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.

ping!
Grassley is all horn and no driveshaft!
Has this been verified by DebkaFiles?
Where is the attribution regarding this agent testifying against McCabe? Nothing remotely like that is mentioned in the article. So the author is,tzking rather large poetic license, IMO.
I’ve seen it reported several times. Nunes should get them in to testify ASAP.
And... Paul Ryan wants to spend more time with his family in sunny non-extradition Bolivia.
Hard to see what he could know.
The headline says the agent is ready to testify, but the article doesn’t say that.
It says that Grassley has requested the agent’s testimony, which is not the same thing at all.
Supposedly he asked to be subpoenaed. Can’t testify voluntarily.
Oh, baby !!!
Oh, baby !!!
From now on If the title says “Breaking” I’m not even going to open it.
I heard Dan Bongino referencing this today, and he said there are likely people who want to talk, but cannot because of what happens to whistleblowers. He said he has seen it happen.
If you know something bad that reflects poorly on your organization, it is a death sentence professionally speaking. They come after you and find a way to fire you for cause.
If you know something bad and leak it to the press, they polygraph EVERYONE. He said he has had to go through a few of them himself, so he knows.
(I think he has inside info on this)
He said that under the protection of a subpoena, he is pretty sure that people will talk, because...they can’t lie, and would welcome the chance to be able to do so.
So there may be something to this. We’ll see.
this story sounds like the caputo second informant story....or selective leaks in the media....it works like this.......
scenario 1:...... start at point X(no news). we hear about “A” and it’s a bombshell...but “A” never materializes and we get “B”. which is something in between X and A...the result “oh that’s not so bad”
scenario 2. start at point X(no news). we hear about “B” and the result is “ it’s bad”
Fantastic if so. Where has that been reported?
Worthy of the B! word if true.
