More news emerges about the FBI's and CIA's illegal war against Trump

[American Thinker] I have an embarrassing fondness for romance novels, so I know the genres. For decades, one popular genre has had FBI agents as lead characters, whether male or female. In a romance novel, being an FBI agent is shorthand for being intelligent, courageous, and upright.

With the latest revelations about the FBI’s war against Donald Trump, it’s unlikely that any conservative will ever again want to read a romance novel with an FBI hero or heroine. And while CIA agents and DOJ lawyers were never that popular as romantic leads, any romance showcasing them will probably head for the circular file too.

Writing at the Federalist, Margot Cleveland summarizes how recently released documents show that the FBI and DOJ, both during and after Obama’s presidency, went after Michael Flynn, who had honorably served his country for 33 years. The documents expose the machinations behind forcing Flynn to plead guilty to a crime he didn’t commit.

The FBI's and DOJ's c conduct included, but isn’t limited to, plotting how to catch Flynn in a lie, blindsiding him at the White House, hiding from him the transcript of his call with the Russian Ambassador, trying to sneak into the conversation notice to Flynn that lying to the FBI is a felony, illegally changing the interview notes, threatening Flynn's son to get him to plead guilty and then hiding that fact from the court, and withholding exculpatory documents.

Kurt Schlichter highlights that this reprehensible behavior continued with Robert Mueller and his posse:

#1 As I understand it, starting with J. Edgar, FBI routinely played at politics. I guess, Hoover was just smarter than the current breed.

Any "romance" I had with Federal Law Enforcement and the Justice Department ended in 1993.

#6 /\ I'll give this one less than a 5% chance of actually happening.

In the off chance it does happen, please don't forget to ask about the whereabouts of Ms. Katherine Russel Tsarnaev, Ghislaine Maxwell, the Soetoro passports, and if time permits the MLK college transcripts.
