That is precisely what happened to several individuals as fallout from the "Russian Hoax" investigation by the FBI and the Mueller investigation. One became a convenient target out of desperation of the FBI to obtain a FISA warrant, and the rest were convicted and sent to jail under the process of entrapment during the Mueller investigation. None of those convictions, by the way, had anything to do with Russian collusion.
Carter Page, the FBI's choice to target as a premise for its FISA warrant, is a graduate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD. Various sources reporting on the "Russian Hoax" news over the past few years has revealed that Page at the time he was "fingered" by the FBI as a potential "stooge" for Russia, was a confidential human source for the CIA because of his business dealings in Russia, but the FBI didn't know that until they were later informed by the CIA in an email about it. Might this be why Page was never indicted or convicted of anything?
The others, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, and Roger Stone, were indicted and convicted on process crimes - statements while testifying under oath which conflicted with a previous statement - allowing the investigation team to catch them lying to them and became convicted and sentenced to a prison term. Anyone who knows how being under duress can cause one to mistakenly confuse, or not keep straight, the details of past circumstances or events involved in the case understands this reality.
This reveals the sad state of affairs our federal legal system is using abusively to obtain its "pound of flesh" because of partisan animus towards the others opposing party. Sadly, this is the level to which our political process has evolved to today, thanks mainly to the previous administration's constant divisiveness.
Now, Carter Page is fighting a massive uphill battle to exonerate his reputation through the legal system. Even Dick Morris believes he should. I hope he's got the assets to carry it out to completion.
