And let’s not forget the McCabe brief of the functional leadership of DOJ in March 2017. This was dress rehearsal for Go8. Also, do we know who Clinesmith was reporting to when he made his fabrications? Was he under Mueller at that time? Because Weismann has taken strong positions as to Clinesmith not breaking law.

CIA said Carter Page was MASKED source. So you could argue that technically Clinesmith didn't break the law, I agree. MASKED meaning under cover. You don't ever give up a CIA active agent. Well, Crossfire Unit didn't care. And this is something none of you want to talk about. But it needs to be discussed just what in the Same Hell a masked source for CIA was doing in a Presidential campaign.

Never really flashed hard on this point. Googling, Page did approach the campaign directly through Ed Cox. He wasn’t sought out by Lewandowski. I always assumed Page’s CIA relationship was incidental to his early business and something in his past and stagnant. But, I reckon, that would be naive. Some call it an octopus. Thanks.

He was likely recruited by Ohr and Preet. They moved him off the prior case he was working on (Burykov) that was wrapping up and right away onto Crossfire Unit. Is my guess. Same M.O. in both cases. In Burykov he did same thing. Crazy letters and speeches. Each time preceding the FISA and all amendments.

Great stuff Hans. Wish you had been on Durham's team. Although the Durham Report is damning in many respects, there is no doubt that the FBI miscreancy was inadequately addressed.

One question, was the "not" supposed to be in the first sentence here? (I put it in caps)

"Even more troubling, Comey misrepresented the situation by claiming that Papadopoulos had NOT confirmed the FBI’s assertions regarding an approach by the Russian government. In reality, Papadopoulos had repeatedly and vehemently denied that any such interaction had ever occurred."

Thanks for your kind words. It is true that Comey said that Papadopouos had not confirmed but what he should've said is that Papadopoulos denied.

Daniel Jones came facilitated keeping the media afloat in news all through the Mueller investigation that was paid for by Soros? Is that right? Wasn't Tom Daschle working with Jones in 2017? That would make an interesting story. How Jones came to be funded by Soros.

I keep thinking all these guys are Bush guys. Bush appointed Comey to DOJ. He appointed Mueller. He appointed Barr. He nominated Rosenstein as USAG for Maryland. This is so crazy to think this was only about getting Trump. They had to have had a vested interest in Hillary too, you would think.
