Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn's legal team has received notes taken by former FBI special agent Peter Strzok.

A court filing Tuesday said U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Jensen of Missouri, who was picked by Attorney General William Barr to review the government's case against Flynn, "obtained and analyzed" the document.

"While the page itself is undated; we believe that the notes were taken in early January 2017, possibly between January 3 and January 5," acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin for the District of Columbia wrote to Flynn's team. "These materials are covered by the Protective Order entered by the Court on February 21, 2018; additional documents may be forthcoming."

The one-page letter was submitted to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia as part of the discovery process.

If, 2 1/3 years after the Protective Order was issued, relevant materials are still being produced, I think it reasonable to ask:

* Why so bloody long for something so obviously relevant?

* How much more still has not been produced?

* Where in Hades is the threshold where prosecutorial misconduct triggers a dismissal of the case with prejudice?! Still producing relevant documents 2 1/3 years after being ordered to do so isn't far beyond that threshold?!

Breaking: DOJ reveals discovery of new Strzok notes in Flynn case

In the latest twist, the Justice Department disclosed to a federal court Tuesday it has located a new page of notes from Peter Strzok, the former lead FBI agent in the Russia collusion investigation, that are exculpatory to former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin informed U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan of the discovery in a midday court filing, revealing the single page of notes were believed to have been taken by Strzok during the critical juncture of early January 2017 when FBI agents recommended shutting down their investigation of Flynn only to be overruled by FBI superiors.

"This page of notes was taken by former Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok. While the page itself is undated; we believe that the notes were taken in early January 2017, possibly between January 3 and January 5," Sherwin wrote in the motion. The prosecutor said it was possible more documents may be produced to the court.

A source directly familiar with the discovery of the document told Just the News they include one paragraph of notes believed to be taken around Jan. 4, 2017, the date Strzok relayed a request from FBI leadership to the lead agent in the Flynn case asking him not to shut down the investigation as had been planned. The notes are "highly exculpatory," the source said, declining to describe them more fully because they are under seal.

"Highly exculpatory" is annoymorously sourced, but I doubt that Stzok's notes were a doodle of Trump with horns or the Thai restaurant order for his next tryst with Lisa Page.

The fact that Peter Strzok walks free still irks me
