THREAD: My latest @FDRLST exposes two new facts about Crossfire Hurricane & FISA Abuse. thefederalist.com/2018/08/02/ins… It is complicated, especially if you haven't followed the details. Here are two BIG take-aways, but read entire piece AND links. 1/
2/ First: We now know State Dep't heavily involved. AND we have historical connection b/c FBI & State Dep't Office of International Visitors. In Feb. 2017, at D.C. national conference sponsored by STATE DEP'T Office of Intern'l Visitors, Maltese Prof. Joseph Mifsud invited
3/ to speak. Mifsud told Trump advisor @GeorgePapa19 that Russians had dirt on Hillary. FBI claims that is what prompted start of Crossfire Hurricane. Mifsud he talked to FBI in Feb. 2017 when in D.C. for State Dep't conference. THEN Mifsud went missing. DID State Dep't
4/ work w/ FBI to bring Mifsud to States? Why? Was he source or really Russian spy? And if latter, why didn't FBI arrest him? SECOND key point: We now have released FISA applications to compare. I went to see what DOJ/FBI told FISA court about Mifsud's interview. BUT
5/ section of @carterwpage FISA application discussing @GeorgePapa19 IDENTICAL between January 2017 & April 2017. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN: Between Jan. 2017 application & April 2017 application FBI interview Papadopoulos 2 times & Mifsud 1 time. The ONLY difference appears
6/ in a footnote that adds only 2 lines BUT also adds a NEW FOIA coding. Guess what that coding is for? b7D-1 which allows government to withhold information that “could reasonably be expected to disclose the identity of a confidential source.” And for Dems who want to ignore
7/ this all as tinfoil hat conspiracy, two pts: First, I discuss & reject two other theories-that Trump Tower Russians were working w/ Fusion or FBI & that Russian interpreter was informant. Second, I cite, link, and highlight undisputed evidence to support all of my points. END
