Judicial Watch has uncovered a document that on its face purports to be the origin of the Crossfire Hurricane “investigation.†It was authored by Peter Strzok, is heavily redacted and requires some knowledge of FBI protocols to understand fully. Nevertheless, the general import seems clear:
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Electronic Communication
Title: Crossfire Hurricane Date: 07/31/2016
Cc: [Redacted]
Strzok Peter P II
From: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
[Redacted]
Contact: Strzok Peter P II, [Redacted]
Approved by: Strzok Peter P II
Drafed by: Strzok Peter P II
...
This is the FBI document that anchors the late July date referenced in the Grassley letter. This Strzok memo clearly coincides with when Steele started disseminating his largely debunked "dossier".
