1. More on @FBI GC Baker: I think this is new: He became familiar with the Carter Page FISA: "because it was part of the broader investigation that we were conducting. So I was aware that we were investigating him." . . . "I am talking about 2016 in the summer" page 95. @maddow

2. But here's the problem: The first Page FISA order wasn't until Oct 2016. Baker testimony has him as part of an investigation in summer 2016. If No FISA order Page may have been caught under 702. He was in Moscow July 7 & 8. And I think the Eye of Sauron was watching him.

3. Here is a link to Page timeline: 702 poss. targets:

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich,

Andrey Baranov, Rosneft’s head of investor relations and a senior aide to Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin.

Then he meets Kysliak in at the convention.

4. And for the record, I predicted Trump would trigger FISA on May 22, 2016. I think the Counter-Intelligence Investigation is going to be a big deal and that's why Putin made his "so what" comment today. And if it drops soon, he's got better @WhiteHouse sources than @JonLemire.

5. Update and warning to @NSAGov: Barr's testimony about looking at other intelligence services beyond @FBI a comment that followed on Putin's comment about Mueller report being a mountain that produced a mouse, is evidence Barr is going to go after the heart of our

6. collection efforts. I fear that, if Barr is as bad as his conduct suggest, he is going to try to act to bring down our foreign intelligence infrastructure or, at a minimum, give our treasure to Russia. Exposure of Russian influence in our govt should be our highest

7. national security priority of our IC. If Barr attempts to cover any evidence of Russian penetration evidenced in the #MuellerReport for reasons beyond protecting sources and methods he must not succeed. Lawful means to alert Congress should be considered the highest priority.
