The belief that Michael Flynn was set up by the FBI has been backed up by a string of evidence in documents released by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Flynn, a former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty in 2017 to one count of lying to the FBI.
