FBI discussed interviewing Michael Flynn 'to get him to lie' and 'get him fired,' handwritten notes show

 

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 indicated that their "goal" was "to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired."

The handwritten notes – belonging to former FBI general counsel James A. Baker, Fox News is told – indicated that agents planned to get Flynn “to admit to breaking the Logan Act” and catch him in a lie. The Logan Act is an obscure statute that has never been used in a criminal prosecution; enacted in 1799, it was intended to prevent individuals from falsely claiming to represent the United States abroad.

The bombshell documents strongly suggested the agents weren't truly concerned about Flynn's contacts with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, except as a pretext. President Obama had personally warned the Trump administration against hiring Flynn, and made clear he was "not a fan," according to multiple officials. Obama fired Flynn as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014.

The Justice Department turned over the documents just this week, even though a February 2018 standing order in the case required the government to turn over any exculpatory materials in its possession that pertained to Flynn.
