NEW: An FBI official is under criminal investigation after allegedly altering a document related to 2016 surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page.

Color me skeptical.
by @kpolantz @evanperez cnn.com/2019/11/21/pol…
@kpolantz @evanperez "Horowitz turned over the allegedly altered document to Durham...[it's] at least one focus of Durham's criminal probe."

Given that this is part of the GOP-touted IG Report and Barr's Trump-ordered criminal inquiry of the Russia probe origins, I'm dubious.
@kpolantz @evanperez “He had to announce the investigations — he didn’t have to actually *do* them.” -Sondland

Trump’s core political goal: Pushing for the *PR and perception* of a criminal probe, whether it's true, or the investigation is even being done, is immaterial.
@kpolantz @evanperez Above quote is via @AriMelber.
@kpolantz @evanperez @AriMelber
@kpolantz @evanperez @AriMelber The FBI employee who "may have" altered a document in Russia probe is relatively low level. It's unclear which document was allegedly altered, the significance of the change and what impact, if any, it may have had on the overall probe.

I remain skeptical.
@kpolantz @evanperez @AriMelber THIS Exactly.
@kpolantz @evanperez @AriMelber UPDATE: DOJ IG Horowitz found that a [now fired] low-level FBI lawyer may have altered an email pertaining to the FISA application on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Horowitz concluded that the alteration did not impact the validity of the application.washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

US Intelligence: “Russian intelligence deployed a network of agents to blame Ukraine for its own 2016 interference, conveying [propaganda] to prominent Ukrainians [Shokin] who then used...businessmen [Giuliani] to pass the material to US political figures [Nunes, Pompeo, Trump].”
"Russian intelligence aimed their operation at prompting Ukrainian authorities to investigate allegations that people in Ukraine tried to tamper with the 2016 US election and to shut down inquiries into corruption by pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine."
The counterintelligence probe into Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has been ongoing since at least Feb 2019 and indicates that FBI and SDNY criminal prosecutors are looking at broader issues related to Giuliani than previously reported.

NEW: Court ordered documents just released from State uncover “a clear paper trail from Giuliani to the Oval Office to Pompeo to facilitate Giuliani’s smear campaign against a US ambassador,” further implicating Pompeo in the Ukraine affair.
by @mawilner bit.ly/2riclXO
@mawilner Emails show that the White House helped arranged a call between Giuliani and Pompeo in March, the day after Giuliani gave the White House a packet of propaganda on the Bidens and Yovanovitch, and two days later, Pompeo then spoke to Nunes.
#Maddow #AMJoy
@mawilner “Regular channels” weren’t working so Trump’s then-Oval Office personal assistant connected Giuliani with Pompeo, who then called Nunes.

A Mar 28, 2019, email lists Pompeo's scheduled calls, including a Mar 29 call to Giuliani and an Apr 1 call to Nunes.

US intelligence officials informed senators in recent weeks that Russia has run a yearslong campaign to frame Ukraine for its own hacking of the 2016 election. The briefing came as Republicans ramped up their defense of Trump in the Ukraine affair.
#Maddow nyti.ms/2QIG1Yx
Russian intelligence operatives conveyed "Ukraine election interference" propaganda to prominent Russians and Ukrainians who then used intermediaries, like oligarchs and businessmen, to pass the material to US political figures and journalists.

"Russian intelligence aimed part of their operation at prompting Ukrainian authorities to investigate allegations that people in Ukraine tried to tamper with the 2016 US election and to shut down inquiries into corruption by pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine."

Sound familiar?

"An FBI official is under criminal investigation after allegedly altering a document related to 2016 surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser."
cnn.com/2019/11/21/pol…
This CNN article, while heavily biased, should be seen for what it is.

A semi-panicked and failed attempt to shape a narrative in front of the pending IG Report.

Note the authors are Katelyn Polantz and (of course) Evan Perez.
All you need is the opening sentence:

"An FBI official is under criminal investigation after allegedly altering a document related to 2016 surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser."

The MSM will never be the same after this - and they know it.

They chose their hill. Poorly so.

FBI's Steele story falls apart: False intel and media contacts were flagged before FISA thehill.com/opinion/white-…
The FBI’s sworn story to a federal court about its asset, Christopher Steele, is fraying faster than a $5 souvenir t-shirt bought at a tourist trap.
Newly unearthed memos show a high-ranking government official who met with Steele in October 2016 determined some of the Donald Trump dirt that Steele was simultaneously digging up for the FBI and for Hillary Clinton’s campaign was inaccurate, and likely leaked to the media.
