2019-12-27: PIN-POINTING THE MOMENT CARTER PAGE BECAME A CROSSFIRE TARGET, by
Monsieur America

On April 1, 2016, the week after Trump named Carter Page as a foreign policy advisor, the NYFO CI [New York Field Office Counter Intelligence] Supervisor received an email from the Counterespionage Section advising her to open a counterintelligence investigation on Page of a as-still classified nature. On April 6, 2016, NYFO opened the investigation on Carter Page under a code name the FBI assigned to him…

Lynch told the OIG [Horowitz] that after one such [weekly] meeting in the Spring of 2016 Comey and McCabe pulled her aside and provided information about Carter Page. According to Lynch, Comey and McCabe provided her with information indicating that Russian intelligence reportedly planned to use Page for information and to develop other contacts in the United States, and that they were interested in his affiliation with the campaign.

In stark contrast, Comey and McCabe both deny to Horowitz any memory of these Spring off-record briefings with Lynch.

The emails from NYFO to CD HQ were provided to be used for a “Director’s note” and a separate “Director’s Brief” to be held on April 27, 2016.

At that time, the former navy intelligence officer Carter Page was assisting the FBI investigation of real Russian spies.

How the “Russia Investigation” was spawned 20+ years ago,
How it swamped Hillary Clinton’s bid for POTUS,
How it evolved from the 90’s to the current day,
How it surrounds yet is harmless to Trump,
How the Intel Community is involved.

In its earliest incarnations, Facebook’s social-media relationships were built on top of actual social relationships.

Hierarchy is necessary to the functioning of a healthy society.

 

The basic structure of social media is designed to erode some of those “natural and institutional differences,” but not to replace them with a “democratizing” regime of the sort referred to by Willner.

 

if Twitter seems like more of a sewer than Facebook, it is because Twitter is designed to be a sewer, while Facebook devolved into one

 

The problem with our elites is not arrogance but incompetence.
