Not buying Lee Smith’s theory. I think “Crossfire Hurricane”, besides being the only redeeming thing about this whole sordid episode, refers to the Stone’s song, without any Whoopie film. Extremely serious possibilities:
1. British: Operation was in Britain to evade US limits on domestic spying on American citizens, using CIA contacts. MI6; GCHQ; Halper; Mifsud; Steele; others.
2. Crossfire: Targets were trapped in a crossfire of coordinated operations. Agents provocateur retailed fake narratives about Clinton emails to “Trump”-related targets; other agents tried to get targets to echo these fake narratives; FISA surveillance was in place to catch targets if they mentioned the fake narrative in communications; foreign diplomats were enlisted to “report” on ginned up (literally) conversations. All this so they could claim to have redundant sources.
3. Hurricane: They were raining down on the targets and flooding the media with leaks.
4. “Raised by a Toothless, Bearded Hag”: We know who put them up to the whole thing.
Trump used the song at his events.
“British: Operation was in Britain to evade US limits on domestic spying on American citizens, using CIA contacts. “
That’s literally the entire purpose of the 5 eyes.
