An FBI official who served on Robert Mueller’s team said he believed the special counsel’s prosecution of former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn was part of an attitude to “get Trump,” and that he did not wish to pursue a Trump-Russia collusion investigation as it was “not there" and considered it to be a "dead end."

FBI agent William J. Barnett made the comments during an interview on Sept. 17 at the Justice Department, before Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Jeffrey Jensen, who was tapped by Attorney General Bill Barr to review the case against Flynn. Jensen has joined U.S. Attorney John Durham’s team in his review of the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. Those comments have surfaced in new government documents.

If you read the 302 available on theConservativeTreeHouse.com you see that he tried several times to get off the investigation. And, he recommended on several times that the investigation be closed. AND, he questioned the predication of the entire investigation with his superiors. But, the senior FBI lawyers said to keep going.

Slap my face and call me spanky! You don’t say!/s

[Raebie]

How much of this would be coming out if Sullivan hadn’t refused to drop the Flynn case?

[Lagmeister]

I read the document regarding Barnett. He was interviewed only last week. The information is devastating... but expect nothing out of it. Note too: Barnett didn’t wipe his phone so this information is quite credible.

[Eleutheria5]

There is a g-man who remains honest. Yes, Virginia.

He was interviewed only last week.

Why now? So late?

[gcparent]

Why did they only interview him last week? How did he keep them from destroying his phone?

[TakebackGOP]

I’m happy Jeff Sessions lost.

[Lagmeister]

I have no answers. Like a lot of folks, I just keep finding this depressing information that - at this time - most assuredly will go nowhere.

[Lagmeister]

He kept possession of it while the others joked about wiping theirs.

[gcparent]

That’s good. Glad someone is being honest
But the timing. Why didn’t he come forward.

[gcparent]

It is disheartening. Meanwhile, Flynn twists in the wind. Shame on those judges that allowed this to continue.

[gcparent]

Me too. He didnt deserve his seat back. Trumps worst hire. The danage Sessions caused.

Why did they only interview him last week? How did he keep them from destroying his phone?

***********************************************

I’m guessing it’s because Flynn is due in court on the 29th and this will be presented to the judge in his case to dismiss. As for the phone, it’s pretty obvious he wasn’t playing along with them.
