Remember all those Fox twitter accounts that went dark right around the midterms?

I may have stumbled upon something that helps explain that.

But before we get to that, we need to talk about Pamela Browne, Senior Fox News Executive.

aka "The GRU Whisperer"

During the 2016 election, there was some back-channel communication going on between Russian intelligence and Fox News.

At the time, Mikah (@thatgingerish) took a screen grab of this interaction between Guccifer 2.0 and Pamela Browne.

(in case you're not aware, Marcel Lazar is the name of the Romanian hacker, Guccifer, after whom Guccifer 2.0 named themselves)

Who then is Pamela Browne? Her twitter account seems pretty low profile. No blue check. Very few followers.

But Muck Rack says this is indeed her account. /6

Pamela Browne is a SENIOR Fox News EXECUTIVE.

Her Fox profile says she's been with Fox since 1997 and launched "Fox Files." /7

But that's not all.

I believe she runs the Fox Files twitter account.

Fox Files was the first account she followed on twitter. Her personal account was set up the month after the Fox Files account was set up.

Very frequently when she tweets there is only one retweet – and that is from the Fox Files account. /9

Pamela has done several reports on the first Guccifer, Marcel Lazar.

She has done several interview with him, and these interviews are "exclusive." For some reason only Pamela gets them. /10

In September of 2016, Guccifer The First sent her this letter from his jail cell. Fox was pretty happy to print this since it said all kinds of crazy things about Hillary Clinton being a Satanic occult leader.

/12

Shortly after the publican of that letter was when Guccifer 2.0 approached Pamela on twitter and asked if SHE would print a letter from HIM to Guccifer The First.

She got another "exclusive" with the first Guccifer in January 2017.

In a nutshell, this said, "Guccifer - who was totally never commissioned by Russia - wants you to know that Guccifer 2.0 also has totally nothing to do with Russia."

foxnews.com/politics/gucci…

Fast forward to August, 2017.

This story says that Lazar and Pamela had "a series of calls."

Also, "Guccifer wants you to know Guccifer 2.0 has totally NOTHING to do with Russia!!!"

Then comes Russian State Media reiterating the Pamela Browne story.

Hey, that Pamela Browne story! Da!

Guccifer 2.0 – TOTES NOT RUSSIA!

sputniknews.com/world/20170813…

Fast forward again to July 13, 2018. Robert Mueller indicts 12 Russian military officers. And guess what?

GRU really is Russia!

(I'm getting to new stuff soon, I promise)

justice.gov/file/1080281/d…

Surely NOW Pamela will say, "Well, GOSH! I was communicating with Russian military intelligence during the 2016 election and I should probably call the FBI!"

Nyet.

Instead, there is an immediate response to blame everyone except Russia.

A slew of panicky buttery males.

The following week the Fox Files account pushed out articles saying: McCain BAD! Fusion GPS BAD!!

Also, "I spell Russian words better than James Comey!"

Then ... in SEPTEMBER 2018 ... there was THIS peculiar conversation.

A top Fox News executive calls out to Carter Page with a cryptic message: "Let's talk please as we spoke first."

What? How did you speak "first"? What did you talk about?

As it turns out, Pamela follows Carter Page on twitter, but he doesn't follow her.

Carter Page appears to be pretty darned selective when it comes to who he follows on twitter.

Only 28 accounts made the cut.

In fact Carter Page is SO selective, he only follows ONE Fox News twitter account.

Guess which one?

Let's take a step back and recall that a FISC judge approved several FISA warrants on Carter Page.

Carter Page has been assessed multiple times to be very possibly acting as a Russian agent.

And a Fox News executive is secretly communicating with him – likely through direct messages using the Fox Files account.

The same Fox executive who Guccifer (1.0) gave multiple "exclusives" to and the same Fox executive who secretly communicated with Guccifer 2.0.

And this same Fox News executive has done extensive damage to public perception of the Special Counsel investigation. She's printed slanderous material on many FBI officials who were initially involved in starting the investigation.

She's not particularly careful in covering her tracks. Can you imagine what sort of communications are possibly hiding in those DMs?

I think that's part of the reason those accounts have shuttered.

Addendum 1:

I think it's curious Lee Stranahan follows her. They both communicated with Guccifer 2.0 in 2016. Wonder what mysteries their DMs could reveal.

Addendum 2: She follows George Papadopoulos also. He doesn't appear to follow her back but could DM her whenever he wanted to.

Also, he doesn't appear to be nearly as selective as Carter Page.

Addendum 2 (cont) Pretty much if you have a red X in your name, or use crazy hashtags like "MAGA, QAnon or NoSharia #KAG (no clue)", you're in like Flynn.

I meant to say here, "Guccifer 2.0 really is Russia"
