You know, I lived through Watergate (Stone was involved in that too!), and I understood all of it-- really, kept track of all the personages and connections and crimes. (I was writing a paper on it for school, so I paid attention.)

But this? I can't keep track. Roger Stone? Guccifer? June 16?

Then again, my brain is a bit older!

Within two weeks of the Trump Tower meeting where the Russians were going to expose 'dirt' on Hillary in exchange for solving the 'adoption' (aka Magnitsky Act Sanctions) problem. The one where DTJ claimed he was frustrated cause the Russian lawyer didn't actually physically give him any 'dirt'. The one POTUS wrote up the lies about on his son's behalf.

at the end appear to be written by people trying to debunk the investigation. I didn't go into total research of the text because I do not like wading through smelly grabage.
This could also be diversionary material accumulated by the hackers and promoted by people who want nothing more than to derail the investigation.

Full of woo and conspiracies. I looked up Lee Stranahan.

From Wikipedia
Lee Stranahan (born 10 September 1965) is an American investigative reporter who, as of 2017, was working for Sputnik, a Russian government-controlled news agency. He previously worked for Breitbart News,[1] and has written for The Huffington Post[2] and Daily Kos.[3] Before his journalism career he was a television producer, illustrator, and erotic photographer.[4]

In August, 2016 he colluded with Russian Military hackers to propagate active measures to spread unrest about Black Lives Matter. In April 2017, Stranahan announced he had resigned from his position at Breitbart News, the third time he'd either quit or been fired from the organization. He said he quit in protest after the site's Washington editor prevented him from covering the White House.[1] Stranahan had been attending the briefings for several weeks while identifying himself as a Breitbart reporter and trying to ask White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer a question about CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity technology company that handled the Democratic National Committee's servers during the 2016 election.[citation needed]

10. And why would this person approach Adam Schiff?

Unless he knows the House is about to flip and Adam Schiff, the current ranking member of the House Intel Committee would become its chairman?

OR

This guy is trying to troll Adam Schiff - because he has inside hacking knowledge of what he expects will yield another good November for the GOP? And he’s just toying with Schiff because he expects the committee chairmanship will remain just out of reach?

This of course would assume that said poster had some sort of legitimate connection to all this. Which is not in any way confirmed.

WHY would somebody post a tweet like this, if not to try just to fuck with the recipient?
