1/ Yesterday was a very distracting day, so sorry if someone has already threaded this. h/t . @walkafyre
SSCI has removed some redactions from 11 pages of Volume 4. Let’s look at what was unredacted and consider the substance and significance of the timing. 1. page 31, b4/after:

12/ here’s the link to just the new pages: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7008569/Cmte-Sensitive-Russia-investigation.pdf
13/ the unredacted material concerns the origins of Annex A to the ICA, particularly the FBI pushing for its inclusion. Also, there is material on the FBI “accidentally“ in March if 2017 giving SSCI the wrong backup for footnote 222 in the ICA, & how it took 10 months to fix that
14/ possible leak sting on that last one. Or a coverup. Or just a mistake. Theories?
15/ in any event, the origins of Annex A (and the FBI’s role) May be a story that someone is trying to get in front of. Although the IG already reported on most of the unredacted material in that topic.
16/ I have a feeling we’ll hearing more soon about the materials the FBI accidentally gave to SSCI and the letterhead memorandum that they were supposed to provide but didn’t until later. Otherwise why redact that now?
I meant “release,” not “redact”.
End/ and MAYBE we’ll soon see some action either on the origin of Annex A or the leak thereof. Especially if someone lacked candor to investigators on that topic.
