"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".

buzzfeednews.com/article/alimwa…
"The FBI repeatedly stressed to DNC officials the necessity of obtaining direct access to servers and data, only to be rebuffed until well after the initial compromise had been mitigated."

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?

FBI email chain may provide most damning evidence of FISA abuses yet thehill.com/hilltv/rising/…
Just before Thanksgiving, House Republicans amended the list of documents they'd like President Trump to declassify in the Russia investigation. With little fanfare or explanation, a string of emails between the FBI and the DOJ was added to their wish list.
The targeted documents may provide the most damning evidence to date of potential abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), evidence that has been kept from the majority of members of Congress for more than two years.

@TheLastRefuge2 HEY SD, get a load of this... the raid was requested and conducted by the FBI Baltimore office. The FBI SAIC in Baltimore is Gordon B. Johnson.

(GRU), which would be considered the equivalent to U.S. CIA or the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) used “fictitious online personas” including DCLeaks and Guccifer 2.0 (Conspirators).

 It goes on to say that the Conspirators, around June 2016, used Guccifer 2.0 persona to release “stolen documents” through a website maintained by “Organization 1” (Wikileaks) and continued to do so until November 2016.

1/ @_ImperatorRex_ and @wakeywakey16 have done threads recently about the State Dept and it's involvement with Russiagate. Here are a few more tidbits, specifically revolving around Jon Finer
2/ Jon Finer was John Kerry's Chief of Staff at the State Department when all of this went down in 2016. Kerry promoted him into that role in March 2015.
3/ He is a young guy. Same age as Ben Rhodes? I think of these two guys in the same mold. Except where Rhodes is Obama's sidekick, Finer is Kerry's sidekick.
