Maga loyalist expands investigation into intelligence officials who angered Trump

"There is simply no factual basis for this investigation. It violates both DoJ and FBI standards that require a factual predicate. It is a fishing expedition where it has been clearly established – by two prior independent counsel investigations and a congressional investigation led by the current Secretary of State – there are no fish," he said. Bromwich added: "The government has refused to provide the basis for venue in Florida, nor has it been willing to describe the statutory violations it is pursuing. That is unprecedented in my 40 plus years of federal criminal practice.",..

DOJ faces new questions about accuracy of Flynn filings - POLITICO

The Justice Department is already facing sharp questions from a judge about altering sensitive documents in the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Now, two lawyers connected to the case say DOJ has made new mischaracterizations in its attempt to clean up the mess. The department claimed late Monday that it had consulted with lawyers for former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe and former FBI agent Peter Strzok and confirmed that two sets of handwritten notes — key evidence in Flynn’s case — were valid and free of any alterations. But correspondence between the two attorneys and DOJ reveal that neither vouched for the accuracy of the documents....

FBI agent who helped launch Russia investigation says Trump was 'compromised'

... even if Trump didn't formally conspire with the Russian election interference operation, the president was badly compromised. He was compromised, Strzok writes, because of his questionable business dealings, the hush money paid on his behalf to silence women, shady transactions at his charity and, most importantly, "his lies about his Russia dealings," including his secret 2015 effort to build a Trump Tower in Moscow even as he told the world that he had no business with Russia....  "Putin knew he had lied. And Trump knew that Putin knew — a shared understanding that provided the framework for a potentially coercive relationship between the president of the United States and the leader of one of our greatest adversaries," writes Strzok, who was deputy assistant director of the FBI's Counterintelligence Division.
