Reliance on cloud-based service company reports “outrageous”
Another key set of documents not yet available to the public is a report produced by CrowdStrike, the Democratic National Committee’s cyber contractor, which the FBI relied on for evidence in its accusations of Russian hacking of the DNC. The FBI, Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the Senate Intelligence Committee all relied on the report for their investigations.
He explained, “The FBI has experts who study the servers and use that information, and the intelligence community is perfectly capable of digesting that information and understanding exactly what happened. Yet the FBI experts did not have access to the full contents of the Democratic All-Committee server. “
Patel said, “For some outrageous reason, the FBI bowed to the Democratic National Committee and refused to hand over the server for analysis, instead allowing the network to be the judge of what could and could not be used, what could and could not be viewed.” Patel found the decision “outrageous and outrageous.
But the truth of the matter has leaked out. Shawn Henry, the executive director of Cloud Counter, is a former top FBI official under Mueller, but he was afraid to lie in his congressional testimony. In testimony before the House Intelligence Committee in December 2017, Henry admitted that Cloud Counter had “no concrete evidence” that Russian Hackers had deleted any data, including private emails, from the Democratic National Committee’s servers. Patel recalled, “We were hoping to declassify Henry’s testimony as soon as we could get it. “
But the House Intelligence Committee’s efforts to declassify the testimony met with “frustration. Patel said, “Initially, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence was obstructive, and then after Democrats took control of Congress in January 2018, the House Intelligence Committee was obstructed by Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA). “
However, Patel, in full cooperation with the then-director of intelligence, finally forced the release of Henry’s transcripts and those of dozens of others in 2020. in May 2020, Henry’s explosive admission of the secret, which had been hidden for nearly three years, dealt a major blow to Cloud Counterattack’s credibility. Yet the full text of the Cloud Counterattack Report still has not been released.
If the Cloud Counterattack Report could be released, Patel said, it would not only support everything Henry himself admitted, but it would raise new questions about why the administration would use a report produced by a contractor hired by the Democratic National Committee.
The CIA‘s inside man in the Kremlin is unreliable
The CIA asserted that Putin personally ordered support for Trump‘s campaign. This assertion relies on another questionable source, a Kremlin insider. This insider has been revealed to be a mid-level Kremlin official, Oleg Smolenkov.
Smolenkov fled Russia for the United States in 2017, and some CIA officials are skeptical of Smolenkov’s “credibility,” according to the New York Times.
Patel said he could not comment on whether he believed Smolenkov had relayed credible information to the CIA.” I’m kind of in a quandary on this, I’ve looked at all the classified information, but there’s information that we’ve asked to declassify that hasn’t been approved, and that’s something I haven’t seen.”
However, Patel also said those who raised suspicions about the CIA’s reliance on Smolenkov were “rightfully” trying to “get to the bottom of it.” But start talking about the secrets involved in Molenkov before the Russia-gate Counterintelligence Community Assessment Report and some other documents finally come to light, and then I’m likely to get knocked on the door by the FBI.”
Will key documents be released?
On the last full day of the Trump presidency, Jan. 19, President Trump ordered the declassification of the remaining documents from the FBI’s initial Russia investigation. A source familiar with the documents included in the declassification order confirmed to Real Clear Investigations that the declassified documents do not contain the Counterintelligence Community Assessment Report, which Patel wanted released, or the Cloud Counter Report, which the FBI relied on.
In addition to these closely guarded documents, Patel believes there is more to learn about Page’s fraudulent surveillance warrant. Patel said the public should read the “entire body” of Page’s eventual FISA warrant, as well as the “underlying source verification reports” that the FBI sought to justify the warrant.
By reading what the FBI used to support the FISA warrant, the American public can see that the FBI relied on complete nonsense.”
Patel added, “The American public needs to learn and read for themselves and determine for themselves why their government allowed this to happen. This is knowingly false. “
“In an investigation involving a presidential election, if they pulled off a botched deal, the American public has a right to know.”
