"As you read the following remember that Kash assured the Senate Judiciary Committee - including in this exchange with Mazie Hirono - that he would not "go[] backwards" to investigate Jim Comey. Senator Hirono ( 02:18:49): Do you plan to investigate James Comey, who's on your list? Kash Patel ( 02:18:54): I have no intentions of going backwards- Except it appears that Kash did precisely that."
"As I mentioned here, ABC reported that the lie charged in the Jim Comey indictment pertains to whether he authorized Dan Richman to share information anonymously, not whether he authorized Andrew McCabe to do so. Sources told ABC News that "PERSON 1" is Clinton and "PERSON 3" is Richman, a longtime law professor who - as ABC News previously reported - met with federal prosecutors last week after being subpoenaed in the matter."
"The indictment appears to accuse Comey of authorizing Dan Richman to serve as a source for this article on the Hillary and Trump investigations, especially this passage about the SVR document purporting to report that Loretta Lynch had told Amanda Renteria she would intervene to protect Hillary (the charge the grand jury rejected was also focused on these SVR documents, which I explained here)."
"During Russia's hacking campaign against the United States, intelligence agencies could peer, at times, into Russian networks and see what had been taken. Early last year, F.B.I. agents received a batch of hacked documents, and one caught their attention. The document, which has been described as both a memo and an email, was written by a Democratic operative who expressed confidence that Ms. Lynch would keep the Clinton investigation from going too far, according to several former"
ABC reported the lie charged in the Jim Comey indictment concerns whether Comey authorized Dan Richman to share information anonymously rather than whether he authorized Andrew McCabe. Sources identified "PERSON 1" as Hillary Clinton and "PERSON 3" as Dan Richman, who met with prosecutors after a subpoena. The indictment appears to accuse Comey of authorizing Richman as a source for material about the Clinton and Trump investigations, including an SVR document alleging Loretta Lynch told Amanda Renteria she would intervene to protect Clinton. FBI agents flagged a memo or email expressing confidence Lynch would limit the Clinton investigation. A grand jury rejected a related SVR charge.
