A member of Robert Mueller's team believed the special counsel's prosecution of Michael Flynn was an effort to "get Trump" and that the Trump-Russia collussion probe was a "dead end."
FBI agent William J. Barnett made the comments in a Sept. 17 interview at the Justice Department by Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Jeffrey Jensen.
Jensen was asked by Attorney General William Barr to review the case against Flynn. An appeals court has returned the case to a trial court judge who now must decide if he will grant a DOJ motion to dismiss charges against Flynn.
The judge, Emmet Sullivan, has refused to dismiss the motion, which was filed after the DOJ determined the interview of Flynn in which he allegedly lied to investigators had no legal foundation. Sullivan even has engaged outside counsel to argue against the motion.
