Starting now! Our partnership with @postlive and a conversation on disinformation with #JamesClapper @alynnbryant @GrahamBrookie and our own @SuzanneNossel! washingtonpost.com/washington-pos…
@postlive @AlynnBryant @GrahamBrookie @SuzanneNossel "This is an ideal time for adversaries...to look for ways to further confuse us, to distract us, and of course you can bet our good friends the Russians are doing this by further sowing seeds of disinformation," says Clapper. 
Clapper: "I think a lot has been done to secure the voting apparatus...acknowledging the fact that it's very decentralized." Says that is both a strength and a weakness. Makes broad scale interference more difficult. CC @LarryNorden @lizlhoward

News Analysis🔎The belief that Lt. @GenFlynn was set up by the @FBI has been backed up by a string of evidence in documents released by the #DOJ. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/flynn-was-set-…
#Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 to one count of lying to the @FBI.
On May 7, however, the #DOJ dropped the case against him, saying that when #FBI interviewed #GeneralFlynn on Jan. 24, 2017, the investigation into him was “no longer justifiably predicated.” theepochtimes.com/doj-drops-case…

In the #IGReport, #Horowitz detailed a last-minute flurry of activity that transpired ahead of the issuance of the @CarterWPage #FISA, including a possible intervention from then-Deputy @FBI Director McCabe, to push a seemingly reluctant #DOJ official, Stuart Evans, for approval.
“Footnote 276” was initially redacted in the #IGReport, but was declassified, among other footnotes, following a request from @SenRonJohnson and @ChuckGrassley.
In the declassified footnote, IG #Horowitz elaborated on the urgency behind #LisaPage’s communications with #McCabe:

One of the special @FBI agents who interviewed Lt. @GenFlynn at the @WhiteHouse in Jan 2017 played a much bigger role in the #FBI’s #CrossfireHurricane counterintelligence investigation than previously assumed, the #HorowitzReport reveals. justice.gov/storage/120919…
@FBI @GenFlynn @WhiteHouse The agent was first introduced into the public in a May 11, 2018 letter from Sen. @ChuckGrassley, who was inquiring about the @FBI’s interview with @GenFlynn.
“Make Special Agent Joe Pientka available for a transcribed interview with Committee staff,” Grassley said.

The newly released #IGReport noted the material failures of the @FBI—“not only the operational team, but also of the managers and supervisors, including senior officials, in the chain of command”—with regard to the #FISA warrant application on Trump campaign aide @CarterWPage.
#IGHorowitz’s findings were so significant that he recommended the @FBI’s “entire chain of command” outlined in his report to the #DOJ for “consideration of how to assess and address their performance failures.” justice.gov/storage/120919…
While observers have long pointed out that former @CIA Director @JohnBrennan appears to have played a key role in the #Spygate scandal, actions taken by #Brennan and the #CIA now appear to have become a central focus of investigators. (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/focus-in-spyga…
Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC said IG #Horowitz was “doing a very in-depth dive about the FISA warrant application” & “the behavior regarding the counterintelligence operation.”
Graham noted the IG report has been delayed because “every time you turn around, you find something new.”

Nothing made #JamesClapper more furious than leaks to the press, in July 2012 he implemented new lie detector procedures, citing the need for aggressive action and insisted these new strict policies would help root out "would be leakers" @JohnBrennan you should take one😂
"deterring" sure sounds like bullying doesn't it? Ask @SharylAttkisson @JamesRosenTV etc while the liberals scream FREEDOM OF PRESS like the previous admin was rainbows and butterflies.

Here is the 2013 memo from #JamesClapper "when it is determined that access to classified information is no longer required, the department or agency shall terminate such access" sounds perfectly reasonable.

@GOPPollAnalyst So many gems here!! Look at Cheryl Mills, 911 emails from her trusty gmail account seven containing classified info at the time with another 208 under review.
@GOPPollAnalyst At least she used a server with a built in backdoor, that was nice I’m sure China was giddy.
