DOJ ‘referral’ of Trump-Russia material a ‘mistake’ by FBI, agent says

"A MISTAKE"? REALLY? As though we don't all already know that then-FBI Director James Comey was "all-in" on the Trump-Russia LIES conspiracy.



DOJ ‘referral’ of Trump-Russia material a ‘mistake’ by FBI, agent says




His bad.

An FBI agent already under scrutiny over claims he withheld key information in the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation admitted Tuesday to a screwup that led other agents to believe a probe of Trump-Russian bank links was spurred by the Justice Department — rather than a lawyer for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

FBI agent Curtis Heide was asked by prosecutors about a communication drafted by him and fellow agent Allison Sands on Sept. 23, 2016, that stated “the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE provided the FBI with a white paper that was produced by an anonymous third party.”

“According to the white paper, a U.S.-based server that is owned by the TRUMP ORGANIZATION has been communicating with the Russian-based ALFA BANK organization in Moscow, Russia,” added the document, which functioned as confirmation that an investigation had been opened into the since-debunked allegation.

“That’s a mistake in our paperwork,” Heide said of the DOJ reference.

Asked by prosecutor Jonathan Algor how such a mistake could have been made, Heide answered, “I honestly don’t know” before adding that he and Sands may have conflated the department with the office of then-FBI general counsel Jim Baker.


~ Prosecutors led by special counsel John Durham say Sussmann was, in fact, acting for both the Clinton campaign and an internet executive, Rodney Joffe.

The disclosure by Heide comes one day after another FBI agent, Ryan Gaynor, testified that bureau brass shielded Sussmann’s identity from investigating agents as part of a longstanding practice known as a “close hold.”

Referring to Sussmann only as an “anonymous third party” appeared to frustrate investigators, according to emails introduced by prosecutors Monday.

In one message from Oct. 3, 2016, Heide wrote to Gaynor, “We really want to interview the source of all this information. Any way we can track down who this guy is and how we’re getting this information?”

Gaynor responded that it was being discussed at headquarters, but did not provide the identity of the source.

At the beginning of his testimony, Heide also revealed that he is being investigated in an FBI administrative inquiry for “not identifying exculpatory information as it pertained to one of the Crossfire Hurricane Investigations.” He allegedly left the information off a warrant application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

When Algor asked Heide if he intentionally withheld information from the Crossfire Hurricane case team, the G-man replied, “No.”

And yesterday another FBI personnel testified that none of it was new to them, they already knew of the connection between Trump and the Bank, so, tweedle dum tweedle dee, take your pick, and seeing your's is coming via Murdoch, I'll go with the first

EXCEPT THAT THERE WAS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN TRUMP AND THE BANK, DUMBFUCK.


THAT IS WHAT WAS DEBUNKED, AND THEY WENT WITH IT ANYWAY.

The Tech Overlords do this all the time.....when they get more pushback than they want reverse themselves, saying that they made an error, but they almost never apologize.

It all a lie, they are out to move the ball towards UTOPIA as far as they can.
