| | + | They were planning and plotting with Andrew McCabe about how they were going to exploit the illegal phone-tap and the difference in public statements by VP Mike Pence. However, FBI Counterintelligence Director [[Bill Priestap]] had doubts about the validity of interviewing Flynn. Priestap had a meeting with with “DD” Deputy Director McCabe to share his concerns.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/fbi-notes-transcript-1-v1.jpg?w=640&h=262</ref> Strzok was worried that his boss, Bill Priestap, may disrupt the plan. The day of the interview, January 24, 2017, Priestap still had issues about the purpose of interviewing Flynn over Flynn's perfectly legitimate conversation. Priestap had another meeting, this time with “d” FBI Director Comey and “dd” Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. <ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/flynn-razor-9-discussion-for-flynn-interview-1.jpg?w=640&h=385</ref> Strzok was stressed out; Priestap could blow the plan if he didn’t back down from his concerns. Lisa Page said McCabe “is frustrated” with Priestap’s reluctance to go along with the plan. |

| | + | Flynn was interviewed by the FBI on January 24, 2020 nine days after Pence made his comments. During this ambush interview, disguised as a meeting, Peter Strzok and [[Joe Pientka]] were contrasting Pence’s statements to CBS against the known action of Mike Flynn. Strzok and Pientla agreed that Flynn did not lie. |
| | + | |
| | + | It is within this dynamic where the FBI FD-302 interview reports, written by Strzok and Pientka, then became the subject of political manipulation by Asst. FBI Director Andrew McCabe. |
| | + | |
| | + | The FBI knew the content of the Flynn call with Sergey Kislyak because they were listening in. The FBI were intercepting those communications. So when Pence told CBS no one had any contact, the FBI crew IMMEDIATELY knew they had a bogus issue they could exploit. |
