based in part on the argument that his lies were not material to an underlying investigation. Boente signed one of the warrants renewing the FBI's authority to surveil Flynn. The warrants, known as FISA warrants, were renewed several times and had to be approved by a judge.Boente also said in a recently leaked memo that material put into the public record about Flynn was not exculpatory for the former national security advisor.
Fox Business host Lou Dobbs said on April 27 that,"Shocking new reports suggest F.B.I. General Counsel Dana Boente day was acting in coordination with F.B.I. Director Christopher Wray to block the release of that evidence that would have cleared General Flynn." Wray formally asked for Boente's resignation, but the decision to end his tenure at the FBI came from Attorney General William Barr's Justice Department, which oversees the FBI, according to two sources.
A spokesman for the FBI said Boente announced on Friday his decision to retire, which will take effect June 30. "Few people have served so well in so many critical, high-level roles at the Department," Wray said in a statement."Throughout his long and distinguished career as a public servant, Dana has demonstrated a selfless determination to ensure that justice is always served on behalf of our citizens."Julia Ainsley is a correspondent covering the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice for the NBC News Investigative Unit.
You mean ordered by Hitler and Goebels, aka ?Rump and SOBarr?
If you,were charged with a crime you didn't commit, you would want the evidence that proves you are innocent to be provided to your defense .this crook denied Flynn that evidence .
I think we will see it was a valid decision to get his resignation.
Do not be distracted by that stupid space hullabaloo. This is too threatening
Dont ya just love this headline? It was Fox that got him fired for reporting a story. Not because he was a crooked lawyer, and NBC refuses to cover the corruption.
Putin controls the news in Russia.. think about that! Trump and Fox News are not for truth or facts. They want to control events to coverup lies and deceit.
JillayneMC It's going to be a scary 8 months until we get a Justice Dept that isn't TraitorTrumps personal ambulance chasers.
Fox News and higher ups we all know who they are. This Administration have to go. They have destroyed USA 🇺🇸. Sad 😞 but true!

The youth are upset about racial injustice which has also highlighted income inequality. Boomers have indebted the youth for the creation of wealth for boomers only. Until boomer politicians deal with student debt, affordable healthcare, and income equality protests will continue
If you all were legitimate journalists you would know what many of us who don’t watch Fox knew 2-3 yrs ago. Boente signed the 2nd FISA, I almost had a stroke when Wray hired him as General Counsel. He is Swamp 101. How is it possible that a third of the country knows more about
Fox state run tv is running our government not trump.

American exceptionalism is thinking all the time 'It cannot happen here. '
Gutting law enforcement and investigation honest brokers continues. No one will be able to investigate Trump if he and Barr have anything to say about it.
Trump with the help of the coronavirus are accelerating America’s decline.
Another domino. It may be just wishful thinking, but I don't feel like Trump's reign is going to last until November. Shit is falling apart. The place is burning down. Every evil act just another log on the fire. The rage has been released.
