DOJ reveals discovery of new Strzok notes in Flynn case
[Just the News] In the latest twist, the Justice Department disclosed to a federal court Tuesday it has located a new page of notes from Peter Strzok, the former lead FBI agent in the Russia collusion investigation, that are exculpatory to former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
"Notes say 'He didn't do it and isn't lying'...should we release them to Flynn's Defense? Nahhhhh"
Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin informed U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan of the discovery in a midday court filing, revealing the single page of notes were believed to have been taken by Strzok during the critical juncture of early January 2017 when FBI agents recommended shutting down their investigation of Flynn only to be overruled by FBI superiors.

"This page of notes was taken by former Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok. While the page itself is undated; we believe that the notes were taken in early January 2017, possibly between January 3 and January 5," Sherwin wrote in the motion. The prosecutor said it was possible more documents may be produced to the court.

The page of notes were not made public with the filing because they are currently subject to a protective order.

#1 "You know earlier when we said the dog ate our homework? Well, we found some he didn't eat. Actually, it's only one page, but it seems important."

Remind me again how the Federal Bureau of Investigation is our premier law enforcement agency.

I gotta kinda think the protective order might only cover 'known' documents at the time of it's application. Not any future discovery.

#12 Is Richard Grennell busy at the moment? FBI's first openly gay Director sounds like a nice headline for Trump, and also puts the fear of God in the management, while bolstering the rank and file in hopes that finally their agency will return to law enforcement instead of being used as a political tool.

Wray has got to go. If he had any integrity, he would have resigned in protest to the rot in the FBI, and to show some personal responsibility. Time to fire him, immediately and immediately nominate Grennell.
