      Is there a word for the hearing equiv of a shirttail, the really fascinating tidbit everyone misses? Eg, Burr said they might find a COMPANY colluded in election chaos.pic.twitter.com/kyRPJtuEyU

      As I note in my post on this, my first impression was that this might have related to Cambridge Analytica. But I agree SSCI might invoke Fusion GPS.

          Good write-up. Along with Fusion and Cambridge: crowdstrike had a major impact on the election apportioning blame for the DNC server hack

          How's that- you've reported on the speculative nature of crowdstrike conclusions and suspicious timing: https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/01/04/on-crowdstrikes-curiously-timed-report-claiming-newfound-high-confidence-in-its-gru-attribution/ …

          Of an entirely different report. But one would have to be a fucking idiot to a good faith bad report with collusion.

          KLS Research is another possibility.

          The odds on that prediction went up significantly with yesterday’s Van der Zwaan guilty plea, Carla. I assume you’re already aware of unique relationship between Skadden and KLS via CSC. Speaking of predictions... Why did you erase your call on Sergei Millian? I quite liked it.

          All I can find is that KLS uses The Company Corporation as registered agent, which in turn uses CSC. I don't think that's indicative of anything, there are an astronomical number of Delaware LLCs with the same structure. Is there more to it than that?

          Burr was almost certainly talking about the IRA indictment, but I still think KLS will end up being significant. re: Millian/Page prediction, I deleted it because I read through Steele's memos again and noticed that 102 actually says it already. :)

          Carla, any thoughts on the accts which retweeted and liked this post in the last day or so? I used to see an array of very similar accts amplify some of my tweets but they have dissipated in the last month. Curious if this is new for you. Have a nice weekend.

          Not entirely new for me, but usually it's just one every few weeks rather than multiple at the same time. I'm not sure if it's random or if accounts with butts in their profile pictures are the new numbers stations.

          I caught Burr saying that, and thought Fusion. SSCI’s interest in Steele relates.
