aka....Comey should have kept is mouth shut....”I wouldn’t have gotten away with it”....
They treated Flynn like he was a subject of investigation (which the FBI clearly knew he was because they already had surveillance information on him, the ‘transcripts’). Clearly the FBI engaged in illegal conduct.
FBI could not get away with this with even a mafia suspect.
Shades of Richard Jewell?
“As part of another investigation, we’d like you to read this script admitting to planting a bomb”.
Really, Comey openly boasts that he violated standard DOJ and FBI protocols, and took advantage of a brand new administration in its very first few days ... and contrary to Comey’s b.s. about previous admins., any WH in its first week in office might have been caught up in something similar in the past, IF the FBI had been so unscrupulous as to attempt to bring down a top new official in the past in the same way.
