Feinstein: What should change about the use of confidential human sources?
Horowitz: line supervisors should not be able to approve use of a CHS (and that did not happen during Crossfire Hurricane, but the rules should be strengthened), it should only be approved by higher ups

Feinstein: What are the dangers of discussing an ongoing investigation?
Horowitz: Don't do a Comey. Also definitely, definitely don't do a Barr or a Durham.

Feinstein: So Lisa Page played no role in opening Crossfire Hurricane? And Strzok was only one of several people who decided to open it, in a unanimous decision? And there was no evidence of political bias or improper influence, right? So the texts don't fuckin matter?
Horowitz: That's correct. Aint nobody care about the texts. They were really bad, but they did not impact anything.

You know what's interesting?
The whole investigation basically started bc of a tip from the Australians.
But nobody has ever, to my knowledge, tried to say Australia interfered in our election.
OTOH, the fact that CrowdStrike is owned by a Ukranian who isn't even Ukranian is somehow grounds to accuse Ukraine of interfering in our election.

Grassley: Tell me why the defensive briefings were different!!!
Horowitz: They weren't. The only difference was that there was a 302 from Trumps bc he's a crimey crime guy

Horowitz: documenting a 302 from Trump's briefing wasn't against the rules, it's just squicky. So Director Wray is reevaluating and modifying those policies.

Leahy: Who was leaking to Rudy?
Horowitz: that was some crazy shit. We've found some people who violated FBI policy, and we have ongoing investigations. We can prove contacts, but we can't really prove the content of those contacts.

Lindsey always seems like he is talking down to someone, and since he spends 90% of his time looking at the GOP side of the room it feels like one big lecture aimed at his own guys.

Last time I checked you normally don't tell people when they are under investigation, right?

Horowitz again having to defend the intelligence briefing to team Trump. The agent was watching for Flynn's reaction when told that Russia was interfering.
Cornyn thinks the agent should have read Flynn Miranda

Last time I checked you normally don't tell people when they are under investigation, right? I think it is sticky, bc normally if you're being questioned by a law enforcement officer, you know it. Like I said upthread, I don't know how the FBI could have been more transparent with Trump/Page/Flynn while protecting their investigation.
