Mr. Flynn in 2017 pleaded guilty to a single count of lying to FBI agents about conversations he had with Sergey Kislyak, Russia's ambassador to the U.S. Thanks to new documents the feds belatedly turned over to his attorneys, we know the FBI engineered this "Crime." Handwritten notes from former FBI counterintelligence head Bill Priestap, made before the bureau's interview of Mr. Flynn, ask the following: "What is our goal? Truth/Admission, or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?".
The overall evidence paints a scandalous picture: Having labored and abysmally failed in 2016 to build a case that Mr. Flynn was an agent of the Russians, the FBI and Justice Department changed gears-rifling through his communications, inventing a fake crime, and entrapping him on a "Lying" charge.
The latest documents reveal the FBI was officially closing its Flynn case on Jan. 4, 2017.
Remember, the FBI didn't need to ask Mr. Flynn what he'd said to the Russian ambassador; they had a recording.
Then-Director James Comey has previously bragged that the FBI went around the White House legal counsel to make sure Mr. Flynn had no lawyer present.
A document from former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe says that he urged Mr. Flynn to conduct the interview without a lawyer, and that the FBI deliberately dispensed with the admonition altogether.
The FBI expresses no concern that Mr. Flynn was "Colluding" with Russia or otherwise threatening national security-supposedly the rationale for the FBI's intrusive investigation.
