FBI admits (or concocts) mind-boggling mistake on notes taken on General Flynn interview
American Thinker ^ | 11/06/2019 | Thomas Lifson

Sidney Powell, Gen. Michael Flynn’s replacement lawyer, is pulling on a thread that is unraveling the conspiracy to generate a crime with which to bludgeon him into cooperating in incriminating President Trump in the Russia hoax. Late yesterday, The FBI made an admission – or claim – that strains credulity: that it has for years misattributed authorship of the notes used in preparing the Form 302 interview summaries that were themselves altered to incriminate Flynn.

#VanGrack just advised by letter that he got the authors of the raw notes backwards!! Since March 2018 when first disclosed! All the more reason to require originals of everything without redactions, handwriting samples, all 302s, audit trail, metadata-entire file! @GenFlynn pic.twitter.com/kewKKizUAK — Sidney Powell 🇺🇸⭐⭐⭐ (@SidneyPowell1) November 5, 2019

Here is the letter (hat tip: Conservative Treehouse)

 Sundance summarizes:

The entire FBI case against Flynn; meaning the central element that he lied to FBI investigators (he didn’t); is predicated on the FD-302 interview reports generated by the two FBI agents; later discovered to have been edited, shaped and approved by Andrew McCabe….  And for almost two years the entire outline of their documented evidence has been misattributed? (snip)

Obviously what triggered this re-review of the notes was a smart sur-surreply from the defense that highlighted how Peter Strzoks notes were far too neat, organized and well constructed to have been written during an actual interview. [SEE HERE]

For the prosecution to now reverse course and say the agent attribution was transposed, is either the biggest screw-up in a high profile case…. OR, the prosecution now needs to reverse the note-takers due to the exact, and common sense, reasons highlighted by the defense.

The entire case should be thrown out.

If a Private Entity did this it would NOT be considered a “Mistake”, it would be CRIMINAL with Severe Penalties Attached.

Why were the Democrats so determined to discredit General Flynn?

Perhaps because they wanted to pre-empt any outrage that may otherwise have followed on revelations that
<><> Obama’s National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, hid important facts from Gen Flynn, who was tapped as Rice's successor.
<><> during the transition, Obama probably ordered Rice to lie to Flynn......to coverup evidence of bigger more dangerous security breeches.

=========================================

When we look back, these Obamanoids always seemed overconfident and sloppy...
always smirking about one crime or another, never ever fearing retribution.

Clearly, the dirty-doers did not plan on any follow-up nor did they expect Americans to challenge them.

Keep in mind, those were the heady days of "anything goes'...when Saint Obama was untouchable and Hillary was a "shoo-in."

I can hear them all now: "Don't worry, Hillary will sweep all of this under the Oval Office rug."
This as they chose their bailiwicks and sinecures and signed up for 3-4 eternal Federal pensions.

I think the DOJ and FBI want it thrown out. They don’t want to be forced by the court to handover over anymore of their boatloads of corrupt evidence.

What is the substantial effect of the misattribution?

Sidney’s right. It’s time for HANDWRITING SAMPLES and ALL METADATA. WTF are the FBI and DOJ allowed to be dragging this out?

And is the latest “revelation” actually the truth or just more misdirection?

In order for the FBI to regain any credibility it must investigate its employees who are responsible for this and refer to DOJ for trial.

Government employees should be held to the highest standards and if caught breaking laws punished to the max.

I would like to see Director Wray and AG Barr announce that this will be done.

I don’t expect the judge in this case to pursue it.
(Honestly, I don’t expect Dir Wray and AG Barr to pursue it either. But they should.)

Sidney Powell is showing how inept Flynn’s original lawyers were. Maybe they were a deep state set up.

Fine, let's dig up several samples of hand-written notes of prior cases written by "the other agent" and see how neat, organized, and well constructed they are.

If the "other agent's" notes from other cases aren't as neat, organized, and well constructed as the Flynn notes, then the Government needs to provide additional explanation for the condition of the Flynn notes, perhaps even admitting to post-interview tampering of the evidence by Strzok, the "other witness," or others within the FIB.

Not inept, IMHO. Deliberately corrupt.

“Not inept, IMHO. Deliberately corrupt.”

I will not argue my point.

That’s already been done and it appears as if the misattribution is a lie. The notes originally attributed to Strzok, then switched to Pientka, appear to be in Strzoks handwriting. It’s not negligence, it’s malfeasance.

Powell doesn't even try to say there is one. She's just throwing dust in the air.

Who pointed out that the notes were not represented properly? Strzock, Prienta or Page?

The government still isn't sure. If you read the letter it says "we received word that our Surreply MAY have misidentified the authorship of the handwritten notes from the January 24, 2017 interview of your client."
