'Devastating Flashback' Shows Comey Bragging About Getting 'Away With' Flynn Set Up

A 2018 video of former FBI Director James Comey is circulating again after the Department of Justice released bombshell documents that appear to show the FBI was planning a perjury trap for President Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

In the clip, MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace asks Comey who went around protocol to send FBI agents directly into the White House to interview the retired general in January 2017.

“I sent them," Comey reveals.

“[S]omething I probably wouldn't have done and maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation,” he added.

Devastating flashback clip of Comey just aired on @marthamaccallum show.

When asked who went around the protocol of going through the WH Counsel’s office and instead decided to send the FBI agents into White House for the Flynn perjury trap, Comey smugly responds “I sent them.”— Elise Stefanik (@EliseStefanik) April 29, 2020

#DrainTheSwamp- @Comey: I sent them something I probably wouldn't have done and maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation… if the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior official you would work through the White House counsel. pic.twitter.com/mrZcNMpVy4— Lou Dobbs (@LouDobbs) December 15, 2018

Typically, the process would have gone through the White House counsel, which Comey explained: “If the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior official, you would work through the White House counsel, and there would be discussions and approvals and who would be there.”

On why he decided to bypass standard protocol, Comey said: “I thought: ‘It’s early enough, let’s just send a couple guys over.’”

The notes released Wednesday were reportedly written by former FBI general counsel James A. Baker and say: "What is our goal? Truth/admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?"

???? DEVELOPING…

Unsealed FBI notes reveal the intent of the FBI’s 1/24/17 interview of Flynn:

“What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute [Flynn] or get him fired?”

If Comey doesn’t spend time in jail, the deep state wins.

The only lesson that the FBI might learn from this is to punish note-takers like this one. The Comey interview was equally damning, though, and ignored. So maybe they don’t need to do anything at all, to continue business as usual.

Devastating? We are in a cold civil war. The division of which is those who follow the news and those who follow the fake news. This will never be revealed to the fake news people.

Flynn has been in limbo for 3.5 years. That’s not justice. Everyone got away with it. Too bad

How is this devastating? Meanwhile on planet Earth, Comey is laughing and Roger Stone is going to prison.

“If Comey doesn’t spend time in jail, the deep state wins.”

That is the perfect binary measure.

Comey, McCabe and Brennan must have sore palms from all the High-Fivin’ they’ve been doing over the last two years.

Where is Comey in all of this? Oh, he’s probably staying at home due to the virus. And he’ll say that was his “prison” sentence which he has served, and doesn’t need serving again for the Flynn case. Besides, if he was really sent to prison they would release him because of the corona virus. This way Weinstein, Avenati and Comey will all be released and.... if I judge rightly, never seen again.

The people I speak with are astoundingly misinformed and virulently angry about it. It is sick. They are on the liberal side of things. Mostly pro abortion but ignorant with a capital I

I don’t mean to be grumpy, but I notice a real trend here at FR to have excerpts just include a couple of sentence. And then those sentences are repeated multiple times.I notice a real trend here at FR to have excerpts just include a couple of sentence.

It says to me that all of government under Obama was politicized and degraded to a banana republic.

We no longer have rule of law.

We have an illusion, not a real Constitutional Republic. You can thank Obama and Company.

This reminds me of Biden’s admission of bribing Ukraine.
