Judicial Watch Forces Release of “Electronic Communication” Used to Launch Obama’s Spy Operation

Judicial Watch says that it received the “electronic communication” (EC) that officially launched the counter-intelligence investigation, termed “Crossfire Hurricane,” of President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The document, which was written by former FBI official Peter Strzok and was obtained as the result of a Judicial Watch FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) lawsuit against the FBI and DOJ.

The redacted document details seemingly third-hand information that the Russian government “had been seeking prominent members of the Donald Trump campaign in which to engage to prepare for potential post-election relations should Trump be elected U.S. President.” The document also alleges Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, claimed to an unnamed party that “they (the Russians) could assist the Trump campaign with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to Hillary Clinton.”
