FBI’s Russia collusion case fell apart in first month of Trump presidency, memos show
...
In rapid fire sequence in January 2017, U.S. officials:
• received multiple warnings about the credibility of informant Christopher Steele and his dossier;
•affirmed key targets of the FBI counterintelligence investigation made exculpatory statements denying collusion to undercover sources;
•concluded retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, Trump's first national security adviser, was not engaged in collusion with the Russians.
The latter revelation has mostly escaped much notice, contained in a single sentence in a once-sealed court motion filed by Flynn defense attorney Sidney Powell that requested what is known as Brady material, or evidence of innocence.
That motion dated Sept. 11, 2019 requested access to “an internal DOJ document dated January 30, 2017, in which the FBI exonerated Mr. Flynn of being ‘an agent of Russia.’”
