The insurance policy

Main article: Deep State coup

On August 15, 2016 CIA Dir. John Brennan gave an unusual private briefing to Democrat Minority Leader Harry Reid in which he told Reid the FBI should take the lead in an investigation of the Trump campaign. The FBI is the federal agency in charge of domestic intelligence and, unlike the CIA, can spy on U.S. citizens. Two days after Brennan’s special briefing, Reid sent a letter to Dir. Comey demanding an investigation targeting “individuals tied to Trump” to determine if they coordinated with the Russian government “to influence our election.” Reid alludes to Carter Page and repeated the unproven charge from Hillary Clinton's opposition research dossier that Page met with two Kremlin officials in Moscow in July 2016 to discuss removing U.S. sanctions on Russia. Carter Page already denied the allegation under oath, swearing he never even met the Russian officials named in Clinton's opposition research dossier.[28]

The same day Strzok texted Lisa Page:

I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy [McCabe]'s office that there's no way [Trump] gets elected – but I'm afraid we can't take that risk. It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40…[29]

Carter Page is a US citizen who served as a volunteer advisor to the Trump campaign. The October 2016 FISA application first had to be certified by Director Comey or Deputy Director McCabe of the FBI. It then had to be certified by Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, Dana Boente, or Rod Rosenstein, or the Senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General for National Security Division. The FBI and DOJ obtained one initial FISA warrant and three 90 day FISA renewals from the FISA court. In the case of Carter Page, relevant information and potentially exculpatory material was not provided to the FISA court on these four separate occasions over the next year.

Within a week after signing the documents to begin the Trump-Russia investigation, Strzok traveled to London to interview "a key witness". Strzok and Lisa Page debated what would be shared with DOJ prosecutors while the investigation is ongoing:

Strzok - I think we need to consider the lines of what we disclose to DOJ. For example, the last stipulation notes we will not disclose.

Lisa Page sent Strzok a text,

Page – Jesus. You should read this. And Trump should go f himself. Moment in Convention Glare Shakes Up Khans American Life https://nyti.ms/2aHulE0

Strzok – God that’s a great article. Thanks for sharing. And F TRUMP.

Page – And maybe you’re meant to stay where you are because you’re meant to protect the country from that menace. To that end comma, read this:

Page – Trump Enablers Will Finally Have to Take A Stand https://nyti.ms/2aFakry

Strzok – Thanks. It’s absolutely true that we’re both very fortunate. And of course I’ll try and approach it that way. I just know it will be tough at times. I can protect our country at many levels, not sure if that helps

On October 28, 2016, ten days before the election, James Comey reopened the Clinton email investigation. 600,000 classified State Department emails were found on Anthony Weiner's computer. Attn. Gen. Loretta Lynch opposed notifying Congress, but aides persuade her firing Comey for doing so would put Lynch in the midst of a firestorm.[30] Comey's hand was forced by New York Police Department (NYPD) investigators who seized Weiner's laptop and turned it over to the FBI late in the game. Comey's surprise letter to Congress threw Clinton's lead in the polls into a tailspin. The "insurance policy" became operational: government leaks alleging collusion between Trump and Russia were rampant.[31] Ironically, the New York Times at the same time ran a story and headline that said, Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link To Russia:

For much of the summer, the F.B.I. pursued a widening investigation into a Russian role in the American presidential campaign. Agents scrutinized advisers close to Donald J. Trump, looked for financial connections with Russian financial figures, searched for those involved in hacking the computers of Democrats, and even chased a lead – which they ultimately came to doubt – about a possible secret channel of email communication from the Trump Organization to a Russian bank.

Oleg Deripaska & Robert Mueller

(Real collusion!)

In 2009, when Robert Mueller ran the FBI, the bureau asked Deripaska to spend millions of his own dollars funding an FBI-supervised operation to rescue a retired FBI agent, Robert Levinson, captured in Iran while working for the CIA in 2007.

FBI agents courted Deripaska in 2009 in a series of secret hotel meetings in Paris; Vienna; Budapest, Hungary, and Washington. Deripaska ultimately spent $25 million assembling a private search and rescue team that worked with Iranian contacts under the FBI's watchful eye.

Robyn Gritz, the retired FBI agent who supervised the case in 2009 said

"I kept Director Mueller and Deputy Director [John] Pistole informed of the various efforts and operations, and they offered to intervene with State, if necessary."

The FBI had three reasons for choosing Deripaska for a mission worthy of a spy novel. First, his aluminum empire had business in Iran. Second, the FBI wanted a foreigner to fund the operation because spending money in Iran might violate U.S. sanctions and other laws. Third, agents knew Deripaska had been banished since 2006 from the United States by State over reports he had ties to organized crime.[2]

Melanie Sloan, a former Clinton Justice Department lawyer and longtime ethics watchdog said s "far more significant issue" is whether the earlier FBI operation was even legal:

"It's possible the bureau's arrangement with Mr. Deripaska violated the Antideficiency Act, which prohibits the government from accepting voluntary services."[3]

In fall 2009, according to U.S. entry records, Deripaska visited Washington on a rare law enforcement parole visa. And since 2011, he has been granted entry at least eight times on a diplomatic passport, even though he doesn't work for the Russian Foreign Ministry. Former FBI officials confirm they arranged the access.

Trump-Russia

Main article: Trump-Russia collusion hoax

Deripaska also appears to be one of the first Russians the FBI asked for help when it began investigating the now-infamous Fusion GPS "Steele Dossier." Adam Waldman gave a detailed account, some of which U.S. officials confirm separately.

Two months before Donald Trump was elected president, Deripaska was in New York as part of Russia's United Nations delegation when three FBI agents awakened him in his home; at least one agent had worked with Deripaska on the aborted effort to rescue Levinson. During an hour-long visit, the agents posited a theory that Trump's campaign was secretly colluding with Russia to hijack the U.S. election.

"Deripaska laughed but realized, despite the joviality, that they were serious," Waldman said. "So he told them in his informed opinion the idea they were proposing was false. 'You are trying to create something out of nothing,' he told them."

The agents left though the FBI sought more information in 2017 from the Russian. Waldman declined to say if Deripaska has been in contact with the FBI since Sept, 2016.

The U.S. government in April 2018 imposed sanctions on Deripaska, one of several prominent Russians targeted to punish Vladimir Putin - using the same sort of allegations that the State Department used from 2006 to 2009. Yet, between those two episodes, Deripaska seemed good enough for the FBI to ask him to fund that multimillion-dollar rescue mission. And to seek his help on a sensitive political investigation. And to allow him into the country eight times.
