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.

I just have no faith in the FBI to investigate themselves.
I also view Wray as part of the swamp. And lastly, this probably won’t be complete before the election.

We already know what the funding will be.
1. Everything was done “by the book”.
2. FBI personnel conducted themselves professionally and without bias.
3. One clerk has been reassigned to East Gypip for misfiling a 302.
This concludes our findings. Have a nice day.

The Navy is ruthless in dealing with their own. Let them investigate the FBI.

Have Hannity send over the names of the 99% good agents. They know what went down (but decided to play along).

Who cares? This institution has irreparably broken its charter and faith with the American people. It is a rouge political national secret police complete with star chamber FISA courts. It is a known criminal enterprise with an anti conservative bias thus many Americans are no longer going to cooperate with them.

The FBI is America's Stassi and needs to be shutdown.

If you are lucky, 10-20% of the agents in the field are top notch. 95% of the folks in FBI HQs in DC are a deepstate waste of time and money as are 80% of the management and supervisory adminstratorcrats everywhere in the system.

That reporter was Chanel Rion of OAN. She’s terrific!

She had a 3-part series with Guiliani regarding the truth about Biden and Ukraine.

The snots at the White House Correspondents Organization refuse to let Chanel sit with them, so Sarah Sanders and now Kayleigh give her special invitation, so she stands in the back of the room by herself.

Both Sarah and Kayleigh make certain to call on her, and she always has a provacative question.

“The last thing the FBI should be allowed to do is investigate themselves.”

There’s no reason they shouldn’t be allowed to investigate themselves. They should have that opportunity to either redeem of damn themselves.

The problem lies only in letting any self-investigation ever be the final / authoritative word on any such matter—although that is what typically happens whenever the government is accused of wrongdoing (assuming the accusation even results in any investigation at all.)

I can't think of anything more nauseating than a Chris Wray review.
