Interesting note in the Flynn interview notes by FBI SSA Joseph Pientka.
It appears that Flynn discussed who was invwolved in trying to schedule a phone call between Trump & Putin.
2 interesting names pop up. John McEntree & Ezra Cohen Watkins. sidneypowell.com/wp-content/upl…
Theories on Ezra Cohen Watkins, supposedly a Flynn guy who his successors kicked out of the NSC, vary from him being the person running the countercoup to him being a spy against Trump. Time will tell. But it appears someone 'known' approached Hope Hicks maybe to gather info?
But Hope is one of 3 people working for DJT trying to coordinate scheduling of the call.
The name that sticks out is John McEntree, who was the President's 'body man' until he was fired from the White House as a security risk. He was hired by the Trump Campaign hours later though
I have theorized the McEntree was the spy planted in the Trump Team early on in the campaign. But does that mean he was a double agent, or hired to keep his mouth shut, or as bait to keep him under surveillance?
Time will tell...
Curiously the notes end on the same issue. Ezra reported a known person approaching Hope Hicks. Someone Flynn had introduced.
Looks like they warned Hicks, McEntee, & Scavino about something. Having to do with leaks of classified information & issues with electronic devices.

Breaking!
Neustar's access to government networks was worse than we thought!
And I thought they had everything!
It appears Neustar was subcontracted for EOP by Verisign, Inc. who had the federal contract to provide DNS services for ALL .gov websites! #ButNothingsHappening
Verisign Inc. was providing DNS services for the entire .gov system under a contract with GSA.
The earliest contract that makes clear that they are managing the .gov domain for the federal government is in 2010 or 2011, but there are contracts earlier. usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD…
Here is the contract from 2016 that was recently extended until June of 2022.
In 2014 when Neustar got access to do DNS services at the Executive Office of the President, Verisign was the contractor for all .gov domains. If Neustar was a subcontractor, it was for Verisign.
Durham then takes a shot at the fake news people on both the left & the right who have "overstated, understated, or misinterpreted facts" from his motion!
The worlds Swampiest commodities firm Glencore warns investors it is setting aside $1.5 Billion to pay fines in the US, UK & Brazil over corruption!
Glencore was run for 40+ years by Marc Rich of Clinton Pardon infamy.
They're connected to Russiagate too #ButNothingsHappening
Glencore connects to almost every Swamp on the planet, which is why Clinton had to pardon Marc Rich to sabotage decades of cases prior to 2001.
But they kept doing the same deals, including involvement in Chad.
As expected, Sussmann's attorney's filed their motion for dismissal today.
Focusing on the materiality of his lies to the FBI, it's not going to work but this is meant for public consumption not the judge.
Let's see if he forces Durham to reveal more! courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
But Sussmann did provide a false tip, the Alfa Bank information was false. At a minimum Sussmann knew the results were misleading & he was attempting to get the FBI to investigate Trump so he could leak that to the media & influence the 2016 election.
Judges almost always leave these decision to the trial & don't dismiss cases before the evidence is presented.
Another example of the #CollegeAdmission scandal revealing parents that may be linked to other crime.
Gamal Abdelaziz was convicted of bribery for admissions.
But he's a Wynn Casino exec who used to run their Macau casino. Macau is a Chinese money laundering hub.
Wow, Charlie Savage saying @nytimes readers aren't smart enough to understand the issues so they aren't covering it up. They just aren't covering it because their readers can't handle the truth because it is too complex.
So just tell them a fairy tale that it is misinformation.
@nytimes Where it gets interesting is that it is NYT's who started the story that Sussmann gave the CIA information from spying upon the White House.
Were they throwing Sussmann under the bus to distract from a bigger story?
This could all be false information trying to spin the NYTimes. But the researchers are claiming they were spying on the Obama White House, not the Trump White House, so why take that to CIA in Feb. 2017?
