NRL's o.p. linked to this TPM 3/20/17 article about Comey's statement that the FBI's Russian investigation 'began' in July of '16:

Josh Marshall's article above contained this excerpt:

"On July 7, Carter Page gave a speech in Moscow which was generally hostile to US policy vis a vis Russia. He may have had other meetings – there are various unproven claims. But the speech is a public fact. The visit was approved by Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s soon to be fired campaign manager, after being rejected by J.D. Gordon, Page’s supervisor on the campaign’s National Security Advisory Committee."

I noticed at the time that there may have been a discrepancy in the TPM article "about who o.k.ed the 7/7 Page trip to Russia. It possibly was J.D. Gordon, not Lewandowski.

This might be correct, because when you read 4 paras later into Josh's summation, he says Manafort took over from Lewandowski on 6/21, when Corey was fired.

Lewandowski never really stopped working for dRumpf, I realize, but it seems hard to believe that he was making a decision 2 weeks later to send Page, instead of the alternative, that Gordon approved the Page trip. "

I recall asking if Gordon was a Flynn guy, he's definitely a far right military intel spook.
