1/ THREAD: some context on Strzok meetings in London on Aug 2, 2016.
on July 29, Strzok asked Lisa if she had discussed "new case" with McCabe.

2/ on Sat Jul 30, ignorant Lisa Page summarizes Russian literature, music and art (Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Tschaikovsky, Shostakovich,,,,) as "couple of good writers and artists". Strzok wonders if his mistress can arrange to go to London with him.

3/ on Sun July 31, Strzok sent notorious email that "damn, this feels momentous. Because this matters". He's then headed towards London meetings, almost certainly about supposed Trump collusion.

4/ on Mon Aug 1, Lisa informed Strzok that McCabe had arranged POC [point of contact with US government] in London when he needed it.

5/ on Tue, Aug 2, Lisa inquired at 12:04 UTC about Strzok's morning meeting. Details redacted. Lisa was impressed though: "Whoa." She reminded Strzok to make sure he can "lawfully" conceal ("protect") information from congress, FOIA. Strzok wasn't worried.

6/ Aug 2 afternoon: Strzok is about to interview someone interesting - name redacted.

7/ Aug 2 evening: Strzok sends Lisa a "lot to read". Recalls some details from interview that he hadn't remembered. Ponders that he needed to jot them down. Another redacted comment.

8/ Aug 3 wee hours UTC. UK has asked that they not "disclose identities" outside the FBI, raising questions about DOJ disclosure. Lengthy redaction.

9/ Strzok is back in Washington by evening Aug 3. Lisa tells Strzok to call "George" [Toscas of DOJ] before he comes in to FBI.

10/ more details over next few days. Skip to Aug 11. Strzok being pestered by reporter who's been tipped off [by Steele and Fusion] on inquiry. Strzok dumbfounded at what they are "SERIOUSLY LOOKING AT". Points decisively (IMO) to Steele memos, not innocuous Papadop story.

11/ details leaked by Harry Reid from Brennan briefing (fabricated story of Carter Page meeting with Sechin identifiable in details) also points to Steele dossier

12/ some online speculation that "George" in these Strzok texts points to Papadopolous. This has grabbed wrong end of stick. George met with Lisa in Washington and, from other information, is George Toscas of DOJ, who is mentioned frequently as coordinating with FBI.

13/ George Toscas had important cameo in election. He caught McCabe trying to slow-walk Weiner emails until after election (without even telling Comey). He made McCabe tell Comey, who got rattled by subterfuge and made famous announcement.

14/ returning to narrative on August 3. Strzok had 4:00 pm meeting which was "Not Helpful". Text times appear to be UTM (-4) i.e. text is at 5:38 pm EDT.

15/ Thu Aug 4 - texts anomalously silent (only 2). What's missing? Strzok reported in early AM that briefing of Bill [Priestap] went well.

16/ on Thu evening (remember UTM times), Strzok and Lisa discuss whether Strzok should go to Friday meeting. Lisa discourages him on grounds that meeting is not important.

17/ Thu evening Aug 5: Strzok and Lisa discuss classic bureaucratic turf war - which agency gets to bring more people to meeting and who goes to who. Meeting is prob DOJ. Strzok worries that they will have more people, who will sit and take notes. Thinks about rescheduling.

18/ Fri Aug 5 morning (UTM-4 hrs): Strzok's meeting, presumably reporting on London, now has over 10 people, incl FBI General Counsel James Baker and 4 OGC [Office of General Counsel] attorneys

19/ Fri Aug 5 2:30 pm: Strzok reports that meeting with lawyers went "well, best we could have expected". REDACTED told him that "the White House is runnin this" (!!!). A very early appearance of White House which supposedly stayed out of FBI investigations. Lisa mentions email

20/ Would be interesting to see Lisa's email saying "otherwise" i.e. that White House not running this. Strzok goes to meet boss Bill [Priestap] ~5 pm, who was "FREAKING out", perhaps about their earlier meeting with [DOJ].

21/ Sat Aug 6. mostly unrelated, complain about FBI email system. Strzok gives Lisa some advice on what to say to McCabe, described as having "limited bandwidth" about a really bad memo. Sir Humphreyesque: "l'm not sure l found that as compelling as you did",

22/ reading Strzok-Page texts as a whole, there are a LOT of texts about career advancement. Here Strzok carries a grudge because his then supervisor Giacalone appears to have cost Strzok 5 months of posting at a higher job rating because he was busy on other matters.

23/ after griping about Giacolone, there is notorious Aug 6 exchange in which Lisa tells Strz "maybe you're meant to stay-where you are because you're
meant to protect the country from that men". Strzok back from London only 3 days before.

24/ the two lovers aretext quiet through Sunday day Aug 7. Only two peripheral texts.

25/ Mon Aug 8. Prep for Aug 10 White House session: internal joint cyber piece for Comey, scenesetter for REDACTED. A REDACTED "directed all the cyber info be pulled" . Didn't make sense to Strzok who let Bill [Priestap] and Jim [Baker?] hammer out first.

26/ Mon Aug 8. sparse texts here,
aft: Lisa talking to REDACTED about Strzok.
11:30 pm: Strzok worries about Trump becoming president. "right? Right?!"
Early morning Tuesday (6 am), Lisa asks about Trump comment.

27/ late afternoon Tue Aug 9: Strzok suggests smaller briefing for McCabe since McCabe more likely to share thoughts with group that he knows

28/ Wed Aug 10 was scheduled day for White House brief. Lisa decides to go to morning brief, reporting to Strzok at 11 am EDT that it was "really good" talk.

29/ Strzok's Aug 10 11:27 am email: "Can l stop by? TON to tell you" is a LOT more interesting in context that Aug 10 was day of White House briefing. This cross-dates with Brennan's concurrent manipulation. Wonder what Strzok's take on meeting was?

30/ Aug 10 3:30 pm EDT day of WH briefing. Strzok appears to have remembered something subsequent to seeing Lisa: "[George] Toscas [of DOJ] already toid Stu Evans everything". REDACTED called to set up a meeting, he already knew REDACTED. Wonder who and what.

31/ watch this carefully in context that Clinton campaign was desperately trying to provoke announcement of FBI inquiry into Trump campaign. A press inquiry to wfo [Washington Field Office] about REDACTED "linked to it" and about "opening a case". Connected to leak abt WH brief??

32/ also watch this. Evening Aug 10. REDACTED reporter "went crazy stalky on [Strzok] to figure out if there was anything to the inquiry". Presumably Hillary dirty tricks' team had tipped reporter on supposedly secret inquiry.

33/ evening Aug 10, day of WH brief: Lisa thinks up REDACTED "codename" for project. Strzok dumbfounded that "WE ARE SERIOUSLY LOOKING AT THESE ·ALLEGATIONS AND THE PERVASIVE CONNECTIONS", Wonders "What the hell has happened to our country!?!?!??"

34/ Aug 11. Lisa first to tell Strzok that he has been appointed as DAD [Deputy Assistant Director] Counterintelligence

26a/ correction: it was Lisa, not Strzok, who worried here about Trump becoming President.

35/ I'll take this thread through to insurance policy to see how and if it connects to London meeting.

36/ Fri Aug 12. Strzok asks Lisa to come to his office. Promises to "blow her mind". Later in afternoon, Lisa writing email to D [Comey] explaining "all of this". Strzok says that he "NEED[S]" to talk to her before leaving for day.

37/ Fri Aug 12. Strzok reported Guccifer 2 announcement of DCCC hack. G2: "even easier than...DNC breach", thanked Nirali Amin for list of passwords

38/ Sat Aug 13. Strzok plans "CI brief presentation" by REDACTED for Jon[Moffa], Strzok himself and REDACTED2. Considers another one for Aug 15 for Bill [Priestap], Jim Baker and Lisa.

39/ Aug 13. Strzok sends draft to Lisa. Wants to tell "state to go f it", "State's BS just makes me want to include those additional 302s. But that's just vindictiveness talking". Probably Clinton 302s being assembled for Sept release. FBI held back some embarrassing 302s. Which?

40/ Sun Aug 14. Heavily redacted. Lisa was then working on MYE-MidYear Exam (Clinton email) documents and 302s. Impossible to interpret through redactions. What is reason for redaction?

41/ Sun evening: Rybicki asked Strzok to brief D[Comey] on REDACTED at 3:30 pm. Others in brief: DD McCabe, Associate DD Bowdich , Exec Asst D Steinbach, GC Baker, Trisha Anderson (OGC), REDACT, Priestap, Moffa. See fbi.gov/news/pressrel/…

42/ Monday early am Aug 15. Famous "insurance policy" email is at 6:29 am EDT (UTM-4). So it refers back to McCabe meeting the previous week - a point generally overlooked. Is there enough information to pin down date?

43/ Mon Aug 15. Quiet text day. Timing of brief to D[Comey] is fluid.

44/ Tue Aug 16: Strzok asks Lisa about a WH meeting scheduled for Thu Aug 18 (presumably followup to Aug 10 meeting.) In August 2016, Brennan (according to WaPo) had set up task force reporting at highest WH levels.

45/ Wed Aug 17 early a.m. Strzok tries to get Moffa invite for "IPC" stuff [?Information Presentation Component] with "election threat". Is this WH meeting of Aug17? FBI represented by Cyber (perhaps AD Trainor). "Asked CD1 and they punted to C3S" - what are these acronyms?

46/ Thu Aug 18 early morning: Strzok has SVTC (Secure Video-Teleconferencing System) with Brits - which ones? Lisa has WH meeting - is this related to Brennan's task force? Mark date.

47/ no mention of Lisa's Aug 18 meeting at WH in texts - is this because there weren't any texts or because of missing texts?

48/ Dri Aug 19 early morning. Strzok-Lisa discuss NYT article claiming that Hillary told FBI that Colin Powell told Hillary to use private email. Seems to be this article: nytimes.com/2016/08/19/us/…

49/ Fri Aug 19 late aft: Strzok called to brief DNI (Clapper). Reports later to Lisa that meeting went well.

50/ Fri Aug 19 late. Strzok and Lisa wonder about leak to CNN that Manafort being investigated for corruption in Ukraine. Buried, CNN said that Podestas also being investigated.
cnn.com/2016/08/19/pol…

51/ Here's excerpt from CNN article saying that investigation of Podestas included in probe. This is relevant to recent revelation of Rosenstein's August 2, 2017 letter on scope of Mueller investigation - will revert on this.

52/ next week quiet on this front. On Aug 26, Lisa has meeting on NSLs, complaining about "transparency crap". National Security Letters are secret administrative subpoenas that do not require judge approval. Disclosure prohibited.
