SO, NOT ONLY NOT GROUPTHINK BUT THEY KEPT SKEPTICS ON BOARD? GOT IT:
Feds air FBI agent's gripes about Flynn probe (KYLE CHENEY and JOSH GERSTEIN, 09/25/2020, Politico)
A 13-page summary of an interview with Flynn case agent William Barnett, made public in a court filing by prosecutors just before midnight Thursday, also revealed that the veteran agent harbored deep doubts and skepticism about the merits of the investigation into Flynn's potential ties with Russia -- at least in its early stages -- and questioned the Mueller team's tactics in the broader probe of the Trump campaign's contacts with Russians, known as Crossfire Hurricane.Though Barnett said he repeatedly expressed those doubts to colleagues and superiors -- and says he feared groupthink and a "get Trump" attitude was driving the investigation forward -- he continued to be included in the work of Mueller's attorneys during sensitive interviews.
He damns his own theory of the case.
