On Friday May 11, 2018, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein stating Comey testified the FBI didn’t think General Flynn lied. Grassley also revealed Joe Pientka was the second FBI agent who joined Peter Strzok on January 24th, 2017 in an ambush style interview to take down General Flynn.
Grassley demanded the FBI and DOJ produce the transcript of Flynn’s intercepted calls with Russian Ambassador Kislyak and the related 302’s by May 25th. (302’s are reports FBI agents take to summarize an interview with a subject.)
The recently unredacted portion of the House Intel report revealed Comey testified to House Intel members the FBI agents who ambushed Flynn did not detect any deception. The report also revealed the illegal leak of Flynn’s phone call with Kislyak is what allowed the FBI/DOJ to keep a counterintel operation open on General Flynn.
Chairman Grassley is demanding answers from the FBI and DOJ by this Friday the 25th.
In the last paragraph of Grassley’s letter, he requests Special Agent Joe Pientka be available for a transcribed interview with Committee staff:
Accordingly, no later than May 25, 2018, please provide: 1. The information requested in our February 15, 2017 letter, including the transcripts of the reportedly intercepted calls and any FBI reports summarizing them; and 2. The FBI agents’ 302s memorializing their interview of Flynn and 1A supporting docs, including the agents’ notes.
In addition, please make Special Agent Joe Pientka available for a transcribed interview with Committee staff no later than one week following the production of the requested documents.

Get back to me when they testify in court and rat out McCabe, Strzok, and Comey.
And then I see McCabe, Strzok, and Comey arrested, tried, and convicted.
Until it happens it didn't happen.
I'm long past the 'IT'S HAPPENING!' hype.
PRyno wants to squeeze amnasty in first.
BOMBSHELL.
BOOM.
Tick Tock.
Nothing but click bait.
Gotta admit, he had me openly laughing about this on my way home today. I trust his take on this stuff, he hasn’t been wrong yet.
He’s a smart guy.
I'm, not a legal scholar but I thought you only needed to subpoena a witness if there is concern they will not show up at a trial/hearing. If they show up willingly after being requested to, I don't know why they'd need to be subpoenaed. That would seem like a waste of time, resources etc...
Their little coup/coverup is coming apart at the seams.
I would like to see some good guys in the FIBs and CYA but i really doubt it. the corrupt crap needs to go. all of it. start over.
I’m tired of headlines about stuff that may or may not happen.
I agree. They are rotten from the head down. There are good people at the FBI, CIA, and DOJ, I am sure, but the leadership was scum.
Rotten from the head down.
It must be a TICK TOCK.
That was what I was referencing in my post at #17. A subpoena obviates the need to volunteer. You are compelled.
I took Bongino's comments to mean there are some at the FBI who would welcome a subpoena for just that reason.
Is this the Left’s John Dean?
I’m thinking we ought to start referencing the spies against Trump the plumbers.
We can refer to the Rosenstein and Mueller as Mitchell or Haldeman.
Of course Trump is turning out to be Deep Throat.
Hulkster: “And whatcha gonna do Muller when the 24 inch pythons of Hulk Hogan run wild on youuuuuuuuuuu?” Mean Gene: “There it is...the heavyweight champion has just called out the snake Muller....snakes? Okay...Jake The Snake will be weighing in here shortly! Back to you Vince!” WWF Lives! Okay, Putting down the jug now.......
But will he be allowed to?
white noise
They all are. They talk campaign talk, lower taxes! Against illegal immigration! Uphold family values! Tough on crime! And what you get is what we got! Worthless dishrags!
Seems to me if we talk about them in Watergate terms, maybe some folks will wake up to the gravity of the situation here.
My point was, I believe a witness need not be subpoenaed if they willing or voluntarily show up. It was in response to a poster saying, “Can’t testify voluntarily”. I don’t believe that is correct.
Btw, I get what the subpoena in this matter is all about, that way they’re covered for legal counsel in addition to protections from be fired. Subpoenas don’t take long, so we should find out pretty darn soon how many are being subpoenaed and what they know.
When subed by Congress, the government pays your legal fees and you are protected from retribution.
