Durham also notes an email exchange re: the Alfa allegations involving former Perkins Coie attorney Marc Elias and three Clinton campaign officials: communications director Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook, and senior foreign policy advisor Jake Sullivan.
That email exchange w/Elias, Sullivan, Palmieri and Mook re: the now-disproven Alfa Bank allegations took place on Sep. 15, 2016, only four days before Sussmann took the Alfa information to the FBI.
When questioned by HPSCI Sullivan implied he had no direct knowledge, stating that Elias would “occasionally give us updates on the opposition research they were conducting.” Sullivan testified that he “didn’t know what the nature of that effort was” or “who was funding it.”
Sullivan also downplayed any specific insights from Elias, telling House investigators that the information provided by Elias “tended to be pieces of information that I’d heard from reporters as well.”
Despite these claims, Sullivan played a material role in disseminating information regarding the Alfa allegations.
A Clinton tweet included a statement from Sullivan claiming “This could be the most direct link yet between Donald Trump and Moscow.”
Horowitz informed Durham that in March 2017 Sussmann told an OIG SAG that one of his clients had observed that a specific OIG employee’s computer was “seen publicly” in “Internet traffic” and was connecting to a Virtual Private Network in a foreign country.
3) At the time Horowitz provided this report to Durham on December 17, 2021, Horowitz represented to Durham & team that it had “no other file[s] or other documentation” relating to this cyber matter.
We already knew that Daszak continued his work under his NIH grant until April 2020. May even have gone beyond. This was revealed in Daszak's response letter to NIH. See below.
The 2018 proposal, provided by DRASTIC, is separate (technically) from Daszak's NIH-funded work.
2018 proposal (funding denied) contained remarkable similarities to Covid pandemic but the Murphy report needs more vetting from what I've seen. theepochtimes.com/research-propo…
As noted last night, it's entirely possible there's conflation between Dasak's NIH-funded work & his 2018 proposal.
It's also possible that Veritas report is correct but we need more.
Seems almost too neat, too perfect. Raises questions.
This details how Fauci & other scientists tried to shape the narrative of a NASEM response to the White House in Feb 2020.
2 days after Fauci was told it was a lab leak, his group pushed Natural Origin narrative that was written SAME day as Fauci call. theepochtimes.com/behind-the-sce…
There was a very direct and orchestrated cover-up.
1) Feb 1, 2020 - Fauci told lab leak was 70-80% likely
2) 1st draft of Proximal Origin completed same day
3) Feb 3, 2020 - Fauci presents to NASEM. Daszak & Andersen there
3) The Steele dossier laid groundwork for claims of Russia-Collusion.
And the Intelligence Community Assessment was an attempt by Brennan, Clapper & Comey to fortify those claims - w/ridiculous reports of "Facebook something"
