Transcripts of two closed-door testimonies by Lisa Page, the former assistant general counsel at the FBI, have provided new insights into the actions of the FBI, DOJ, and othersincluding CIA Director John Brennanregarding their investigation into Donald Trump.
Included in the transcripts provided to us is information suggesting Brennan was aware of the so-called Steele dossier in early August 2016, and that he included information regarding the dossier in a briefing given to then-Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
Other key points in Pages testimony before Congress:
The FBI appears to have considered investigating President Trump for obstruction of justice both before and after FBI Director James Comey was fired.
Page says the DOJ refused to pursue gross-negligence charges against Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server to send classified information.
FBI agent Michael Gaeta, head of the Eurasian Crime Squad, who received the dossier from former MI6 spy Steele in July 2016 is referred to in the transcript as Steeles handler.
The FBI maintained a previously unknown verification file for the Steele dossier. Congressional investigators did not previously know of its existence.
John Carlin, the head of the DOJs National Security Division, was kept abreast of the FBIs investigative activities through contact with then-Deputy FBI Director McCabe.
Page worked directly for DOJ official Bruce Ohr for at least five years and had met his wife, Nellie, once. The role of FBI Agent Jonathan Moffa and DOJ official George Toscas may have been greater than initially assumed.
The interviews with Page were conducted by Congressional lawmakers on July 13 and 16, 2018, in an unclassified setting, with the appropriate agency counsel present to ensure that classified information did not enter into the unclassified setting.

The Maltese Phantom of Russiagate
Real Clear Investigations ^ | May 30, 2018 | Lee Smith
In the shifting narratives of the Trump-Russia probe, a Maltese academic named Joseph Mifsud has remained a linchpin regarding claims of collusion. He is the professor who allegedly told Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos that the Russians had emails related to the Clinton campaign. The FBI says it opened its investigation in late July 2016 after Papadopoulos relayed that information to Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, and the Australians tipped off U.S. authorities. While some news accounts describe Mifsud as an accomplice to Russian clandestine operations or a cut-out (intermediary), others contend he is a full-fledged Russian spy. In an official...
The weasel Rosenstein wrote a letter recommending that Comey be fired. Trump acted on the letter and fired Comey. Rosenstein then appointed a special counsel to investigate after Comey leaked classified information to a friend of the papers which of course printed it.
Comey and Rosenstein set this plot up together in my opinion.
Good info.
Heavy read
Thx for link
Anytime the FBI wants to question you, just say youre a Democrat and walk away.
Four new characters emerge: Jonathan Moffa, George Toscas, Michael Gaeta, and Mike Kortan. Conservative Treehouse should have a field-day.

They put their energy into coming up with a way to clear Hillary and all her people. Simple as that.
Remember the Texts, when they asked one of the agents how the questioning of Hillarys IT aide went, he responded, LIED HIS ASS OFF
But, as always, No charges.
Look at the Podestas. Look at David Kendall. All laws were ignored.

The New House will not ask them to testify, but can the Senate?
