Michael Isikoff Published Article Linking Carter Page To ‘Russia’s Darth Vader,’ The Former KGB Official Linked To Gulftainer
In the course of any investigation, assembling a timeline and fact pattern is critical.
When timelines of Crossfire Hurricane and The American Report’s exposure of Gulftainer and the Obama/Clinton ‘Project Pelican’ operation are assembled, they intersect in September 2016 with a reporter named Michael Isikoff.
On September 22, 2016, The American Report broke the story of Gulftainer’s connections to Saddam’s nuclear scientist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar and former KGB agents Vladimir Putin and Igor Sechin, known as “Russia’s Darth Vader” and “the scariest person on earth.”
The day after The American Report published this photo of former KGB agent Igor Sehcin (Left) with Gulftainer co-owner Hamid Dhia Jafar (Right), the brother and business partner of Iraqi nuclear scientist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, Yahoo News journalist Michael Isikoff reported that “U.S. officials have since received intelligence reports that … [Trump campaign advisor Carter] Page met with Igor Sechin”
On the following day, September 23, 2016, Yahoo News Chief Investigative Correspondent Michael Isikoff reported in his now-infamous Yahoo News story “U.S. intel officials probe ties between Trump adviser and Kremlin” that “U.S. intelligence officials are seeking to determine whether an American businessman [Carter Page] identified by Donald Trump as one of his foreign policy advisers has opened up private communications with senior Russian officials.”
“Page showed up again in Moscow in early July, just two weeks before the Republican National Convention formally nominated Trump for president, and once again criticized U.S. policy,” Isikoff reported the day after The American Report’s expose on Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, Gulftainer, Putin, and Igor Sechin. “But U.S. officials have since received intelligence reports that during that same three-day trip, Page met with Igor Sechin, a longtime Putin associate and former Russian deputy prime minister who is now the executive chairman of Rosneft, Russian’s leading oil company, a well-placed Western intelligence source tells Yahoo News.”
Peter Strzok and other FBI officials used Isikoff’s article to illegally obtain a FISA warrant to wiretap President Trump.
According to the Washington Post, “The Carter Page FISA application also cited extensively a September 23, 2016, Yahoo News article by Michael Isikoff, which focuses on Page’s July 2016 trip to Moscow,” the memo says.
Fox News reported in a July 22, 2018 article titled “FBI told FISA court Steele wasn’t source of report used to justify surveilling Trump team, docs show”:
“The FBI does not believe that Source #1 [Steele] directly provided this information to the identified news organization that published the September 23rd News Article,” the FBI states in one of the released FISA documents. “Source #1 told the FBI that he/she only provided this information to the business associate and the FBI.”
The FBI promoted Strzok to Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division in September 2016, the same month that the Gulftainer – Sechin – Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar story broke and Isikoff immediately published his subsequent Carter Page – Sechin report.
Strzok had a romantic affair with FBI attorney Lisa Page. Strzok and Page attempted to take down President Trump in a coup d’etat centered on the Trump Russian Collusion hoax.
Ali Chalupa admitted in an email released by WikiLeaks that “I’ve been working with [Isikoff] for the past few weeks and connected him to the Ukrainians.
Isikoff and Mother Jones reporter David Corn claimed in their 2006 book Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War that Iraq had “no active nuclear weapons program.”
