The DOJ has turned over notes from disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok that are said to be highly exculpatory to Gen Michael Flynn.
The notes will not be made public because they are under a protective order.
A copy of the notes has been turned over to Sidney Powell, Flynn’s attorney.
My question is why did the DOJ turn over these notes and not the FBI?
FBI boss Christopher Wray has built up quite a record of concealing evidence and should have been fired ages ago.
It’s possible that Wray gave the notes to the DOJ, but I wouldn’t bet any money on that.

Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin informed U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan of the discovery in a midday court filing, revealing the single page of notes were believed to have been taken by Strzok during the critical juncture of early January 2017 when FBI agents recommended shutting down their investigation of Flynn only to be overruled by FBI superiors.
“This page of notes was taken by former Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok. While the page itself is undated; we believe that the notes were taken in early January 2017, possibly between January 3 and January 5,” Sherwin wrote in the motion. The prosecutor said it was possible more documents may be produced to the court.
The page of notes was not made public with the filing because they are currently subject to a protective order.
A source directly familiar with the discovery of the document told Just the News they include one paragraph of notes believed to be taken around Jan. 4, 2017, the date Strzok relayed a request from FBI leadership to the lead agent in the Flynn case asking him not to shut down the investigation as had been planned. The notes are “highly exculpatory,” the source said, declining to describe them more fully because they are under seal.
