Who is Robby Mook and what was his role in Russiagate?

Mook was Hillary’s campaign manager for her 2016 presidential bid

John Podesta, campaign chairman, had authorized Mook to handle budget matters. Mook had approved Perkins Coie’s budget request for “opposition research” /1
Fusion GPS—opposition research firm that hired Steele and coordinated with Sussmann and the media —briefed Hillary’s lawyer Marc Elias.
Elias “summarized some of the information to top campaign officials, including Robby Mook.” /2
On July 24, 2016 Robby Mook alleged on Jake Tapper that Russia is assisting Trump.
This could be the launch of the plan that was approved by Hillary on July 26, according to the CIA, to smear Trump with false Russia collusion allegations. /3
In his report dated July 28, Steele “corroborates” Mook’s accusations against Trump made 4 days previously, citing Russian sources—who we now know is a Brookings operative Igor Danchenko,.Danchenko is soon to go on trial. /4
By asserting legal privilege over the campaign communications, Mook is seeking to protect Hillary from the growing scandal.

The communications could cover activities such as placing fake Trump-Russia media stories, the Steele “dossier” and reports to the FBI.

History repeating?

May 2018: "Far from the top-secret, covert intelligence asset the FBI has depicted him as, Stefan Halper is a longtime, well-known CIA operative, with ties to the Bush family and a shady past."

theintercept.com/2018/05/19/the…
"Despite what Halper actually is, the FBI and its dutiful mouthpieces have spent weeks using the most desperate language to try to hide Halper’s identity and the work he performed as part of the 2016 election. "
theintercept.com/2018/05/19/the…
"[Comey's friend, Brookings’ Benjamin] Wittes’ claim that all of this resulted in the “outing” of some sort of sensitive “intelligence source” is preposterous given how publicly known Halper’s role as a CIA operative has been for decades."

History of the 4th (final) FISA on team Trump that might be relevant to the current news.
The warrant application was made in June 2017, six months into Trump presidency, and lasted until Sept'17.
It was signed by Rosenstein/McCabe and approved by judge.
It lacked probable cause
2/ When the fourth FISA (that was found to lack probable cause) was released in 2018 it looked like this:
3/ Judicial Watch believe that then-president Trump declassified the final (illegal) FISA and are now suing for it.

This paid-for, lying fraud thinks everything is forgotten. It is not.
--On October 11, 2016, Steele met with the State Department and stated that his client, the DNC "is keen" to see the Russia/Trump info (lies) he put together to "come to light" prior to the election. /1
At the same meeting with the State Dept one month before the presidential election, Steele stated that his priority is "Managing: -client (DNC) needs, -FBI, -Washington Post/New York Times." /2
Steele met with DNC & Clinton Campaign lawyers, Marc Elias and Michael Sussmann, on July 29, 2016, days after Hillary approved the plan to tie Trump to Russia. During the meeting, Sussmann told him about the (bogus) Trump-Russia secret comms channel story. Following the meeting/3

BBC: On 15 October [2016], the US secret intelligence court issued a warrant to investigate two Russian banks. This news was given to me by several sources and corroborated by someone I will identify only as a senior member of the US intelligence community

BBC: "This news was given to me by several sources and corroborated by a senior member of the US intelligence community. He would never volunteer anything - giving up classified information would be illegal - but he would confirm or deny what I had heard from other sources."
