      Eric Columbus Retweeted Nicholas Fandos

      There may be a Julian Assange angle in Nunes leaking Warner's texts to Fox -- even though he's not mentioned in the NYT story. Assange promised Hannity, just two weeks prior, that dirt on Warner would soon surface. 1/https://twitter.com/npfandos/status/969254567308382208 …

      NEWS: The bipartisan leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee have privately concluded that the HPSCI majority leaked Mark Warner's private text messages to Fox News. https://nyti.ms/2taZJlO

      Eric Columbus Retweeted Media Matters

      Communicating with a fake Sean Hannity account that he thought was legit, Assange said he had "some news about Warner" that he wanted to discuss with Hannity. 2/https://twitter.com/mmfa/status/962096308596236290 …

      Here's how Assange might have known about the texts that would soon leak. Per NYT, Warner sent the texts to Adam Waldman, a DC lawyer who knew Christopher Steele, in the hopes of facilitating a meeting between Senate Intel and Steele. 3/

      Waldman's firm did work for Oleg Deripaska, a Russian aluminum magnate and Putin ally who used to be close with Manafort. It's easy -- if a bit disturbing -- to imagine this info going from Waldman to Deripaska to Assange. 4/pic.twitter.com/diOmiuY4Ta

      Replying to @EricColumbus

      Doesn't make sense. The leaked texts were in the form provided to HPSCI (w/Senate markings, but w/o pagination, as provided to HPSCI). Easier explanation: Someone on HPSCI leaked to Assange and he gave them to Fox.

      Replying to @emptywheel

      That's also possible! And even more disturbing, no? (Or, couldn't Waldman have given the same docs to both HPSCI and the Russians?)

      Replying to @EricColumbus

      No. The leaked docs had Senate markings but were in the form that HPSCI obtained them. So they had to have been shared downstream from HPSCI. Plus, Waldman is the one who complained (not definitive, I know, but...)

          Why would it have to have been downstream from HPSCI rather than shared at the same time? I read this NYT snippet to suggest only that the version Fox received was the same as the version Nunes received.pic.twitter.com/AQOpvUeF4q

          what if Nunes gave them to Rohrabacher, and Rohrabacher gave them to Assange?
