In a major development, Judicial Watch forced the declassification and release of an FBI memo or “electronic communication” (EC) that officially launched the counterintelligence investigation, termed “Crossfire Hurricane,” of President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

We obtained the document that disgraced FBI official Peter Strzok wrote in our FOIA suit against the FBI and DOJ for: “The Electronic Communication that initiated the counterintelligence investigation of President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.” (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:19-cv-02743)).

The redacted document details seemingly third hand information that the Russian government “had been seeking prominent members of the Donald Trump campaign in which to engage to prepare for potential post-election relations should Trump be elected U.S. President.” The document also alleges Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos claimed to an unnamed party that “they (the Russians) could assist the Trump campaign with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to Hillary Clinton.”

The document notes, “It was unclear whether he [Papadopoulos] or the Russians were referring to material acquired publicly of [sic] through other means. It was unclear how Mr. Trump’s team reacted to the offer. We note the Trump team’s reaction could, in the end, have little bearing of what Russia decides to do, with or without Mr. Trump’s cooperation.”

The document is dated July 31, 2016. Here is the text of the “electronic communication”:

(U/ /) Legat [Redacted] information from [Redacted] Deputy Chief of Mission

Synopsis:
(U/ /) Legat [Redacted] received information from the [Redacted] Deputy Chief of Mission related to the hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s website/server.

Details:
(S/ /[Redacted] On Wednesday, July 27, 2016, Legal Attaché (Legat) [Redacted] was summoned to the Office of the Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) for the [Redacted] who will be leaving [Redacted] post Saturday July 30, 2016 and set to soon thereafter retire from government service, advised [Redacted] was called by [Redacted] about an urgent matter requiring an in person meeting with the U.S. Ambassador. [Note: [Redacted]. The [Redacted] was scheduled to be away from post until mid-August, therefore [Redacted] attended the meeting.

(S/ [Redacted]) [Redacted] advised that [Redacted] government had been seeking prominent members of the Donald Trump campaign in which to engage to prepare for potential post-election relations should Trump be elected U.S. President. One of the people identified was George Papadopolous (although public media sources provide a spelling of Papadopoulos), who was believed to be one of Donald Trump’s foreign policy advisers. Mr. Papdopoulos was located in [Redacted] so the [Redacted] met with him on several occasions, with [Redacted] attending at least one of the meetings.

(S/ [Redacted]) [Redacted] recalled [Redacted] of the meetings between Mr. Papdopolous and [Redacted] concerning statements Mr. Papadopolous made about suggestions from the Russians that they (the Russians) could assist the Trump campaign with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to Hillary Clinton. [Redacted] provided a copy of the reporting that was provided to [Redacted] from [Redacted] to Legal [Redacted]. The text is exactly as follows:

(Begin Text)

(S/ [Redacted]) 5. Mr. Papadopolous [Redacted] also suggested the Trump team had received some kind of suggestion from Russia that it could assist this process with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to Mrs. Clinton (and President Obama). It was unclear whether he or the Russians were referring to material acquired publicly of through other means. It was also unclear how Mr. Trump’s team reacted to the offer. We note the Trump team’s reaction could, in the end, have little bearing of what Russia decides to do, with or without Mr. Trump’s cooperation.
(End Text)

(s/ [Redacted]
[Redacted]
(s/ [Redacted] Legat requests that further action on this information should consider the sensitivity that this information was provided through informal diplomatic channels from [Redacted] to the U.S. Embassy’s DCM. It was clear from the conversation Legal [Redacted]
had with DCM that [Redacted] knew follow-up by the U.S. government would be necessary, but extraordinary efforts should be made to protect the source of this information until such a time that a request from our organization can be made to [Redacted] to obtain this information through formal channels.

END EMAIL

(S/ / ) Based on the information provided by Legat [Redacted] this investigation is being opened to determine whether individual(s) associated with the Trump campaign are witting of and/or coordinating activities with the Government of Russia.

And so the document ends.

No wonder the DOJ and FBI resisted the public release of this infamous “electronic communication” that “opened” Crossfire Hurricane – it shows there was no serious basis for the Obama administration to launch an unprecedented spy operation on the Trump campaign. We now have more proof that Crossfire Hurricane was a scam, based on absurd gossip and innuendo. This document is Exhibit A to Obamagate, the worst corruption scandal in American history. This document shows how Attorney General Barr and U.S. Attorney Durham are right to question the predicate of this spy operation.

    • explain more of what they call the " O" the Bathhouse Barry.

    • Because he was a habutie of some of Chicago's finer bathhouses! I am too much of a gentleman to explain it. Besides I am terrified that my late mother's ghost will come back and wash my mouth with soap for my impure thought. That is correct I am still terrified of mother even though she has gone on to a much better place than this vale of tears.

    •  

      #1....HE'S KNOWN FOR FREQUENTING THE 'GAY' BATH HOUSES , ON CLARK STREET, IN CHICAGO.....

      #2....HE'S KNOWN TO HAVE SEVERAL GAY LOVERS WHILE IN SCHOOL AND IN POLITICS, HOWEVER SEVERAL OF THEM HAVE MYSTERIOUSLY ENDED UP 'DEAD'....

    • I heard about it too.

  • Yeah, really. How long do we keep believing the baloney about this?  It has been YEARS!! And we're not talking about a misdemeanor here.  Even Judicial Watch continues to maneuver and tirelessly serve papers and file documents and make legal demands, etc.  I've donated to their efforts, but all i hear is endless "we're almost there now".  I do not believe it anymore. It just ain't gonna happen. The most we're apt to see is some poor schmuck, maybe a couple of schmucks, put behind bars to placate us. Meanwhile, the true criminals will be sunning themselves aboard yachts in the Mediterranean laughing about the whole thing. We need to not let that happen. 

    • YEAH, IT ALL STARTED, WAY BACK, WHEN THE LYING, ROTTEN, KENYAN HALF-BREED WAS VOTED INTO OFFICE BY A BUNCH OF IGNORANT, BRAIN-WASHED AMERICANS!!  REMEMBER, WHEN HE STATED, HOW HE WAS GOING TO "TRANSFORM AMERICA""!?? 

    • Hey! Joe sory to give you the bad news and that is Obama did it he litrally transform America, America is no longer America anymore.

    • HEY JEFF , "SORRY" IS SPELLED WITH 2 R'S!  REGARDING  THE HALF-BREED PIG, HE VERY "NEARLY TRANSFORMED OUR COUNTRY"!!  THANK GOD WE HAVE A PRESIDENT, THOUGH RUDE AND NASTY AT TIMES, WILL UNDO ALL THE SHIT CAUSED BY THE KENYAN!!   

    • THOUGH RUDE AND NASTY AT TIMES?   Yeah....you clearly would know about that commenting on someone's spelling.  So what?  Or did you consider he has keys that stick?  Or that maybe he has arthritis in his hands and can't always make his hands/fingers do the things he'd like them to do?   Frankly, that kind of comment makes me think you're no different than the dem/liberal/snowflake THUGS....   Stop attacking your fellow-patriots on something so petty.

    • Hey! Karl don't give up something is about to break.
