FBI agent Curtis Heide testified in court Tuesday that he is currently the subject of an internal investigation into allegations that he withheld key evidence from an application to surveil a figure in the bureau’s probe into former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Mr. Heide took the stand in U.S. District Court in Washington in the criminal trial of former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann. The FBI agent said that others in the bureau are also being investigated, but he did not say how many or what positions they hold.
It is the first time anyone associated with the FBI has confirmed that an internal probe into agents’ handling of its Trump-Russia collusion investigation is ongoing.
Mr. Heide said he’s under investigation for allegedly withholding “consensual recordings” from a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Application (FISA) to surveil a target in the Russia probe.
The agent did not name the target of the probe, but it’s likely former Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page, who was the subject of a FISA warrant.
“There are various consensual recordings … and the exculpatory information was not disclosed in the FISA court,” Mr. Heide told the court.
Mr. Heide denied that he withheld information and said the investigation has not yet been completed.
He also acknowledged that the investigation was a serious allegation that could have “serious consequences” on his career.

[And then we could maybe start to talk]
New Name.....must be third rate agent.
Career?
In Leavenworth or the Atlanta Penitentiary, maybe.
Cause that’s where he and his co-conspirators belong, if not swinging from a rope for treason.
No need for indictiment here. He was sufficiently chastised by his supervisor.
Oh no, his “career.”
Aren’t coup-plotters supposed to be executed?
The fish rots from the head down. Everyone is corrupt from the head down at least to his level.
CHRIS WRAY SHOULD BE IN PRISON!
Well, his name IS Heide. What would we expect? Agent Blabber? Agent Shootsmouthoff. Maybe Agent Diarhealips? His Uncle Chief Runamouff?
Now THAT was FUNNY!!! LOL!
And you’re a NEWBIE!!! WELCOME!
.
Other reports say that agent Ryan Gaynor is also under investigation for the same thing.
Gaynor also volunteered and was enthusiastic about getting Trump.
.
Why would it take them Six years to investigate these agents for FISA Docs from many years ago?
Maybe these “Investigations” were opened after they were found in the Witnesd list and knew it would be bad PR when their answers were exposed.
It doesn’t take Six Years — six months and it’s completed.
.
That’s what Chris Wray’s strategy is:
Delay, delay, DELAY and “just say you are being investigated.”
That makes the person immune to answer any questions, because after all, the person is BEING INVESTIGATED.
A marvelous, devious plan.
What it sounds like is he probably received these “consensual recordings” (recordings that disclosed Page was a CIA asset presumably), and then passed them along to his superiors, and it was someone further up the line who decided not to submit them to the FISA court.
Yes, I think the reason they opened the investigation now is because they knew that these agents would be subpoenaed. So now when the press asks the FBI about the case, the FBI can say “Sorry, we can’t comment on the subject of a pending investigation”.
I guess to hide evidence of falsehood
Yep, some one should but it probably won’t be the government.
