NEW: Federal prosecutors acknowledge that dates written on former FBI officials Pete Strozk and Andy McCabe's notes were not written by them.

Instead, they say the dates were estimated dates created by a review team and attached by post-it notes and inadvertently scanned in.
As you may recall, in the past few weeks Strozk and MCabe have raised concerns that dates appeared on their handwritten notes filed in the Flynn case that they say they never wrote.

Today, prosecutors acknowledged they were right, they didn't write in those dates.
The prosecutors say it was FBI agents assigned to the Eastern District of Missouri who attached the dates via post-it note as "estimated dates" and then the documents were scanned at FBI headquarters without taking the post-it notes off first.
Today's disclosure was specific only to a series of notes that were filed in the past few weeks. Not to all the notes filed in the case.

NEW: An FBI agent who investigated Flynn recently told the FBI and prosecutors reviewing the Flynn case that he felt Flynn lied to the FBI in his interview to save his job but thought the prosecution of Flynn by Mueller was an effort to “get Trump”, according to a court document.
The agent, identified as William Barnett, apparently told those reviewing the Flynn investigation that the investigation into Manafort, Page, and Papadopoulos were proper because there were investigative angles to follow.
The 13 page interview summary was filed just before midnight tonight by prosecutors seeking to dismiss the case against Flynn.

A dismissal that is being reviewed by the judge who accepted Flynn's initial guilty plea.

NEW: ODNI NCSC Director William Evanina says they believe China prefers that Trump does not win reelection and Russia is trying to denigrate Biden, according to his update on covert and overt influence measures being used by those countries that ODNI has detected.
Evanina says, "many foreign actors have a preference for who wins the election, which they express through a range of overt and private statements; covert influence efforts are rarer. We are primarily concerned about the ongoing and potential activity by China, Russia, and Iran."
MORE: Evanina on Iran's preferences, "we assess that Iran seeks to undermine U.S. democratic institutions, President Trump, and to divide the country in advance of the 2020 elections."
