SCOOP: Two sources close to the Senate probe tell @CBSNews that FBI agent Joe Pientka has been interviewed behind closed doors for "multiple hours" by investigators with Senate Judiciary + Senate Oversight/Governmental Affairs. In 2018, then-Chairman @ChuckGrassley first sought
Pientka's testimony but the request was denied until now. WHY IT MATTERS: Pientka is at the intersection of key events in the #Durham investigation. Along with agent Peter Strzok, Pientka conducted the January 2017 WH interview of @GenFlynn
that led to his dismissal. More recently, declassified records showed Pientka + others used an August 2016 "defensive-briefing" to warn candidate Trump, Flynn + @GovChristie about national security threats to gather information on their line of questioning about Russia for the..
FBI probe known as Crossfire Hurricane. These events + decision making fall under Durham. @LindseyGrahamSC @SenRonJohnson @CBSNews

#FISA #Durham These newly declassified 2015 records show FBI moved quickly to warn HRC’s team - through a “defensive briefing” - about a possible foreign effort to influence her campaign “through lobbying efforts + campaign contributions” judiciary.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…
Context: Adding tweet with declassified 2016 FBI records that show “defensive briefing” for candidate Trump, @GenFlynn @GovChristie was also used to gather intel about their line of questioning on Russia. Former FBI lawyer Clinesmith copied on these records.
Clinesmith recently pleaded guilty 1 count false statements 18 USC 1001 @LindseyGrahamSC @CBSNews
