Summary

Frank Figliuzzi, Former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence at the FBI, joins Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman on "Skullduggery." First, Isikoff and Klaidman discuss the recent FBI court filing slip-up that revealed the name of the Saudi Official suspected of directing support for the 9/11 hijackers. Then, Figliuzzi warns that there may be more coming from AG Bill Barr to discredit the Mueller Investigation aside from his request to drop the criminal charge against General Flynn.
