*'''Strzok sends email containing and Lisa Page exchange emails with the subject line “Re: Dragon FISA.” "Still an expedite?” one of the emails asked, as the FBI tried to meet the requirements of a process known as a Woods review before a FISA warrant can be approved by the courts. “Any idea what time he can have it woods-ed by?” Strzok asked Page. “I know it’s not going to matter because DOJ is going to take the time DOJ wants to take. I just don’t want this waiting on us at all.”''' :*Lisa Page testified in 2018, "“I’m not talking about the Woods file. I’m talking about a separate effort that was undertaken in order to try to verify for investigative purposes, not for purposes of the FISA, but a separate effort undertaken to try to validate the allegations contained within the Steele reporting.” Crossfire Hurricane was one of the code names for four separate investigation. The '''subject of the Dragon FISA remains unknown.'''
