The “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation started soon after the convenient emergence of one of its “Typhoons”, George Papadopoulos, who was investigated by Mueller for Israel – Mossad connection.
Allegedly, he received about $10,000 as a “retainer” from some mysterious Israeli, assumedly the Mossad operator.
Now we know that James Comey was as usually quite inventive and nice, and provided Papadopoulos with a honey pot or two in his highly loyal hopes to catch a Big Bee, somehow.
The head of the FBI Counterintelligence at that time was Bill Priestap, quite interesting and secretive personality, in his own right.
Other interesting names are late James Kallstrom, and Charles McGonigal, now in prison for seemingly unrelated offenses.
So that’s how the story started.
The story of “Trump-Russia” as the cover for “Trump-Mossad” – 2016, with a sequel in 2024.
The historical and intelligence studies are retrospective by their nature, and thus most informed.
“Intelligence is about predicting the future”, Trump said rather aptly, as quoted by Musk. I would add: On the basis of studying the past and trying to understand it. And as the result of the endless attempts to change the present by the actions of the leading world intelligence services.
