Strzok stopped FBI from ending Flynn probe despite lack of 'derogatory' evidence, unsealed documents reveal
Fox News ^ | April 30 2020 | Gregg Re

Internal FBI documents unsealed Thursday indicate that Peter Strzok -- the now-disgraced anti-Trump former head of FBI counterintelligence -- ordered the investigation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn to remain open even after it was slated to be closed due to a lack of so-called "derogatory" information.

The materials surfaced just a day after explosive FBI communications revealed that top bureau officials discussed their motivations for interviewing Flynn in the White House on January 24, 2017 -- and openly questioned if their "goal" was "to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired."

Those handwritten notes -- written by the FBI's former head of counterintelligence Bill Priestap, Fox News is told -- suggested that agents planned in the alternative to get Flynn "to admit to breaking the Logan Act" when he spoke to then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition period. The Logan Act has never been used in a criminal prosecution and has a questionable constitutional status; it was enacted in 1799 in an era before telephones, and was intended to prevent individuals from falsely claiming to represent the United States government abroad.

I’m not sure if everyone knows it, but Strozk was the FBI agent in charge of taking Hillary’s testimony.

He saw to it it several of her co-conspirators, such as Cheryl Mills, where made Hillary’s official legal representatives, and therefore could not be prosecuted for any lies they told.

He did damage both way—

First in favor of letting the criminal Hillary Clinton commit crimes that would get ANYONE else convicted of mishandling classified information ten years in jail, and then

Secondly, going after the President’s appointed National Security Advisor to get him to violate the law unwittingly, and when he did not, simply make up the charges.

The NSA isn’t small fry.

This has to be dealt with now. See my tag line.

Send him to Gitmo and leave him with the Muzzies.
They could mete out some justice better than anything he’ll ever face here.

The TRUTH will out.

But don’t expect any justice to be handed out beyond loss of employment. These people know to much on to many people. To copy Hitlery, They’ll take half of D.C. down with them.

Why did they hate Flynn so much?

1) Witness for McCabe’s sex harassment complaint.
2) Pro Trump
3) Flynn was anti Iran deal.
4) Flynn knows where the all the deep skeletons hang

The Donald should reinstate Flynn and let him wreak revenge on the deep state.

“Why did they hate Flynn so much?”
...............
Comey, Strozk, McCabe and Page and a host of other top FBI agents didn’t really hate Flynn, he was just in the way.
...............
Flynn’s strength was his weakness. Flynn was a seasoned intel director and would have soon found out about Crossfire Hurricane, the bogus FISA warrants, the FBI coup attempt on Trump.
.............
They had to concoct a way to stop Flynn from ratting out Comey and company to AG Sessions who deeply mistrusted Comey.
..............
Comey and company knew they could leverage Flynn into pleading out to anything as Flynn had to protect his son.

Fascist Strzok would look better with a nice little hole in his forehead.

I wouldn't have a problem with dumping Flynn and Strzok in a private room.

We could take bets on how long it would take the general to twist Strzok's head off his little chicken neck...

Like a piano, Strzok could use a good “tuning up” before you decorated his forehead...
