A 2018 video of former FBI Director James Comey is circulating again after the Department of Justice released bombshell documents that appear to show the FBI was planning a perjury trap for President Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
In the clip, MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace asks Comey who went around protocol to send FBI agents directly into the White House to interview the retired general in January 2017.
“I sent them," Comey reveals.
“[S]omething I probably wouldn't have done and maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation,” he added.
Devastating flashback clip of Comey just aired on @marthamaccallum show.
When asked who went around the protocol of going through the WH Counsel’s office and instead decided to send the FBI agents into White House for the Flynn perjury trap, Comey smugly responds “I sent them.”— Elise Stefanik (@EliseStefanik) April 29, 2020
#DrainTheSwamp- @Comey: I sent them something I probably wouldn't have done and maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation… if the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior official you would work through the White House counsel. pic.twitter.com/mrZcNMpVy4— Lou Dobbs (@LouDobbs) December 15, 2018
Typically, the process would have gone through the White House counsel, which Comey explained: “If the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior official, you would work through the White House counsel, and there would be discussions and approvals and who would be there.”
On why he decided to bypass standard protocol, Comey said: “I thought: ‘It’s early enough, let’s just send a couple guys over.’”
The notes released Wednesday were reportedly written by former FBI general counsel James A. Baker and say: "What is our goal? Truth/admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?"
???? DEVELOPING…
Unsealed FBI notes reveal the intent of the FBI’s 1/24/17 interview of Flynn:
“What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute [Flynn] or get him fired?”

Both Obama and Biden were in the room as part of the team instructing Comey to go tell Trump of the pee pee dossier and the Russian allegations.
The investigation could really get rolling if Priestap were put in a chair and Vice Grips were part of the questioning process.
Five years for perjury and fraud, five or six for obstruction of justice.
No limitation for treason.
Doesn’t apply to espionage.
I think you’re wrong, and you will know it within the next several weeks.
The cure for the Comey Virus: bleach injection.
If you are correct, I will never be happier about being wrong about anything in my entire life. And will owe you a virtual coffee.
