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.

It’s a whitewash. The last thing the FBI should be allowed to do is investigate themselves.

There. Fixed it.

After Evidence of Gross Misconduct was Exposed

Not after everyone already knew it was going on. Wait until it goes public and then go into CYA mode. I don't know why he doesn't just appoint a bipartisan blue ribbon commission with a preliminary report due in two years. Kick that can hard.

Fire Wray NOW!

” FBI Says They’re Reviewing Michael Flynn Case After Evidence of Gross Misconduct was Exposed” Is that a headline or a punchline?

Lets see if they ever find the original 302s. that will tell the entire story of whether there is any seriousness to the review.

A few loose ends they need to make sure are buried for good, no doubt.

Wray is going to do something useful?

Hard to believe. We all know what he will find — NOTHING.

I am forced to agree.

As I suggested on another thread, I would look to the Secret Service or a task force drawn from the NCIS, the Army CID, and the Air Force OSI to carry this out.

in a memo to himself sent just today, Ray says that Trump asked him to do “everything by the book” and see to it that no one gets fired or loses their pensions.

Yes they’re investigating who exposed it in the hope they can prevent that in the future

This: “Flynn was targeted over his phone call with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak...”
\
isn’t even half of the story IMO. That is only the tip of the iceberg. There are probably at least 50 instances of Flynn being illegally surveilled. We will never get to the bottom of it. But there is surely conclusive evidence out there.
Just think if a genuine Special Counsel was appointed and given the amounts of resources and support that Mueller/Weissman had. I wonder if there is anyone out there tough enough and brave enough to take that job.
