Deputy Assistant SOS Kathleen Kavalec’s written account of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.
And that confession occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele’s now-discredited dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign’s ties to Russia.
One member of Congress transmitted the memos last week to the Department of Justice’s inspector general, fearing its investigation of FISA abuses may not have had access to them.
Nonetheless, the FBI is doing its best to keep much of Kavalec’s information secret by retroactively claiming it is classified, even though it was originally marked unclassified in 2016.
The apparent effort to hide Kavalec's notes from her contact with Steele has persisted for some time.
The FBI under Director Christopher Wray classified the document as “secret” just a few days ago. To add injury to insult, the FBI added this hopeful note: “Declassify on 12/31/2041.” That would be 25 years after the 2016 election.
There are only two reasons we can think of to retroactively classify the Kavalec Memo: One is to try protect the CIA or the Obama White House National Security Council, or James Comey and the FBI;
the other is to preserve the integrity of an investigation of the CIA or the Obama White House National Security Council, James Comey and the FBI. Either way, it looks bad for Comey.
