“I think people do see that this is a critical time in our history,” said Mary McCord, a former DOJ official who helped oversee the probe into Russian interference now is listed as a top outside counsel for the House in legal fights tied to impeachment. politico.com/news/2019/12/1…
Mary McCord’s senior counsel when she handled Page’s FISA, the Russia interference investigation AND the counterintelligence probe into Trump campaign while at DOJ?

Michael Atkinson, the IC IG:

amgreatness.com/2020/01/09/int…
It’s astonishing that Senate GOP confirmed Atkinson as IC watchdog. I watched his confirmation hearing from January 2018—not one question about his work as McCord’s chief lawyer, his involvement in FISA process or knowledge of Crossfire Hurricane. Total sleepwalkers.
McCord and Atkinson go way back. Worked together for years at US Attorney’s Office in DC. She brought him over to NSD even though he had no background in Intelligence.

So the chances this is an Omidyar-backed project is about 99.9%. These 3 are on the dole of Democracy Fund Voice, Omidyar’s nonprofit:
Finn/McMullin have a few outlets funded by Omidyar. @NiskanenCenter has received about $500,000 since 2017 from Omidyar-backed largess

In August 2016, WashPo FOIAed the outside agency tasked with Afghan War oversight for Flynn interview. The agency refused. It finally turned over the Flynn interview in Dec 2017 but the Post didn’t publish it.

I asked why...
Here’s reply: “The editors wanted to publish all the interviews at the same time in order to provide a comprehensive and detailed assessment of the war in Afghanistan. If SIGAR had acted more quickly, we would have published all of the Afghanistan Papers much earlier.”

BUT...
That’s a little sketchy because something else happened in Dec 2017: Flynn plea agreement with Mueller on one count of making a false statement to FBI. Did Post refuse to publish Flynn’s interview because it would’ve revealed his harsh criticism of the same people targeting him?

“The general described rampant corruption that involved allied coalition and American officials; a narcotics racket that was the worst it has ever been; a rotating U.S. command structure that refused to concede failure.”

I’m digging into WashPo series... amgreatness.com/2020/01/13/une…
on the disastrous Afghan war. The paper obtained hundreds of documents and interviews, that disclose how we’ve been lied to by top officials, including presidents, about the war’s progress.

I reviewed Mike Flynn’s interview first—and now his targeting by Obama makes sense.
In his Nov 2015 interview, Flynn explained how flawed and politicized the intelligence process was under Obama. He confronted an unnamed CIA official—Brennan, presumably, since Flynn was head of DIA at the time—about why certain field Intel wasn’t included in the intel chain...

🚨Senate Intel releases 2nd volume of BIPARTISAN probe of #Russian🇷🇺interference: "The IRA sought to influence the 2016 US presidential election by harming @HillaryClinton’s chances of success and supporting Donald Trump at the direction of the Kremlin."

axios.com/senate-intelli…
@HillaryClinton Senate Intel says IRA's activities were "part of a broader, sophisticated, and ongoing information warfare campaign designed to sow discord in American politics and society," and "IRA activity increased, rather than decreased, after Election Day 2016."🤬
@HillaryClinton As one of its *bipartisan* recommendations, Senate Intel calls on the Trump🇷🇺administration to "publicly reinforce the danger of attempted foreign interference in the 2020 election."

Instead, @realDonaldTrump is publicly calling for #Ukraine and #China to interfere.🤬

News Analysis 🔎 The revelation of the alleged extraction of a #Russian @CIA #Spy has raised a number of questions, including how the #CIA used the information it received—and the quality of that information.

(Thread 👇) By Jeff Carlson @themarketswork theepochtimes.com/russian-spy-re…
Notably, the #Spy appears to have been a key source for allegations of #Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

A closer examination of the spy’s alleged background, however, paints a complicated picture. The spy’s direct supervisor appears to have been mentioned in the…
