On January 26, 2022, The Federalist published “5 Takeaways From The Latest In The Carter Page Spygate Lawsuit.” The piece walks Page’s allegations against several Crossfire Hurricane figures, including Pientka. That is a column about a civil docket. It is not a primary Woods file and not a FISC opinion.

Use it as a map to the filings. Do not launder its verbs into Fact. The same rule applies to the July 23, 2020 Federalist piece on the candidate briefing: useful for pointing at the EC, not a substitute for the PDF. RealClearPolitics was searched again for a Pientka-named item; none was found. Deep Capture and OANN: no usable Pientka article located. Gateway Pundit published a January 2020 item that discusses family, houses, and cars. Those personal details are not repeated here.
