Catherine Herridge Uploads, Then Deletes, Exclusive Release From FBI (Kash) Showing FBI Docs “Flynn Timeline”

Something odd is going on with this.  Catherine Herridge reports that she “exclusively” gained a copy of the FBI files on Michael Flynn from FBI Director Kash Patel [SEE HERE].  Herridge uploaded the documents while she began reporting on them via Twitter [SEE HERE] then, mysteriously deleted her upload [SEE HERE].

Fortunately, I kept the tab open, because there are two pages that really caught my eye.  The pages are labeled the “Flynn Timeline” and were created by someone in the FBI.   Check these pages closely, and you can find things quite remarkable.

First, I have always suspected the greatest likelihood of who leaked the transcript of then National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s December ’16 phone call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Kislyak to David Ignatius at the Washington Post was Mary McCord.   Well, check out January 6, 2017:

01/06/17: “McCabe provides McCord [REDACTED]” Likely, almost certainly, the thing being discussed with DNI Clapper on 01/03/17.  That would be the “Flynn Cuts,” which is the transcript of the phone call between Flynn and Kislyak.

The next entry is:

01/13/07: “Ignatius editorial” – Washington Post, David Ignatius – the reporter who received the leak of the Flynn transcript.  A massive national security breach.  The leaking of TSCI classified information, the Flynn transcript.

McCabe gives the transcript to McCord.  Suddenly, Ignatius writes about the transcript. The Washington Post’s David Ignatius was the first to report on the Flynn/Kislyak call on January 12, 2017.

Stuff about Clapper calling Comey then going to the FBI I previously wrote about.  Obama asked Clapper who was leaking all this stuff to the media. 01/03/17 Clapper calls Comey and asks him about the Flynn call.  “Director describes” transcript to Clapper.  01/03/17, Clapper goes to FBI to retrieve transcript, which he then takes back to Obama.

The next page is even more interesting.

After the FBI interview with Flynn, 1/24/17, Sally Yates and Mary McCord go to the White House to discuss the Flynn/Kislyak call with White House Counsel Don McGhan (WHC).

Then on 01/30/17: “Play Flynn [REDACTED] for DOJ.”  Is that redaction a recording?

“Play Flynn [cuts] or [tape] for DOJ”?

There’s a recording of Flynn?

I’m not sure why Catherine Herridge deleted her original upload, other than she wants to play up the exclusive aspect similar to John Solomon.

Apparently, FBI Director Kash Patel is feeding his outlets (Solomon and Herridge).

Maybe her bosses got to her again.

The topic of the 12/30/16 meeting seems kind of important to understanding the timeline.

Maybe Mark Sundance Bradford will hold the printout to his forehead and divine the content of the redacted line.

I wish there were six of him.

I’m not against leaking things that should NEVER have to be leaked in the first place.

Criminals have a right to fair trial.

Traitors don’t.

They needed to be outed immediately.

I’ll patiently wait for the boiled down conclusions.

"They needed to be outed immediately."

I would for something a little more decisive and immediate.

December 29, 2016 : () Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Russia on 29 December 2016

December 30, 2017 : (Putin response to Obama’s expulsions of Russian officials is surprisingly mild) Putin’s muted response — which took White House officials by surprise — raised some officials’ suspicions that Moscow may have been promised a reprieve, and triggered a search by U.S. spy agencies for clues.

“Something happened in those 24 hours” between Obama’s announcement and Putin’s response, a former senior U.S. official said. Officials began poring over intelligence reports, intercepted communications and diplomatic cables, and saw evidence that Flynn and Kislyak had communicated by text and telephone around the time of the announcement.

Note the paragraph after the emphasized passage. It became James Comey’s talking point for years afterward, a sort of all-purpose aperture to both past and future, explaining whatever surreptitious means were being used to snoop on the Trump team, as well as becoming the de facto plot device on which to justify filleting Flynn and grilling him to a crisp.

Yet between 29 December 2016 and 20 January 2017, the Obama administration itself didn’t emphasize surprise about Putin’s decision on the expulsions. The media propounded a small flurry of surprise noises on 30 December, when Putin’s decision was announced. But the Obama administration had little to say – until suddenly, five weeks later, its former officials started telling the media of their alarms and suspicions on that head....—— The Lid

December 25 or 26, 2017 : (Senate Democrats travel to attend retreat) The motorcade was part of a trip by U.S. Senate Democrats to Shepherdstown, West Virginia, where they gathered Wednesday for a retreat. Authorities did not say who was in the vehicles in the motorcade that was connected to the crash

It's interesting that the Oval Office meeting mentioned on the first Draft sheet dated January 4, 2017, isn't the same date as the Oval Office meeting cited in Susan Rice's email to herself where she claims they met on January 5th. Denis McDonough is mentioned on the draft form as having been at the January 4th meeting, but he isn't cited as being at the January 5th meeting. This leads me to believe there were two meetings, but only one, the meeting on the 4th is shown on the FBI Draft. The meeting of the 5th is MIA. Comey was also at the January 5th meeting, and he should have noted that on this form.

Email from Susan Rice to herself dated 1/20/17

"Attendees of the January 5th meeting included then-President Barack Obama; Comey; Sally Yates, who was the acting attorney general; Vice President Joe Biden; and Rice, who was Flynn’s predecessor in the job."

PJ Media reports that CIA Director John Brennan, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper also attended the January 5th meeting.

Here's the link to the original Politico article in which the link to Susan Rice's email to herself in provided:

[mass55th]

Thanks for the link. See my post at #15, where I cite a discrepancy in the Oval Office meeting cited on the FBI draft form that took place on January 4th, 2017. Did somebody lie about the dates, or were there two different meetings on two different days at the Oval Office?

Damn! If we could only bring all those responsible to the justice they deserve.
