Friday is the deadline for the FBI and Justice Department to give the Senate Judiciary Committee key documents in the Michael Flynn case.
In a May 11 letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray, Grassley noted that more than a year ago, on Feb. 15, 2017, the Judiciary Committee requested a copy of the transcript of a Dec. 2016 phone call between Flynn and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. It was that call that led the FBI to go to the White House to question the newly installed national security adviser on Jan. 24, 2017, just four days into the Trump administration. And it was that questioning that led to Flynn pleading guilty to lying to the FBI.
"Director Comey specifically told us during that briefing that the FBI agents who interviewed Lt. General Michael Flynn 'saw nothing that led them to believe [he was] lying,'" Grassley wrote. Comey "led us to believe … that the Justice Department was unlikely to prosecute [Flynn] for false statements made in that interview."
On Dec. 1, 2017, with special counsel Robert Mueller in charge of the case, Flynn pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the FBI.

He made it up. There are no news sourcing reporting anything the OP is saying either.

It's a done deal. It is happening. The word isthat many of these guys did not want to come out under the "whistle blower" idea as they would have to pay their own legal fees and with Muellers crew that means losing all of your property and livelihood.

BWAHAHAHA...
No leftist friends are even under investigation..
Especially not anyone on the left that matters such as current or past elected officials..
Look at the way they word the request for an investigation..
It isn’t an investigation of hillary or obama nor anyone else specifically..
It is an obscure reference to “seeing if the fbi is biased against republicans..”
It is the kinda investigation where the gop will claim they found bias, but none that is worth pressing charges over or taking any other legal action..
Akait is a dog and pony show investigation that isn’t even investigating a crime..
It is propaganda meant for stupid people..

I couldn’t get your link to work, but I did find the letter requesting Pientka be available for questioning.
It doesn’t say anywhere there that Pientka asked to be subpoenaed, nor that he plans to testify against Comey. Where are you getting that particular information?
Chairman Grassley ...wants to see the notes of these people and he wants to interview the one agent who was there who was very, very, very serious about how Flynn did not deceive. That agent that he wants to interview is the agent who went to the Inspector General and complained about the conduct of Strzok and McCabe.
He has been asking for those records for a year specifically because he knows they can’t release them..
12 trump associates have already been indicted
