White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders underscored the defense that conservatives and Trump allies have embraced in recent days about former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn: that he was “ambushed” by the FBI when they questioned him about his contacts with Russians after the election.
“We’re arguing that he was certainly ambushed and the FBI, that we know had clear political bias, we’ve seen that time and time again,” she told Fox News Tuesday. “One thing we’re 100 percent sure on is that the President made the right decision in firing James Comey.”
While Flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, and is set to be sentenced for those crimes on Tuesday, his lawyers have maintained in recent days that Flynn only lied to the FBI because he was caught off-guard by their questioning.

Which is still lying. Still.
It’s a clear case of entrapment. They asked him a question, thereby forcing him to lie to cover up for himself and his boss. This sort of heavy-handed law-enforcement technique should be banned.
