Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) documents unsealed on Wednesday showed that FBI agents strategized on January 24, 2017, before speaking with former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Mike Flynn, about getting him to admit to breaking the Logan Act or getting him to lie so that he could be prosecuted or fired.

According to handwritten notes before a planned FBI interaction with Flynn, an unidentified FBI agent wrote: "What's our goal? Truth/admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?"

The notes showed there was debate that getting Flynn to admit to alleged wrongdoing by showing him evidence was "going easy," versus prosecuting him or getting him fired.

"We regularly show subjects evidence, with the goal of getting them to admit their wrongdoing. I don't see how getting someone to admit their wrongdoing is going easy on them," the agent added.

"If we get him to admit to breaking the Logan Act, give facts to DOJ + have them decide," the agent wrote. "Or if he initially lies, then we present him [redacted] + he admits it, document for DOJ, + let them decide how to address it."
