FBI Agent Joe Pientka – who lied the FISA Court and later interviewed Flynn – was promoted and moved to the SF area AFTER the FBI learned of serious problems in his FISA application.

The SF FBI Field Office has scrubbed him from their site.

See screengrabs below.

Public records reflect that Pientka relocated from DC to SF in the summer of 2019, after which he was listed as a SF Field Office Ass't Special Agent in Charge.

This was a year after the DOJ notified the FISA Court of *some* (but not all) of his FISA deficiencies in July 2018

Pientka was moved from DC once the IG Report was finishing up.

Putting this into context - the FBI/Wray has been keeping Pientka from the public spotlight and Congressional inquiry since 2018.

The FBI is certainly interested in taking care of Pientka. The reasons are apparent.

Now FBI Manager Pientka's lies and omissions to the FISC were material - and made under penalty of perjury.

He knew the dossier was fraudulent.

He knew of witness denials.

He lied about its accuracy.

Senate Republicans need to start hearings. Bring these guys in. Put them under oath.

This is on @LindseyGrahamSC

Tell Graham spokesman @KevinDBishop

Well, what do you know --
