“Mr. Deripaska would not agree to a second meeting. But one took place the next year, in September 2016, when F.B.I. agents showed up unannounced at his door in New York. By then, they were already investigating possible ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, and they pressed Mr. Deripaska about whether his former business partner, Mr. Manafort, had served as a link to the Kremlin during his time as Mr. Trump’s campaign chairman.“

Lisa Page texts Peter Strzok:
“potus wants to know everything we’re doing” (probably in reference to his preparation for the G20 2016 summit in China where Putin would be present.) According to Andrew McCarthy, this is NOT the ‘Gotcha’ quote that many think it is.
UPDATE January 23rd, 2020:
Considering the IG report (Dec 09/2019) “Potus wants to know” does indeed appear to be what we thought. The following must be read very, very carefully. Emphasis added, and explanations in [ ]
McCabe’s notes from a morning meeting with Comey and others in late July 2016 reflect that McCabe learned from Comey during the meeting that another U.S. government agency [CIA, Brennan] had briefed President Obama on intelligence that agency had suggesting that a RIS [Russia Intelligence Service] was engaged in covert actions to influence the U.S. presidential election in favor of Trump. McCabe told us he did not attend this White House briefing; however, based on his notes, he said he did not believe the FFG information would have been discussed during this meeting, and our review of his notes did not indicate otherwise. According to McCabe’s notes of what he had been told by Comey, President Obama stated that the FBI should think about doing “defensive briefs.” The notes do not provide any further details about what Obama said regarding defensive briefings, and McCabe told us he did not recall that any further details were provided to him. However, McCabe said he surmised from his notes that the briefings under discussion were to be given to the Trump campaign. As more fully described in Chapter Ten, the FBI participated in ODNI [Office of the Director of National Intelligence] strategic intelligence briefings that were provided to members of both the Trump campaign and the Clinton campaign, including the candidates, in August and September 2016. However, those were not defensive briefings and did not address the allegations contained in the FFG information.
When we asked Comey about meetings with the White House concerning Crossfire Hurricane, he said that although he did not brief the White House about the investigation, he did mention to President Obama and others at a meeting in the Situation Room that the FBI was trying to determine whether any U.S. person had worked with the Russians in their efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. election.194 Comey said he thought it was important that the President know the nature of the FBI’s efforts without providing any specifics. Comey said although he did not recall exactly what he said, he may have said there were four individuals with “some association or connection to the Trump campaign.” Comey stated that after he provided this information, no one at the meeting responded or followed up with any questions. Comey did not recall specifically when this meeting took place, but believed it may have been in August 2016. We were unable to determine whether this meeting was part of the same meeting reflected in McCabe’s notes discussed above.

Obama in China, Post G20 2016 Presser
Michelle Kosinski asks
Question: Thank you. Same subject, I guess, of colorful guys. What can you tell us about this hour-and-a-half-long meeting you had with President Putin — the tone of it, any progress that was made? And do you agree with him that the relationship between our two countries is now frozen?
On the cyber front, Senator Reid recently cited intelligence briefings when he was expressing his suspicions that Russia is trying to meddle in the election and may even have direct ties to one of the campaigns. What can you tell us? Do you think Russia is trying to influence the U.S. election through hacking?
Obama:
…. And finally, we did talk about cybersecurity, generally. I’m not going to comment on specific investigations that are still live and active. But I will tell you that we’ve had problems with cyber intrusions from Russia in the past, from other countries in the past.

September 2nd, Stefan Halper emails George Papadopoulos inviting him to fly to London to write a paper, offering him $3,000 and a stay at a five star hotel. He arrives on the 15th, and meets with, ‘assistant’ Azura Turk who asks him about Russia over drinks. On one of his last meetings, Halper repeatedly asked Papadopoulos leading questions, trying to get him to make self incriminating statements regarding the hacking of the DNC’s computers by Russian operatives. The hacking of the computers is public knowledge, by this time. Papadopoulos angrily denied it, saying that would be an act of treason. Halper grew frustrated, according to sources. Papadopoulos’ book confirms that he was angry and sweating.
May 2nd, 2019 a leak to the New York Times acknowledged that the U.S. Government had sent “Azura Turk” as an ‘informant’ to try to ‘get near’ (seduce) George Papadopoulos. Papadopoulos had already said in this in his book, in interviews, and in sworn testimony. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/02/us/politics/fbi-government-investigator-trump.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

Michael Sussman provides “White papers” and data files to FBI General Counsel James Baker, alleging that Trump and a Russian bank have established a secret communications ‘back channel’. He bills the time to to the Clinton Campaign, but states that he is presenting evidence as a concerned private citizen. He said that the data researchers approached him with the information, whereas, records show he in fact tasked the researchers himself. see Indictment 09/16/21

Michael Isikoff publishes “U.S. Intel Officials Probe Ties between Trump Adviser and Kremlin,” which stands as a “fingerprint on a hot bullet casing, irrefutable proof placing the FBI at the scene of the crime.” according to Michael Doran.
“Whether these were indeed the correct identities, it is obvious where Isikoff found his sources: on Glenn Simpson’s Rolodex.”
“Here was a story processed and canned in Fusion GPS’s information factory.“All Isikoff had to do was add water and shake.
“His sources were all part of a single network conspiring to hoodwink the public.

Report: Intelligence officials probing Trump adviser’s ties to Russia
by Harper Neidig
Top Democrats in the House have similarly asked the FBI to investigate whether any Trump aides played a hand in the widespread hack of Democratic groups, largely attributed to Russia.
One congressional source told Yahoo that U.S. officials said the reports were being “actively monitored and investigated.”
‘In a statement, Hillary Clinton spokesman Glen Caplin said the report [what report? the dossier?] was “chilling.”
“We’ve never seen anything like this in American politics. Every day seems to cast new doubts on what’s truly driving Donald Trump’s decision-making: the interests of the American people or his own bottom line,” the statement read. “He needs to immediately disclose the full extent of his business relationships and foreign assets so the voters can make that determination for themselves.”

Radio interview: President Obama: “The notion somehow that well, I’m not as inspired because Barack and Michelle are not on the ballot this time, maybe we’ve got to take it easy –- my legacy is on the ballot!”
…… Obama said Trump is “not somebody I want in the Oval Office that my daughters are listening to, and that sons are listening to, and so across the board, you’ve got somebody who appears to only care about himself.”

September 29th, 2016
“We found that, by no later than September 29, FBI executives and the FBI Midyear team had learned virtually every fact that was cited by the FBI in late October as justification for obtaining the search warrant for the Weiner laptop, including that the laptop contained:
• Over 340,000 emails, some of which were from domains associated with Clinton, including state.gov, clintonfoundation.org, clintonemail.com, and hillaryclinton.com;
• Numerous emails between Clinton and Abedin;
• An unknown number of Blackberry communications on the laptop, including one or more messages between Clinton and Abedin, indicating the possibility that the laptop contained communications from the early months of Clinton’s tenure; and
• Emails dated beginning in 2007 and covering the entire period of Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State.
