Mikhail Fradkov, the Director of the Russian Institute For Strategic Studies, was the Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) from October 6, 2007 to October 5, 2016.

Mikhail Fradkov actively negotiated with Director Leon Panetta during the Russian spy swap in three phone calls until they sorted a deal on July 3, 2010.

Fradkov was also one of the many sanctioned by the Trump Administration on April 6, 2018.

The Russian Institute For Strategic Studies denied any involvement in any Russian interference.

On November 2, 2016, it was announced that Mikhail Fradkov would replace Leonid Reshetnikov as the head of the Russian Institute For Strategic Studies in January 2017.

Leonid Reshetnikov served in the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) from April 1976 to April 2009, where he ended his career as the Head of Analysis and Information Department with the rank of Lieutenant General.

On April 29, 2009, he became the Director of the RSSI.
Reshetnikov stated that Carter Page's visit to Moscow, Russia from December 8, 2016 to December 13, 2016 could be a potential opportunity to build ties between Russia and the Trump Administration.

Carter Page was not a part of the campaign by then.

Reshetnikov has also denied everything, suggesting that anything written to the top leadership of Russia by the RSSI is marked "classified as secret", while freelancers or former employees could have written recommendations treated not seriously.

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".
