Go back to the first days of August 2016. You travel to London to interview Australian diplomat Alexander Downer about his conversation with George Papadopolous on August 10th.
This is what he tells you:

You have no reason to doubt Downer’s story. He’s a senior diplomat of a “Five Eyes” country.
You investigate Papadopolous and learn that he has no ties to Russia.
However, your investigation does reveal he has extensive ties to Israel.

Your plate is already full. Sometimes even Captain America has to say “enough.” Besides, your section (CD4) isn’t responsible for Israel/FARA investigations.
So you hand the investigation off to the Deputy Assistant Directory (DAD) in CD3.

The acting Deputy Assistant Director in CD3 runs a confidential informant and a FBI agent (Stef Halper and “Azra Turk”) at Papadopolous.
They strike out.
BIG TIME.

Until the position is filled, you take over the investigation. What immediately jumps out at you is that Papadopolous told your informant a different story than the one he told Downer. When you think about it, his story sounds a little too emphatic. A little too rehearsed.

You suspect Papadopolous was tipped off. And who tipped him off? The Israelis, most likely. Possibly Mike Flynn.
What about that guy, Adam Lovinger, over at the Office of Net Assessment (ONA) who lodged complaints about Halper’s contracts?

So you turn the investigation over to Jen.
But, being Peter Strzok, you have to know what’s going on EVERYWHERE in the FBI.

And then the unthinkable happens -- Trump wins the election. Immediately after the inauguration, you have no idea what’s happening on Jen’s side of the house. Things are changing, even though YOU TOLD THE GROUP TO WAIT!

In January 2017, you make sure Adam Lovinger gets his security clearance pulled to prevent Flynn from appointing him to the National Security Council.
You’re also busy in your role as part of the perjury trap for Mike Flynn.

This thread was a summation of several threads I’ve written over the last 2 years. While it turns out that I was correct there were at least 2 countries being investigated, Russia & Israel, it’s impossible to know if my reasoning was correct until more info is revealed.

In this proposed scenario I’m aware I didn’t address some important topics.
I do have some theories on FISA warrants, but it would take a lot of explanation and weigh down the brief narrative I was attempting to construct. Better saved for another thread.

As for the question - when did the investigation of PapaD’s and his Israeli connections begin?
He claims it began in 2015 over his energy ties to Israel. That seems like a stretch to me.

What mattered most to Obama in the waning days of his presidency was the Iran Deal. It was his legacy. (And, for that matter, the Iran Deal is what mattered most to Bibi Netanyahu.)

I could see Obama authorizing spying if he thought it could preserve that deal. In his mind it would be a defensive, rooting out of Israeli spies.
It’s difficult to see how PapaD was seen as a threat to the Iran Deal in 2015.

In that scenario the Israel/FARA investigation starts too late. It treats the intrigue in the Office of Net Assessment in 2016 as unrelated. They are connected, I believe.

I lean toward the FARA investigation beginning after the Downer tip.
You can see why this is so difficult for former FBI & DOJ officials to explain.

How do you explain the Downer tip turning into a FARA investigation of Israel and, at the same time, being the predicate for an investigation of the Trump campaign and Russia?

Abramson blew his credibility by pushing the Russia hoax, but he’s not completely off base here. IMO, Strzok suspected what Abramson claims.

Now you’re probably thinking (I’m addressing you as you and not you as Peter Strzok) -- “great, now we can arrange everyone into two categories: All the bad guys belong in the FBI, Obama, anti-Israel faction. All the good guys in the opposite camp.”
