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.

Just write the “Mistakes were made” report right now

Along with corrective recommendations and the appointment of an outside panel of reliable deep stater who while write a report every two years praising the FBI director on his tireless and proactive approach to implementing the recommended reforms.

“Lacking in candor” — thanks. I was struggling to recall the many euphemisms.

There was also “No reasonable prosecutor”

Time to fire Weisman’s pal Chris Wray and disband the FBI. the FBI has become nothing but political witch hunts. Many of these so called agents couldn’t detect $%^T on their shoe.

If this is a legitimate review (which I doubt), then Wray is only late by the number of days he’s held the office.

Oh no. You never do that. You fess up that mistakes were made, put together a 17 step program entitled "restoring Public Trust in the FBI" and go forward, with a few more bureaucrats on the payroll to track and report on the empty actions taken to implement the empty and meaningless set of recommendations - and the ranks of the deep state will swell further.

Wray started by appointment August 2017. He must nap a lot.
That’s just about 3 years to get to the point of starting a review. Crap.

Why wait two years?

I am trying to teach you how things are done in the swamp. Step one - kick the can down the road. And commissions with deep staters help pay deep state salaries. Get everyone you can in on the game.

Delaying. It's what the folks in the swamp do. By the time any report sees the light of day, no one will care.

Let me guess: “inappropriate behavior”, “overzealous agents” but nothing criminal.

Looks like somebody planted a combat boot up Wray’s tender behind. If not that, he might have been ungently reminded of the sad fate of Edward II of England.

I think its evidence that there might be even a bigger hammer to drop (publicly).
