How sad the tragic that the slander and false allegations Trump and America were forced to unjustly endure were the responsibility of government officials who were either corrupt or inept.
The electronic communications on the probe, dated Sept. 23, 2016, say the FBI received a referral of information from the DOJ.
“In that referral, the Department of Justice provided the FBI with a whitepaper that was produced by an anonymous third party,” the form says.
That was a “mistake in our paperwork,” Curtis Heide, a lead agent in the FBI’s Chicago office at the time, told the federal court in Washington on Tuesday.
Officials in the Chicago office “may have been conflating the U.S. Department of Justice and our own office of general counsel,” he claimed.
The DOJ’s Office of Inspector General alerted Heide to the error, the agent said, calling it a “typo.”
