Anyone who questioned me spending months revealing the individuals in and outside the FBI involved in trying to *blackmail Comey into reopening the Clinton email probe in October 2016* can now see that the first lawyer and litigant in a case relevant to that issue have raised it.

1/ We have a DOJ Inspector General report that *repeatedly* references the actions of pro-Trump agents in the NYC field office of the FBI who illegally leaked to media pre-election, actions we know occurred with the aid of Trump advisers, yet nothing has *ever* been done about it
2/ Unlike in the case of Russian election interference, with the FBI leaks to the Trump campaign in October 2016 and the blackmailing of Comey we have *ample* polling telling us the effect on the election of Trump lawyer Joe DiGenova aiding Hatch Act violations to help Trump win
3/ Moreover, the "Trumplandia" plot *does* intersect with the Russia probe, as the involvement of Flynn, Don Jr., Prince and Giuliani focused on using Russian disinformation to dovetail with the threats against the FBI being made by DiGenova and a group of pro-Trump agents in NYC
4/ Whereas Trump used low-info voters to pressure media to cover the nonexistent scandal of Strzok/Page sending stupid private texts and then getting immediately fired/reassigned, the *amply* sourced Trumplandia plot got no coverage from media because it wanted to seem evenhanded
5/ There is a stunning story to be told, and a Pulitzer to be won, by any reporter who covers the Trump campaign colluding with FBI agents to swing the 2016 general election by blackmailing James Comey (with the aid of Russian disinformation!) into reopening a closed federal case
6/ The actions of DiGenova, Giuliani, Prince, Trump Jr., Flynn and other Trump aides provably changed the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, and provably did so through (variously) illegal conduct and the exploitation of what was by then known to be Russian disinformation
7/ Had there ever been any pressure on the FBI or Inspector General Horowitz to release more info on this scandal, it would've happened, but Democrats (and people who simply believe in the rule of law) never got their act together the way the Trump crazies did on Strzok and Page
