Newly released documents open a path to the true origins of the Russia hoax

The FBI used Comey’s account of his talks with Trump — and Trump’s firing of Comey — to support the obstruction theory.

 

Another critical layer has now been exposed. The FBI says its predicate for the probe rested on “predetermined criteria established by the Crossfire Hurricane investigative team” based on an assessment of supposedly “reliable lead information.”

 

Who built that predicate?

 

Peter Strzok, a central figure in Crossfire Hurricane, and FBI lawyer Lisa Page were close to the investigation.

 

When Page asked whether Trump would become president, Strzok replied: “No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it.”

 

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz later said that message was not merely indicative of a biased state of mind but implied a willingness to take official action to affect a candidate’s electoral prospects.

 

Yet the actual drafter of the opening communication remains redacted. That name should be released.

 

So should the names of everyone who formulated, reviewed or supplied the “reliable lead information” used to put a sitting president under investigation — along with the communications among Priestap, Baker, McCabe and the investigative team, McCabe’s record of what he told Rosenstein, what Rosenstein knew before he appointed Mueller and what Mueller did, if anything, to independently validate the extraordinary allegation he was tasked to investigate.

 

Here is the startling contradiction. Horowitz concluded the FBI had enough — under its relatively low investigative threshold — to open Crossfire Hurricane in July 2016. But that investigation targeted four Trump campaign associates: George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn.

 

The newly declassified document reveals a far graver step 10 months later: a full investigation of whether the sitting president himself was directed by, controlled by, or coordinating with Russia. What evidence justified that extraordinary escalation?

Subpoena Priestap, Baker, McCabe, Rosenstein and Comey for sworn, public testimony.

 

Strzok and Page sat inside Crossfire Hurricane and should account for how the investigative predicate developed.

 

Get down to the working-agent level. Stephen Somma — the “Case Agent 1” faulted for the Carter Page FISA errors — along with the FBI’s Joseph Pientka and, above all, Walter Giardina, could reveal the hoax’s inner workings.

 

FBI whistleblowers allege Giardina (who was also involved in prosecuting me) was an initial recipient of the Steele dossier, falsely represented that it had been corroborated and later wiped the laptop assigned to him while working for Mueller, apparently violating established record-preservation procedures.
