A damning statement attributed to Peter Strzok, who opened Crossfire Hurricane in July 2016 based on the Papadopulos tip. Strzok told an assistant FBI legal attache in London in Aug. 2016 that "there's nothing to this."

Reid Hoffman, a Dem donor with ties to Jeffrey Epstein who's funded various Dem disinfo operations, is funding E. Jean Carroll's rape defamation lawsuit against Trump.
Integrity First for America is a big one. Hoffman funded the group, which was founded by Jean Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, to "step up the legal pressure on President Donald Trump's business empire."
Integrity First for America contributed $620,000 to Fusion GPS's legal defense fund in 2018.

Top Dem operatives have a little-known side gig at a consulting firm representing some controversial clients: an ag company under fire from civil rights groups for a facility it wants to build on historical slave sites, & a natural gas trade group.

ABI, which offers to "reduce negative press for its clients," just signed up to lobby for Greenfield Louisiana LLC.
Greenfield is under fire from groups like the National Urban League and Descendants Project for seeking to build a shipping terminal at a majority black township in Louisiana near historical slave sites. Allegations of "environmental racism" have been thrown around.
There will certainly be skepticism of what Luft is saying about Biden and about his FBI meetings. But a couple of things show he was in a position to have insight into CEFC China:
