BREAKING: FBI Says They're Reviewing Michael Flynn Case After Evidence of Gross Misconduct was Exposed
Townhall.com ^ | May 22, 2020 | Matt Vespa

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.

Interesting this is released by the FBI on Friday before the long Memorial Day weekend. Wray was recommended by Rosenstein & Sessions to replace the fired James Comey.
He has this fleshy smirky appearance that I don't trust ... in addition to being recommended by Rosenstein & Sessions. My thinking, if Trump is re-elected Wray will be gone ... Trump will dump him early on in his second term.

I don’t expect much will come of this.


Oct 2, 2020 (CNN) FBI Director Wray is suggesting more training courses for agents after a review of the Flynn case......

Yeah, to make sure that they didn’t miss anything that needs further cover-up.

They aren't called FamousButIncompetent for nothing. It took whem more than 4 years to find their way out ofthe building. I beleive they MUST come out of DOJ, have an effective IG AND be subject to review and investigation by at least two outside Agencies or this WILL happen again.

I think Wray will be the first one gone after Trump is re-elected. Hopefully, we will have the House and Senate too.

It should be far too late to save Wray’s job. He sat on obvious malfeasance for years until he was FORCED to finally make a show of doing something about it.

Fire his azz

I'm torn (for now)...now that the info has been garnered and protected, I feel safer about him doing an internal - can't put that toothpaste back in a tube and destroy it now.

Unless he gets some folks to come forward and finish opening the can of worms, I will go with the crew that says it's just a CYA cover-up...even though his "A" wasn't involved in the original malfeasance.

Now Wray can deny Senate investigators access to evidence, saying it’s part of an ongoing investigation.

Bingo.

Trump is a gullible cretin. Can anyone name a single top appointment he has made since becoming President who wasn't a full-fledged Swampie or completely neutered/compromised?

This is laughable. Wray should be charged as an accomplice at this point. A review? Why? So he can trot over to Congress with a feel-good report that says he’s changing policies to make sure it never happens again. Hardy, har, har.
