The FBI sought to block Flynn’s support for the agent, asking a federal administrative law judge in May 2014 to keep Flynn and others from becoming a witness in her Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) case, memos obtained by Circa show. Two years later, the FBI opened its inquiry of Flynn.

The EEOC case, which is still pending, was serious enough to require McCabe to submit to a sworn statement to investigators, the documents show.

The deputy director’s testimony provided some of the strongest evidence in the case of possible retaliation, because he admitted the FBI opened an internal investigation into Gritz’s personal conduct after learning the agent “had filed or intended to file” a sex discrimination complaint against her supervisors.

Many of the facts of the story are verified. For example:

But being a leftist, we understand that you prefer trollishness, ignorance, and your cartoonish delusions to hard facts and reality so, it's okay

FBI officials declined to answer any questions from Circa, including whether McCabe ever considered recusing himself or has recused himself from the Flynn aspects of the Russia probe. McCabe declined comment via the FBI press office.

But one of the FBI’s most famous whistleblowers says McCabe has an ethical obligation to recuse himself in the Flynn probe to avoid the appearance of retribution or bias.

“I don't think they have any choice. He has to step aside,” said Frederic Whitehurst, who as an FBI special agent and forensic chemist blew the whistle on misdeeds inside the FBI crime lab two decades ago and prompted widespread reforms.

“If he stays involved, the case against Flynn has no credibility,” explained Whitehurst, now often called as an expert witness in court cases. “If there are criminal charges that could go against Flynn, that's got to go to court. And those agents at some point may be called before a grand jury and anything he (McCabe) said to them about Flynn could be used as exonerating information or evidence of misconduct.”

Whitehurst said he saw senior FBI officials, including then-Director Louis Freeh and then-General Counsel Howard Shapiro, recuse themselves in the 1990s from his whistleblowing case to avoid looking they were involved in retribution after he made allegations of wrongdoing by the bureau

“Louie and Howie did it, and that sets the precedent I think,” Whitehurst said.

Flynn is in enough trouble all by himself.

Yeah, he did -- we already know that, from his unreported consulting with foreign governments.

Probably why he wants immunity.

You might explain that to Flynn then, since it was he who requested it.

Well, I did. It's well-reported that Flynn requested immunity.

I'm sorry you find sharing facts "trolling," but if that's the case, you're going to see a LOT of "trolling."

Retribution for a totally inconsequential, unheard-of event in 2015 that had no long-lasting effects on anyone involved?

I'm sure the RWNJs are happy to have anything that will make them think that the Russia investigation is either fake or a massive conspiracy, but this is really desperate.
And there's probably also a good reason I've never heard of circa.com before today, right?

No, Flynn offered public testimony for immunity. Which could mean several things. Like for instance testifying against the FBI and having assurance that they couldn't retaliate against him. There's obviously a few different ways to look at it and I'm sure when Loretta Lynch is on the hot seat you'll think of a couple.

You're assuming quite a bit. And you've said nothing that disagrees with my point -- you just added the possible reason for requesting that immunity.

I've said in many places I'm for investigating the lot of them, sort it out, move past it.

But in a Congress desperate to look like it's doing something, we're going to get a lot of theater.
