FBI Director Christopher Wray has ordered an internal review of the bureau's investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
"Although the FBI does not have the prosecutorial authority to bring a criminal case, the Inspection Division can and will evaluate whether any current onboard employees engaged in actions that might warrant disciplinary measures," the statement said. Late last month, the Justice Department also turned over four pages of records to Flynn's legal team showing how the FBI debated handling his interview in early 2017.
Intelligence veterans said the notes depicted the extraordinarily sensitive nature of an investigation into a newly inaugurated president's highest-profile national security aide. But President Donald Trump and Flynn's other defenders pointed to the documents as a smoking gun showing that the FBI tried to trap the former national security adviser into pleading guilty.
Trump and his allies seized on the development and said it showed Biden and others improperly and illegally unmasked the former national security adviser's identity.on Wednesday debunked that allegation when it revealed that Flynn's name was never "masked" in the first place.
We're going to investigate ourselves for wrongdoing...Gee wonder what the outcome will be !
