"Carter Page provided an April 15, 2013, briefing document authored by Russian trade diplomat, Ksenia Yudaeva, on Russia’s priorities for a summit of the 20 richest countries in the world to be held in St. Petersburg in September 2013." time.com/5132126/carter…
"According to published reports, the FBI obtained a first FISA warrant to eavesdrop on Page’s electronic communications during 2013."
IS THAT WHERE THIS STUPID RUMOR COMES FROM
Link goes to the infamous April 11, 2017, Washington Post article authored by Nakashima, Barrett, and Entous.
But, bad as the Post can be, there's no mention of a 2013 FISA on Carter Page in here...
Anyway, this rumor didn't get very far. Made its way to cable tv and a few people in congress, but that's about it. (Maybe Lisa Page and Andy McCabe killed the rumor?)
James Richard's hedge fund, Firebird Fund L.P., is apparently the second longest-registered hedge fund in the Cayman Islands, only behind III Capital Management ('III" is pronounced "Triple Eye") web.archive.org/web/2015090709…
Getting some chicanerous vibes from this supposed guy, James Richard. Seems like a fake persona.
Only claim to fame is some sporadic late 90's - early 00's articles on energy and oil, and his supposed mega-hedge fund in the Cayman Islands. An internet ghost otherwise, it seems. archive.ph/9Bs1G
"Guerriero still remembers the day McGonigal bought a second phone. The FBI had just ordered its staff to delete WhatsApp from their bureau-issued phones, and McGonigal was panicking. No longer could he send encrypted messages to whomever he was texting with. That was a problem."
"So McGonigal went out and bought a second iPhone to use on the side. He used it almost exclusively for WhatsApp. Guerriero would tease McGonigal about it. 'What are you, a drug dealer now? With a burner phone?' she said. But she never found out who McGonigal was messaging."
"Charlie called Prime Minister Rama in my presence not often, but he often told me that he was a good friend."
"I have never met Mr. Neza, I don't know him. Charlie has mentioned him as a friend and that they traveled together to Albania, Vienna, and Kosovo by car from Albania."
"The day I sent the [2019 email to Sweeney] was the funeral of a close family member and I was drunk and made a mistake I shouldn't have made."
"I don't believe this investigation was prompted by that email. I believe the McGonigal investigation began two years after that."
"Neza and Ducka have powerful connections in high American circles, in the FBI and Israel, which they have used in a corrupt manner to delete the non-grata files. But a reserved source said most of the 'McGonigal' file has not been released, as it would create unrest in Albania."
"The source said that the secret part of the file also talks about the mayor of Tirana [Erion Veliaj], who had contact with Charles McGonigal, and lobbied [8,000,000 euros] to hit his opponent Ylli Ndroqin."
"The head of PD Sali Berisha posted today on Facebook a message that came to him from a citizen, who confesses that Prime Minister Edi Rama has been in a meeting with FBI investigators and senior officials for three days."
"Rama has been asked to confess his connections with McGonigal, Neza, Ducka, Rossini, and Bladel. Meanwhile, Erion Velia has urgently left for New York to ask Alex Soros to help or to save himself because he is mentioned many times in the part of the file that is not published."
"Wray is not a bad guy but I also know from my own experiences that he’s done NOTHING to correct some very serious wrongs. [...] I am referring to individuals within SES that are horrendous, not open investigations into anything USAO and AUSA’s are in possession of." #guerriero
"The FBI called me as a witness for a USAO GJ. Treated me terribly. Even had an ASAC call and yell. They treat bad guys better than me and the kicker is they ruled me out as a witness when they realized I had nothing of value for them. Hate FBI!" #guerriero
"Biden proud of his son Hunter. The guy who got kicked outta the military, took bribes from Russia, got a job he was never qualified for with zero experience, really likes banging underage hookers & brother's widow, getting his side broad knocked up, and loves blow." #guerriero
