Don’t know enough about him but could he have intended to leave this as a paper trail or smoking gun?

SABINA MENSCHEL
PARTNER, PRESIDENT & CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
Our People/Sabina Menschel

Sabina Menschel is President & Chief Operating Officer of Nardello & Co., and is based in the firm’s Washington, DC office. A graduate of Harvard College and the Harvard Business School, Sabina has over 18 years of experience leading domestic and international due diligence, litigation support, fraud, and global asset recovery investigations on behalf of financial institutions, law firms, and multinationals.

Prior to joining Nardello & Co., Sabina was a Managing Director at an international risk consultancy in New York and then in Washington, DC. She joined that firm at its inception and helped establish its investigative practice. She also played an active role in client engagements, including leading a billion dollar asset recovery investigation of a family-controlled company for a US multinational.

That investigation spanned Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the US and identified numerous businesses and substantial assets. Sabina has led numerous other asset searches against foreign sovereigns, global and domestic corporations, and high-net-worth individuals.

Sabina’s other engagements included managing a due diligence in Asia and the US for an international financial institution seeking to obtain its banking license in the US. For a domestic hedge fund, Sabina helped establish “best practices” for pre-employment investigations of prospective employees and due diligence investigations on trading platform partners.

Sabina began her investigative career as a research analyst at Kroll, rose to Director of Research for the New York office, and then to Global Head of Training for the Business Intelligence and Investigations practice.

After graduating from Harvard Business School, Sabina served as a Special Advisor in the Directorate of Intelligence at the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s headquarters in Washington, DC. In that capacity, she worked with senior management to refine and strengthen the FBI’s intelligence gathering capabilities and implement its intelligence transformation efforts in response to the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission.

Anyone who is listed in the 'coup' on the President,
Should immediately have their security access suspended, pending further investigation.
Anyone who participates in the 'coup' to overthrow the government, and is then found chargeable after the investigation
should have their security clearance immediately permanently revoked.
That includes Comey, Clapper, et all.

Next question: Is anything ‘going to happen’ to this Priestep guy? My guess is no.

People are against vigilante justice - but its still better than no justice at all.

Why stop at security clearances? They tried to overthrow the U.S. government.

One would think that it would require someone with brains to have an intelligent wife whose father is well connected, and be able to discern that what he was doing was WRONG.

This is the stuff that low intelligence people do.

I once thought Priestap was cooperating. Now, I realize he is a DOPE.

There was a RealClearInvestigation report about two years ago that identified Priestap as the FBI guy who flew to London a few times (revealed via text messages of Strozk and Page). Who he met with is speculation but I’m sure AG Barr and President Trump know the details.

Sleepin Joe will never be prosecuted, he’s not mentally fit enough to assist in his own defense. Just saying.

I’m sure most everyone here is familiar with the Spygate charts put together by Conservative Tree House. Charts of all the suspected conspirators and how they are related to each other. CTH began making these charts back when we first learned the names Strzok and Page and McCabe.

Priestap has been a mystery ever since we first heard about these people. Because he is on those charts. His job put him directly between McCabe and Strzok. And yet his name never popped up in any of the texts.

No one ever had anything to say about him other than that he existed. It was like he was invisible, while all of this plotting was swirling right around him. Maybe because he wasn’t one of their team players.

These handwritten notes could fit someone trying to sort out the behavior of his coworkers. Someone with misgivings trying to decide if they were actually doing their job or were up to no good. It might be someone who would be a quiet whistleblower rather than part of the coup.

No doubt in my mind that Sally Yates was in on this from the start.

These people need to pay.

Rep. Doug Collins Releases Testimony of Bill Priestap. April 2, 2019

“Today House Judiciary Committee ranking member Doug Collins releases the transcript of testimony (full pdf below) from former FBI Director of Counterintelligence Bill Priestap. Director Priestap was the immediate supervisor of FBI Agent Peter Strzok. According to earlier reporting of this testimony Mr. Priestap noted how agent Strzok often worked around him in direct communication with FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

“Additionally, Strzok had a working relationship with former CIA Director John Brennan that also worked around Priestap. Brennan used Strzok as an author for the December 29, 2016 Joint Analysis Report on Russian measures; and the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. Both reports were written to enhance the Russian election interference story-line; a critical component needed by a corrupt DOJ and FBI group to build a false narrative that could shield their 2016 election year political surveillance operations.”

Think u r right.
Priestap should have put a stop to this nonsense.
The fact that he didn’t probably means he was told from
higher ups to get it done or else.

I used to think Government was a necessary Evil.

Now I know Government is just Evil.

That is why Strzok wasn’t scared.
He knew his boss was in on it too.

The invisible man. He was the notetaker when PS was questioning Flynn.

“The invisible man. He was the notetaker when PS was questioning Flynn.”

That second FBI agent has been identified before and it isn’t Priestap.

Priestap wasn’t doing fieldwork then anyway. He was an FBI assistant director, at a level between Strzok and McCabe.

Priestap has testified that although Strzok was subordinate to him, Strzok sometimes skipped him and went straight to McCabe. Leading to speculation that Priestap may not have been part of the “small group”.

Keep the pressure on and more of these guys will flip for a plea agreement.
