Just saw this Cates thread, about agent Pientka who is practically invisible. Click link to see a couple of iamges. Anyone wanting on/off the twitter walkabout ping list, freepmail me.

Biggest sign that only 1 of two narratives can be correct:

that there’s either a massive cover up still underway by the Deep State or airtight operational security to protect ongoing investigations.

It’s Joseph Pientka.

He’s the clearest, most obvious example.
Here is a guy who’s sat right in the center of the beating heart of BOTH the the plot frame Flynn AND the use of Steele’s fake Trump/Russia allegations to drive counterintelligence investigations of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election and afterwards.

Pientka’s name first surfaced almost 2 years ago, and today...he’s still the same blank portrait he was back then.

I’ve seen ONE picture that purports to be Pientka, and I’m still not sure that’s actually him.

While Strzok fought every step of the way and was dragged out at last for a VERY contentious public hearing after which he was tossed ass-first out of the FBI....

Pientka.....

Well Pientka.....
I’m struggling to convey the sheer VASTNESS of the contrast between how Strzok was handled and how Pientka continues to be handled.

One became a national figure, his picture now well known.

The other remains to this day a GHOST.

And following the release of the IG report last Monday, we discover that Pientka is up to his neck in the shenanigans surrounding the bogus FISA warrant on Carter Page.

And it’s looking increasingly likely that Pientka was Strzok’s direct junior partner in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and someone directly under Strzok was the ‘affiant’ of the Carter Page warrant & it’s renewals, that means Pientka is the ‘affiant’.

There is not one official document where Pientka’s name is unredacted.

It’s redacted in the supplemental discovery in the Flynn case.

It’s redacted all throughout the DOJ IG FISA Abuse report.

And Fox reporter @gregg_re says the FBI called him up and vigorously complained to him for “revealing” Pientka’s name.

Two tweets:

Based on a very angry phone call I got yesterday, the FBI would disagree with you!

Gregg Re
I was asked angrily for ten minutes why Fox felt the need to name Pientka or “any agent”. That it endangered operational security and they risk their lives. This call came 8 hours after I requested comment and 10 minutes

1. This guy is being protected to make sure he ESCAPES ACCOUNTABILITY. A massive cover up is underway, and
Barr and Horowitz and Wray are all in on it. For some reason this guy needs to walk.

2. This guy FLIPPED LONG AGO and is now a material witness because he literally had a front row seat to how all of this went down. As a material witness in ongoing investigations, they have to keep him to lowest profile possible.

I’m leaning #2 and I’ll tell you why.

mentions To believe a massive cover up is underway to protect this ONE GUY after most of the stuff Comey, McCabe, Strzok and about half a dozen others did was completely exposed doesn’t make much sense to me.

Strzok never cooperated, he fought to the bitter bitter end convinced he could ride it out and actually KEEP his FBI job.

If Pientka cooperated, he’s a key material witness present in the center of the beating heart of the BIGGEST POLITICAL SCANDAL in US history.

This means he would need an incredibly high level of protection against

retaliation
against leaks of what he knows
where he is is and what he is doing.

It’s like he’s literally in a witness protection program, if you will.

Another weakness of the ‘massive cover up’ narrative that doesn’t fit is that it would mean Barr is in on it, and so is Durham, would have to ‘pretend’ not to see Pientka’s involvement in the SpyGate plot to frame Flynn & get bogus FISA warrants.

After everything else that’s been exposed & uncovered, they’re going to risk it ALL to shield one guy?

I doubt it.

So my present take is that Pienkta is for all essential purposes in a witness protection program right now until he can come forward once Durham is done.

They literally can’t hide what Pientka did, we know it was him, we already know he was the 2nd agent there for the Flynn interview on Jan. 24 2017, we know he was taking notes from Ohr after his meetings with Steele/Simpson of Fusion GPS.

We already knew all of this.

All Horowitz’s report does is pull back the curtain even more and show Pientka’s involvement in the FISA abuse, as well as the other things we already knew about.

Chances they could have Durham roll out his findings while carefully omitting any reference to Pientka is 0%.

So what we’ve seen so far, the narrative that provides the BEST explanation for the DOJ/FBI demanding a complete and total news embargo of this person is that they are a material witness in ongoing investigations, we will not see/hear from him until those investigations conclude.

Mangled that last tweet: meant to say:

FROM what we’ve seen so far, the narrative that provides the BEST explanation.....

Now I’m off to watch the Cowboys.

Everybody have a great day!
