““Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.”” -

Flynn was targeted because he was Flynn, Trump’s advisor. There was no other reason. They were not investigating the a crime. They were investigating a man, sifting through his life to see what arcane tax law or other federal law they could have him violating. Probably half of America could be prosecuted in this manner.
The FBI is not a political formation and should be regarded as just another secret police as we have seen in other countries.

I’d say more like 100% if they’re really after you. If they can’t find anything they’ll fabricate it.

After BHO administration, what has been revealed about the FBI, DOJ, even certain media and US Senators as pigeons and participants,...your observation appears right on. There is a reason TWO agents were sent to interview Flynn, with out recording. TWO “witnesses” coordinating/fabricating the story they want to tell and preserve in written form will be considered irrefutably credible over the complaints of the charged defendant.
Flynn was only doing what he saw busloads of other well dressed, uncharged lying people still walking around DC do. At worst, he was one of them, except he wasn’t. Once he associated himself with a duly-elected President who had no allegiance to the power structure (aka the swamp), and was openly hostile to its corruption - he became an important pawn in the effort to oust Trump. Control-freak BHO sent the secret police out to Flynn ... yes, you hit the head on the nail this time.
