Depends on when they were altered, most likely. Altered before they were filed? Not likely. Altered after they were filed, there would be a digital record of changes to the files.Rockdoc said:
I wonder if light will shine on the altered 302's or they will get away with it.
They way it was described it was an ambush. FBI had been cleared at the gate in advance because they were doing security orientation all week, and Strzok and Agent #2 just popped into Flynn's office. Flynn stated back in April he thought they were there in the training capacity and didn't realize he was being interrogated until it was over. Strzok knew exactly what he was doing and McCabe had a serious bone to pick with Flynn and wanted some payback. Robyn Gritz said she talked to Flynn and that what he told her too.GreyhoundDad said:
It seems like a person being interviewed by the FBI would his/her attorney there and also record it.

Speaking of Gritz, Google has censored Jason Goodman's live streaming video-cast starting last week. Every week Goodman had Thomas Paine Robyn Gritz and usually two other guests and they would breakdown what was going on, Google/YouTube shut him down. Very Strange
Quote:
House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes has sent a series of questions about the Trump dossier to a number of current and former government officials. The committee did not specify to whom Nunes sent the questions, but a spokesman said the letter has gone to 11 recipients.
The questions concern when the recipients first became aware of "the information contained in the Steele dossier," referring to the compilation of anti-Trump allegations compiled during the 2016 campaign by former British spy Christopher Steele. The letter asks who the recipients may have shared dossier information with. They ask when the recipient first learned that the dossier was financed by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. They ask when President Obama was made aware of the information in the dossier. And more.
The letter asks for answers by March 2. "If you do not provide timely answers on a voluntary basis, the committee will initiate compulsory process," the letter says, in a clear threat to subpoena any uncooperative recipients.
Here is the list of questions:
1. When and how did you first become aware of any of the information contained in the Steele dossier?
2. In what form(s) was the information in the Steele dossier presented to you? By whom? (Please describe each instance)
3. Who did you share this information with? When? In what form? (Please describe each instance)
4. What officials actions did you take as a result of receiving the information contained in the Steele dossier?
5. Did you convene any meetings with the intelligence community and/or law enforcement communities as a result of the information contained in the Steele dossier?
6. When did you first learn or come to believe that the Steele dossier was funded by a Democrat-aligned entity?
7. When did you first learn or come to believe that the Steele dossier was funded by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and/or Hillary for America (Clinton campaign)?
8. When did you first become aware that the Steele dossier was used to obtain a FISA order on Carter Page?
9. Was President Obama briefed on any information contained in the dossier prior to January 5, 2017?
10. Did you discuss the information contained in the Steele dossier with any reporters or other representatives of the media? If so, who and when?
I saw elsewhere that the 11 individuals were 'senior' officials in the Obama Administration.GCP12 said:

Ukraine's ousted President Viktor Yanukovych who fled to Russia in February 2014 following months of anti-government protests intends to return to his former position as leader of Ukraine, Yanukovych's lawyer Vitaly Serdyuk said, the TASS news agency reported Tuesday.
"He intends to return to Ukraine. Yanukovych has never resigned from his post, and [the manner of] his dismissal was a gross violation of the Ukrainian Constitution," Serdyuk said in an interview....
First of all, I like your thinking! Waterboarding would be awesome for all eleven---just for fun!whatthehey78 said:
Wonder what the "compulsory process" stated in Nunez letter's next to last paragraph might be? Waterboarding??
That is my hope.bmks270 said:
To make the allegations made in his memo, wouldn't Nunes have to already know all or at least some of the answers to the questions he is asking?
Quote:
A source close to the investigation is not ruling out the possibility that more officials could be questioned as the next phase of the probe continues.
Perhaps anticipating this phase of the investigation, an Obama State Department official earlier this month acknowledged he had regular contact with the dossier's author.
In a Washington Post column, Jonathan Winer detailed an extensive exchange of documents with Steele, a friend of his since 2009. He said he shared "more than 100 of Steele's reports with the Russia experts at the State Department" over a period of two years. These weren't related to American politics but he would later share information about the Trump dossier with the top levels of the Obama State Department.
Further, Winer said he shared separate Trump-related material passed on by a Clinton contact with Steele. And he acknowledged that material, originally from Clinton-tied activist/journalist Cody Shearer, made its way to the FBI.
In publishing his Op-Ed, Winer wrote that he suspects Nunes wants to know about his own relationship with Steele while at the Obama State Department.
Doubtful, I feel like he's trying to tidy up and get out of the way, because it is going to come hard on the heads of the top people in the FBI/DOJRockdoc said:
I'm starting to wonder if Mueller is saving a few bigger bombs to drop and coincide with the IG report to try and mitigate it and throw some shade on it.
this. If Muller has anything good, he would have kept the Russian indictments and the process stuff sealed.RoscoePColtrane said:Doubtful, I feel like he's trying to tidy up and get out of the way, because it is going to come hard on the heads of the top people in the FBI/DOJRockdoc said:

I think it will hurt his career in some ways. You think universities are going to line up to hire him as their president ala Ken Starr? Especially after this colossal nothing burger?oysterbayAG said:
The overwhelming evidence of FBI / DOJ corruption being discovered by the OIG has forced Mueller to discard his Black Hat that he so cherished and move in the opposite direction. He has no choice. " Facts are stubborn things "----- John Adams

In this situation I think they know some of the answers and are trying to extract more information than they already have. Two, three or four people are one small subset but he is asking the same questions of eleven different people. It is very difficult to get the same answers from eleven different people. There will be cracks and gaps.
This isn't a trial. This is akin to a discovery request, interrogatories, to be precise. His focus on communications suggests to me that he has access to the emails and text messages between more than a few of the people these are sent to, courtesy of IG Horowitz.Quote:
I have always heard that during trial a good attorney will almost never ask a question they do not know the answer to.
As a practical matter, a good trial lawyer has prepped their own witnesses enough that they know what to expect during a direct examination. But money and time constraints doesn't always mean every opposing witness is deposed prior to trial. So during cross examination you don't always know what the answer will be. You have a good guess but you get curve balls.Ag81Golf said:
Should have started my second paragraph "this is not a trial". Thanks for clarifying for everyone else.
