Previously withheld FBI documents related to the Agency's case against Gen. Michael Flynn were uncovered this week. On the one hand, exculpatory evidence that had been denied to Flynn's attorneys was revealed. On the other hand, an illegal plot designed to entrap the General was documented.
James Comey, FBI Director at the time these illegal actions were taken, maintains that "these were standard procedures. When the Agency has an opportunity to take down a bad guy, every option to accomplish the job is in play. We brainstormed a few ideas, got the okay on a course of action from President Obama, and proceeded to carry it out. We got within inches from the goal line—we pressured Flynn into entering a guilty plea and would have had him behind bars—but the late substitution of Sidney Powell for his original defense team stopped us short. Still, I believe it was a worthy effort in a good cause."
Meanwhile, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper reiterated his "just following orders defense" by reminding everyone that "we were only doing what President Obama told us to do. We had no choice. He was the Commander-in-Chief. We had a legal obligation to obey."

“No reasonable prosecutor would have ignored the opportunity to entrap an obvious enemy of the state”, Commey said.
Very good, very good, indeed.
