The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James B. Comey in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017 .... And if we check out Comey's testimony, we discover that the investigation that he confirmed, what we know as Crossfire Hurricane, was a counterintelligence investigation.
We already knew that the Trump campaign had agreed to lift sanctions on Russia in exchange for Russia's release of DNC emails through Wikileaks - a clear quid pro quo! And now it turns out that Page has flown to Moscow to discuss further sanctions concessions in return for "Bi-lateral energy cooperation." It was all part of a "Well developed conspiracy of cooperation" between Trump and the Russian leadership.
I've always maintained that the famous Trump Tower meeting on June 9, 2016, was an early attempt to ensnare the Trump campaign in a quid pro quo deal with Russians in which the Russians would supposedly provide "Dirt" in exchange for sanction relief - i.e., a clear exchange of a thing "Of value" for action on official policy.
My take is that she was hoping to elicit some inquiry from the Trump aides that would show their willingness to discuss a quid pro quo - bribery, a criminal violation.
The first would be that, if Trump can be claimed to have known about the meeting, then the Steele dossier narrative about Carter Page suddenly looks like a mission to sound out the Russians on what Veselnitskaya was talking about - sanctions, and is there a deal we, the Trump team, could make on that?
In combination with Trump's earlier public outright denial, that assertion would be used to create the impression that Trump denied it because of guilty knowledge.
For those of us who try to follow developments in the Russia Hoax, it's easy to get bogged down in the details and lose sight of the big picture: what I call the "Theory of the case." Every investigation needs a guiding theory, even a hoax investigation, and a solid grasp of that overall case theory is a big help in coming to grips with the big picture.
