As I noted here on June 30, 2017 Michael Flynn and Andrew McCabe have a past that predates the Trump presidency, one that provides ample motivation for the perjury trap that McCabe and James Comey set up after Flynn’s illegal unmasking. McCabe had a personal grudge against Flynn and the perjury trap was his revenge.
It explains why McCabe would entrap Flynn in a seemingly harmless interview about contacts with Flynn’s Russian counterparts, advising Flynn he didn’t need to bring a lawyer along to complicate things:
The federal judge who will sentence Lt.-Gen. Michael Flynn for lying to the FBI has ordered the FBI to give him, by today, the notes written by the two FBI agents who interviewed Flynn in January 2017.To help cover-up the set-up, it also appears that multiple 302s, or FBI interview summaries, were created:Judge Emmet Sullivan also wants to see a January 24 memo that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe wrote about his own telephone conversation with Flynn, a conversation that happened just two hours before the FBI agents arrived at Flynn's West Wing office.
This follows information in Flynn's sentencing memo to the court, which suggests that Flynn was deliberately set up:
The sentencing memo says at 12:35 p.m. on January 24, 2017, McCabe called Flynn at his West Wing office to discuss a security training session the FBI had recently conducted at the white House. McCabe's written memo detailing that phone conversation says McCabe told Flynn "that we needed to have two of our agents sit down" with Flynn to talk about his communications with Russian officials.
McCabe wrote: "I explained that I thought the quickest way to get this done was to have a conversation between [General Flynn] and the agents only. I further stated that if LTG Flynn wished to include anyone else in the meeting, like the White House Counsel for instance, that I would need to involve the Department of Justice. [General Flynn] stated that this would not be necessary and agreed to meet with the agents without any additional participants.”
The sentencing memorandum reveals for the first time concrete evidence that the FBI created multiple 302 interview summaries of Flynn’s questioning by now-former FBI agent Peter Strzok and a second unnamed agent, reported to be FBI Special Agent Joe Pientka….Indeed, the existence of multiple302s and the seven-month gap lends credence that the Flynn investigation was a set-up motivated in large part by Andrew McCabe’s desire for personal revenge for Flynn’s past actions impacting McCabe at a personal level.While Flynn’s sentencing memorandum methodically laid out the case for a low-level sentence of one-year probation, footnote 23 dropped a bomb, revealing that the agents’ 302 summary of his interview was dated August 22, 2017. As others have already noted, the August 22, 2017 date is a “striking detail” because that puts the 302 report “nearly seven months after the Flynn interview.” When added to facts already known, this revelation takes on a much greater significance.
It has been thought that the unmasking of former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and the opening of an FBI investigation of all things Russia in which Flynn was a prime target was retaliation for Flynn’s drumbeat of criticism of the foreign policy of an Obama administration he once served.
The unmasking of Flynn in the Russia probe may indeed be retaliation against Flynn for perceived political sins, but not for what and by whom you might think if reports from investigative watchdog site Circa News are correct. As Sara A. Carter and John Solomon of Circa News report:

As I watch our gangster low life government tyrants in action, I remain in continuous amazement that more often we don’t read about some of them catching a bullet in the head in a “tragic carjacking gone bad”.
In recent memory Seth Rich is the main one I can think of they’ve murdered.
I’m surprised we don’t see it visited upon the people victimizing innocent people, such as Flynn.
This entire case reinforces the believability that McCabe actually said: “First we F Flynn then we F Trump”. If the FBI had rogue agents planning a soft coup, it wouldn’t look much different, would it?
I (McCabe) further stated that if LTG Flynn wished to include anyone else in the meeting, like the White House Counsel for instance, that I would need to involve the Department of Justice”
Again, we see repeatedly how the DOJ considers itself independent of, and somehow not part of the executive branch. A White House attorney covers the doj in the same manner. We will never have freedom back into this country until some president jerks the chain of DOJ and bring them to heel.
Why do you call them Rogue agents? They seem to be pretty mainstream in FBI culture if you ask me. I haven’t seen anyone from the FBI rise up to counter them.
Anybody willing to do so would find a ready Ally with Trump right at this minute. Time to face facts the FBI is chock-full of these types.
I said “if”. I don’t disagree with you.
You see the Dems are smart. They never admit to anything or say anything without an attorney present. The Dems know how to play the game, that’s why no one from Obama’s Regime were ever implicated in any wrong doing. Flynn should have kept quiet and just kept staring Comey’s favorite lines, I don’t recall, I don’t remember and I forget.
And flynn fell for it. Makes me wonder how he made 3 stars.
The highest levels of the military is a beauty/kiss ass contest.
It's government, ever wonder how Brennan or Comey led agencies? Our government is overflowing with incompetent jerks.
Judge Emmet Sullivan is s sick communists fool that has a limited knowledge of federal law.
Here’s why everyone should be concerned about such conflicts of interest. Bear in mind, that influential ($$$) private individuals will be using some of the date from government surveillance to take properties from neighbors.
Oops...data, that is.

Rule of Lawfare.
“soft coup”....??.....”Rogue agents”.....???
I don't think you're following whats going on here.....
* you’ve attended some of the DC parties too then...
makes me sick....
Can we agree that the Soetoro F_I conspired to keep Trump from being elected, conspired to interfere with Trump setting up his administration, and are screwing with anyone associated with Trump? Can we agree that McCabe acted like the rumored statement, ‘first we F Flynn, then we F Trump’ was likely actually said? Sounds like a coup doesn’t it?
Agreed!.... and yes it does!
