Alfa Claims and Mueller
As the dust begins to settle on the Sussmann trial, we’ve begun sifting through the many trial exhibits. What became clear throughout the trial was the immense effort that the conspirators took to feed their fake alfa server allegations to the FBI, employing numerous CHS’s and tasking media to inquire of key figures to add pressure.
We have previously noted that Joffe took his claims to the CIA in February 2017, a seemingly desperate move after the FBI closed the Alfa investigation.
Previous filings also indicated the fake Alfa server allegations may have been fed to members of Congress.
Today I am asking whether the claims were also later pushed to Mueller.
We know David Dagon and Manos Antonakakis provided work product to Mueller on the DNC hack. It remains inexplicable, with Dagon being outed as the author of the Alfa server white paper, that he would then be allowed to contribute to any investigations.
This sets up the potential that Dagon and Antonakakis were also in a position to directly push the Alfa server claims to Mueller team officials. We have observed the weaponization of the media to push their fabrications. This calls to mind the 2018 New Yorker article in which the researchers offer much more access and interviews to Filkins.
In the article, we hear directly from Rodney Joffe, which implies someone reached out to Filkins to arrange the interview.
We also learn of Mikey Dickerson, Matt Weaver and their role in the Fusion GPS-tied Daniel Jones investigation. More on that coming soon.
There are a couple references to the Mueller investigation in the article, and it ends with this plea from Joffe:
Did they take another shot at feeding their fake server allegations to Mueller?
A recent comment on Marcy Wheeler’s blog from L. Jean Camp appears to indicate that they had high hopes he would take a look at something they knew the FBI had already debunked and closed. Is this an indication that they did feed the information to him for another try?
When do we get to see the emails from the Mueller team?
