthcoming during what he was led to believe was just an informal discussion.
Judge Sullivan probably smells a rat in the Flynn case.
His request for additional records from Mueller, including those relating to the January 2017 FBI interview, may mean he suspects Flynn was tricked into pleading guilty to violating the Federal False Statements Act.
Sullivan is all too aware of Mueller's malleable ethics, has zero patience with prosecutorial chicanery, and is certainly familiar with the potential abuses of the statute Flynn allegedly violated.
Which brings us back to Justice Ginsburg's concern about manufacturing crimes: Is this law worth the human cost - it has ruined Flynn - and the price paid by the taxpayers to persecute American citizens? Nope.
