"Obama Administration Set to Expand Sharing of Data That N.S.A. Intercepts"

Charlie Savage, February 25, 2016, The New York Times

nytimes.com/2016/02/26/us/…

"The Obama administration is on the verge of permitting the National Security Agency to share more of the private communications it intercepts with other American intelligence agencies without first applying any privacy protections to them."

"The change would relax longstanding restrictions on access to the contents of the phone calls and email the security agency vacuums up around the world..."

"Welcome To The Russian Game: It's Embarrassing, It's Dirty, And It Might Be Out of Control"

Miriam Elder, BuzzFeed News, July 25, 2016

buzzfeednews.com/article/miriam…

"This is what the Kremlin excels at - call it kompromat, or black PR, or information warfare. (The terms in Russian are many! It's kind of like the 'Inuit have dozens of words for snow' thing, but with the added bonus of being true."

"The DNC hack appears to be just the latest example - but the boldest Russia has tried in some time, if not ever."

Now look at that picture, get somebody to take a photograph of you looking at that picture, then frame the photograph of you looking at the picture next to the picture of you and Stone.

Anybody who can work out what movie I'm referencing wins.

The answer was "Not Another Teen Movie", starring Chris Evans.

It's a stupid movie.

The media will tell people that The Boston Globe was sold by The New York Times for $70 million, which was a loss, because The New York Times bought it for $1.1 billion.

John W. Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool Football Club, bought the newspaper.

Funnily enough, it turns out that NEWSWEEK sold for $1 in 2010 to Sidney Harman.

businessinsider.com/its-official-n…

Newsweek was sold by The Washington Post for $1 to Sidney Harman and Harman Media.

I personally think Trump is mixing these examples up.

I've thought about this a lot and I'm gonna hedge my bets that George Nader was the one being spied on / FISA'd, whatever you want to call it, by the FBI, probably since he showed up in the United States inquiring on behalf of Sheikh al-Nahyan.

You may recall this article from May 19, 2018 in The New York Times.

"Trump Jr. and Other Aides Met With Gulf Emissary Offering Help to Win Election"

nytimes.com/2018/05/19/us/…

On August 3, 2016, George Nader, alongside Joel Zamel, met with Donald Trump, Jr. to offer their services to use Zamel's company, Psy-Group, with the election. The meeting was arranged by Erik Prince.

nytimes.com/2018/05/19/us/…

Ike Kaveladze of Crocus International was at the Trump Tower meeting.

Charles Johnson tried to gain documents for the deceased Peter W. Smith recently.

Charles is also part of the Russia probe.

By suspending Cernovich's Medium account a while ago (I'm not sure when), it also led to people being unable to access the original "Susan Rice Requested Unmasking of Incoming Trump Administration Officials" article from April 2, 2017.

So here it is:

archive.is/xBMV7

Susan Rice was discovered as being behind unmasking requests in March 2017 by the White House Counsel's Office.

archive.is/xBMV7

bloomberg.com/view/articles/…

Ezra Cohen-Watnick actually discovered the issues in February 2017, but then passed this information over to the White House Counsel's Office, who then conducted their own review in March 2017.

bloomberg.com/view/articles/…

The intelligence reports provided to Devin Nunes (whether it be Ezra Cohen-Watnick or Michael Ellis or whomever) apparently contained transcripts of Ambassadors and foreign officials discussing how to develop contacts with the Trump Administration.

nytimes.com/2017/03/30/us/…

This falls in line with my GENERAL theory that they used and abused Sergey Kislyak's FISA to spy on Trump and his transition team.

Remember also, just yesterday I noted that somebody clearly picked up the communications of the January 2017 Seychelles meeting.

During Christopher Steele's visit to Rome, Italy in September 2016, Steele met with four American officials about his memos and research into Trump and Russia - some of whom had flown in from the United States.

washingtonpost.com/politics/hero-…

Andrew Wood gave advice to Steele in Fall of 2016.

Lindsey Graham apparently also gave advice, but I have no idea when or if this sentence was even given to Steele at all.

washingtonpost.com/politics/hero-…

Richard Dearlove continued to seek Christopher Steele's expertise after Steele had founded Orbis Business Intelligence due to his expertise on Russia.

washingtonpost.com/politics/hero-…

In March 2016, George Papadopoulos attempted to arrange a meeting between the Trump campaign and Russians in an email titled "Meeting with Russian Leadership -- Including Putin". The campaign dismissed the proposal.

cnn.com/2017/08/23/pol…

More specifically, this occurred on March 24, 2016.

washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…

On April 27, 2016, George Papadopoulos attempted to arrange a meeting again, this time by e-mailing Corey Lewandowski.

washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…

Julia Ioffe was approached with the Christopher Steele dossier story. She said this on January 10, 2017, the day the dossier was revealed.

Note that Ioffe wrote the article "Who Is Carter Page?" for Politico on September 23, 2016.

Interestingly, Emily Kassie asks Julia Ioffe about why BuzzFeed chose to publish the dossier. Ioffe's answer is "Ask Miriam Elder".

Ed Baumgartner did research for Fusion GPS on the topics of Paul Manafort and Ukraine in relation to the 2016 Presidential election, according to Glenn Simpson shortly after the end of the Prevezon case.

feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/…

Glenn Simpson met another associate of Orbis Business Intelligence in London, England, but said he could not remember their name.

Glenn Simpson and Christopher Steele discussed over the phone Paul Manafort and his dealings with Russian oligarchs.

I asked the question back in May 2018 but it now needs asking again:

What day did George Papadopoulos visit the United Nations General Assembly, and what day did FBI agents ask Oleg Deripaska for help?

Oleg Deripaska was a member of Russia's United Nations delegation team.

This was my question from May 15, 2018:

https://twitter.com/The_War_Economy/status/996451355761037316

This is Oleg Deripaska on Russia's delegation team for the 71st Session of the United Nations General Assembly:

The first thing that stood out was that the meeting between Bruce Ohr and Glenn Simpson at the Washington coffee shop is now listed as taking place on December 10, 2016.

thehill.com/hilltv/rising/…

According to Bryan York's article for The Washington Examiner, the Washington coffee shop meeting was meant to have happened on December 9, 2016.

I remember when CNN ran a segment on January 18, 2017 when Wolf Blitzer and Briad Todd actively discussed the idea of the entire Trump Administration being wiped out on Inauguration Day to bring the Obama Administration back into power.

breitbart.com/big-government…

https://twitter.com/oliverdarcy/status/1027649581662838789

I remember back when Wolf Blitzer suggested that the terrorist attack carried out in Barcelona, Spain, which killed 13 people and injured 80 others after a white van hit pedestrians drove into them, was a copycat of Charlottesville.

huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/cnn-wolf…

I remember back when CNN asked "Why does the Las Vegas shooter's motive even matter?"

Robert Allen Jones acted as the Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division at the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Headquarters from 2014.

fbi.gov/news/pressrel/…

However, Robert Allen Jones was removed from his counterintelligence position in August 2016 by Director James Comey as he was transferred to the position of Assistant Director of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate.

executivegov.com/2016/07/john-a…

For reference, Robert Jones's former position as Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division was then taken over by Peter Strzok, who applied for it in July 2016.

Kim Sengupta of The Independent published the article "US Senate calls on British spy Christopher Steele to give evidence on explosive Trump-Russia dossier" on March 2, 2017.

Specifically, the article is about the Senate Intelligence Committee.

independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

"Mr Steele's friends say it is currently unlikely he would be willing to travel to the US. But it is understood Democrats - as well as some Republicans - in Congress are prepared to facilitate discreet initial meetings in the UK or on other neutral territory."

March 30, 2017.

Chris Steele tells Bruce Ohr that the Senate Intelligence Committee leaks beyond belief.

Same day, Adam Waldman tells Mark Warner that Chris is concerned about leaks.
