Dan, in your first call, which I think is the first and last occasion you and I ever spoke: (1) you seemed upset that I had received and had released FBI whistleblower information about the pipe bomb investigation. (2) I informed you that your staff had threatened to criminally investigate my staff as retribution against me (for pipe bomb or Epstein activity?) (3) you threatened to personally finance a defamation suit against reporters on behalf of a suspect. Perhaps it was also a veiled threat to sue me. You said “those depositions aren’t going to fun for the people involved” or something like that. In any case, Deputy FBI Director shouldn’t be financing civil lawsuits against reporters covering cases the FBI is working on. (4) you said you were going to call every agent in and get to the bottom of the whistleblower issue. (5) you offered me a briefing but I was going to be tied up until at least 6pm on the Epstein files transparency act, so I asked how late i could get the briefing and you said you were going to leave the office at 5pm. (6) I asked you a few questions on the call and your answers indicated to me that you were perhaps less informed than me on some of the issues, or you were going to be less than forthcoming. A few hours after the call, I received and released new FBI whistleblower information regarding the all-hands meeting (which matched what you told me in #4 above), related to concern that the meeting was called to “out” the whistelblowers. Your second (attempted) call was the evening I achieved 218 signatures on the Epstein discharge petition and I had been busy thwarting Mike Johnson’s last ditch effort to derail the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Not sure why your call log shows 1:36am. You called me in the evening, maybe 8ish? note - my staff also had the unfortunate pleasure of receiving numerous late night calls on Signal from FBI staff telling them there was absolutely nothing in the Epstein case and that I should back off.
