I’ve been offline for a few days and dunno if the diggers have spoken on these recently-released emails. But the details of what Strzok, Page, Kortan and Quinn knew in advance about what DNCNN was going to report and when on 1/10/17 is a big deal.
It’s also potentially a big deal that those four met basically during Comey’s debriefing of POTUS on 1/6/17, together with Herring and some other redacted person.
They certainly knew about the POTUS and PEOTUS debriefings before they happened.
And of course the plan was always to provide DNCNN with a news hook.
And part of the plan seems to have been for DNCNN to start blabbing after Comey’s public testimony on the Hill, after they went into executive session, to expand the universe of possible suspected leakers.
But they didn’t intend to actually publish to unverified dossier, just to treat it as a classified IC matter. But Buzzfeed rocked the boat.
The news hook plan was “reporting on the briefing, not the underlying allegations.”
Strzok and his pals even kept close tabs on the pre-leak whereabouts of Trump’s copy of the the memo (and attached 2 page Steele-related addendum). Boy, they would’ve loved to blame the leak on Trump!
