:*the new information from Special Agent Barnett strongly suggests the “Insurance Policy” was none other than [[General Michael Flynn]] himself.  :*Four “sub-investigations” were opened by the Crossfire Hurricane team under the “umbrella” of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.  The sub-investigations of Carter Page, George Papadopolous, and Paul Manafort were opened on August 10, 2016, according to the  “Four FISA” report of the Inspector General, at page 59.  The IG report also establishes that the fourth sub-investigation of General Flynn was opened six days after the others — on August 16, 2016, the day after the meeting in Andy McCabe’s office.  Agent Barnett’s 302 says he was the Case Agent for both the Manafort investigation and the Flynn investigation.  But then he also says the following:

:*'''From September 2016 to November 2016, Barnett advised that very little was being done on the Razor investigation.'''

:*And right there is the lie being told by the partisans who want to say the interview of Gen. Flynn on January 24, 2017, was “material” to an ongoing investigation.  There was never an investigation of General Flynn.  There was a file opened.  But nothing was ever done according to Agent Barnett.  And nothing would have ever been done if Donald Trump had not won the election — according to Page and Strzok.

:*The opening of an investigation of General Flynn — “Crossfire Razor” — was the “insurance policy” in the event Donald Trump was elected.  Page, Papadolopous, and Manafort were not going to be in the Trump Administration — all had left the campaign by the fall of 2016, so they would not have access to classified information or otherwise be helpful to the Russians.  But Comey, McCabe, Strzok, and Page knew Flynn would be in the Administration.  Having Crossfire Razor open BEFORE the election meant the FBI could continue investigating the Trump Administration after candidate Trump became President-Elect Trump, and then after the inauguration as well, without having to say they only opened the investigation after Trump’s victory.

:*Agent Barnett said there wasn’t much “predicate” to support the investigation of General Flynn, yet on August 15, 2016, Lisa Page and Peter Strzok have already concluded that General Flynn has connections to Russia and Putin that meant he should not have access to classified information.  It is a violation of FBI policy to open a counterintelligence case file on a US Person with no present intention to conduct a counterintelligence investigation of the US Person.  It might even be a crime.  And yet that is exactly what Special Agent Barnett says FBI Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Peter Strzok did with regard to General Michael Flynn, decorated U.S. war hero.  He opened a counterintelligence case file on General Flynn, then put it in his “back pocket” just in case it turned out that he needed to have such a file open later on — depending on who won the election.
