In this episode, I bring you up to speed on the latest filings in United States v. Comey, particularly regarding the grand jury proceedings that generated the indictment and the issue of Lindsey Halligan’s appointment as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. One judge is examining whether or not privileged material was shared with the grand jury, and another judge is considering the lawfulness of Halligan's appointment. Both issues have the potential to sink the case. In support of their case and the appointment, DOJ has filed new affidavits from two FBI agents and one each from Attorney Halligan and AG Bondi, plus a timeline of the grand jury proceedings.

Next, I walk you through a newly disclosed 2017 email chain about a potential investigation into the Hillary Clinton campaign’s payment for the Steele Dossier. An FBI agent sought to open the probe and requested advice on proceeding from a key figure in the DOJ’s Public Corruption Unit and a chief legal official in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. Both advised against pursuing it. The email chain was provided to Senator Grassley by FBI Director Patel and Attorney General Bondi after Grassley was tipped off by a whistleblower.

Finally, in the show’s final hour, I present a “for your consideration”-style segment. I take you back to 2016 and revisit the early months of Crossfire Hurricane and Russiagate, framing the saga in a fresh—or perhaps evolved—light. While many individual elements have been discussed on the podcast before, I assemble them with a new narrative that I hope elucidates the story of the scandal in a new way.

The DOJ and FBI have given Senator Grassley some 'dasting emails and an internal memo concerning an investigation into the Clinton Campaign/Perkins/Fusion GPS/DNC nexus of corruption and their creation and payment for the Steele Dossier... an investigation that was apparently put on ice thanks to input from the DOJ and the US Attorney's Office for D.C.

The email chain began when a plucky FBI agent for the FBI's Washington D.C. Field Office reached out to the U.S. Attorney's Office for D.C., the DOJ's Public Integrity division, and Treasury's FINCEN for input on the opening of an investigation into the DNC and Clinton Campaign based on an FEC complaint by a government watchdog.

That complaint detailed allegations that "the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign committee violated campaign finance law [when they] failed to accurately disclose the purpose and recipient of payments for the [Steele] dossier of research alleging connections between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia, effectively hiding these payments from public scrutiny, contrary to the requirements of federal law."

The emails "appear to show that Cooney [of USADC] and Pilger [of DOJ-PIN] stopped investigative steps into the matter."

Not completely deterred, the intrepid FBI agent took out an opening EC and attached the complaint, related news reports, and the emails, thus preserving a record for future disclosure.

And now it's public.

Ihor Kolomoisky, one of Ukraine’s wealthiest oligarchs, helped propel Zelenskyy to the presidency.

He assumed Zelenskyy would shield him and his kleptocratic allies as they continued looting the country. For Kolomoisky, it was supposed to be the best of times.

But now, after almost three years in prison, stripped of his Ukrainian citizenship, indicted by both the U.S. and Ukraine, and ordered by a U.K. court to pay $3 billion in damages over the PrivatBank corruption scandal, Ihor is straight up not having a good time.

He’s living through the worst of times—and crying about it as loudly as he can.

Good.
