Here's an interesting apparent inconsistency between evidence of Julia Gurganus (ODNI NIO, Russia) who was senior author of ICA and Sally Yates on date on which Obama got briefed on ICA.
In Yates' 302 (and other testimony), Yates said that the briefing of Obama and his officials was on January 5, 2017 (the day before Trump's briefing) and one day after McCabe et al intervened to prevent close of Flynn investigation. Image
but in Gurganus' 302 (identification per walkafyre), Gurganus said that Obama was briefed by the four stooges ///oops, sages on Wednesday, January 4, 2017. Seems like the sort of thing that Gurganus would get right. Image
So what gives?

Were there two different meetings? A closed dress rehearsal on Jan 4 and large meeting on Jan 5? Or did one of Gurganus/Yates get date wrong and, if so, which one and why?
date makes a difference in terms of strange shenanigans on Jan 4 re Flynn investigation closing. If the cancellation of Flynn closing occurred after the Jan 4 meeting reported in Gurganus 302, that places decision in very different new light.

THREAD: given current interest in Ukraine, I think readers will be interested in Andrew Weissmann's extremely strong views on Crimea and the extent to which he thought that candidate Trump's phlegmatic and practical perspective constituted a law enforcement issue.
Crimea is mentioned on multiple occasions in Weissmann's book. First, W complained that Trump was "notably unbothered" by Crimea, which Weissmann characterized (IMO falsely) as "invasion and forced annexation" (as opposed to authentic repudiation of Ukraine and separation) Image
3/ Weissmann asserted that Crimean separation from Ukraine was a "threat to our national security interests" and that Ukraine was "standing in defense of Europe and the Baltic". I'll omit obvious editorial comment other than noting that Ukraine's location is well south of Baltic

Ukraine's relationship to Russia has many points of similarity to Canada's relationship to USA. But a picture is worth 1000 words. As a thought experiment, let's re-locate US into Russia and Canada into Ukraine, with French-speaking Quebec, English-speaking Ontario and "Michigan" Image
in our experiment, let's additionally suppose that our re-located USA and Canada were part of the old USSR, which for 30 years was ruled by a dictator from Honduras (re-located to Asian Georgia) and since WW2 by two leaders from our re-located Ontario (Khrushchev, Brezhnev)
then, in 1952, "Canadian" leader of the USSR administratively re-assigned Michigan, which had been part of USA since 1776, into the Canadian Socialist Republic.

unsurprisingly, commentary on Danchenko indictment is very inaccurate. US media is mostly trying to whitewash FBI and intel community by blaming on Danchenko, who is not an innocent. But after January 24, 2017, perpetuation of dossier hoax was due to FBI, not Danchenko deception.
in this thread, I'm going to comment on recent commentary, starting with Eric Wemple archive.md/sjvcJ and Glenn Kessler archive.md/sjvcJ of the WaPo, which announced partial retractions of past reporting.
3/ I'm going to focus on Millian commentary as that is one of two issues in Indictment. "Fact-checker" Kessler began his section on Millian with false claim that Millian was doxed in news reports "because Danchenko suggested [his name] to FBI". This is total BS.

@shipwreckedcrew at his first interview, Danchenko confessed that he had NEVER met Millian. You mis-state this in your interesting article. Image
nor does it appear that FBI was misled by Danchenko's story of an anonymous telecon. It appears that Brian Auten disbelieved true part of Danchenko's confession: that he had never met Millian and had never even had a telephone conversation with someone who identifed as Millian
Auten and FBI appear to have decided that, for some obscure reason, Danchenko was "minimizing" his contact with Millian and accordingly disregarded his confession in favor of the original fabrications of the dossier.

this article perfectly exemplifies how preoccupation with Page FISA by so many Russiagate critics leads to false and distracting narrative. Article presumes that Page FISA was cornerstone of investigation and that DOJ was protecting its "poisoned fruit". Nope,
2/ while the Page FISA was seedy, it was, to mix metaphors, a dry well. It bore no fruit, poisoned or otherwise. Nothing from Page FISA appears in any of the proceedings or in Mueller report. In the end, it was irrelevant to progress main Russiagate hoax.
3/ yet we hear of almost nothing else - FISA, FISA, FISA - in complaints from majority of Russiagate hoax commentators and talking heads, even insiders like Ratcliffe.

I think that we have a clear winner in the identification of the mysterious October 2016 conference at which Danchenko and Dolan were participants. Three-day YPO "Inside the Kremlin" conference. Organizer-1 probably Steven Kupka. Credit to @_mzishi_
_mzishi spotted two important articles in Sputnik on October 5, 2016: sputniknews.com/20161005/russi…
sputniknews.com/20161005/inves…
Kupka worked with Kislyak in Washington (Ambassador-1) on organization. Konstantin Kosachev spoke to conference
Kupka was at Husch Blackwell at time and is now at King & Spaulding. linkedin.com/in/steven-kupk…

Andy Wright, former COS for extremist Dem Brad Sherman endorsed Kupka at LinkedIn.
