‘Get Trump’: FBI Whistleblower On Mueller Team Details Real Reason Flynn Was Targeted
The Federalist ^ | 9/25/2020 | sean Davis and Mollie Hemingway

Posted on 09/26/2020 3:12:45 PM PDT by bitt

The case agent managing the FBI's investigation of Flynn told Department of Justice attorneys that a desire to "get Trump" was a major factor underlying the case against Flynn.

In a stunning and detailed interview conducted September 17 by U.S. attorney Jeff Jensen, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case agent for the original investigation of former White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and who later worked on Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel blew the whistle on myriad problems that plagued those investigations from the very beginning.

FBI Special Agent William Barnett told Department of Justice (DOJ) investigators that the handling of the probes troubled him so much that he threatened to quit working on it in one case, and threatened to go to the Inspector General in another. According to the summary of Barnett’s interview, he said there was never any basis for the bizarre “collusion” theory the agency and the special counsel relentlessly pursued, to the point that agents made jokes about how they could take any piece of information and claim it was evidence of collusion. He said the Special Counsel Office (SCO) pursued Flynn simply as a means to “get Trump” and viewed FBI investigators as a “speed bump” slowing down the work of the attorneys leading the inquisition.

The broader Trump investigation was “opaque,” the case theory was “supposition on supposition,” the Flynn probe in particular was “unclear and disorganized,” and its predicate was “not great,” Barnett told investigators. According to the interview notes, he felt there was “little detail concerning specific evidence of criminal events.”

Horowitz lied when he said they could not find evidence of bias. Sorry. There is simply no other conclusion any person could make. None.

Furthermore, I don’t believe he interviewed enough people. What this story and others in the last week highlights is how far off the rails this was from the beginning. That is not my opinion. It is clearly the opinion of people working on the investigation who were not at the top in their own words.

There is only one solution. Rip it all out and rebuild from the ground up. <<

Yup!..and even then it will still be suspect!......Without real Justice and I'm talking LONG prison sentences at least...death penalties for treason at most it will just happen again and again....

the ones NOT employed by the “Government”....people do whats in their own best interests when it comes to employment...especially govt employment

Being paid by the taxpayers (the Govt has NO money or profit motive) is almost a conflict of interest on its own...

think about it...

Four years on and Barr still sits on his hands and Durham has perfected his invisibility cloak.
They have ALREADY ran out the clock.
We should have known the ‘fix was in’ when Barr refused to appoint a special council and opted for the FBI to investigate the FBI...what could go wrong...?
Who knew going to work for the premier ‘law enforcement agency’(sic) in America was your key to a life of crime without accountability?
Or maybe there really are 2 sets of laws on the books.

And, just as soon as LTG Flynn is exonerated, he WILL spill the beans on this traitorous crowd!

He couldn’t and wouldn’t forgo his benefits. That’s my guess.

This man is a coward. Durham found the weakest link and is exploiting it.

Not in DC.

I am VERY hopeful that you are wrong.

Take note of the fact that President Trump marches to the beat of a VERY different drummer.

While it is generally true that very few high ranking federal elected/appointed officials have been indicted and convicted of crimes, President Trump plays a different game, with different rules.

I sure do hope that criminal charges will be pursued against the Ophonybama/Biden/Clinton criminal conspiracy!

Yup.

By definition, bureaucracies have no accountability. DC needs to be shut down.

Flynn was originally head of DIA under Obama; they had differences of opinion on policy and Flynn left, then went over to Trump. Obama couldn’t have that. He had to destroy, or try to destroy, Flynn. That may (hopefully) come back to bite him. Hard.

Do not understand J. Sullivan. At all.
