As a result, one FBI case agent who reported to Pientka believed Steele was the source, according to Horowitz. The drafts of the Page FISA application, however, tell a different story.

With Strzok's termination from the FBI, Pientka is perhaps the only remaining FBI witness against Flynn. Prior to the FBI's warrant application to monitor Page, the FBI reached out to the CIA and other intelligence agencies for information on Page, Horowitz discovered.
