House Republicans Demand Interview with Pientka and Priestap after damning revelations about FBI conduct
Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Mike Johnson, R-La., on Monday demanded that FBI Director Christopher Wray provide a slew of information after last week's bombshell revelations in the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn – and the lawmakers are specifically seeking to question a mysterious FBI agent, Joe Pientka, who participated in the January 2017 White House interview that led to Flynn's prosecution.
Fox News has previously determined that Pientka was also intimately involved in the probe of former Trump aide Carter Page, which the DOJ has since acknowledged was riddled with fundamental errors and premised on a discredited dossier that the bureau was told could be part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
Pientka was conspicuously removed from the FBI's website after Fox News contacted the FBI about his extensive role in Crossfire Hurricane Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) matters a change first noticed by Twitter user Techno Fog but sources say Pientka remains in a senior role at the agency's San Francisco field office.
The FBI, speaking to Fox News last December, asserted that reporting on Pientka's identity would potentially endanger his life and would serve no legitimate journalistic purpose. Republicans have previously sought to question Pientka, however, beginning in 2018. On Monday, the FBI declined to provide any additional comment.

Wray, earlier this year, suggested in testimony that several agents could be under internal investigation by the FBI.
“As for current employees, there are what I would call more line-level employees who were involved in some of the events in the report, all of those employees … were referred to our Office of Professional Responsibility, which is our disciplinary arm," Wray wrote. He did not elaborate.

In addition to a Pientka interview, the Republicans Johnson is the ranking member on the House Subcommitee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties; and Jordan heads up the House Oversight Committee sought a sit-down with Bill Priestap, the former assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division.
Explosive handwritten notes that surfaced last week written by Priestap after a meeting with then-FBI Director James Comey and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Fox News is told suggested that agents planned to get Flynn "to admit to breaking the Logan Act" when he spoke to then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition period.
The Logan Act has never been used in a criminal prosecution and has a questionable constitutional status; it was enacted in 1799 in an era before telephones, and was intended to prevent individuals from falsely claiming to represent the United States government abroad….

'Divisive and disrespectful': San Francisco bars police from wearing 'thin blue line' face masks

The chief of the San Francisco Police Department ordered his officers not to wear a pro-law-enforcement symbol on their face masks while on duty.
The "thin blue line" image was barred by Chief Bill Scott, according to recent emails obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle. Scott sent the email in response to several photographs showing officers wearing black masks depicting the "thin blue line" flag while working on Friday.
Scott acknowledged that the symbol was "a meaningful expression to honor fallen officers" in his eyes and for many in the department. However, he said that many find the symbol to be "divisive and disrespectful."
The chief requested that officers wear "neutral" face coverings while on duty. He noted that the department would be providing personal protective equipment to officers soon and said they will no longer be allowed to wear any other face coverings once the department is supplied.
The San Francisco Police Department union distributed many of the now-banned masks to members. The face masks included a black-and-white image of the American flag with a blue bar in the center, which is used by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial to honor fallen officers.
The "thin blue line" symbol gained popularity outside of the law enforcement community during the Black Lives Matter movement and has been considered a political statement by some since then.
