After new documents showed that ex-Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was the victim of an FBI entrapment plot, the Department of Justice has filed a motion to dismiss the case. It details a sordid history of overreach and prosecutorial misconduct at the direction of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and other top officials at the FBI. Flynn was forced to plead guilty to bogus “lying to the FBI” charges as a result.
Flynn was targeted over his phone call with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, though the entire FBI counterintelligence probe into collusion was based on a debunked and unverified Democrat-funded opposition research project called the Trump dossier. The DOJ motion makes it quite clear that Flynn should have never been targeted by the FBI, or for any federal investigation since there was no evidence of wrongdoing. There was no evidence of Russian collusion. Yet, the calls he had with Kislyak were leaked to the press. These were classified discussions, but the anti-Trump deep state was getting to work.
Now, we’re learning that the FBI had wiretapped Flynn’s call with Kislyak, never masked his name, and circulated this information throughout the Obama administration. The source of the leaks now points to the J. Edgar Hoover Building. With so much malfeasance, current FBI Director Christopher Wray announced an internal review of this investigation (via Fox News ):
The FBI announced Friday that Director Chris Wray has ordered an internal review of the handling of the bureau’s investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
“FBI Director Christopher Wray today ordered the Bureau’s Inspection Division to conduct an after-action review of the Michael Flynn investigation,” the bureau said in a statement.
The review will be handled by the bureau’s Inspection Division, the FBI said. That division is similar to an internal affairs office in a police department.

Bump!
“The last thing the FBI should be allowed to do is investigate themselves.”
Absof’inglutely!
Could POTUS have military investigate?
Now Wray can deny Senate investigators access to evidence, saying it’s part of an ongoing investigation.
The Horowitz report was released five months ago and was scathing regarding FBI abuse! This investigation should be just about to be completed, not just beginning!
You know what is amazing....
THAT THIS IS ALL NEW TO THE FBI DIRECTOR.
Sure they are. Probably working all weekend on it....
Wray’s onset of depression seems to be happening soon too

Why wait two years? Just write the “Mistakes were made” report right now and be done with it.
some reporter asked Kayleigh if Trump would pardon 0bama or others in the 0bama administration if they were charged with crimes. I had to laugh at that question.
A first step might be if they “found” the thousands of messages between Strzok and Page that the FBI “lost”. A second step would be if they released all copies of the fraudulent 302s used to obtain warrants from the FISA court and to deliberately ruin Gen Flynn’s family, his finances, his life and his reputation. A third step would be if Wray deigns to respond to the Senate Jud. Committee letter to Wray asking for the hidden interviewer of Flynn, Pientka, to appear, a response clown Wray has steadfastly refused to even acknowledge for 3 stinking years.
Not until AFTER the investigation is complete and the report commented upon and accepted, in say 4 or 5 years. [Spit - fire Wray now!]
Yeah but only if it goes to the top of the food chain and include the Kenyan who had a hard on for General Flynn because the General wanted to be much tougher on Islamists.
I won't live long enough to see what the history books have to say about America electing Barak Husein Obama as the first President elected after 911.
It still shatters the imagination.
““FBI Director Christopher Wray today ordered the Bureau’s Inspection Division to conduct an after-action review of the Michael Flynn investigation,” the bureau said in a statement.
“FBI Director Christopher Wray today ordered the Bureau’s Inspection Division to find all the evidence of other set-ups and destroy it,” the bureau said in a statement.
There. Fixed it.”
Director Wray could wrap this investigation up quick by interviewing himself and then arrest himself and and those who he already knows were involved.
Way past time for investigations. There are some people who should sit in jail while we investigate.
leverage the weakest to testify against the strongest.
If President Trump can get government investigations to stop using 302s and go to timestamp videos, it will be one of his greatest accomplishments.
Some agents were lacking in candor....
I grew up respected the FBI. I always held them an awe. Not any more. They are our version of the KGB.
The fox guarding the chicken coop! Now the FBI can do a “review” and find no malfeascence...case closed!
