Complete exposure of how the bullshit investigation started and the attempt to frame Trump and his campaign as Russian assets.

United States:

Rogue FBI Agents (McCabe signed off on FISA process;Strzok texts with Lisa Page redacted by Mueller)(James Baker:“personally reviewed and made edits to the FISA.”)
DAG Sally Yates (signed off on FISA process)
High ranking DOJ officials
DNC
Media (Buzzfeed;NYT;WaPo)
FISA court manipulation (Trisha Anderson signed off on the FISA application on Carter Page—before it went to FBI Director James Comey—despite admitting not having read it.)
Fusion GPS (Democrat-funded opposition research firm)
Adam Schiff/Glen Simpson connection (undisclosed meeting in Aspen)(Schiff tried to block Congress from getting bank records of Simpson’s company Fusion GPS. Those bank records showed Clinton campaign (working through Perkins Coie) was paying Fusion for the dossier)
State Department (official Jonathon Winer had direct contact with Simpson)

McCabe said Rosenstein sought out Comey's advice on who to appoint as special counsel, even though Comey had been fired & Rosenstein had signed the letter recommending Comey's firing. In effect,Comey picked his old pal Mueller, along with Mueller's old briefer, McCabe.

McCABE's PERSONAL GRUDGE vs GEN. FLYNN:

After FBI SSA Robin Gritz was removed from the bureau's Iran unit, she filed a complaint against McCabe for sexual discrimination; and then after Gen. Flynn stood up for her, McCabe sent agents to ambush Flynn at WH, setting a perjury trap

Mueller can release his final report and Trump can declassify the FISA warrants afterwards and point at the discrepancies. Looking forward to the conceivable backfire in this scenario should that be the case.

Wisconsin's Russia-GOP connection. It goes well beyond poll data in Mueller Report (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/4/21/1852036/-Wisconsin-s-Russia-GOP-connection-It-goes-well-beyond-poll-data-in-Mueller-Report)

https://images.dailykos.com/images/667835/story_image/RonJohnsonVladimirPutin.jpg?1555887974

what jumps out to me is how much of that story and related Russian affairs connected back to Wisconsin.

Our state appears in the Mueller Report as one of a handful in the Midwest that former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort passed information about to a Russian intelligence agent.

And you may recall that Trump did surprisingly well in all of those states in November 2016. Funny, that.

One of the biggest assists Trump got was in the form of a record investment by the National Rifle Association. Keep that NRA support in mind when you hear about this story from Friday night. (https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2019-04-19/admitted-russian-agent-butina-asks-us-court-to-be-lenient)

Maria Butina, who has admitted to working as a Russian agent to infiltrate an influential U.S. gun rights group and make inroads with conservative activists and Republicans, asked the court to sentence her to time served ahead of her April 26 sentencing, according to court documents.

Butina, 30, a former graduate student at American University who publicly advocated for gun rights, pleaded guilty in December to one count of conspiring to act as a foreign agent for Russia. She has remained in custody since her arrest in July 2018.

‘Egregiously false’: Giuliani’s claim that

Russia hacks were in the public interest

debunked by professor

one of Rudy Giuliani’s defenses of the Russian theft of Democratic e-mails ahead of the 2016 presidential election was that the information they stole and distributed through WikiLeaks was

in the public interest

because it revealed information about Hillary Clinton

why Giuliani’s argument is nonsense:

the e-mails stolen by Russia

didn’t actually contain any information that incriminated Clinton,

they just confused people into believing there must be fire in all the smoke.

Jared Kushner Rewrites History And Claims Russia Help For Trump Didn’t Matter

“I think the investigations and all the speculation has had a much harsher effect on democracy than a few Facebook ads,”

“In the campaign we didn’t know that Russia was doing what it was doing.”

“The notion of what they were doing didn’t even register to us as impactful.”

This isn’t a case of the left hand not knowing what the right was doing.

Extensive contacts between the Russians and the Trump campaign were revealed even in the redacted version of the Mueller report (https://www.politicususa.com/2019/04/20/even-redacted-mueller-report-reveals-extensive-trump-russia-contacts.html),

which some legal experts say he confirm that the Russian government was attempting to help Trump with the election.

Mueller found “numerous links” and that

the Trump campaign “expected it would benefit” from Russia’s effort to help Trump win the election.

here is something mueller never once mentioned;

1) is trump compromised in any way by any foreign govt?
2) why did mueller never mention the fbi briefing that both campaigns received regarding foreign govts - contacts and attempts to compromise?
3) mueller knows that if his narrow mandate did not allow him to investigate - it didnt just get cancelled - it was handed off to the fbi counter intel agents/division

[RandomGuy]

what report, we've seen bupkis?

good to know Republicans now think official conduct is beyond reproach so long as it is not provably illegal.

Got around to reading it.

Pretty clearly shows collusion (in the commonly understood way) and obstruction, as well as laughable incompetence. Holy fuckballs.

No "criminal conspiracy" with Russia, so saying "This is fine" sets a new low. "it wasn't criminal". Seems like pretty clear case for full on impeachment for multiple counts of obstruction of justice, as well as criminally charging him with multiple, easy to prove counts after he leaves office.

Legal Fight Erupts After Feds Make New Claims About Butina Ahead Of Sentencing

has been cooperating with the feds for months,

but just days before her sentencing,

a major fight has erupted over the government’s efforts to paint her conduct as part of a “spot and assess” operation that could aid Russian spies.

The fight bubbled up in dueling sentencing memos filed Friday from Butina’s attorneys and prosecutors in the U.S. attorney’s office in D.C.

her lawyers filed a sentencing memo that painted her in the most flattering light possible.

“All told, her motivations weren’t nefarious. :lol

Maria was genuinely interested in improving relations between the two countries, and she had no ill intent,” :lol

The government, however, appears ready to throw the book at her,

even though they filed with the court a separate letter that described her “substantial assistance.”

They are recommending she serve an additional 18 months in prison —

a recommendation that would have been 24 months had she not cooperated.

“Butina provided Russia with information that has tremendous intelligence value,”

the type of information that “skilled intelligence officers can exploit for years and that may cause significant damage to the United States.”

With some of the other details we know now, "fighting back" means a lot of behind the scenes manuevering as well. Tweets like this, direct statements, will be front and center in any obstruction of justice charges.

This is looking more likely as time passes, and more evidence comes out. I would guess that Mueller has enough to charge Trump on this, which is what got Nixon and Clinton. What Trump has done, vastly exceeds what either of his predecessors did, and Trump has been doing it, like a fucking idiot, IN PUBLIC.

I will go out and say that Trump will be indicted for it. The MAGA bomber and Coast Guard Lt types are the tip of the shitberg at that point. When Trump is charged, there will be some terrorist attack by one of his supporters.

... this is exactly what hte Mueller report said.

[RandomGuy]

The irony of you bringing up the CIA is going to be all time.


I said from the beginning:

What they were going to find was going to be data sharing, and that is what they have found. I said there would be some messaging coordination, and that was what they found.

All of this stuff was hinted at months ago, and Mueller is fleshing it out.

Data sharing and coordinating marketing/messaging is the definition of "collusion".


secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others.

There is a reason that Russian messaging efforts targeted certain states.

... and this is exactly what Mueller found as well.

[RandomGuy]

So we have about five different conspiracies here.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2019/02/21/what-the-mueller-report-will-say

Conspiring with Russia: Donald Trump, his campaign, his organization and his associates knew of the intent of the Russian Federation to carry out the Russian Intervention as early as November 2015. Upon learning of that intent, instead of alerting the FBI to the likelihood of a foreign government trying to commit a crime, Donald Trump, his campaign, his organization and his associates illegally conspired throughout the 2016 presidential election to encourage and enable the Russia Intervention. The result was to defraud the American people of a free and fair election.

At the LouisvilleCourier Journal,

Joseph Gerth is not too excited at the prospect that "by the middle of the year,

we'll be in business with Oleg Deripaska, a buddy of Vladimir Putin."

Kentucky is looking for $200 million from the Russian to invest in a $1.7 billion aluminum plant there.

He goes on to describe

Deripaska's "deep ties to Russian organized crime," and

the allegations of Deripaska's violent, ruthless, criminal past in Russia.

Republican Gov. Matt Bevin's support for this project—

the state has already spent $15 million in the Braidy Industries aluminum plant, and

how important getting this big project going for Bevin's re-election,

as "there has been an air of suspicion surrounding the Braidy project as it has dragged on."

It took the intervention of two other powerful Kentucky politicians to make it happen—Sens. Rand Paul and, most importantly, Mitch McConnell.

Those two were among the three votes in the Senate that

helped Donald Trump lift sanctions against Rusal, the aluminum company that will invest in the state which is partially owned by Deripaska.

one key question: how deep into Russia is McConnell?

What does he owe Putin?

He helped Russia (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/1/18/1827396/-Remember-when-Mitch-McConnell-covered-up-Putin-s-interference-to-elect-Trump) get Trump into the White House by

refusing to let the American government notify the public about and

help states arm against Russian incursion in the 2016 election.

Now he's looking to Russia to help his own re-election prospects and stranglehold on the Senate,

with a big assist from Bevin and Paul.

Something is really rotten in the state of Kentucky.

Rosenstein to trump : “I can land the plane”

piece of shit

i was hopeful this piece of shit was just playing 3d chess to protect the doj

instead this weasel was terrified of trump

contrast that to a patriot like comey or mccabe who refused to play ball

mccabe when trump tried to get mccabe to tell trump that fbi people were happy to see comey fired:
”thats not my experience- fbi is devastated - people loved comey and supported him - including myself”

rosenstein and barr both have now used “landing the plane”

Dan Bongino did some digging and came up with a bombshell. It seems Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson, two Republican Senators, think the FBI kept spying on Trump after the election.

Wow…if this is true it could be a game changer. Dan wrote:

“Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) claim they have uncovered text messages that may show the FBI spied on Trump campaign staffers after the 2016 presidential election.

In a letter to Attorney General William Barr, Johnson and Grassley highlight a text messages between FBI lovers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page prior to a FBI briefing with the Trump transition team. The two seem to discuss using the meeting to foster relationships and gather information about transition team officials, according to the Washington Times.

“…In the course of our oversight work we have reviewed certain text messages that may show potential attempts by the FBI to conduct surveillance of President-elect Trump’s transition team,” write the senators.

In the text messages, the former FBI officials:

Discuss the possibility of developing “potential relationships” at a November 2016 FBI briefing for the Trump transition team

Specifically, discuss sending “the CI [confidential informant] guy” to assess an unnamed person(s) “demeanor”

Strzok: Talking with Bill. Do we want Joe to go with Evanina instead of Charlie for a variety of reasons?

Page: Hmm. Not sure. Would it be unusual to have [sic] show up again? Maybe another agent from the team?

Strzok: Or, he’s “the CI guy.” Same.might [sic] make sense. He can assess if there [sic] are any news [sic] Qs, or different demeanor. If Katie’s husband is there, he can see if there are people we can develop for potential relationships

Page: Should I ask Andy about it? Or Bill want to reach out for andy?

Strzok: I told him I’m sure we could ask you to make the swap if we thought it was smart. It’s not until Mon so Bill can always discuss with him tomorrow.

In their letter to Barr, the Senators pose a number of questions.”

Look something stinks with this entire deal and we need Bill Barr to get to the bottom of it – the damage has been done but we can not allow this to happen again.

Republicans Blame Obama (And Biden) For Russian Election Meddling

Republicans have decided to blame President Barack Obama for the extensive contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives.

“We need a full accounting of what Obama and Biden knew and when they knew it,” Ronna McDaniel, the Republican Party national chairwoman,

Trump’s reelection campaign released a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybvmu7kM8z0) and email that fabricated a “stand down” order from Obama, after he purportedly learned that Russia was interfering in the election.

Sarah Sanders parroted the lie while speaking to reporters on Thursday, arguing (https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1123972023884091393) that the Obama administration “actually didn’t do anything to stop interference in the election.”

In reality, when the Obama administration tried to raise the alarm on Russian election interference, it was blocked.

The Obama administration learned (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/06/us/trump-russia-cia-john-brennan.html) about Russia’s infiltration attempts in July 2016 and held a briefing with congressional leaders in August of that year.

When Senate Majority Leader

Mitch McConnell caught wind,

he threatened (https://shareblue.com/apprentice-mitch-mcconnell-russia-cia-john-brennan/) to publicly accuse Democrats of trying to throw the election if the CIA came forward with the information they had.

“I will condemn you and the Obama administration for trying to mess up this election,”

McConnell reportedly told then CIA-director John Brennan.

Trump’s foreign policy shows that ‘Russia has leverage over him’: Ex-CIA official

MSNBC’s Jeremy Bash said President Donald Trump’s foreign policy showed clearly that Russia had “leverage” over him.

“I would say that the president actually is operating from a coherent perspective in that

he totally pushes away intelligence,

he doesn’t listen to it, and

in every instance you can go down the line,

his foreign policy is one where Russia has leverage over him,”

Bash said

Trump’s positions on
Syria,
Venezuela,
NATO,
the G-7 and
2016 election interference

favor Vladimir Putin’s interests.

“That’s a pretty coherent worldview, and it’s

totally at odds with what the U.S. intelligence community believes,” Bash said.

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/trumps-foreign-policy-shows-that-russia-has-leverage-over-him-ex-cia-official/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheRawStory+%28The+Raw+Story% 29 (https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/trumps-foreign-policy-shows-that-russia-has-leverage-over-him-ex-cia-official/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheRawStory+%28The+Raw+Story% 29)

Don't have to be CIA person to see that all of Trash's so-called foreign policy is actually Pootin's geopolitical objective of elevating Mother Russia to its previous glory by diminishing USA's global influence, and generally fucking up USA govt and politics with cyber-attacks.

Trash also said he would have to think about it if Pootin invaded the Baltics, all former part of USSR and now members of the EU and NATO, rather than defending NATO any and all members under Article 5.

James Comey is in trouble and he knows it


The first will be whether the investigations into both presidential nominees and the Trump campaign were adequately, in Barr’s words, “predicated.” This means he will examine whether there was sufficient justification under existing guidelines for the FBI to have started an investigation in the first place.

The Mueller report’s conclusions make this a fair question for the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign. Comey’s own pronouncement, that the Clinton email case was unprosecutable, makes it a fair question for that investigation.

The second will be whether Comey’s team obeyed long-established investigative guidelines while conducting the investigations and, specifically, if there was sufficient, truthful justification to lawfully conduct electronic surveillance of an American citizen.

The third will be an examination of whether Comey was unduly influenced by political agendas emanating from the previous White House and its director of national intelligence, CIA director and attorney general. This, above all, is what’s causing the 360-degree head spins.

There are early indicators that troubling behaviors may have occurred in all three scenarios. Barr will want to zero in on a particular area of concern: the use by the FBI of confidential human sources, whether its own or those offered up by the then-CIA director.

Without diving into the weeds, it’s important to understand that FBI counterintelligence investigations generally proceed sequentially from what is called a preliminary investigation or inquiry (PI) to a full investigation (FI). To move from a PI to an FI requires substantial information — predication — indicating investigative targets acted as agents of a foreign power.

This is problematic for Comey in light of Mueller’s findings. There are strict guidelines governing when the FBI can task a confidential source or a government undercover operative to collect against a U.S. citizen.

There is a sense that Comey’s team was not checking the boxes, did not have adequate predication, and may have tasked sources before an investigation was even officially opened. Barr should pull case files and dig in on this.

James Comey is in trouble and he knows it


The first will be whether the investigations into both presidential nominees and the Trump campaign were adequately, in Barr’s words, “predicated.” This means he will examine whether there was sufficient justification under existing guidelines for the FBI to have started an investigation in the first place.

The Mueller report’s conclusions make this a fair question for the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign. Comey’s own pronouncement, that the Clinton email case was unprosecutable, makes it a fair question for that investigation.

The second will be whether Comey’s team obeyed long-established investigative guidelines while conducting the investigations and, specifically, if there was sufficient, truthful justification to lawfully conduct electronic surveillance of an American citizen.

The third will be an examination of whether Comey was unduly influenced by political agendas emanating from the previous White House and its director of national intelligence, CIA director and attorney general. This, above all, is what’s causing the 360-degree head spins.

There are early indicators that troubling behaviors may have occurred in all three scenarios. Barr will want to zero in on a particular area of concern: the use by the FBI of confidential human sources, whether its own or those offered up by the then-CIA director.

Without diving into the weeds, it’s important to understand that FBI counterintelligence investigations generally proceed sequentially from what is called a preliminary investigation or inquiry (PI) to a full investigation (FI). To move from a PI to an FI requires substantial information — predication — indicating investigative targets acted as agents of a foreign power.

This is problematic for Comey in light of Mueller’s findings. There are strict guidelines governing when the FBI can task a confidential source or a government undercover operative to collect against a U.S. citizen. Normally this is restricted to a full investigation, and normally restricted to the United States, not overseas.

Comey's townhall tonight is going to be comedy gold.

[TSA]

The concerns were flagged in a typed memo and in handwritten notes taken by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016.

Her observations were recorded exactly 10 days before the FBI used Steele and his infamous dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign’s contacts with Russia in search of a now debunked collusion theory.

It is important to note that the FBI swore on Oct. 21, 2016, to the FISA judges that Steele’s “reporting has been corroborated and used in criminal proceedings” and the FBI has determined him to be “reliable” and was “unaware of any derogatory information pertaining” to their informant, who simultaneously worked for Fusion GPS, the firm paid by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Clinton campaign to find Russian dirt on Trump.

That’s a pretty remarkable declaration in Footnote 5 on Page 15 of the FISA application, since Kavalec apparently needed just a single encounter with Steele at State to find one of his key claims about Trump-Russia collusion was blatantly false.

Russia Is Targeting Europe’s Elections. So Are Far-Right Copycats.

Less than two weeks before pivotal elections for the European Parliament,

a constellation of websites and social media accounts linked to Russia or far-right groups is spreading disinformation,

encouraging discord and amplifying distrust in the centrist parties that have governed for decades.

new disinformation efforts share many of the same digital fingerprints or tactics used in previous Russian attacks,

including the Kremlin’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign.

Fringe political commentary sites in Italy, for instance, bear the same electronic signatures as pro-Kremlin websites,

while a pair of German political groups share servers used by the Russian hackers who attacked the Democratic National Committee.

The activity offers fresh evidence that despite indictments, expulsions and recriminations,

Russia remains undeterred in its campaign to widen political divisions and weaken Western institutions.

Despite online policing efforts by American technology companies, it remains far easier to spread false information than to stop it.

Putin smiles as Washington ties itself in knots over Russi

Vladimir Putin (http://www.cnn.com/2019/05/14/europe/pompeo-sochi-russia/index.html) keeps on getting the last laugh, and he knows it.

The Russian leader and former KGB officer could not resist some sardonic trolling on a day when the tortured legacy of the 2016 election sowed fresh mistrust and discord in Washington and the US President's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. (http://www.cnn.com/2019/05/14/politics/donald-trump-jr-agree-to-senate-intel/index.html), got caught in the fallout.

"Despite the exotic nature of the work of special counsel Mueller, we must give him credit,"

Putin said during a visit from US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Sochi (http://www.cnn.com/2019/05/14/politics/pompeo-russia-meetings-sochi/index.html) on the Black Sea.

Emulating President Donald Trump's own language,

the architect of Russia's election meddling operation said

Mueller's report showed claims of collusion were "nonsense,"

appearing to be only too happy to add to the fog of controversy churning over the former FBI director's conclusions.

Some 5,500 miles west of Putin, the still bitter reverberations of that divisive election tightened their corrosive grip over the institutions of US political life.

Trump's team and Democrats are now fighting a war of attrition over Trump's personal finances, campaign and presidency that was born from the Russia intrigue and will further strain national unity.

Which is presumably fine by Putin, since Mueller concluded

Russia's nefarious efforts were designed to "provoke and amplify political and social discord in the United States."

Trump has burned through the hierarchy of top Justice Department officials at an alarming rate, and there were signs Tuesday that FBI Director Christopher Wray could be on thin ice.

Trump objected to Wray's refusal to adopt Barr's term -- "spying" -- for warrant approved surveillance of his campaign.

"I certainly didn't understand that answer. I thought it was a ridiculous answer," Trump told reporters.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/15/politics/donald-trump-putin-russia-investigation/index.html (https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/15/politics/donald-trump-putin-russia-investigation/index.html)

In an interview with Fox News’ Martha Maccallum, Gowdy said when he was still in Congress, he saw an FBI spreadsheet that laid out all of the specific claims in the dossier, which former British spy Christopher Steele authored. The spreadsheet also cited information the FBI believed corroborated Steele’s salacious report, he said.

“I’ve seen the spreadsheet, Martha, I have seen each factual assertion listed in that dossier, and then I’ve seen the FBI’s justification. And when you’re citing newspaper articles as corroboration for a factual assertion that you have made, you don’t need an FBI agent to go do a Google search,” said Gowdy, who served on the House Intelligence Committee and is a Fox News contributor.

“When the name Sidney Blumenthal is included as part of your corroboration, and when you’re the world’s leading law enforcement agency, you have a problem.”

the Trump administration is sabotaging efforts to enhance election security at every turn.

Trump’s determination to portray Russian interference as a hoax

Republicans have signaled (https://amp.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article229016119.html?__twitter_impression=true) that they don’t even plan to hold a single hearing on election security legislation

Democrats’ reform package, known as HR 1, contained multiple election security measures (https://www.meritalk.com/articles/cbo-h-r-1-would-cost-2-6b-mostly-for-election-security/), including grants for voting machine upgrades and testing, that are broadly supported on both sides of the aisle.

McConnell abhors the bill’s disclosure and public matching funds provisions,

Congress provided the states with $380 million (https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/voting-machines-risk-where-we-stand-today) for election security in Help America Vote Act Funds last year, but election administrators need three times that to bring voting systems up to par

FBI Director Christopher Wray has warned that the threat of foreign interference keeps escalating, (https://www.rollcall.com/news/fbi-director-wants-game-election-interference) and that other U.S. adversaries are looking for ways to emulate Russia.

Republicans Abandon Election Security

Republicans used to back election security, but now GOP leaders are taking their cue from the White House.

Intelligence officials say they are bracing (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/26/us/politics/fbi-russian-election-interference.html) for more aggressive attacks from a wider array of foreign adversaries in 2020.

the Trump administration is sabotaging efforts to enhance election security at every turn.

Trump’s determination to portray Russian interference as a hoax

has made it taboo (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/24/us/politics/russia-2020-election-trump.html?module=inline) for members of his own administration to even talk about foreign meddling, and

has derailed (https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/senate-rules-cancels-election-security-markup) the leading bipartisan election security bill on Capitol Hill.

Republicans have signaled (https://amp.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article229016119.html?__twitter_impression=true) that they don’t even plan to hold a single hearing on election security legislation

Democrats’ reform package, known as HR 1, contained multiple election security measures (https://www.meritalk.com/articles/cbo-h-r-1-would-cost-2-6b-mostly-for-election-security/), including grants for voting machine upgrades and testing, that are broadly supported on both sides of the aisle.

McConnell abhors the bill’s disclosure and public matching funds provisions,

Congress provided the states with $380 million (https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/voting-machines-risk-where-we-stand-today) for election security in Help America Vote Act Funds last year, but election administrators need three times that to bring voting systems up to par

FBI Director Christopher Wray has warned that the threat of foreign interference keeps escalating, (https://www.rollcall.com/news/fbi-director-wants-game-election-interference) and that other U.S. adversaries are looking for ways to emulate Russia.

Jeff Sessions’s Grave Conflict of Interest

Last year, in March 2018, then Attorney General Jeff Sessions enlisted his subordinates to lie on his behalf

that he did not know he was under federal investigation when he fired then Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe

Sessions and his allies succeeded in shutting down a major controversy.

If it had been made public that the attorney general had knowingly fired the deputy FBI director (and later, acting director) who’d opened and supervised that criminal investigation,

the resulting scandal would have engulfed Sessions and

would likely have even more seriously threatened his already tumultuous tenure as attorney general.

A government official with first-hand knowledge of the matter told me that the attorney general therefore instructed aides to make false statements in briefings to the press.

corroborated in part by a mass of evidence in the Mueller Report detailing the special counsel’s investigation of the former attorney general.

In addition to firing McCabe, Sessions, while under investigation, played a leading role in more broadly carrying out President Trump’s relentless campaign to undermine and discredit the FBI

Sessions had claimed that he had not known he’d been investigated for perjury until sometime during March 2018, the month he fired McCabe,

At issue were statements

Sessions had made at his confirmation hearing, claiming that he’d had no contacts with Russian diplomats

during the 2016 presidential election when he was advising Trump.

Sessions, in fact, had twice met with Kislyak.

It was after TheWashington Post disclosed details (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/sessions-spoke-twice-with-russian-ambassador-during-trumps-presidential-campaign-justice-officials-say/2017/03/01/77205eda-feac-11e6-99b4-9e613afeb09f_story.html?utm_term=.4941f2348f49) of these meetings that Sessions recused himself (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/02/us/politics/jeff-sessions-russia-trump-investigation-democrats.html) from overseeing the DOJ and FBI investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2019/05/15/jeff-sessionss-grave-conflict-of-interest/

Why did Sessions lie about meeting Russians?

What does the Trump team say to Russia behind closed doors? We’re about to get a glimpse.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the release (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/judge-orders-public-release-of-what-michael-flynn-said-in-call-to-russian-ambassador/2019/05/16/1e68712a-7825-11e9-bd25-c989555e7766_story.html) of a transcript of Michael Flynn’s phone call with Russia’s ambassador after the 2016 election by May 31.

This is the call Flynn would later lie to the FBI about, a crime to which he has pleaded guilty.

The question has long been why he felt the need to lie about it.

The lie involved his denials that he and the ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, had discussed the Obama administration’s newly imposed sanctions.

Those sanctions were in response to Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, and

the Trump transition team worried that Russia would poison the well for future relations by responding with a huge sanctions package of its own.

What happened to the Trump counterintelligence investigation?

House investigators don’t know.

A few weeks before he was fired by President Trump in May 2017, then-FBI Director James Comey testified (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/03/20/full-transcript-fbi-director-james-comey-testifies-on-russian-interference-in-2016-election/?utm_term=.bba5c8a6ab9a) before the House Intelligence Committee. During that testimony, he confirmed something that had already been reported.

“I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that

the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election,” he said,

“and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and

whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts.”

To a layperson, this issue may seem to be resolved.

But, in fact, it isn’t.

Mueller’s investigation into possible coordination was an offshoot of

a broader probe into how or where members of Trump’s team — the candidate included (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/fbis-investigation-of-trump-included-a-counterintelligence-inquiry/2019/01/12/9b8adfb8-166d-11e9-90a8-136fa44b80ba_story.html) — might have been working to aid Russian interests.

Where that investigation stands now, though, is a mystery — even to congressional leaders.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) ... explained how he and his colleagues have been stymied in their efforts to learn how and if the probe is moving forward.
