Strzok interviewed [[Huma Abedin]] on April 5, 2016. Abedin lied to the FBI and was not prosecuted. Strzok reported, "Abedin did not know that Clinton had a private server until about a year and a half ago when it became public knowledge.”<ref>https://dailycaller.com/2017/12/04/clinton-aides-went-unpunished-after-making-false-statements-to-anti-trump-fbi-supervisor/</ref> In fact Abedin and Cheryl Mills were involved in an Aug. 30, 2011 email exchange in the FBI's possession in which [[State Department]] official Stephen Mull mentioned that Clinton’s “email server is down.” In another email exchange on Jan. 9, 2011 Abedin was told that Clinton’s server had been malfunctioning because “someone was trying to hack us.” “Had to shut down the server,” wrote Clinton [[IT]] Specialist Justin Cooper, who told the FBI in his interviews that he discussed Clinton’s server with Abedin in 2009, when it was being set up.

Strzok interviewed [[Cheryl Mills]] on April 9, 2016. Mills was granted immunity, nevertheless Mills lied to Strzok anyway and was not prosecuted. “Mills did not learn Clinton was using a private server until after Clinton’s [Department of State] tenure...Mills stated she was not even sure she knew what a server was at the time," Strzok reported. Mills asked about it in a Feb. 27, 2010 email to Abedin and an aide to [[Bill Clinton]] who helped set up the Clinton Chappaqua server. “Ur funny. We are on the same server,” Cooper replied.

On August 15, 2016 CIA Dir. John Brennan gave an unusual private briefing to Democrat Minority Leader [[Harry Reid]] in which he told Reid the FBI should take the lead in an investigation of the Trump campaign. The FBI is the federal agency in charge of domestic intelligence and, unlike the CIA, can spy on U.S. citizens. Two days after Brennan’s special briefing, Reid sent a letter to Dir. Comey demanding an investigation targeting “individuals tied to Trump” to determine if they coordinated with the Russian government “to influence our election.” Reid alludes to Carter Page and repeated the unproven charge from Hillary Clinton's opposition research dossier that Page met with two [[Kremlin]] officials in Moscow in July 2016 to discuss removing U.S. sanctions on Russia. Carter Page already denied the allegation under oath, swearing he never even met the Russian officials named in Clinton's opposition research dossier.<ref>[https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2018/02/11/former_cia_director_john_brennan_investigated_for_perjury.html]</ref>

Sometime around Thanksgiving 2016 Glenn Simpson of FusionGPS and Dep. Attn. Gen.

On December 5, 2016 Strzok gave a false and misleading briefing to the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into Hillary Clinton's ''Steele dossier''.

When [[CNN]] broke the story of the dossier's sensational allegations co-written by Evan Perez - a friend and former colleague of FusionGPS principal Glenn Simpson, it cleared the way for ''[[BuzzFeed]]'' to publish the entire dossier, and signaled that the intelligence community was implementing the "insurance policy". This completed a circular echo chamber, binding the intelligence community - chartered to steal and keep secrets, to the media - embodying the right to free speech.

Russiagate was no longer part of Hillary Clinton's political campaign directed at Trump, it was now a [[disinformation]] operation aimed at the American public, as the pre-election media coverage resonated more fully with the ''Steele dossier'' in the open. You see, said the [[mainstream media]]: everything we published about Trump and Putin is really true—there’s a document proving it. What the press corps neglected to add is that they’d been reporting the same talking points and innuendo from the same opposition research since before the election, and were now parroting the same “evidence” to prove it was true.

On Tuesday January 10, 2017, CNN stated President-elect Trump was briefed on the ''Clinton-Steele dossier''.  An hour later Buzzfeed published the dossier. The next day, Wednesday January 11, Trump said he was not briefed on the dossier. [[NBC]] confirmed Trump wasn’t briefed. [[Fox News]] confirmed Trump wasn’t briefed. Later that night Wednesday January 11, DNI James Clapper issued a press statement noting that he had just now briefed President-elect Trump on the dossier moments before. Clapper's press release stated, “The [[IC]] has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable," yet Clapper's intelligence community used that same dossier with no other evidence to obtain a FISA warrant for direct surveillance of the Trump campaign three months earlier. The fact the "evidence" originated as a political smear campaign from the Clinton campaign and Democratic party was never told to the FISA court.
