Strong Pawnee vibes at White House this morning as a raccoon attacked multiple news crews on North Lawn. 🦝 allegedly grabbed pant leg of a photographer & then a corespondent before being fended off. (WH 🦝🦝 🦝 pictured here in more peaceful times.)
Even the raccoons know the White House Press Corps are jackals & predators to be attacked.
They should give that trash panda a lifetime supply of dog kibble & a nice plush home on the White House grounds so he can continue to treat the press as they deserve to be treated.

UPDATE: Sources tell @CBSNews White House reaching out to @USGSA about aggressive 🦝 who allegedly attacked crews this AM. #MondayMorning
Alright, good folks, time for a thread. Thank you to @techno_fog for posting this link to the FBI/DOJ FD302 of FBI Special Agent William Barnett’s interview by US Attorney John Jensen of the Eastern District of Missouri.
It should be noted that USA Jensen of EDMO was assigned to review Crossfire Razor, the #flynn investigation, for criminal activity & misconduct.
This FD302 was released to Gen Flynn’s lawyer Sidney Powell as part of this on going investigation.

Supplemental filing - Barnett 302
2. Within the first opening paragraphs of this FD302 bombs are already falling. Big bombs. The first here is something i’ve discussed at length with @tracybeanz - the use by FBI & DOJ personell of Microsoft Lync instant messenger. The internal agencys’ servers are subject to backups & archiving. In other words, Jensen & other investigators working with him likely have recovered huge conversations between all the parties. They could wipe their phones, but they cannot wipe out the Lync conversations.
By the way, those are official government records & the are subject to Freedom Of Information Act request. (FOIA)
The second major disclosure is that from the beginning, Special Agent Barnett saw the entire ‘crossfire hurricane’ case as quote ‘supposition on supposition’. In other words, mythical conspiracy theories being chased down in the never ending effort to ‘get Trump’.

3. Wait a sec: so strzok personally assigns SA Barnett to the crossfire razor investigation but he doesn’t have access to the case files? He’s the case agent on Crossfire Razor, the sub investigation into Flynn. But he has to get casefiles from an analyst? They weren’t very serious about this investigation at this point. He even calls it unclear & disorganized.
Barnett also notes the predication for opening the case is weak at best. The weak predication, use of National Security Letters to get around not having subpoena power or warrants, its not legitimate from the start.
SA Barnett states up front this was ‘treading lightly due to upcoming election’- they wanted to get dirt to help Hillary win but not get caught interfering.

4. On the day of the election, SA Barnett & FBI CI Analyst 1 have a blunt discussion & conclude they don’t understand point of this investigation & believe it’s a waste of time.
In other words, the people on the case looking at it objectively see no point to it. That’s because the objective was to interfere in the election, not to protect National Security: natsec was nothing more than a pretext to do it- an excuse.
Another bombshell: usually SA’s who are cases officers have the authority to close their own cases. Crossfire Razor was different- only HQ had that authority, not the case agent. Comey & McCabe were the ones making that decision.
Further into this screen shot Barnett states it had become more ‘complex’ because Trump won & Flynn was going to be National Security Advisor. I read this to say that the level of importance of this investigation in subverting an incoming Trump admin went to an 11 on a scale of 10.

4. (Continued) Barnett called out analyst 3 & the Supervisory Special Agent overseeing it who i believe was Joseph Pientka- asks them what the end game is? Clearly they didnt give Barnett an answer. Barnett suggests interviewing Flynn to get to the heart of the matter, and they flat out tell him no.
So Barnett goes to Special Agent In Charge of WFO (washington field office) who floats interview suggestion to higher HQ (comey & mccabe & likely J Baker & L Page); they reject it flatly.
What Barnett doesnt know & we knew from previous Strzok/Page text releases was they (comey, mccabe, strzok, preistap, baker & page & others) were already planning an Ambush interview of Flynn deliberately designed to entrap him. Sally A Yates & Mary McChord were integral to this.
Remember this? 👇
