Starting now! Our partnership with @postlive and a conversation on disinformation with #JamesClapper @alynnbryant @GrahamBrookie and our own @SuzanneNossel! washingtonpost.com/washington-pos…
@postlive @AlynnBryant @GrahamBrookie @SuzanneNossel "This is an ideal time for adversaries...to look for ways to further confuse us, to distract us, and of course you can bet our good friends the Russians are doing this by further sowing seeds of disinformation," says Clapper.
Clapper: "I think a lot has been done to secure the voting apparatus...acknowledging the fact that it's very decentralized." Says that is both a strength and a weakness. Makes broad scale interference more difficult. CC @LarryNorden @lizlhoward

News Analysis🔎The belief that Lt. @GenFlynn was set up by the @FBI has been backed up by a string of evidence in documents released by the #DOJ. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/flynn-was-set-…
#Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 to one count of lying to the @FBI.

On May 7, however, the #DOJ dropped the case against him, saying that when #FBI interviewed #GeneralFlynn on Jan. 24, 2017, the investigation into him was “no longer justifiably predicated.” theepochtimes.com/doj-drops-case…
—The @FBI opened a case on #Flynn on Aug. 16, 2016. courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

The stated reason was that @GenFlynn had “ties” to some entities “affiliated” with #Russia, and visited Russia the year before.

Analysis🔎by Jeff Carlson @themarketswork

In a newly unredacted footnote from the @JusticeOIG #IGReport on #FISAabuse, the urgency behind the @FBI obtaining a #FISA warrant on Trump campaign adviser @CarterWPage becomes clear. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/declassificati…
In the #IGReport, #Horowitz detailed a last-minute flurry of activity that transpired ahead of the issuance of the @CarterWPage #FISA, including a possible intervention from then-Deputy @FBI Director McCabe, to push a seemingly reluctant #DOJ official, Stuart Evans, for approval.
“Footnote 276” was initially redacted in the #IGReport, but was declassified, among other footnotes, following a request from @SenRonJohnson and @ChuckGrassley.

In the declassified footnote, IG #Horowitz elaborated on the urgency behind #LisaPage’s communications with #McCabe:

News Analysis🔎US Attorney #JohnDurham, tasked to look into the origins of the @FBI’s “#CrossfireHurricane” investigation, is now “investigating @CIA resistance to sharing #Russian secrets,” according to a report in @NYTimes. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/durham-reporte…
#Durham is reportedly looking into “whether and how information from foreign governments or the C.I.A. played any role in stoking suspicions at the F.B.I. about Trump campaign links to Russia.”
It had previously been reported that #Durham was expected to seek an interview with former @CIA Director @JohnBrennan as well as former Director of National Intelligence #JamesClapper, following an expansion of his investigation. theepochtimes.com/focus-of-durha…

While President Trump’s #Acquittal dominated the news this week, there were 3 other significant developments that received little attention. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/wrays-testimon…
1. On the morning of Feb. 5, @FBI Director #Wray made several significant and noteworthy comments and admissions pertaining to #FISAabuse and the ongoing investigation by US Attorney #JohnDurham during testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. c-span.org/video/?468923-…
2. That afternoon, a letter jointly sent by Sen. @ChuckGrassley and Sen. @RonJohnsonWI requested the dates and locations of any travel that #HunterBiden had made while receiving a protective detail from the @SecretService. grassley.senate.gov/sites/default/…

#DOJ internal investigation reveals that an #FBI special agent—who interviewed @GenFlynn and was supervisor of #CrossfireHurricane—played key role in problematic #FISA application.

Article by Jeff Carlson @themarketswork (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/fbi-agent-who-…
One of the special @FBI agents who interviewed Lt. @GenFlynn at the @WhiteHouse in Jan 2017 played a much bigger role in the #FBI’s #CrossfireHurricane counterintelligence investigation than previously assumed, the #HorowitzReport reveals. justice.gov/storage/120919…
@FBI @GenFlynn @WhiteHouse The agent was first introduced into the public in a May 11, 2018 letter from Sen. @ChuckGrassley, who was inquiring about the @FBI’s interview with @GenFlynn.

“Make Special Agent Joe Pientka available for a transcribed interview with Committee staff,” Grassley said.

“There is such a range of conduct here that is inexplicable… Our final recommendation was to refer the entire chain of command,” #IGHorowitz said. (Thread👇)

News Analysis🔎by Jeff Carlson @themarketswork theepochtimes.com/horowitz-repor…
The newly released #IGReport noted the material failures of the @FBI—“not only the operational team, but also of the managers and supervisors, including senior officials, in the chain of command”—with regard to the #FISA warrant application on Trump campaign aide @CarterWPage.
#IGHorowitz’s findings were so significant that he recommended the @FBI’s “entire chain of command” outlined in his report to the #DOJ for “consideration of how to assess and address their performance failures.” justice.gov/storage/120919…

While observers have long pointed out that former @CIA Director @JohnBrennan appears to have played a key role in the #Spygate scandal, actions taken by #Brennan and the #CIA now appear to have become a central focus of investigators. (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/focus-in-spyga…
Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC said IG #Horowitz was “doing a very in-depth dive about the FISA warrant application” & “the behavior regarding the counterintelligence operation.”

Graham noted the IG report has been delayed because “every time you turn around, you find something new.”
#Brennan appears to have played a key role in establishing the #FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign—including making repeated use of questionable foreign intelligence.

Nothing made #JamesClapper more furious than leaks to the press, in July 2012 he implemented new lie detector procedures, citing the need for aggressive action and insisted these new strict policies would help root out "would be leakers" @JohnBrennan you should take one😂
"deterring" sure sounds like bullying doesn't it? Ask @SharylAttkisson @JamesRosenTV etc while the liberals scream FREEDOM OF PRESS like the previous admin was rainbows and butterflies.

ALL MEDIA LEAKS MUST CEASE said @GenMhayden he created a special program with @ODNIgov to root out and identify all leakers. They must’ve missed #JamesWolfe

2013 President Obama looks to scrub #SecurityClearances Clapper calls increased eligibility a “threat to national security”
politico.com/story/2013/11/…
Here is the 2013 memo from #JamesClapper "when it is determined that access to classified information is no longer required, the department or agency shall terminate such access" sounds perfectly reasonable.

@GOPPollAnalyst So many gems here!! Look at Cheryl Mills, 911 emails from her trusty gmail account seven containing classified info at the time with another 208 under review.
@GOPPollAnalyst Wait what? Are they saying #bleachbit didn’t work? 😂🤣
@GOPPollAnalyst At least she used a server with a built in backdoor, that was nice I’m sure China was giddy.
