JUSTTHENEWS (John Solomon, Steven Richards) - Jack Smith team secretly met ex-CIA chief John Brennan in 2023, but FBI agents left notes blank
Doesn't democracy die in darkness anymore? Nothing about the substance of the meeting was recorded in the notes even though the U.S. Attorney's Manual requires agents in important cases to confer about notetaking ahead of time, memorialize that discussion and then take substantive notes of contacts with witnesses. Smith's team did neither.
Why is the lack of documentation regarding the meeting between Jack Smith's team and John Brennan considered a matter of accountability?
It is considered a matter of accountability because the team failed to follow the U.S. Attorney's Manual requirements. The manual mandates that for important cases, agents must have a pre-arranged plan for notetaking, document that plan, and record the substance of the contact, none of which occurred in this instance.
