If FBI only opened a formal CI investigation "after Comey firing" (5.9.17), what was it Comey told Grassley, Feinstein, Warner and Schumer in a secret briefing in March that turned them ashen faced ? Was there already a CI investig by then ?
If so, why this effort to push back to May the start date of the investigation ? My theory: there's an attempt to use the May 9-12 cascade of events (Comey fired, Lavrov/Kislyak in Oval and Holt interview) as the 'trigger' b/c it will obscure that there was an investigation
much earlier. The question that will eventually be asked is: "What did the IC know, and when did they know it ?" The nub of it will be whether the IC sat on damning facts and allowed the American ppl to vote in a suspected Russian asset/agent in Nov. '16.
Bottom line: I suspect we'll discover that NYT is ("wittingly or unwittingly" !) facilitating the dissemination of a false timeline wrt to the initiation of the CI investigation.
