America’s eyes turned to Iraq and Iran over the past few days as President Donald Trump made a bold decision to take out one of the world’s most dangerous terrorists and faced down the Iranian government and their proxies at MSNBC, CNN, the Democratic Congress, and Hollywood.

However, it is another overshadowed story arc that signals an on-going failure of our justice system, and it is this failure that threatens Americans’ basic faith that the federal judicial system is not permanently rigged for the house.

In 2015, Lt. General Michael Flynn made the grievous mistake of becoming a national security advisor to GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, and since then he was targeted by the FBI due to his determination to clean up the nest of vipers that is the National Security Council.

Without rehashing the entire story, when General Flynn became the National Security Advisor to the president in the first days of the Trump administration, the FBI, led by Deputy Director Andrew McCabe conspired to take advantage of the new White House by sending agents to interview Flynn about a conversation he had with the Russian ambassador during the transition period after the election and before the inauguration.
