1/ So it appears that #PatrickByrne could be the extremely sensitive source that Strzok and Page were debating putting at risk after the commencement of Crossfire Hurricane and this is in reference to the infamous "insurance policy" text. #Spygate washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…

2/ Byrne tells @marthamaccallum that FBI agents approached him in July after @realDonaldTrump secured the nomination begging him to rekindle his relationship with Maria Butina to spy on her for 7 months because it "was such a national security emergency".

3/ So basically Strzok re-engaged @OverstockCEO (and potentially other sources) as an "insurance policy" of sorts to spy on Russians that could be trying to infiltrate the Trump Campaign in order to gather as much information as possible in case he were elected.

4/ Byrne said he finally put this together in 2018 from Congressional testimony of these characters, so the "insurance policy" may finally becoming more clear and his name is Byrne, Patrick Byrne.

P.S. The FBI tried to flip Oleg Deripaska in a similar manner in September 2016. nytimes.com/2018/09/01/us/…

P.P.S. @dbongino covers this today, but his belief about Byrne's statement on Hillary and blackmail mirrors mine. One #Spygate purpose was to find out if the Russians would release Hillary's emails and Byrne was used to see if Butina had knowledge of this.
