The New York Times’ 4,000-word report last week on the Federal Bureau of Investigation probe of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign’s possible ties to Russia revealed for the first time that the investigation was called “Crossfire Hurricane.”
snip
The answer may be found in the 1986 Penny Marshall film named after the song, “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” In the Cold War-era comedy, a quirky bank officer played by Whoopi Goldberg comes to the aid of Jonathan Pryce, who plays a British spy being chased by the KGB.
The code name “Crossfire Hurricane” is therefore most likely a reference to the former British spy whose allegedly Russian-sourced reports on the Trump team’s alleged ties to Russia were used as evidence to secure a Foreign Intelligence Service Act secret warrant on Trump adviser Carter Page in October 2016: ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele.

In December, The New York Times published a “scoop” on the new origin story. In the revised narrative, the probe didn’t start with the Steele dossier at all. Rather, it began with an April 2016 meeting between Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and a Maltese professor named Joseph Mifsud. The professor informed him that “he had just learned from high-level Russian officials in Moscow that the Russians had ‘dirt’ on Mrs. Clinton in the form of ‘thousands of emails.’”

The code name “Crossfire Hurricane” is further evidence that the FBI’s cover story is absurd. A reference to a movie about a British spy evading Russian spies behind enemy lines suggests the Steele dossier was always the core of the bureau’s investigation into the Trump campaign.

Not hard to imagine how the Steele dossier all went down.
Professor Mifsud: "I just learned from Hillar-- er, I mean high-level Russian officials in Moscow that Donald Trump hired prostitutes to pee on a bed Barack Obama slept in."
Christopher Steele: "You don't say!"
Professor Mifsud: "I do say. Moreover, I just learned from high-level Russian officials in Moscow that Trump's lawyer Michael Steele traveled to Prague in the Czech Republic in order to meet with Russian agents where they jointly paid the hackers who stole the DNC emails."
Steele: "Wait, slow down, I need to write all this down!"
Professor Mifsud: "Take your time, my boy. I also just learned from high-level Russian officials in Moscow that mastermind Carter Page has negotiated a deal in which he and Trump will make a huge fortune in exchange for dropping sanctions against Russia."
Steele: "Shocking! I'm getting this down..."
Professor Mifsud: "Please do. Oh, and I just learned from high-level Russian officials in Moscow that Donald Trump often travels to St. Petersburg where he likes to use Russian prostitutes but he is so careful about it that it's not worthing checking, because he leaves no evidence of it."
Steele: "What a sleazebag! I better get the word out to all the media and to the FBI!"
Professor Mifsud: "You do that, Chris. And one more thing. I just learned from high-level Russian officials in Moscow that Russian Intelligence has been carefully documenting a kompromat file on Hillary Clinton's misdeeds ever since her husband ran for president. As it turns out, the only misdeed she ever did was having a public and a private position on a policy issue. So if you hear of a secret tape of Hillary speaking to bankers and saying something different than her campaign positions, just know that is probably Russian disinformation."
Steele: "Wow, great info, Professor!"
I’m sure it came from a random codename generator that only uses cool words like “Crossfire” and “Hurricane.” I want my operation to be called “Silver Bullet Hotrod.”
Aren’t code names assigned randomly?
Comey undermined the FBI.
Dirty bastard cop outed the deep state jerking his matter.

Jumpin’ Jack Flash
The Rolling Stones
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at the morning driving rain
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas
But it’s all right. I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash
It’s a gas, gas, gas
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas
But it’s all right, I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash
It’s a gas, gas, gas
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled , yeah yeah
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right through my head
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas
But it’s all right, I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash
It’s a gas, gas, gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas

I don't know about that.
One of my faves was the NJ State Police investigation of prostitution at a Dunkin' Donuts shop.
They called it "Operation Extra Sugar".
I liked Honky Tonk Woman much better ... just sayin’ ...
“And I howled at the morning driving rain”
I always thought he was saying “at the moaning, driving rain”
“howled at the moon and driving rain” would at least make a little sense
Since hearing the term “crossfire hurricane” it has been my thought that they picked this name because Trump was using the rolling stone song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” at all of his rallies. I think they chose crossfire hurricane to be smart a$$#$.
That's a beautiful double entendre.
Richards and Jagger must have really been on some primo LSD when they came up with those lyrics.

The Rolling Stones Lyrics
“Jumping Jack Flash”
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it’s all right now, in fact it’s a gas
But it’s all right
I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas, gas, gas
From Genius Lyrics:
(Instrumental Intro)
One two!
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at the maw in the drivin’ rain
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas
But it’s all right, I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash
It’s a gas, gas, gas
From Lyrics Freak:
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas!
But it’s all right. I’m jumpin jack flash,
Its a gas! Gas! Gas!
From Metro Lyrics:
One, two!
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the drivin’ rain
But it’s all right now, in fact it’s a gas
But it’s all right, I’m jumpin’ jack flash
It’s a gas, gas, gas
As you can see, there is no consensus. Perhaps We should ask Mick...................
Nitrous Oxide...............It’s a gas.....................
I looked up Gimme Shelter once and it turned out the actual lyrics had very little in common with what I thought he was saying
Which is the way of most Rolling Stones’ songs....................
