UPDATE: Recently Released Comey Testimony Provides Further Evidence of The Original Flynn 302 Written by Pientka Before It Mysteriously Went Missing…
Posted on May 15, 2020 by sundance
FBI Agents Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka interviewed National Security Advisor Michael Flynn on January 24, 2017. According to documents presented in the court case, agent Peter Strzok did the questioning and agent Joe Pientka took most of the notes.
Following the interview agent Pientka then took his hand-written notes and generated an official FD-302; an FBI report of the interview itself. There has been a great deal of debate over the first draft, the original FD-302 as it was written by Joe Pientka. In the case against Flynn the DOJ prosecutors never presented the original Pientka 302.
On May 2, 2020, the DOJ, using new information gathered by U.S. Attorney Jeff Jensen, declassified and released a segment of James Comey testimony that was previously hidden. Within the transcript Comey says Pientka wrote the Flynn 302 on January 24th immediately following the interview.

So, Comey briefed the WH concerning the contents of the original draft of the 302, but later Strzok basically rewrote the 302? Sounds like intentional deception, given the source, Comey.

It was Strzok and his concubine married lover Page who rewrote it together.

IIRC, their rewrite was after Comey briefed the WH, meaning that Comey either gave an inadvertently false briefing or a briefing that was a planned lie.
