#Election2020 A source with direct knowledge of the FBI interview tells @CBSNews that former Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski was interviewed by the FBI, with counsel present, at the bureau's Washington Field Office, on October 23 for approximately 4-5 hours. About
a half dozen agents took part, at various points, of the interview. The source said it included an "examination and review" of the 3 phones to confirm the authenticity. Bobulinski says he used the phones to communicate with Hunter Biden + HB's business team. The FBI interview was
described as voluntary + the source said the discussion included his business dealings with Hunter Biden + his team on the Chinese firm CEFC as well as Bobulinski's "exposure to other Biden family business deals" globally. At the time of the 2017 CEFC texts + emails, the former
VP was a private citizen. At the last debate, Candidate Biden said "nothing was unethical" + "I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life." First reported @WeAreSinclair

SCOOP #Durham: @CBSNews obtains 94-page declassified FBI spreadsheet, widely cited by IG Horowitz, but not public until now. Recently released to Senate investigators, the FBI spreadsheet was part of a broader effort to corroborate the Steele dossier claims.
While lightly redacted, the bureau spreadsheet shows the FBI relied heavily on media reporting to back up claims about Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and others.  IG Horowitz faulted the FBI over lack of corroboration + evidence of circular reporting.
IG Horowitz page 5 found dossier author Christopher Steele spoke to the Yahoo news reporter prior to publication of a September 23 article. The FBI spreadsheet cites the SAME article on page 51 as supporting evidence.  IG Horowitz also faulted the FBI for using the Yahoo

#Durham This morning, @LindseyGrahamSC went further on recent Comey testimony about Sept 2016 CIA investigative referral to FBI over alleged 3rd party discussion of HRC approved plan “concerning candidate Trump + Russian hackers.” Graham told @MariaBartiromo, “Comey said that
didn’t ring a bell. But when you look at the source documents, it went directly to him. So if we can prove, he actually knew about this request
and did nothing, then he could be charged with perjury. He said he didn’t know anything about all the problems with the dossier. That
the subsource was a (suspected) Russian agent. If we can find somebody, no that’s not true. I briefed him. He’s in trouble. If the Clinton Foundation used money to pay for this smear campaign, they’re in trouble. Anybody who hides evidence from the court, that alters evidence,

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
