DOJ Just Disclosed ‘Explosive’ Handwritten Notes From Peter Strzok To Michael Flynn’s Defense Team
According to a letter to the federal court overseeing Flynn’s trial sent on behalf of acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia Michael Sherwin, the new disclosures include handwritten notes from fired former Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) official Peter Strzok. The notes are believed to have been written in early January of 2017 at the same time that the FBI suddenly re-opened its criminal investigation of Flynn despite the fact that the FBI had filed to find any “derogatory” information against Flynn during the course of its multi-month investigation of him during and after the 2016 presidential campaign.
Because the exculpatory evidence was filed pursuant to a previous protective order from the judge in the case, the handwritten notes themselves have not yet been made publicly available. It is not known when, or if, the judge in the case will ever allow the newly revealed evidence exonerating Flynn to be publicly disclosed.
“What DOJ disclosed today is as explosive as anything that’s come out in Flynn’s case,” a source with direct knowledge of the content of Strzok’s handwritten notes told The Federalist on Tuesday. Earlier this year, DOJ disclosed handwritten documents from Bill Priestap, who previously served as the FBI’s top counterintelligence official, fretting that the FBI investigation against Flynn was designed to “to get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired.” Following those and other disclosures exonerating Flynn, DOJ moved to dismiss the charges against him.

I feel like I'm too forcefully trying to "prosecute" Flynn.
Back to my original sense of this.
-
The FBI was way overzealous here (railroading?)
-
Flynn was not a good operator here either. He's not an innocent bystander
All shades of grey.
Comey: "Kislyak conversation was legit."
(Obama nods)
(Rice scribbles notes for a future email to herself)
Biden: "Let's get him on something else."
Also Biden: "I wasn't involved."

@George-K I mean, it's whattaboutism. But my comment was that Flynn was a shady character because of his documented behavior.
My comment on Hillary was that she was even less far in the legal process than Flynn, but it's reasonable to say she was shady there.
The fact that the case got dropped doesn't really change my opinion of the public facts about him.

Facts are such inconvenient things...

I'm sure that will keep him awake at night.
You take that back. He loves and respects me.
