I thought about Rahm Emmanuel, but he had been elected mayor of Chicago in 2011, and reelected in 2015. He just want in the White Hut to be involved. It's someone else. Same with Kenneth Merten. He's too low and in the State Department. Not enough of a connection besides the initials match. Keep digging.
You've filled in some names I missed. . . Tim Geitner, Kimberly Costa or Katherine Chon. Hillary, John Podesta? , Robert Mueller and the DNC with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and James Comey coordinated with the UK's Prime Minister (David Cameron)/MI6/SIS to conduct Spy Operations with Christopher Steele.
John Podesta, YES! Robert Mueller, hell no! That's Hillary's campaign chair-thing, Robby Mook, look at context. Absolutely Cheryl Mills. . . and this JC is James Clapper!
Not a real-deal law firm.
Perkins Coie IS a BIG DEAL law firm. . . the shell here is the shell game, moving the pea (hide the provenance of the origination of the "story" that became the Russia hoax) around through sleight of hand.
The US public is the "mark" and Perkins Coie, Washington Free Beacon, and FusionGPS/Steele are the shells where the pea might be, as its shuffled around. . . but the pea never existed in reality. It's all illusion!
Yet Perkins Coie is absolutely off the radar as far as most people are concerned. They - like Fenton - seem to be a particularly malignant ingredient in many cauldrons... yet few mention them other than in passing. Are "law firms" immune from scrutiny by some sort of divine right?
Perkins Coie defended every case attacking 0b0la’s lack of b.cert and related cases. Every one, IIRC. And one case in, IIRC, San Diego, at the first hearing the judge said (paraphrasing obviously), ‘Let’s hear the case” and at the next court date changed his mind. He had hired a Perkins Coie assistant. We thought at the time (on FR) that the PC guy had been forced on him with a message he could not ignore. Judge was former Marine and a good guy.
