Former Illinois Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich says he knew the playbook the FBI was running against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn — because they used it on him first.
In an exclusive statement to the Daily Caller, Blagojevich explained that his firsthand knowledge of the way the FBI operated in his case gave him unique insight into the way that Flynn — like so many others in President Donald Trump’s inner circle — was treated in the early days of the Russia investigation.
“In my long and unhappy experience, I saw how they use trickery and deceit as legal tools. They lie and they cheat; they manipulate and minimize evidence; they hide and cover up exculpatory evidence – evidence that proves innocence. And to this day, in my case, they are still covering up tape recordings they made because those tapes show innocence,” Blagojevich told the Caller.
The former governor also said that the prosecution against him had only used about 1% of the recorded phone conversations and the rest had been sealed, a move that prevented him from using the remainder of the recorded calls in his own defense.
This, he said, was eerily similar to the way the documents in Flynn’s case were buried until last week — documents that appeared to show a concerted effort by the FBI to get Flynn to lie, thus giving them leverage over him that they could use to get him fired or to get through him to President Donald Trump.

The FBI was corrupt under J Eager Hoover why would it NOT be corrupt today under Comey and Wray? Furthermore, I do not believe 99% are great. Perhaps 85% is but no more. However, the FBI is just the tip of the iceberg other intelligence agencies are also corrupted. The FBI is/was the federal police force OBAMA promised in his campaign.
The FBI has always had a corrupt component make no mistake about that! Today it is more like the KGB and once it turns on our own citizens politically it should be destroyed completely.
I also worked for the federal government civil service as a pilot. I could write a book about all the waste, pilferage and corruption I saw. People do not realize how bad it really is. There are some good people who want to do right when they first come into government service but that attitude quickly fades once in.
Government is inherently corrupt, all government. The larger the government the more the corruption. As long as this government keeps expanding or even if it just stays the size it is today it will remain corrupt. Draining the swamp is a never ending chore because just like Wray the replacement becomes corrupted soon after entering service. After all director Wray was put there to clean up the FBI and he has done nothing or nearly nothing at least nothing that is visible.
with that said we are screwed big time because the government doesn't know what they are doing.
Reducing the size of government is the only way it will or can ever be streightened out. Nothing else can work. I worked for government for 28 years.
How is he going to do that?
I agree with you I didn't like union anyway.
Bingo! and another thing Obama was in charge of the FBI for 8 years and he doesn't follow the constitution that's the reason I believe the first thing that Donald Trump should have done the first 100 days in office is to put all of the Obama administration on trial because it's going backfire on him and look at everything Donald Trump does the Democrats hate him for it.
I do agree however, hind sight is always 20-20.
I have been spending some time on this. The FBI certainly has been an agent that has inflected a great deal of harm but quoting Q 99% of the work force is loyal to America It the top elite refered to as the 7th floor. All of the 7th floor has been let go with one exception Wray. Trump is using military tactics in his efforts at draining the swamp. I am not military so can't anticipate what he is doing. It is difficult to tell who is a sleeper and who is a turn coat. Time I hope will tell. These are indeed trouble times but I am glad to see some light of day shinning. I think people like O are scared real scared that is why he just came out to endorese Biden. This is just my thoughts on the subject. This is like watching a movie or a big soap opera to see what happens tomorrow. I do know many people are going to have to make decisions concerning being alive or going to jail. Think Hillary anyone?????
So it's the FBI fault for all of this cheos if it is than we should demand that Obama and his administration be put to trial.
