FBI agent on Mueller probe says prosecutors rather than investigators drove decisions, according to an interview the Justice Department filed in its effort to dismiss the case against Michael Flynn

WASHINGTON—An FBI agent assigned to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation harbored reservations about the behavior of prosecutors on the team assigned to look into possible foreign collusion and obstruction of justice by Donald Trump and his associates.

William Barnett, a veteran agent who has been with the Federal Bureau of Investigation since 1999, was interviewed by Justice Department investigators last week as part of the department’s after-action review, ordered by Attorney General William Barr, of the probe into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

In his interview, Mr. Barnett said he believed there was a “get Trump” attitude among some people in the special counsel’s office and that prosecutors, rather than FBI investigators, were driving most of the decisions.

And Biden is your choice for improvement- don’t forget he was part of the administration that did the spying. This is a full coup that Obama and Clinton masterminded. Well they didn’t master anything because they failed - like always.

Is that why Flynn pleaded guilty twice?

Duh!

Finding out it was a coup will be something some people will not be able to admit due to Psychological Denialism, but already seeing some people coming to grips it was a coup and admitting they were wrong. News is to blame for that...

Duh.

Department of Injustice

Surprising exactly nobody who’s been paying attention to this treachery and sedition.

So you’re saying it’s like the Durham investigation then?

Go get a life Wall Street Journal. Really. Go get a life.

Probably because everyone in the Trump orbit was doing deals with shady Russian oligarchs. Also, was he running the investigation? Did he lie to the FBI?

Thanks Rupert. I'm sure they waterboarded him into pleading guilty.

This is called poisoning the well. No real new info, just spin.

Now, reality: 1. Trump sought and received foreknowledge of stolen emails 2. Via Stone, coordinated directly with Wikileaks on timing of release 3. Wikileaks was coordinating with Russia 4. Trump's campaign manager was regularly consulting with a GRU officer

Except they didn't really go after Trump so this claim hardly seems valid.

One mans opinion.

But he was guilty, and was found guilty and admitted guilt.

I bet this Flynn TraitorsSupportTraitorTrump story is all about nothing too!
