Comey Memos (Part 1)

January 29 Oval Office Meetin On January 29, I went to the Oval Office at the request of the President. He sat behind the desk, and I sat in the middle of a row of empty chairs in front of the desk. We exchanged pleasantries and I told the President that I hoped that we would have a productive working relationship. Jared Kushner left the room by the grandfather clock and we were alone. It was at this moment that the President stood up and leaned over the desk. He looked at me and he appeared scared. He said to me "I don't know what I'm doing". I didn't move, speak or change my facial expression during the awkward silence that followed. He said it again, "I don't know what I'm doing". Confused, I asked the President what he meant by this. “I just say words that come into my head", he said, "They make me give speeches about politics. I don't know what any of it means. I just want to watch TV while sprawled across my bed in my bathrobe". Before I could fully extinguish the mental image from my mind, he told me how he doesn't even know what a “Rence Priebus" is Recognising that it would be inappropriate for an FBI Director to tell the President how to govern, I demurred and told the President that I'll give him his very own police badge next time he visits the J. Edgar Hoover building. This immediately lifted his mood. After the meeting I immediately made notes on a Speak & Spell that was in the Chief of Staff's Office.

Mike Rogers "has a story to tell".

"While a lot of people have focused on James Comey and that's obviously a huge anchor in this," Clemons said at the end of the segment, "watch the Senate Intelligence Committee hearings on Wednesday. National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers may have a bomb to drop in this, as well as Dan Coates. I have been tipped off that Mike Rogers has a story to tell as well that goes right along the lines that our friend David Corn has shared,"

Talks about lifting sanctions started soon after inauguration

The previously unreported efforts by Fried and others to check the Trump administration's policy moves cast new light on the unseen tensions over Russia policy during the early days of the new administration. It also potentially takes on new significance for congressional and Justice Department investigators in light of reports that before the administration took office Trump's son-in law, Jared Kushner, and his chief foreign policy adviser, Michael Flynn, discussed setting up a private channel of communications with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak-talks that appear to have laid the aroundwork for the proposals that began circulating right after the inauguration.

The goal was to lift sanctions in exchange for oil money.

Tom Malinowski, who had just stepped down as President Obama's assistant secretary of state for human rights, told Yahoo News he too joined the effort to lobby Congress after learning from former colleagues that the administration was developing a plan to lift sanctions and possibly arrange a summit between Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin- as part of an effort to achieve a "grand bargain" with Moscow. "It would have been a win-win for Moscow," said Malinowski, who only days before he left office announc rights abuses under a law known as the Magnitsky Act. ed his own round of sanctions against senior Russian officials for human

Propaganda outlets manipulating viewers

From these overt Russian propaganda outlets, a wide range of English-language conspiratorial websites ("gray" outlets), some of which mysteriously operate from Eastern Europe and are curiously led by pro-Russian editors of unknown financing, sensationalize conspiracies and fake news published by white outlets further amplifying their reach in U.S. audiences. American-looking social-media accounts, the hecklers, honeypots, and hackers described above, workinjg alongside automated bots further amplify and disseminate Russian propaganda amongst unwitting Westerners. These covert, "black" operations influence target- audience opinions with regards to Russia and undermine confidence in Western elected leaders, public officials, mainstream-media personalities, academic experts, and democracy itself. On the evening of July 30, my colleagues and I watched as RT and Sputnik News simultaneously launched false stories of the U.S. airbase at Incirlik being overrun by terrorists. Within minutes, pro-Russian social-media aggregators and automated bots amplified this false news story and expanded conspiracies asserting American nuclear missiles at the base would be lost to extremists. More than 4,000 tweets in the first 78 minutes after launching of this false story linked back to the Active Measures accounts we'd tracked in the previous two years. These previously identified accounts, almost simultaneously appearing from different geographic locations and communities, amplified this fake news story in unison. The hashtags incrementally pushed by these automated accounts were #Nuclear, #Media, #Trump and #Benghazi·The most common words found in English-speaking Twitter user profiles were: God, Military, Trump, Family, Country, Conservative, Christian, America, and Constitution. These accounts and their messages clearly sought to convince Americans a U.S. military base was being overrun in a terrorist attack like the 2012 assault on the U.S. consulate in Libya. In reality, a small protest gathered outside the Incirlik gate and the increased security at the airbase sought to secure the arrival of the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff the following day.
