10) Much has been learned and new information is being provided almost daily.

For those paying attention, 2018 proved a year of discovery.

Despite ongoing efforts from the media to obfuscate the truth.
theepochtimes.com/the-spygate-sc…
11) But it was access to congressional transcripts that allowed for new insights into efforts by our agencies and intelligence community.
theepochtimes.com/whats-trending
12) The transcripts contain a litany of governmental abuse - including that of the FISA process and the FISA Courts.
theepochtimes.com/fbi-testimonie…
13) And make clear that Clinton was never in any real investigative danger.
theepochtimes.com/exclusive-doj-…
14) Also made clear is the simple fact that our intelligence communities and federal agencies were weaponized while our national surveillance apparatus and processes were abused.
15) Foreign intelligence agencies - particularly from the UK and Australia - played key roles in pushing unofficial intelligence into US channels.
theepochtimes.com/the-uk-and-aus…
16) John Brennan, who appears to have been the point man in the operation to stop a potential Trump presidency, pushed foreign intelligence into the FBI.

For him to embark on such a mission without direct presidential authority seems both a stretch and particularly foolhardy.
17) Mueller’s investigation, which has established there never was any collusion on the part of the Trump campaign, has exposed ongoing FARA violations & influence peddling through the investigation of Paul Manafort.

His Deripaska, Ukrainian ties exposed.
theepochtimes.com/is-mueller-pro…
18) The Mueller Report has not yet been made public.

But President Trump told Graham “Just release it.”

And the coming report from the Inspector General is specifically focused on FISA Abuse.
19) In some respects, the media has played the most disingenuous of roles.

Areas of investigation that historically would have proven irresistible to reporters of the past have been steadfastly ignored.

Political narratives replacing honest reporting.
20) Many have asked how the media could have gotten things so wrong - and for so long.

The sad truth is that the media worked very hard to obscure a conclusion that was not particularly difficult to arrive at.

There was no collusion. At least not by the Trump Campaign.
21) But a more unsettling question remains.

What if the events surrounding the 2016 presidential election were not so unusual.

What if Spygate is not the biggest political scandal our nation has encountered?

What if it's simply the most visible?
22) How long has the US been subject to interference from the intelligence community and our political agencies?

With willing media assistance.

Was the 2016 presidential election a one-time aberration, or is this episode symptomatic of a larger pattern extending back decades?

Meanwhile, Baker was asked if this type of interaction with an outside counsel had ever occurred before. In response, Baker admitted that his interaction with Sussmann was singularly unique:

Mr. Baker: I that that’s correct. Sitting here today, that’s the only one I can remember
Sussmann was never interviewed by the FBI, which Baker also found surprising, noting:

“It is logical to me that we [the FBI] would go back and interview [Sussmann].”

Sussmann WAS interviewed by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on Dec. 18, 2017.
Meadows to Baker:

“Everything about this investigation seems to have been done in an abnormal way, the way that you have gotten the information, the way that Strzok got information, the way that Ohr was used, the way that Perkins Coie actually came in and gave you information.”

Durham Filing Detailing Spying on Trump White House Raises National Security Implications

New from @HansMahncke & Myself
theepochtimes.com/durham-filing-…
Durham also notes an email exchange re: the Alfa allegations involving former Perkins Coie attorney Marc Elias and three Clinton campaign officials: communications director Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook, and senior foreign policy advisor Jake Sullivan.
That email exchange w/Elias, Sullivan, Palmieri and Mook re: the now-disproven Alfa Bank allegations took place on Sep. 15, 2016, only four days before Sussmann took the Alfa information to the FBI.

1) Durham Filing Rebuts Inspector General Horowitz’s Claims on Missing Cellphones, Hints at Growing Rift

Durham-Horowitz: Part II

From @HansMahncke & myself

Thread includes an abbreviated timeline of events, as follows:
theepochtimes.com/durham-filing-…
2) Dec. 17, 2021

Horowitz informed Durham that in March 2017 Sussmann told an OIG SAG that one of his clients had observed that a specific OIG employee’s computer was “seen publicly” in “Internet traffic” and was connecting to a Virtual Private Network in a foreign country.
3) At the time Horowitz provided this report to Durham on December 17, 2021, Horowitz represented to Durham & team that it had “no other file[s] or other documentation” relating to this cyber matter.

1) Based on Durham's new filing it seems Horowitz felt compelled to respond - perhaps because Durham's Jan 25th filing was so damaging.

"After reviewing the Special Counsel’s Office’s public filing, the DOJ Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) brought to our attention..."
2) Horowitz's response as detailed in Durham's new filing appears weak - and does not seem to be backed by much evidence.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3) Horowitz says OIG records show that Baker's two cell phones were "likely" discussed during a call on Feb. 12, 2018.

Durham says he does not remember either this call or the discussion of Baker's cell phones.

Note: OIG did not gain possession of phones until Feb 15, 2018.

We already knew that Daszak continued his work under his NIH grant until April 2020. May even have gone beyond. This was revealed in Daszak's response letter to NIH. See below.

The question is, was ANY work done/funded under Daszak's 2018 proposal.
theepochtimes.com/daszaks-ecohea…
The 2018 proposal, provided by DRASTIC, is separate (technically) from Daszak's NIH-funded work.

2018 proposal (funding denied) contained remarkable similarities to Covid pandemic but the Murphy report needs more vetting from what I've seen.
theepochtimes.com/research-propo…
As noted last night, it's entirely possible there's conflation between Dasak's NIH-funded work & his 2018 proposal.

It's also possible that Veritas report is correct but we need more.

Seems almost too neat, too perfect. Raises questions.

Waiting for more info before judgment.

This is in direct relation to documents previously released by DRASTIC.

The rejection letter referred to was included in the DRASTIC release.

BUT this does re-raise the very valid question as to why this proposal from Daszak was buried.

See:
theepochtimes.com/research-propo…
Note that the DRASTIC release was already authenticated by Linfa Wang, one of the scientists who was involved in Daszak’s proposal.
