The FBI lawyer who gave authorized disclosures to the media on behalf of Andy McCabe is now upset with Rod Rosenstein for approving disclosures to the media.
Rosenstein approved the release of text messages sent on FBI phones. The messages were related to their FBI work, and not their personal lives i.e. their affair.
Differences between McCabe and Rosenstein's disclosures: McCabe lied to FBI and DOJ about authorizing it, and didn't get approval from DOJ lawyers. Rosenstein seemingly didn't lie about approving, and did consult DOJ lawyers.

Quite a footnote from SDNY in Lev Parnas case blasting his lawyer, Joseph Bondy. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6667…
Bondy demanded to know in a subsequent filing when SDNY cracked Parnas's iPhone. He claims prosecutors delayed cracking the phone in order to thwart cooperation with HPSCI. (except gov't says that Parnas refused to give investigators his password, and so FBI had to crack it)
SDNY reaffirmed that phone was cracked on Dec. 3.

NEW: Lev Parnas's comments to NYT last night seem to conflict with CNN's report in November that Trump put Parnas on a "secret mission" to dig up dirt on the Bidens. dailycaller.com/2020/01/16/lev…
Parnas told NYT yesterday that he did not talk directly to Trump about the Ukraine efforts, but that Giuliani said Trump was in the loop.

CNN reported on Nov. 16 that Parnas told associates he spoke w/ Trump at Hanukkah party in 2018, and was tasked with a "James Bond mission."
Notably, the CNN reporter on that story also did the story on Parnas's lawyer saying that Devin Nunes met with Viktor Shokin in Vienna. Nunes has sued CNN and says he never went to Vienna and never met Shokin.

Now we know Rod Rosenstein was a weasel all along, who was sabotaging Mueller from the start. Rosenstein better be enjoying his pension, because he sure as hell won’t be enjoying his legacy.

#AttorneyGeneral Barr is working to review the techniques used to investigate Trump’s 2016 campaign.

Here are 10 key questions that remain to be answered in the scandal that has become known as #Spygate (Thread 👇):

Commentary by @JasperFakkert theepochtimes.com/spygate-origin…
1. What was the role that @CIA and John Brennan’s ‘Interagency Task Force’ played?

Former CIA Director Brennan admitted that he passed intelligence received from the #UK on the Trump campaign to the @FBI with the intention of having them investigate it:
“It served as the basis…
… for the FBI investigation to determine whether such collusion [or] cooperation occurred.”

Notably, Brennan met with then-head of the #UK #Spy agency @GCHQ, Robert Hannigan, in #Washington in 2016. The meeting was unusual, since Hannigan’s US equivalent…

Remember the Feb 28 “unity” dinner between AG Jeff Sessions, Deputy AG Director Rod Rosenstein, and Inspector General, Noel Francisco? In light of #McCabe’s firing - this gets a second look.

1/
axios.com/scoop-jeff-ses…
The dinner made headlines for 2 reasons: for appearing to show the top 3 DOJ official in an open display of unity against Trump and because it occurred on the same day as Trump tweeted an “attack” against Jeff Sessions

2/
This followed a previous Trump tweet in another “attack” on Sessions a few days earlier - appearing to blame Sessions for the ongoing investigations into the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 election.
