1/ Don't know what to make of this discrepancy -

The OIG report on recovery of text messages says that Lisa Page joined the Special Counsel Office on May 28, 2017. oig.justice.gov/reports/2018/i…

2/ According to the @EpochTimes article today, Lisa Page testified that she joined Mueller's team on May 18, 2017.

3/ According to Epoch Times, Congressional investigators grilled Page regarding a briefing bw CIA Dir Brennan and Harry Reid.

4/ "Page noted that she remembered the letter sent by Reid, but seemed confused as to Brennan’s involvement and possible knowledge of the Steele dossier."

5/ "Worth noting is that while some within the FBI likely had parts of the dossier in July, the Counterintelligence investigative team did not receive it until mid-September during a trip to Rome where they met personally with Steele."

6/ According to the NY Times, there was a briefing about the dossier in late August. nytimes.com/2017/04/22/us/…

7/ "In late August, Mr. Comey and his deputies were briefed on a provocative set of documents about purported dealings between shadowy Russian figures and Mr. Trump’s campaign."

8/ I wonder if Congressional investigators got it wrong. Maybe Lisa Page didn't know anything about the Brennan/Reid meeting. Page & Strzok were likely texting about the late August meeting at the FBI about the dossier and Crossfire Hurricane.

9/ I also can't square the NYT claim that there was an August 2016 briefing about the dossier with Page's testimony that she hadn't heard of Steele in August, and the FBI first received the dossier in September. I guess the FBI didn't have the dossier in August when briefed.

10/ And whoever briefed the FBI on the dossier in August didn't tell them that Steele had authored it. If so, worthless briefing. Alternatively, Strzok never told Page that Steele had authored the dossier. I guess that's likely.
