By suspending Cernovich's Medium account a while ago (I'm not sure when), it also led to people being unable to access the original "Susan Rice Requested Unmasking of Incoming Trump Administration Officials" article from April 2, 2017.

So here it is:

archive.is/xBMV7
Susan Rice was discovered as being behind unmasking requests in March 2017 by the White House Counsel's Office.

Ezra Cohen-Watnick actually discovered the issues in February 2017, but then passed this information over to the White House Counsel's Office, who then conducted their own review in March 2017.

bloomberg.com/view/articles/…
"As a procedural matter, an intelligence briefer would have had to clear a requested unmasking with the head of the agency providing the intelligence."

cbsnews.com/news/susan-ric…
"When such information on U.S. individuals is approved and provided by the intelligence community, it is typically given directly to the senior official who made the request and is not broadly disseminated."

On December 31, 2018, Josh Gerstein at Politico published the article "Suspect's Twitter messages played role in NSA hacking-tools leak probe".

politico.com/story/2018/12/…
"Messages that the former NSA computer security specialist, Hal Martin, sent via Twitter appear to have led to an FBI raid on his Maryland home and to his arrest on charges of retaining a vast trove of classified information there without permission."

politico.com/story/2018/12/…
For reference, Harold T. Martin III was arrested on August 27, 2016 after the Shadow Brokers initiated a hunt within the National Security Agency, where they found 16 years worth of classified information.

Since @jimsciutto doesn't understand that Christopher Steele was hired in June 2016 and the contract between Fusion GPS and Free Beacon ended before then, and that the first memo was written for June 20, 2016, I will explain it:

Christopher Steele was hired to write the dossier.
The fact that @CNN and @jimsciutto keep saying that Republicans funded the dossier would join with @Comey's idea that Republicans funded the dossier, which is completely incorrect.
You know, it's not the first time @jimsciutto has claimed that parts of the dossier have been verified. This was back in February 2017 though. I wonder who his source is?

"The DNC had several meetings with representatives of the FBI's Cyber Division and its Washington Field Office, the DOJ's National Security Division, and US Attorney's Offices, and it responded to a variety of requests for cooperation..."
"... but the FBI never requested access to the DNC's computer servers", Eric Walker, the DNC's deputy communications director, told BuzzFeed News in an email.

Quote is from Ali Watkins' BuzzFeed News article from January 4, 2017, "The FBI Never Asked For Access To Hacked Computer Servers".

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

I was just visited by two Secret Service officers regarding my tweets about #tRump. I told them I have no thoughts, plans, or intent to harm tRump and I never have. They advised not to post anything that may be interpreted as a threat. I was impressed with their professionalism.
Many are asking what I tweeted that prompted a Secret Service visit today. I won't restate the long deleted tweets because it might be misinterpreted as a threat. Critiques of #tRump are fine providing they do not cross the line in a way that one may interpret as a threat.
One of the Secret Service officers had a folder with print outs of some of my past tweets and my article, "A Mental Health Counselor’s Views on Speculations About President Trump’s Mental Health" psychcentral.com/blog/a-mental-…. I gladly summarized for them the thesis of my article.
