Gen. Flynn, Pres-elect Trump’s national security adviser, didn’t stand a chance.

(FBI handwritten note, before interview: “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?”)

As many wade through the warm waters of recent negative FBI practices, they seem to be fixed on the fact that Gen. Flynn was being set up in order to get him fired by Trump.

Or the fact that he was coerced into pleading guilty to a non-crime to protect his son the FBI threatened to harass and prosecute, apparently in a lawless,unjustifiable fashion.

What everyone misses is how wide-spread the FBI practices were, as a standard…by the very nature of the notes an agent wrote, asking which objective was their target.

‘What is our goal’? That’s a clear admission of everyday unlawful practice. Wide scale abuse of power – under ‘color of law’ – that is criminal by every standard we live by.

This shouldn’t be just about how Gen. Flynn was mistreated…

…it’s about the FBI’s widespread practice of unlawful coercion and false prosecution.
