So one thing that I will say is that we did learn some new information. However, some things are still redacted that I think probably shouldn't be.

So everybody knows about Christopher Steele and the Steele dossier and how the FBI used that baseless nonsense to target the Trump campaign to obtain FISA warrants and even used it in the intelligence community assessment on Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Not many people know about Stefan Halper. So he was an FBI confidential human source.

But one of the things that we learned here is that Stefan Helper, when he met with the FBI, made some allegations about Mike Flynn and an event that Flynn had been at back in 2014 when he was Obama's director of the DIA. Yes. And Halper basically made these claims that Mike Flynn left this meeting with, you know, someone maybe connected to the Russians. Yes. All this stuff.

So we have new information about how there was no evidence of that. The FBI knew there was no evidence of that. However, the FBI used that as part of their justification to investigate Mike Flynn. Now, this investigation of Mike Flynn never turned up anything. One of the FBI agents leading the investigation of Mike Flynn said there's nothing to any of this. And yet the FBI kept this going.

In fact, Peter Strzok stopped the Flynn investigation from closing right at the last second. So that the FBI could then go and interview him for a perjury trap early in the Trump administration.
