This is what elections are supposed to be about: a choice of the American people between people and policies. Instead, Flynn was set up—not for a crime, but to get him fired and in a position to help prosecutors snare Trump. They had nothing. They knew they had nothing. They didn’t care. They put their ideological goals above individualized justice. In the Soviet Union, this indifference to individual rights was grandiloquently labeled “class justice.”
It is hard to overstate the damage this has done to the country and the FBI’s reputation. Serious people are flirting with the idea that the FBI should be abolished altogether. In 2016 and 2017, the FBI (along with the NSA and CIA) perpetrated KGB-style interference with an orderly, peaceful transition of power after an election. Contrary to their self-image, they are not the conscience of the nation. They have no role in the “checks and balances” scheme of our political institutions. They are public servants, and they serve the executive branch in spite of their protests of independence.
What happened to Flynn is quite simply an atrocity. Everyone responsible should lose their jobs, if Flynn’s lawyers betrayed their client they should be disbarred, and the whole crew of plotters should be hauled off to jail. And Michael Flynn deserves his job back.
