Flynn Update: New FBI Texts Expose The FBI’s Political Targeting

“They [the FBI] were knowingly using someone suspected to be an active Russian spy to try and get the incoming president of the US criminally indicted and removed from office. This is extraordinary,”  Fitton stated in last week’s Weekly Update. 

Ongoing investigations into the FBI’s Flynn ‘investigation’, have revealed, in Fitton’s words, that the FBI “wanted a scalp and that they were willing to go after Flynn improperly to get it.” As General Flynn fights to get his case dismissed before the DC District Court Judge, new FBI text messages have provided further evidence of the “underlying corruption involved in targeting him improperly.”

“These new documents just given to Sidney Powell [Flynn’s lawyer] show that FBI agents all knew that Flynn was innocent and that the case was going nowhere.”

In fact, as Fitton explained, “they were so worried about the case that not only were FBI agents taking on liability insurance, but also CIA agents were taking on liability insurance.” As you might recall, FBI Agents investigating Flynn found no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of the General, but were forced to “keep it open at the direction of FBI leadership.” “This happened just days before the Oval Office meeting on January 5th 2017,” Fitton explains. “These text messages show Obama knew, the FBI knew, and that of course there was never anything there,” the Judicial Watch President concludes. 

What’s more, it appears that the Steele Dosser, used as ‘evidence’ in the illegal FISA warrants to target Flynn, Carter Page and President Trump, potentially relied on an active Russian intelligence asset as a main intelligence source, Attorney General Barr recently confirmed. The dossier, funded by the FBI, the Clinton campaign and the DNC simultaneously, “used an active Russian spy to try and get the incoming president of the United States criminally indicted and removed from office.” 

Fitton added: 

“Was Biden briefed on this? I want to know why this was covered up? Where’s Durham?”

Support Judicial Watch today if you’re concerned about what Biden knew, and just how much the FBI might still be hiding on Operation Crossfire Hurricane.
