"So What Happened?" A September 2025 Email Following Disclosure of the FBI's Russia-Gate File Maintained Under Bradley Foerster
Shortly after learning that the FBI maintained a substantial investigative file concerning Dr. Bradley Foerster relating to allegations commonly referred to as "Russia-Gate," Dr. Myria Petrou sent the following email to Duaa Altaee, copying Dr. Foerster. The email reflects Dr. Petrou's contemporaneous effort to reconstruct the chronology surrounding Dr. Paul Cronin's 2016 disclosures, the subsequent Ann Arbor Police Department investigation, University of Michigan proceedings, and the FBI records that had recently come to light.
The email also references then-Governor Rick Snyder, who at the time was Governor of Michigan, a resident of Ann Arbor, and a University of Michigan alumnus. Within that chronology, Dr. Petrou recounts statements she attributed to Dr. Eva Feldman concerning Governor Snyder's presidential ambitions, along with statements she attributed to Dr. Cronin concerning Governor Snyder's reaction to President Trump's 2016 vice-presidential selection. Those references are reproduced because they formed part of Dr. Petrou's contemporaneous effort to reconstruct the chronology surrounding Dr. Cronin's 2016 disclosures, the opening of Crossfire Hurricane, and the FBI records later disclosed.
The email is reproduced below as part of the documentary record.
