NYT confirmed that "Case Agent 1" from the FISA report is Stephen Somma, a counterintel investigator out of the NY field office.

Somma was involved in several key aspects of Crossfire Hurricane, and was faulted for omitting crucial info in 6 key areas. dailycaller.com/2020/02/24/cas…
Somma's name has been out there for a while. @MZHemingway found that he was one of 3 possibilities for the FBI handler of Stefan Halper. thefederalist.com/2019/05/02/new…
The IG report tied together that Halper's handler was also involved in several aspects of Crossfire Hurricane and the Carter Page FISA process.

A recap of what happened in 2018 regarding Roger Stone and Randy Credico.

Stone sent Credico the "prepare to die, cocksucker" text message. Credico immediately went to media w/ it and went on TV and hyped up this idea that it was witness intimidation. Media also hyped it.
And voila, the special counsel adds witness tampering to its list of charges against Stone. It is that text which will get Stone the bulk of his jail time, even though Credico testified at trial that he wasn't actually concerned that Stone would harm him.
So we have a bunch of media nerds and a bunch of legal nerds clutching pearls over a text exchange between two guys who talk a lot of trash to each other. And that's going to translate into additional prison time for Stone.

NEW: A BURISMA consultant who was on the board of the @TrumanProject with HUNTER BIDEN discussed Ukraine issues w/ State Dept official Tony Blinken at a Truman event in 2016.
dailycaller.com/2020/02/18/bur…
State Department emails show that Sally Painter spoke w/ State Dept #2 Tony Blinken about Ukraine in June 2016. Blinken was at an event for Truman Project, a liberal nat security think tank.

Painter and HUNTER BIDEN were board members.

Biden introduced Burisma to Painter.
So, Sally Painter was using a think tank event to pitch a State Department official on a meeting to potentially discuss Burisma.

NEW: Read what lead Roger Stone juror said during jury selection.

It doesn't entirely square with her social media posts. dailycaller.com/2020/02/13/rog…
Tomeka Hart said that Stone's affiliation with Trump would "absolutely not" affect how she weighed evidence.

She tweeted just months before the trial that all of Trump's supporters are racist. Stone is of course a longtime Trump supporter who coaxed him into running for office.
Hart also downplayed how much attention she paid to Trump-related investigations, saying "I don't pay that close attention" to developments. Her Twitter feed suggests otherwise.

2 top @FBI officials in spring 2016 informed AG #LorettaLynch of intelligence they received linking the #Russian gov to @CarterWPage months before an investigation into the Trump campaign was formally launched, according to the #IGReport.

(Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/comey-and-mcca…
Lynch told DOJ #IGHorowitz that in the spring of 2016, @FBI Director @Comey and Deputy Director #AndrewMcCabe pulled her aside and shared info about Page that Lynch believed they learned from a member of the intelligence community.
@FBI @Comey The timing of the encounter between #Lynch, @Comey, and #McCabe raises questions about what actions the agencies took in connection to the Trump campaign before formally opening a counterintelligence investigation—codenamed #CrossfireHurricane—on July 31, 2016.

Flashback Friday: @AndrewCMcCarthy was on point in May 2019.

The US Embassy in London, FBI & Mueller concocted a "Muh Russian collusion" fairy tale using Downer-Papadopoulos conversation.

I wonder who the London based FBI Assistant Legal Attache was?
nationalreview.com/2019/05/fbi-tr…
Alan Kohler was in this position begining in 2012 and apparently returned to CONUS some time in 2016.

Could he have been involved in the State Dept reporting of Papa's "dirt" comment to FBI HQ?
Knowing how the FBI botched so many steps during crossfire hurricane it's not a stretch to speculate that a senior FBI agent may have also altered the wording to make it seem as if Papa was alluding to the DNC hack instead of the more obvious HRC private server emails.

Horowitz Had It All In 2018 & Didn't Leak It
@drawandstrike
All right, quick rant.

We just had over a month of Democrat impeachment theater, with the last 2 weeks being nationally televised public hearings.

Trump's poll #'s went UP in all those polls out there. Even the fake ones. Which is most of them.
Two of the more HONEST polls found Trump's support among BLACK REGISTERED VOTERS is now at 34%.

The DNC & RNC just released fundraising #'s for the last quarter. Dems are broke & 7 million in debt. Repub's with Trump leading the charge had a HISTORIC FUNDRAISING QUARTER.
Republicans in Congress are going ahead and starting up investigations into the Bidens & other top politicians and their dealings in Ukraine.

Trump, Lindsey Graham, John Solomon & Matthew Whitaker have all gone PUBLICLY ON THE RECORD to say this FISA report is 'historic'.

April (2016) the CIA director was shown intelligence that worried him. It was - allegedly - a tape recording of a conversation about money from the Kremlin going into the US presidential campaign.

🔑The taskforce included six agencies or departments of government. Dealing with the domestic, US, side of the inquiry, were the FBI, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Justice.

My goodness:
"In fact, the FBI already had an open counterintelligence case on Page when he became a volunteer on Trump’s foreign policy team in January 2016, according to sources familiar with the matter."
"Near the end of July 2016, Steele sent the FBI agent in Rome (Gaeta) the opposition research on Trump he generated working for Fusion GPS."

This is different than previous testimony. It was thought this happened around July 5...
"The Rome-based agent (Gaeta) then forwarded the reports to an agent he worked with in the FBI’s New York field office (unknown name) – an agent with expertise in criminal organizations and organized crime, not counterintelligence, sources told ABC News."
