IG report says Crossfire Hurricane team denied receiving info from John Brennan that predicated Trump-Russia probe. (McCabe's formulation is that he "did not recall" Brennan doing so). This conflicts w/ Brennan's own testimony. Brennan should be called to explain the discrepancy.
Note that Comey recounted that "Brennan shared intelligence on the overarching efforts by the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 U.S. elections." Would be important to find out more about that intelligence.
IG report does not answer the most important question: was Joseph Mifsud -- who FBI says sparked the entire Russia probe -- actually acting on behalf of Russia? Unless he was, or unless FBI had legit grounds to *believe* he was, then the entire Trump-Russia probe is baseless.
All we learn from IG report is that Mifsud is not an FBI asset. But that's not the issue. Was he a Russian asset? If he's not, then those who launched the Trump-Russia probe have to explain why they launched it based on the suspicion that he was.
If Mifsud actually was a Russian asset, I have a hard time believing that it wouldn't have been formally alleged by now -- rather than just disingenuously suggested by Mueller. And BTW, IG report does not rule out that he was an asset for another Western intel service (or CIA).
