I think with the recent news it’s important to circle back and make a few points regarding this older Dec 2018 Comey interview. I’m not sure how to clip things to view in thread as others do. Sorry. I can barely make threads.
First watch ~46min to 48 min in and contrast with this 👇🏼 One thing I want to point out is by Spring 2015 DNC hacked but they took nothing; Spring 2016 second hack took place in which Dutch watched entire time.🤨FBI was aware emails were taken which could be used against Hillary. https://twitter.com/georgepapa19/status/1127042727332302848
While FBI had to be concerned at this point what Russians would do with hacked emails from private server, Dutch intelligence literally watched as the DNC hack happened, so FBI had to be considering leaking or blackmail risk on HILLARY, too. So how does Judge Napalatino fit in? https://twitter.com/johnwhuber/status/1001869570016149504
Too many try to confuse us by lumping in the emails Americans were wondering had been hacked on Hillary’s private server which was an ongoing bigger deal at the moment, btwn the hacked DNC and Podesta emails which weren’t publicly known yet. FBI knew by this point a risk of both.
What’s also interesting is really any American could be talking about hacked Hillary emails by Russia at this point, though notice Comey stated by the time CI investigations were opened, they were on Manafort, Page, Flynn, PapaD and he states NOT Trump.
In a different interview, clip I’m still trying to find and will add to thread when I do, Comey discusses a CI investigation and that he wasn’t sure what happened to it. Then of course this 👇🏼 https://twitter.com/drawandstrike/status/967599826539106304
And this https://twitter.com/msnbc/status/1123471184031567874

Also this, 👇🏼 none of these in any particular order https://twitter.com/foxbusiness/status/1003640351238868993
What should be pointed out here strongly (and especially to the left and the media) is a counterintel investigation is different than a criminal one. Recall FBI SAC Mike Gaeta’s testimony regarding Steele’s info they’d been getting even before making him a paid asset in 2013?
They weren’t planning to ever have Steele testify in a case or be a witness, whether he was supplying FIFA intel, Mogilevich, the later dossier, or whatever.

These types of CI investigations are run differently. So what is the significance they opened a CI? 🤔
Keep in mind that we know Hillary had her private server during 2010 when in middle of yr Russian spies were deported because one in particular(Cynthia Murphy)was getting close to her, yet there was no *known* CI investigation opened by the FBI to protect or investigate her.
It’s interesting to me Steele opening his Orbis business w/partner coincided with kickoff of so-called Russia Reset, Russian election hacking that prior year we didn’t know about until years later. And Steele intro to Gaeta Spring ‘10 —Russian spies deported couple months later.
We also know oddly, Carter Page’s involvement with the Buryakov case began not long after this wrangling up of Russian spies occurred.

Another Russian spy investigation after Illegals brought him into the mix and then later into 2016 w/ Trump campaign. https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5d7f73dee4b077dcbd6159b1/amp
But what also figures into the middle here is before Yanukovych being ousted and Crimea annex 2014 and Page giving binders to Russian spies that contain recording devices 2013, we didn’t learn until last year Russia was compromising FBI by 2012, if this reporting accurate.👇🏼
So Obama, McCain campaigns were hacked 2008. No one is clear what was really taken. They blamed China. Then within a couple short months, Russia Reset, Skolkovo, etc. Then one Russian spy was gtg close to Clinton by the following year, bringing abrupt end to 10-yr investigation.
Was there any CI investigation opened on this? What records did @jsolomonReports see?

By 2013, when acc. to Yahoo, elite FBI teams were already getting comms intercepted by Russians, Obama admin still attributing 2008 campaign hacking to China.

Shawn Henry, CrowdStrike.👇🏼
Yet FF to May 2017, less than 4 mos. after Trump inauguration Newsweek was all like no, the 2008 campaign was hacked by Russia, not China, or hey, maybe it was both. 🤨🤔 Per Area 1 Security. We touched on them before. 👇🏼 https://twitter.com/supersleuthgrl/status/1265697310736093187
I don’t understand counterintelligence at all to wrap my head around all. Can CI investigations last decades? Did the one which began in 2000, deported Rus spies in 2010 ever close? Why doesn’t it ever matter that Obama’s shit was hacked and Russians could have blackmailed him?
Or later her? What did American gain from Russia Reset? Did we gain anything?

I’m going to wrap this here. This thread contains only questions; I seem to never have any answers. But at least we try. Only very few journos seem to want truth regardless of politics.
I just lack any knowledge around CI investigations, but this whole counterintelligence investigation everyone’s concerned went dark - could it conflict with other ongoing CI work? Why was a CI team embedded with Mueller team? 🤔What were they doing?
Why does no one on the left or even GOP screaming how did Obama just let Russia interfere with FBI comms from these compounds(2012), yet not dropkick them from country until four yrs later after election? Why’s no one bring up the obvious that Obama literally hacked by Russia
then did the Russian Reset, followed by Russians allegedly making fools of the FBI according to the Yahoo article, and pretty much allowed the election interference in 2016 to happen? He was so weak.

Obama to Putin: “Cut it out.”
