THREAD: "Liz's quote, "the White House is running this."" - @petestrzok 8/5/16
1/ With the release of the 9/7/16 CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell memorandum, I think we can finally determine the significance of this text message and who "Liz" might be. judiciary.senate.gov/press/rep/rele…
2/ If one follows the texts between Strzok and @NatSecLisa from the day before his meeting with Liz, it's clear that Pete is referring to his hesitance of an upcoming Langley meeting with @CIA analysts because "her group [the agency] is apparently too big to fit in a car".
3/ Page even admits in her testimony to @MarkMeadows that this text refers to the White House running "the broader intelligence community's investigation of Russian active measures", i.e. the CH fusion cell, but "definitely not" the FBI Russia collusion investigation. Sure, Lisa.
4/ But who is Liz? Liz is likely the Chief of the Counterintelligence Mission Center, "a veteran female CIA officer" who is "wary about the administration" and authored an internal review of the Khost suicide bombing. The memo infers that she's in Legal... washingtonpost.com/world/national…
5/ In search of CIA attorneys named Liz with Afghanistan ties, I came across Elizabeth Vogt, an attorney involved in the 2005 destruction of interrogation tapes who worked with Bob Eatinger, a Counterterrorism Center lawyer. Durham? npr.org/templates/stor…latimes.com/nation/la-xpm-…
6/ I believe this Elizabeth is the same Counterterrorism Center lawyer who signed off on the 2003 Khaled el-Masri kidnapping that lead to the torture of an innocent man. Yet, she was promoted in the CTC and apparently was then involved in the 2005 scandal. nbcnews.com/id/41484983/ns…
7/ Did Liz Vogt eventually become the CIMC Chief? I'm not sure, but I am sure that the White House was running Liz's portion of @JohnBrennan's fusion cell and potentially Strzok's as well. @DevinNunes has interviewed the Chief, maybe he or @RichardGrenell could weigh in...

THREAD: "Undaunted" Notables 1/ @JohnBrennan's March 2016 trip to Moscow featured him meeting with Bortnikov (FSB), Fradkov (SVR), Ivanov (CoS), and Korobov (GRU).
2/ John claims that after the @wikileaks dump, he arrived in his office on July 25th to review raw intelligence concerning Russian election interference and then schedules a meeting with Obama on July 28th Street he was done reading. No mention of Smolenkov or Ratcliffe material.
3/ Brennan then sets up his "fusion cell" in early August where incidental collection of information on US citizens appears to be a theme with the CIA and NSA passing potential American criminality to the FBI. Were Manafort's communications with Kilimnik incidentally collected?
BREAKING: In late July 2016, U.S. intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence
analysis alleging that @HillaryClinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against @realDonaldTrump by tying him to Putin and the Russians' hacking of the @DNC. 💥
CONTEXT: Steele memo 95 is the first report tying the Trump Campaign to the DNC hack, it was produced on July 28, 2016, and it was sourced to an unidentified individual who Danchenko claims is @SergeiMillian. The call was a fabrication, Clinton sanctioned this Steele office job!
1/ According to @JohnBrennan's May 23, 2017 @HouseIntel testimony, he set up a "fusion cell" of experts from the CIA, NSA, and FBI "to assess Russian attempts to interfere in the U.S. Presidential election".
2/ Brennan's narrative during this hearing is that he was "aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian Officials and US persons involved in the Trump Campaign", leading him to create the fusion cell and Intel sharing with the FBI.
3/ @DevinNunes's 2018 "Report on Russian Active Measures" confirms the existence of the fusion cell, adding that it stood down in mid-November 2016.
THREAD: 1/ Steele's Primary Sub-source's Source 3 is most likely Olga Galkina. She is a Facebook friend of @danchenko_igor, and according to him "one of the key sources for the "Trump Dossier"".
2/ Source 3 is the sub-source that was interviewed in August 2017 by the @FBI, she was responsible for the Michael Cohen in Prague memos, had 702 coverage over her and was a @HillaryClinton supporter. Galkina was living in Limassol, Cyprus in 2016 and working for server💲.com.
