@LeeSmithDC in his new book opts for Theory 2, a fine choice
By grouping together Mifsud and Veselnetskya with Halper and Greenberg, Smith makes a convincing case for entrapment.
Personally, however, I believe the first two were coincidental flukes, although certainly I agree the second two were plants sent in to entrap the campaign.

Smith's greatest achievement in this book is the way he shows how much the media was dancing to the tune of Fusion GPS, and how so much of the Russia story was in place by WELL BEFORE WikiLeaks published. As I stated in top tweet he attributes it to Theory 2, a fine choice.
Smith has this GREAT insight: the CH team thought the PAGE FISA was their ticket because Surely there was Something in there to kill the Trump Campaign. But there wasn't... That's when they were screwed...
That's when they put the car in reverse, fired Steele, leaked to the NYTimes that there wasn't really anything to the Trump Russia thing afterall... They had crossed the Rubicon and forgot their wallet at home.... It's been defensive cleanup since then
Another good insight by @DevinNunes is that he was briefed in November after the election about Russia interference and it was banal, then suddenly the ICA was released in December and it was explosive. Caught in the act.
Smith also offers a novel defense for Flynn cc:@SidneyPowell1
that Flynn did not consider the Obama measures to be "sanctions" in his mind , the only "sanctions" on Russia were the Crimea sanctions which were much stiffer. So when he said no sanctions talk he meant Crimea

🤦 
Nunes was the pioneer of uncovering Russiagate, he is there reason we know everything we do.
But didn't get that George was just repeating rumors, to Erika Thompson, not Downer, on May 6th.
How would his investigation have changed if he'd understood this? Does he get it now?
