“It was worth reporting,” he said.
Some later changes can be retained. p. 79 Just to play devil's advocate, I'll use a right-wing GOP propaganda source trusted by Trump supporters to prove my point that Crossfire Hurricane was the original code-name for the Russia investigation into Russian interference in the elections and any possible connections to the Trump campaign, not some separate investigation into only the Trump campaign:
No explanation for why most of it was taken out for a few days. I see the Post report saying that Mifsud was not a US asset. "According to the FBI Electronic Communication (EC) documenting the decision, the investigation was opened in response to information CD officials received on July 28, 2016, from a Friendly Foreign Government (FFG) indicating that in a May 2016 meeting with the FFG, George Papadopoulos, an advisor to the Trump campaign, "suggested the Trump team had received some kind of a suggestion" from Russia that it could assist in the election process with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to candidate Clinton and President Obama." Even Fox News says Crossfire Hurricane was the secret code-name for "the Russia investigation", and that it started at the same time as the Russia investigation. If so, it would be good if we could clarify this. He added that he knew "for a fact" that the Trump campaign was not involved in the DNC hack, adding that such involvement would have been illegal. Another FBI CHS named "Source 3", "an individual with a connection to Papadopoulos", was used to interact with Papadopoulos "multiple times between October 2016 and June 2017". After John Durham's report, this article might look silly if it doesn't take a more honest look at this issue. The first meeting, in August 2016, was a consensually recorded meeting with Carter Page.The second meeting, in September 2016, was with "a high-level official in the Trump campaign who was not a subject of the investigation", likely Clovis. ... according to NBC News. Here are some other sources: This has been very disruptive. Papadopoulos: Something like that (Banging sound) I don't think so. It is not mentioned by the report if other sources or undercover agents were involved in these meetings. U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr told Fox News Host Laura Ingraham late last week that there was absolutely no basis for the FBI's initiation of the 'Crossfire Hurricane' investigation into the presidential campaign of Donald Trump prior to his election as President.
Fox Business host Lou Dobbs expects the Republicans to lose control of the Senate in the 2020 election. If Crossfire Hurricane was the only investigation launched by FBI headquarters, who initiated the earlier investigation using informant Stefan Halper? Josh Campbell is a CNN law enforcement analyst and former FBI supervisory special agent. CONCLUSION: "Source 2" met with all three of them; Halper was "Source 2"; the "high-level official" was Sam Clovis, who, as vice chairman of the Trump campaign, was "a high-level official in the Trump campaign who was not a subject of the investigation." "During one of these meetings, Papadopoulos reportedly "suggested" to an FFG official that the Trump campaign "received some kind of a suggestion from Russia" that it could assist the campaign by anonymously releasing derogatory information about presidential candidate Hillary Clinton."
Please find multiple RS which prove me wrong and I'll gladly change my mind. Top FBI lawyer under fire for role in Crossfire Hurricane submits resignation. In that meeting, Papadopoulos told Downer Russia had many emails that could damage Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton. All of that should be copied here, with attribution. I'm not sure I know what you're proposing exactly, "...information from a Friendly Foreign Government (FFG) reporting that, in May 2016, during a meeting with the FFG, then Trump campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos "suggested the Trump team had received some kind of suggestion from Russia that it could assist this process with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to Mrs. Clinton (and President Obama)." So far, the only thing new coming from the revelation of the original code-name is that it was called (Operation) Crossfire Hurricane.
Whether he made the suggestion before had been alleged, and the FBI CHS(s) tried to get him to do it in their meeting with them, but were unable to get him to do it.
The first three requests were signed off by To be sourced, of course. (p. 60) But nobody ever claimed that he was a US asset specificallyThis article takes a liberal bent, as if President Trump were guilty of all he's accused of by the Left. He further stated that he did not think Russia wanted Trump to win the election.
It was unclear whether he or the Russians were referring to material acquired publicly of [sic] through other means." It produced "little information from the high-level official." House investigators don't know. All that information is directly from the IG Report, but your edit summary says There are several parts of the IG Report I could quote from, so let's see if you'll accept this and not call it a SYNTH violation.
In a meeting with Source 3 in late October 2016, Papadopoulos called the allegations that Russia was "playing a big game" in the election "bullshit".
Soibangla, reverting to your version without discussing it here circumvents the normal BRD process.
Any ideas? That's why I believe the IG Report is consistent in asserting that Clovis met only one time with only one CHS, and that one meeting was with Halper. Papadopoulos: Could be the Chinese, could be the Iranians, it could be some Bernie, uh, supporters. A bombshell report from The New York Times Wednesday revealed the nickname used by a select group of officials before the probe into whether the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia went public. No one know's who's hacking— them.
