General Michael Flynn is the lynchpin to a massively explosive bit of government malfeasance that, if publicly acknowledged, could bring the entire corrupt system crashing in on itself.
You see, Flynn was one of the first targets of Robert Mueller’s RussiaGate investigation, and exposing the probe into Flynn as a ruse could bring the entire house of cards crashing down.
Today, a handwritten note from the FBI may represent the metaphorical lighting of the fuse.
Explosive new internal FBI documents unsealed Wednesday show that top bureau officials discussed their motivations for interviewing then-national security adviser Michael Flynn in the White House in January 2017 — and openly questioned if their “goal” was “to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired.”
The handwritten notes — written by the FBI’s former head of counterintelligence Bill Priestap after a meeting with then-FBI Director James Comey and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Fox News is told — further suggested that agents planned in the alternative to get Flynn “to admit to breaking the Logan Act.”
The Logan Act is an obscure statute that has never been used in a criminal prosecution; enacted in 1799 in an era before telephones, it was intended to prevent individuals from falsely claiming to represent the United States government abroad.
“What is our goal?” one of the notes read. “Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”
“If we get him to admit to breaking the Logan Act, give facts to DOJ + have them decide,” another note read. Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley called the document’s implications “chilling.”
From here, further exoneration of Michael Flynn could be coming, as teased by his lawyers earlier this week.
