The newly unearthed internal FBI documents were unsealed Wednesday and expose an explosive plot by top bureau officials under Comey's leadership.
The notes were taken from a meeting where the FBI's top brass discussed their motivations for interviewing then-top Trump Administration official Flynn in the White House in January 2017.
The notes were handwritten by the FBI's former head of counterintelligence Bill Priestap and were taken from a meeting with then-FBI Director Comey and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

As Neon Nettle previously reported, the notes reveal that during their discussion, the FBI leadership openly questioned their "goal" which was "to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired."
"What is our goal?" one of the notes read.
"Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?"
"If we get him to admit to breaking the Logan Act, give facts to DOJ + have them decide," another note read.
Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley called the document's implications "chilling."

The former general reacted with a video post on Twitter, simply featuring the American flag waving in the wind.

President Trump also shared his son Don Jr.’s comments in support of Flynn.
“Imagine having your life and reputation ruined by rogue US govt. officials,” Trump Jr. wrote while sharing the video.
"Then years later when the plot finally comes to light the first thing you do is post an American flag.
"This is the guy they wanted you to believe was a Russian asset."

The president then accused CNN of refusing to cover the story after getting it wrong, blasted the network as “FAKE NEWS.”
“They, along with others, should pay a big price for what they have purposely done to this man & his family,” he wrote.
“They won’t even cover the big breaking news about this scam!”
FAKE NEWS! https://t.co/Y8RwjmJ9D1
