I think the name of the game is: Find an unrelated potential or perceived crime on a pertinent witness, and then pursue the latter in order to coerce the witness into revealing information relevant to the Trump-Russian collusion investigation. Flynn (Turkey lobbying & Logan Act)...Manafort (Ukraine)...Cohen (Taxi medallions)...Papadopoulos ($10k Israeli bribe). Plus expand the game to a second level by crafting a scheme to ensnare the witness in a lie while investigating the potential or perceived crime, thereby bringing a definite chargeable offense to bear on the situation, providing more leverage to extract information...or even to coerce the witness into fabricating info (Corsi).

Perhaps Turkey & Erdogan per the above article is where Flynn has been cooperating with Mueller.
But what if -- just humor this for a second. There genuinely was NO collusion, no plotting, no scheme, nothing? In other words, nothing to discover related to the collusion charge. Are they also maneuvering to manufacture a case with false testimony like the Democrats did with Kavanaugh?drcrinum said:I think the name of the game is: Find an unrelated potential or perceived crime on a pertinent witness, and then pursue the latter in order to coerce the witness into revealing information relevant to the Trump-Russian collusion investigation.

That's what Corsi is claiming they tried to do with him.
Do you believe the Russian's actually hacked the DNC server?
Is the Dossier factual?
Did Papadopoulos tell Downer the Russians had dirt on Hillary?
Did Flynn lie to Strzok in January 2017?
Etc.
It's all just a scheme to protect Obama & his Team from the illegal spying they were doing.

Very fake news.

Sources tell me the targeted documents may provide the most damning evidence to date of potential abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), evidence that has been kept from the majority of members of Congress for more than two years.
The email exchanges included then-FBI Director James Comey, key FBI investigators in the Russia probe and lawyers in the DOJ's National Security Division, and they occurred in early to mid-October, before the FBI successfully secured a FISA warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
The email exchanges show the FBI was aware - before it secured the now-infamous warrant - that there were intelligence community concerns about the reliability of the main evidence used to support it: the Christopher Steele dossier.
The exchanges also indicate FBI officials were aware that Steele, the former MI6 British intelligence operative then working as a confidential human source for the bureau, had contacts with news media reporters before the FISA warrant was secured.
The FBI fired Steele on Nov. 1, 2016 - two weeks after securing the warrant - on the grounds that he had unauthorized contacts with the news media.

A grand jury is expected to hear evidence concerning a lobbying effort involving former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn's work for the Turkish government, even as the former Trump aide's role in the special counsel investigation appears to be coming to a close.
The New York Times reports that a grand jury in Virginia will likely hear evidence that Flynn was serving as an unregistered agent of the Turkish government in the U.S. days after the 2016 election.
In 2016, he penned an op-ed for The Hill attacking Fethullah Gulen, a Muslim cleric exiled from Turkey living in Pennsylvania.

Wait.. A.. Minute.. James Comey is scheduled to appear on Friday right? Now ask yourself: why would the people feeding information to Solomon want him to push this story into the media bloodstream ahead of that testimony? Wouldn't earnest investigators prefer to question Comey about these emails without him having time to prepare?.
Think about it.
Or Joe Pientkadrcrinum said:
The latest from Solomon (on Hannity) on the FBI/DOJ email chain discussing the Dossier prior to submission of the Carter Page FISA application. Guess what? Comey was involved.
The Conservative Treehouse already has an interesting observation:

William Barr is leading attorney general candidate in Trump discussions
Former attorney general William P. Barr is President Trump's leading candidate to be nominated to lead the Justice Department -- a choice that could be made in coming days as the agency presses forward with a probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to multiple people familiar with the deliberations.
Barr, 68, a well-respected Republican lawyer who served as attorney general from 1991 to 1993 under President George H.W. Bush, has emerged as a favorite candidate of a number of Trump administration officials, including senior lawyers in the White House Counsel's Office, these people said. Two people familiar with the discussions said the president has told advisers in recent days that he plans to nominate Barr.....
Barr shares at least one of the president's views on the probe being conducted by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. In 2017, when asked by The Washington Post about political donations made by lawyers on the special counsel's team, Barr said "prosecutors who make political contributions are identifying fairly strongly with a political party" and added: "I would have liked to see [Mueller] have more balance on this group."
Barr also wrote last year that the administration's decision to fire James B. Comey as FBI director was "quite understandable" because, in his view, Comey had usurped the power of the attorney general when he publicly announced his recommendation not to charge former secretary of state Hillary Clinton during the investigation of her private email server.
