NEW: Chinese telecom executive for a company that appears to be Zoom spied on video conference users at the direction of Chinese intelligence.

He fabricated evidence in order to shut down events commemorating the Tiananmen Square massacre. dailycaller.com/2020/12/18/chi…
Clues in the complaint point to Zoom as the company. It says that the executive, Julien Jin, had contact with the company's chief operating officer.

CCP required Zoom to make Jin its liaison as part of a "rectification" plan in order to allow Zoom to operate in China.
Zoom says it is reviewing the complaint and will issue statement later.

The complaint has numerous clues that Zoom is the company. It is based in San Jose, and a screen shot in the complaint shows Zoom's interface
The complaint shows Jin corresponding directly with Zoom's US employees about monitoring video calls and shutting some of them down.

NEW: Two Biden Cabinet Picks Were Reprimanded For Roles In Clinton-Era 'Pardongate' Scandal

Xavier Becerra and Alejandro Mayorkas intervened to help get commutation for Carlos Vignali, a convicted cocaine trafficker.
dailycaller.com/2020/12/07/joe…
A House report from 2002 said Vignali's father donated to Becerra's political campaigns.

The report said Mayorkas' involvement was "totally inappropriate" given that he was a U.S. attorney at the time. He contacted the White House on behalf of Vignali.
Todd Jones, the U.S. attorney who prosecuted Vignali in 2004, said that Mayorkas should have "stay[ed] the hell away from it" since he wasn't involved in the initial case.

A few things that caught my eye from the Senate document dump yesterday. From the DOJ portion:

In Sept. 2017 interview w/ FBI, Steele leaves out that he was meeting w/ reporters well before Comey's letter reopening the email probe.

hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
FBI personnel who interviewed Steele assured him that details of the interview were going "straight to Mueller." This undercuts the claim by some who say that the dossier played no role in Mueller probe (it didn't, only b/c it was garbage).
Nellie Ohr gave FBI a thumb drive of her research on Manafort.

NEW: General Services Administration proactively offered to give the FBI and Mueller team records from the Trump transition team, Senate report says.

GSA had an agreement w/ Trump campaign/transition to destroy those records. dailycaller.com/2020/10/23/gen…
Kevin Clinesmith, who has pleaded guilty in the Durham probe, submitted the request on behalf of the FBI/Mueller team in August 2017 for transition records for Flynn and 12 other transition officials, including Pompeo and Kushner.
A GSA official got the ball rolling on Feb. 15, 2017, after a news report about Flynn resigning.

There was no official confirmation that the FBI was investigating Trump campaign or Flynn at the time, but a GSA lawyer inquired about whether to preserve transition records

I'm a few minutes behind on the Comey hearing -- first note -- Graham says "Igor" was the Steele source. He's naming Igor Danchenko
Graham reads into the record a letter from the DOJ Office of Intelligence attorney who put together the Carter Page FISA saying that he/she would not sign it today knowing then what they know now.
Comey says he doesn't know how much time FBI spent trying to validate the dossier.

Strzok-Page texts released in the Flynn case last week have a new clue. "Typhoon" is unredacted in this new batch. That's FBI's code for @GeorgePapa19.

Page tells Strzok on May 10, 2017, they need to "lock in" the case in a "formal chargeable way."

Timeline is interesting... Image
Because Papadopoulos was later charged for an interview he gave FBI several months earlier. So what was their plan to lock him in in a "chargeable way" after that text, and why would they need to?
Page was asked about the text in her House testimony. She said she couldn't remember who they were talking about (I'd always assumed it was Manafort).

She said she thought she might have been saying they needed to admonish the target with a 1001 warning against lying. Image

Watching Ben Wittes' Zoom conference with Peter Strzok, will put observations here:
The question I've submitted -- doubt it will get asked -- is whether Strzok/FBI considered simply asking Papadopoulos early on about what he allegedly told Downer. If he shared that with an Australian diplomat, perhaps he'd have shared it with FBI, too.
Wittes asks @JerryDunleavy's question about Strzok's inconsistency about what prompted Downer to contact the U.S. government regarding Papadopoulos....
