#Durham #Flynn 13 page DOJ filing includes unvarnished assessment from FBI Agent assigned to Flynn case, code named “Crossfire RAZOR.” Pages 1 + 2 Agent William Barnett said case theory was “supposition on supposition” + predication or basis for opening probe “not great” 
On pages 3 + 5 Agent Barnett said FBI team considered closing Flynn probe November 2016 (which moves up timeline) + called case “exercise in futility” + believed he was “cut out” of Jan 2017 Flynn WH conducted by @petestrzok where Flynn had no lawyer + WH counsel not advised
Page 6 + 7 Agent Barnett said “RAZOR Investigation was problematic” + he “wished to be removed” because it could end up with IG + FBI lawyer Clinesmith who recently pleaded guilty to altering CIA email about @carterwpage also handled Flynn data collection requests
Page 8, 9 + 13 Agent Barnett thought Special Counsel lawyer Rhee “was obsessed with FLYNN and Russia and she had an agenda” + thought some members SCO team (Special Counsel Office) had “the get TRUMP attitude” + “prosecution of Flynn by SCO was used as means to ‘get TRUMP’”
NOTE: MAJOR section pages 12 + 13, based on sequencing, appears to be Special Counsel Office post August 2017 which is same time frame as @RodRosenstein scope memo. This IS still under seal - suggests ongoing interest Durham. @CBSNews
