FBI records in Flynn investigation bring new questions on
agency’s role
April 30, 2020 North State Journal Staff
"Newly unsealed documents were made public in the case involving former national security adviser Michael Flynn. A Fox News story says former agent Peter Strzok ordered the investigation of Flynn to remain open even after it was slated to be closed due to a lack of so-called “derogatory” information.
The January 4 memo concluded with this paragraph: “The FBI is closing this investigation. If new information is identified or reported to the FBI regarding the activities of CROSSFIRE RAZOR, the FBI will consider reopening the investigation if warranted.”
Yet, on that same day – Jan. 4, 2017 – Strzok instructed the FBI case manager handling CROSSFIRE RAZOR to keep the investigation open. “Hey don’t close RAZOR,” Strzok texted an unidentified individual.
Fox News says it’s currently unknown why Strzok directed the FBI case manager to keep the Flynn investigation open. The timing of emails between Strzok and ex-FBI lawyer Lisa Page seem to suggest that they used the Logan Act to keep CROSSFIRE RAZOR alive; Strzok forwarded a 14-page research paper on the Logan Act the same day."
