True this, anons
I saw in a bread or so back there was a mention of Joe Pientka. I dug a big and found this article from Sara Carter back in Dec 2018 touching more on Joe Pientka and how nobody can get him to testify or appear live.
Why Is The FBI Muzzling The Only Person With Credibility Left in The Flynn Investigation: FBI SSA Joe Pientka III
There is a shroud of mystery regarding the actual facts that surround the first interview former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn had with two FBI Special Agents at the White House. Pieces of the puzzle, however, have slowly come together over the past year. In the past week, those pieces of evidence, or lack thereof, have become even more pronounced after Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office was ordered by Judge Emmet Sullivan to turn over all documentation and FBI interviews – known in the bureau as 302s – to the court.
The highly redacted documents revealed a startling fact, the 302 from the first interview with Flynn on Jan. 24, 2017 appears to be missing. The only document referencing the interview conducted by both Former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his partner at the time FBI Special Agent Joe Pietka III, is an August 2017 document. The 302 from Aug. 22, 2017, is of an interview the bureau had with anti-Trump agent Strzok based on notes he had put into the FBI system on July 19. Those notes apparently were regarding his impressions of his interview with Flynn in January.
Improper doesn’t begin to describe what’s going on with the documents, said multiple former U.S. and senior FBI officials. The main question, they have, like so many others, is what happened to the original notes regarding the FBI’s interview with Flynn?
It isn’t difficult to decipher but there were only two people who would know directly what happened with the Jan. 24 interview: Strzok and Pientka.
So why hasn’t Pientka ever been questioned by Congress or by anyone that we know of, for that matter?
On June 6, 2018 Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Charles Grassley sent a three-page letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, questioning the DOJ’s and FBI’s failure to provide information regarding Flynn’s interview with the FBI and any exculpatory information with regard to Flynn’s case that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office may be withholding from Congressional inquiries.
Grassley’s office also requested and was denied numerous times the opportunity to interview Pientka by Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray, according to the June 6, letter and interviews with multiple sources.
Grassley wrote in his letter to Rosenstein, “Finally, it is disingenuous and extremely disturbing that the Department would imply that a request to interview a fact witness, such as Special Agent Pientka, has anything whatsoever to do with “allegations against” that witness. As you well know, seeking information from a fact witness is not the same thing as an allegation of wrongdoing. Quite the contrary, it seems he is likely to be an objective, reliable, and trustworthy witness, which is precisely why the Committee would benefit from his testimony.”
According to multiple sources who spoke to SaraACarter.com FBI procedures require that the notes of an interview with witnesses or victims be submitted within 5 days into the bureau’s Sentinel computer system.
“The only person who has credibility and could shed light on this matter is Pientka,” said a former senior U.S. official. “He’s the only person the FBI, DOJ and Mueller investigation has purposefully muzzled.”
As former FBI Supervisory Agent Jeff Danik told this news site, the policy is put in place to ensure that “memory recollection” is accurate so that agents can reference those notes in the future. He said submitting notes more than seven months after an interview is “unheard of” and a “disaster.” He stressed that in order for Sullivan to get an accurate account of what happened he needs to ask the Special Counsel for “the workflow chart, which would show one-hundred percent, when the 302s were created and when they were sent to a supervisor and who approved them.”
Danik makes a crucial and important point, “who was the supervisor who approved the notes going into the system in August 2017 and what happened to the 302 interview in January?”
