here’s a quote from a redstate.com piece I found linked up on tracy beanz twatter:
“I think Priority 1A for AG Barr is a hard look at the conduct of the Special Counsels Office. The interview of Special Agent William Barnett, the original case agent on the Flynn and Manafort investigations begun in August 2016, took place only 10 days ago. That interview was done by US Attorney Jensen, not Durham. But that interview covered events from the beginning of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation to a point beyond the entry of a guilty plea by General Flynn Barnett discusses interviews done with General Flynn after he pled guilty.”

“On Twitter I said that Agent Barnett is a saavy and experienced Bureau actor. Hes spent 18 years as a working brick agent which means that was by choice. He was personally selected by Joe Pietka the Supervisory Special Agent over all of Crossfire Hurricane in the early days to lead both the Flynn and Manafort investigations. He was personally solicited by Peter Strzok to join the SCO investigation after Mueller was appointed even after he indicated he was not interested in being part of the investigation any further.”
Meet the U.S. Attorney U.S. Attorney Jeffrey B. Jensen
(excerpt)
Jeff Jensen was nominated by President Donald Trump on July 14, 2017, and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on October 4, 2017. He took the oath of office on October 6, 2017.
As U.S. Attorney, Jeff Jensen is the top-ranking federal law enforcement official in the Eastern District of Missouri.
Editors note:
I've never been sure if Q was talking about Durham here, or somebody beyond even Durham. Jensen is certainly 'outside of DC'. Food for thought and TBD and all that rot.
