Thomas Firestone used to work as the Acting Chief of the Law Enforcement Section at the United States Embassy in Moscow. He also has a 14 year history at the United States Department of Justice.

Thomas Firestone was declared as "persona non grata" from Russia on May 5, 2013, apparently after being targeted by the FSB / Federal Security Service as a potential recruitment target, which failed.

"The Obama administration has raised the matter of Mr. Firestone's expulsion with the Russian government, according to one American government official."

nytimes.com/2013/05/20/wor…
"During his time at the US Embassy, Mr Firestone was closely involved in the case of Sergei Magnitsky, the Russian lawyer who was arrested in 2008 and died in detention in November 2009."

"'He was involved in many aspects, including a last-ditch effort to save Sergei Magnitsky and get him out of detention', said Jamison Firestone."

Note that Jamison Firestone and Thomas Firestone are NOT related.

"As that was happening, through late August and into the fall, the administration was preoccupied with making sure that it didn’t appear to be attempting to tip the scales in favour of Clinton, the Democrat nominee who had been Obama’s first secretary of state."
"That fear was enough to sideline Ben Rhodes, one of Obama’s longest serving staffers and the person in charge of crafting the White House’s national security communications strategy, from meetings about the potential response against Russia."
"His close friendship with Jake Sullivan, formerly deputy chief of staff in Clinton’s State Department and at the time a senior member of the campaign, prompted fears that his presence could be seen as a back channel to Clinton."

I wonder if I can work out the identity of this agent?
oh no nono

Looks as if I can pinpoint an agent.
So it could either be, presumably, George J. Ennis, Jr. (ASAC NY Counterintelligence), Alan E. Kohler Jr. (SSA, NY Counterintelligence) and Stephen M. Somma (SA, NY Counterintelligence).

COEUR D’ALENE – Jacob Anthony Lincoln, 28, of Moscow, was sentenced yesterday in U.S. District Court to 63 mos in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, for obscene visual representations, U.S. Attorney Bart M. Davis announced. Lincoln pleaded guilty on Mar 19, '18.
According court records, in 2016, law enforcement officers observed that a computer in the Moscow area was making child pornography available on the internet. This information, and other evidence, resulted in a state search warrant for Lincoln’s Moscow residence.

Is there any word for blaming your countrymen for an attack on them by hostile foreign soldiers besides "traitorous"?

I don't see how we call Donald Trump anything but a traitor to the United States now. This is a line in the sand every American needs to be on the right side of.
2/ Now Trump—who betrayed America while abroad by taking the side of hostile foreign soldiers against innocent American civilians—has declared the European Union America's foremost enemy. There's no way any American can justify that sort of language. The GOP must call Trump home.
3/ Congress would be not just justified but honoring its sworn duty to hold hearings on the statements made by Mr. Trump overseas and the question of whether he intends to uphold his Oath of Office to protect America and honor its alliances. His comments today are *that* obscene.

Today, @CER_EU publishes my piece on #Brexit and #JHA. I have been looking at this for 1,5 years so I hope I did not make too many mistakes (links to piece - cer.eu/publications/a… and opens thread)
At the outset of the #Brexit process, most people assumed that a deal on #police and #judicial co-operation was easier to get than one on #trade. Time has shown this is not the case. Ongoing co-op on #JHA is one of the few items yet to be agreed on #withdrawal deal. Why?
Well, because the #EU and #UK's opening positions in the #negotiation are incompatible: Britain wants a #bespoke agreement with the EU, a la #Schengen, but is not willing to accept #ECJ or #EUCharter. EU wants to replicate existing models. What to do?

Senator Grassley has the entire case laid out in this list of names-- 👇 I've spent the better part of 3 days looking at connections. Was it an anti-Magnitsky Act campaign all along? Framed by Russians with DNC, U.K. & Aussie help? Grassley knows. #ReleaseTheMemo 👌👍🐍
If you take Sen. Grassley's list and began cross referencing with the names in the President's E.O. of 12/21/17, namely, Dan Gertler; Sergey Kusiuk; Goulnora Islamovna Karimova; Slobodon Tesic, and Artem Chayka, the picture begins to emerge. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
I want to do a thread on this, but it would require a hundred or more. It's that complicated. In Senator Grassley's list there is a tale that will shock the world. Someone more skilled than I am is going to sell a gazillion books if this story is ever fully revealed.
