*David Remnick writes an article in the ''New Yorker'' entitled, ''Trump and Putin: A Love Story.'' Citing the “original reporting” of Franklin Foer’s July 4, 2016 ''Slate'' article, Remnick contends “that one reason for Trump’s attitude has to do with his business ambitions.” As Remnick elaborated, “one of Trump’s foreign-policy advisers," Carter Page, "has longstanding ties to Gazprom, a pillar of Russia’s energy industry.” Remnick also worried about Trump’s lack of support for Ukraine and the fact that Trump “has declared NATO ‘obsolete’ and has suggested that he might do away with Article 5.”<ref>https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/trump-and-putin-a-love-story</ref>

*'''5 August.''' Strzok and Lisa Page engage in a tense conversation which involves an imminent meeting with “agency people” — an apparent reference to the CIA. Strzok suggested that, for the new case, they should conduct Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning meetings “with [REDACTED]” just “like we did with mye” — Mid Year Exam, the Clinton probe. After some back-and-forth over who should be invited to a major meeting about the new case, a meeting was held. In the aftermath Strzok and Lisa Page have this exchange: {{Quotebox|Strzok: And hi. Went well, best we could have expected. Other than [REDACTED] quote: “the White House is running this.” My answer, “well, maybe for you they are.” And of course, I was planning on telling this guy, thanks for coming, we’ve got an hour, but with Bill [Priestap] there, I’ve got no control….<br>Lia Page: Yeah, whatever (re the WH comment). We’ve got the emails that say otherwise.}}
