When you can't report on the real details of the case, I guess you're left to report on the specifics of a minor technicality.

Hi Evan,
Any thoughts on missing 302?
The original closing of the FBI investigation, suddenly pushed forward by Strzok - based on a call the FBI already had transcript of?
How about fact that the interviewing agents didn't think Flynn lied?
Yate's response to Comey?
Or nah?

Worth reminding. Perez was one of the authors for the January 10, 2017 CNN article (later updated to a Jan 12 date), "Intel Chiefs Presented Trump With Claims of Russian Efforts to Compromise Him"

Clapper likely leaked Comey’s meeting w/President Trump to CNN in Jan 17:
Finding #44: Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, now a CNN national security analyst, provided inconsistent testimony to the Committee about his contacts with the media, including CNN.

"Clapper's discussion with Tapper took place in early January 2017, around the time IC leaders briefed President Obama and President-elect Trump, on "the Christopher Steele information,'' a two-page summary of which was "enclosed in" the highly-classified version of the ICA"
"On January 10, 2017, CNN published an article by Tapper and others, which claimed that "classified documents presented last week to President Obama and President-elect Trump included allegations ... about Mr. Trump'' that were presented in a two-page synopsis"
"The next day, Clapper issued a statement describing a call with President-elect Trump in which Clapper "expressed my profound dismay at the leaks that have been appearing the in press" and "emphasized . . . that I do not believe the leaks came from within the lC."
In fairness to Tapper, he responded to us in regards to his communication w/Clapper as follows:
But, as @JohnWHuber noted, this seems to be at odds w/Clapper's statements - and the House Report on the Russia Investigation:
We then issued a formal response to Tapper:
To which Tapper responded, using WAPO "fact-checker" Glenn Kessler:
And our response to that matter:
"the May 3, 2018, article you cite states "we urge the House Intelligence Committee to update and correct its report."
"Until the Committee decides to update their report, we will continue to use the official reports."
