Monthly DOS Foia dump from @15poundstogo! 689 documents. Doesn’t look all too exciting but may be worth a skim by those stuck inside during a heatwave. Let’s take a glance. foia.state.gov/Search/Results…
Uh oh looks like all of @igordanch's "sources" have denied, under oath, providing him any information related to the contents of the dossier. Enjoy your perjury charge Iggy 👀 courtlistener.com/docket/6163126…
How did the FBI not know that Danchenko was Steele's PSS until December 2016, if they were asking Vorontsov about him in June 2016.
1/ @emptywheel claims that multiple people told her that these two personas used the same IP address. I'll assess other evidence that TSB and G2 could be linked and and surmise who is in the group besides "Phil".
2/ Marcy's first mistake is in thinking that "Phil" (Michael L. Adams) left the Icelanderia/G2 comment on her site, when in reality Adams refers to that individual as "the mouthpiece". Here we can assume that Adams and "the mouthpiece" could be associates. emptywheel.net/2020/10/26/par…
THREAD: 1/ On Election Day Eve Leopold highlighted 13 pages of an updated Mueller report, then later received 22 more unredacted pages. Undiscussed were two new unredacted sections on pages 45 & 47 regarding @wikileaks communications with @DCleaks_ "through different channels".
2/ Page 46 remained unchanged, but covers DCLeaks's "submission-related" DM exchanges with Wikileaks and @GUCCIFER_2 on Sept. 15, 2016. This is the first known contact between the seemingly schizophrenic "GRU personas", obviously perplexing behavior if they were the same entity.
3/ Page 47 covers "GRU's" Sept. 19 staging of the Podesta emails and more submission-related Wikileaks and DCLeaks comms on the 22nd. Newly unredacted is a section proposing a DMed password and the existence of a "message or file sent through a different communication system". 🤔
THREAD: 1/ The Biden administration didn't go further than SSCI. SSCI "found that Konstantin Kilimnik is a Russian intelligence officer", thus Manafort would've been sharing polling data directly with Russian intelligence. The FBI/Mueller only saw "ties" between Kilimnik and RIS.
2/ SSCI also assessed that Deripaska deputy Viktor Boyarkin was a GRU officer who Kilimnik told Manafort he had been "sending everything to" for Deripaska. Rick Gates thought Kilimnik would share the polling data with Deripaska (via Boyarkin), but SSCI had no evidence of this.
3/ Mueller referred to Boyarkin just as "Deripaska's deputy" and had no insight into what happened with the polling data after it was sent to Kilimnik. Gates explained that Manafort was sharing the polling data with Deripaska to thwart a lawsuit.
