Senate panel chief sees no Trump-Russia collusion so far: report
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The chairman of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee said its Russia investigation has found no proof that President Donald Trump's presidential campaign colluded with Moscow, an assertion that congressional sources said puts him at odds with Democrats on the largely bipartisan panel.
"If we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia," Republican Richard Burr told CBS News in an interview published on Thursday. Burr said the committee, which has been investigating alleged interference in the 2016 U.S. election two years, has not begun drafting its final report. He also could not say how much of it ultimately would be declassified, according to CBS. While there has been extensive bipartisan cooperation on the Senate panel, including between Burr and ranking Democrat Mark Warner, Democrats seriously disagree with Burr on evidence of collusion, according to congressional sources familiar with internal committee discussions. A spokesperson for Warner said he had no comment on the CBS report.
The Senate Intelligence Committee is among several congressional panels investigating Russian interference and the potential collusion with Trump's 2016 campaign, along with the U.S. Special Counsel's Office under the U.S. Department of Justice. Trump, saying he is a victim of "presidential harassment," has repeatedly blasted the federal investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller as a "witch hunt" while denying collusion. Moscow also has denied interference in the U.S. political system, counter to U.S. intelligence agency conclusions that it sought to sway the election in favor of Trump and undermine Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Burr's panel also is examining whether former Democratic President Barack Obama did enough to follow up on official government reporting of Russian election interference, as well as the U.S. intelligence community's January 2017 assessment of Russia role in election, the impact of social media and election security.

Q Research General #6251: Broken Down Hacks Edition
HOLY SHIT!
01/21 4 AM Those all technologies described below are truly "new" and monstrous. I was tonight (while being asleep) placed in the lab and there were some test and experiments done, I was sitting and crying, and my tears came mixed with blood. Real action was hidden behind "sweet DARPA dreams", they used to entrain my brain (I was buying some clothes etc). Here is an article, which best explains, what DARPA narrative network is about. Combine what you read in this article with the knowledge of implanted radios I have in both ears (and this is only one small part), to understand why I told that they entrain my brain with narratives to hide what they are doing to the clones, connected to my brain due to Elon Musk implants (neurograins) and nano robots circulating in my blood. There is also technology called Voice to Skull - in the case they did not secretly implant you with neurograins or neurodust (as explained in this Army declassified document about microwave), which can be used to beam sounds directly into your head, "treating" the whole house, all while you are sleeping.
Here is the list of senators I know in some capacity, while being abused for the development of military robot, and other projects as explained on this website and below. The whole project was supposed to be "top" military robot Sophia, which started after the first surgery in 2007. For many years it never crossed my mind that all problems I had after the surgery, were due to secretly implanted nano technologies. But Sophia has so many clones now - social, sex robot, little Sophia, cleaning robot etc., that it is difficult to keep track of all of them. One of Sophia clones ended in India, which makes complete sense to me. On the list of Senators here, most are men, except for the Gang from California. I am glad that they are not many.
Senators (list), who must have the knowledge of these projects: Doug Jones, Dianne Feinstein, Kamala Harris, Michael Bennet, Cory Gardner, Richard Blumenthal, Tom Carper, Rick Scott, Johnny Isakson, Jim Risch, Tammy Duckworth, Mitch McConnel, Bill Casidy, Ben Cardin, Gary Peters, Roy Blunt, Bob Menendez, Cory Booker, Tom Udall, Martin Heinrich, Chuck Schumer, Richard Burr, Tom Tillis, Rob Portman, Jim Inhofe, Ron Wyden, Pat Toomey, Jack Reed, Sheldon Whitehouse, Lindsey Graham, Lamar Alexander, John Cornyn, Mitt Romney, Patrick Leahy, BERNIE SANDERS, Mark Warner, Patty Murray, Joe Manchin, Mike Enzi, John Barraso. There is a reason why I "made bold" some of them; again I am glad that there are not many. The biggest surprise was Bernie Sanders, whose platform was not that much different from the goals I wrote for Occupy Wall Street in 2011.
Generals: Joseph F. Dunford, Paul J. Selva, Paul M. Nakasone, Philip S. Davidson, Terrence J. O'ShaughnessyCraig S. Faller, Raymond A. Thomas III, Stephen R. Lyons, Mark A. Milley, John M. Murray, Gustave F. Perna, Robert B. Brown, Robert B. Neller, John M. Richardson, James F. Caldwell, Jr., Christopher W. Grady, David L. Goldfein, James M. Holmes, Charles Q. Brown Jr., Tod D. Wolters.
It is beyond comprehension of an average human mind, why they would recruit for this unwanted "position" of military robot, a woman, born in foreign country, who came to US at the age of 39. I understand that this is very difficult to swallow, but again - if you send me any text of your choice in three languages in which I am fluent, I will be able to create a summary and tell you what it is about. This would be some type of "sanity test". You will need to do the same in languages in which you are fluent. Wish you sweet DARPA dreams, America. 01/20

Sequencing the Resistance Process Through Likely Legislative Action - Tools: Cohen, Mueller, Horowitz
Anons, this is a great piece from TCH on what the Left's playbook might be in Q1 of 2019. It's definitely worth a read and a share, although I don't agree with everything, it's a great rundown.
The first event is the congressional use of Michael Cohen for a series of public committee hearings. [Oversight (Elijah Cummings) and possibly -though less likely- Judiciary (Nadler) and HPSCI (Schiff)] This likely has to happen before March 6th, 2019, when Cohen is scheduled to enter federal prison. It's almost certain Cohen's incarceration deferment contains the unwritten agreement to appear. [Democrat leadership almost certainly coordinated this plan with team Mueller and the SDNY some time ago.]
The second event is the release of the Team Mueller political report which, despite its inability to find criminal wrongdoing, will most certainly be written with highly charged innuendo as damaging to President Trump as possible. The release of this report will absolutely fuel several public committee hearings [Oversight/Reform (Cummings), HPSCI (Schiff) and Judiciary (Nadler)] without any doubt.
The third event is the release of the OIG Horowitz report on possible FISA abuse. Due to the nature of Mueller's proprietary investigative blackout (Horowitz not allowed to see investigative material or witnesses with Mueller probe ongoing), the Horowitz report will likely come out *after* Mueller.
?Key Committee Structure - The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) will likely be Chairman Adam Schiff and ranking member Devin Nunes. The House Judiciary Committee will be Chaired by Jerry Nadler and ranking member Doug Collins. The House Oversight and Reform Committee will be Chairman Elijah Cummings and ranking member Jim Jordan.
?Gang of Eight (IC Oversight) - The Go8 line-up will be radically different in 2019 and far more adversarial to the executive branch. Ranked by influence over IC:
Nancy Pelosi (D) - Speaker of House.
Adam Schiff (D) - Chair, HPSCI
Senator Mitch McConnell (R) - Senate Majority Leader
Senator Richard Burr (R) - Chair, SSCI
Kevin McCarthy (R) - Minority Leader House.
Senator Chuck Schumer (D) - Senate Minority Leader
Devin Nunes (R) - Ranking Member HPSCI
Senator Mark Warner (D) - Vice Chair, SSCI
?The Broad Political Alliances - Overlaying the DC political alliances within the intelligence community Gang of Eight you see a resistance ratio of 7:1 against the executive branch.
Pelosi, Schiff, McConnell, Burr, McCarthy, Schumer and Warner all allied with the overall UniParty resistance objective; and only Devin Nunes as an ally to the White House. That's a ration of 7:1 in favor of "The DC Resistance" against the Executive Branch.

Senate Report on Russian Interference Was Written By Disinformation Warriors Behind Alabama 'False Flag Operation'
Hailed by Congress and the media as defenders of democracy, high-tech Russiagate hustlers Jonathon Morgan and Ryan Fox have been exposed for waging "an elaborate 'false flag' operation" to swing the 2017 Alabama senate race.
On December 17, two reports detailing ongoing Russian interference operations commissioned by the Senate Intelligence Committee were made public. They generated a week's worth of headlines and sent members of Congress and cable news pundits into a Cold War frenzy. According to the report, everything from the Green Party's Jill Stein to Instagram to Pokemon Go to the African American population had been used and confused by the deceptive Facebook pages of a private Russian troll farm called the Internet Research Agency.
Nevermind that 56% of the troll farm's pages appeared after the election, that 25% of them were seen by no one, or that their miniscule online presence paled in comparison to the millions of dollars spent on social media by the two major presidential campaigns and their supporters to sway voters. This was an act of war that demanded immediate government action.
According to Sen. Mark Warner, the Democratic chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, the reports were "a wake up call" and a "bombshell" that was certain to bring "long-overdue guardrails when it comes to social media". His Republican counterpart on the committee, North Carolina Senator Richard Burr, hailed the research papers as "proof positive that one of the most important things we can do is increase information sharing between the social media companies who can identify disinformation campaigns and the third-party experts who can analyze them."
But the authors of one of the reports soon suffered a major blow to their credibility when it was revealed that they had engaged in what they called a "Russian style" online disinformation operation aimed to swing a hotly contested special senate election. The embarrassing revelation has already resulted in one of the authors having his Facebook page suspended. The well-funded deception was carried out by New Knowledge, a private cyber intelligence firm founded by two self-styled disinformation experts who are veterans of the Obama administration: Jonathon Morgan and Ryan Fox.
'It may be designed to manipulate you' Morgan began his career as a product manager at AOL before founding a series of start ups, some with funding from the United States Agency for International Development and Silicon Valley billionaire Pierre Omidyar's Omidyar Network. Once a Brookings Institution researcher and special advisor to the Obama White House and State Department, Morgan founded Data for Democracy, a volunteer organization said to use "public data to monitor the election system for signs of fraud." Morgan also developed technology for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the arm of the Department of Defense created for basic, applied technological research, and futuristic war toys. Rising through the ranks of the national security apparatus, Morgan ultimately emerged as a go-to source for credulous reporters seeking to blame Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump on Russian disinformation. In an interview with the local CBS affiliate in Austin, Texas, Morgan told viewers that feelings of discontent were telltale signs that they had been duped by Russian disinformation. "If it makes you feel too angry or really provokes that type of almost tribal response, then it may be designed to manipulate you... People should be concerned about things that encourage them to change their behavior," he warned.
Fox, for his part, is a 15-year veteran of the National Security Agency and was a computer analyst for the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) military unit. JSOC is notorious for its spree of atrocities across the Middle East including digging their bullets out of dead pregnant women's bodies in Afghanistan. Comparatively little information is available about Fox's background.

New Reports Detail Expansive Russia Disinformation Scheme Targeting U.S.
Two new reports produced for Senate investigators say that Russian influence efforts infected every major social media platform, extensively targeted African-Americans and amounted to what researchers called a "propaganda war against American citizens."
The reports, which were drawn up by private cybersecurity firms on behalf of the Senate intelligence committee, offer the most comprehensive look yet at Russia's online influence operations.
They are based on information provided by the panel and the social media companies themselves.
The data in the reports "demonstrates how aggressively Russia sought to divide Americans by race, religion and ideology, and how the IRA actively worked to erode trust in our democratic institutions," said the committee's Republican chairman, Richard Burr.
The panel's top Democrat, Mark Warner, said the reports indicate that "these attacks against our country were much more comprehensive, calculating and widespread than previously revealed."

Christopher Steele Provided Information To Longtime Clinton Crony
Christopher Steele disclosed information from his infamous dossier to Strobe Talbott, a longtime Clinton insider and former State Department official. Court documents released on Tuesday show that Steele shared information with Talbott because of the latter's position on the State Department's Foreign Affairs Policy Board. Talbott's link to the dossier has not been previously reported. His brother-in-law, another Clinton insider, compiled an anti-Trump dossier of his own during the campaign.
Christopher Steele, the author of the infamous anti-Trump dossier, disclosed information from his Trump-Russia investigation to a longtime Clinton crony because of his position on a State Department advisory board, according to court documents filed on Tuesday. According to the court filing, Steele told a court in the United Kingdom on Aug. 1 that he provided Strobe Talbott, the Clinton insider, with anti-Trump research because of his position on the Foreign Affairs Policy Board, an independent advisory board set up in 2011 by then-Sec. of State Hillary Clinton.
Clinton appointed Talbott chairman of the advisory board, and he served in that role through John Kerry's tenure. "As regards disclosure to Strobe Talbott (if relevant to this claim), the Defendant relies on US Department of State Foreign Affairs Policy Board," reads the Aug. 1 filing. Steele's link to Talbott, which has not previously been revealed, shows the lengths to which Steele went to disseminate the fruits of his Trump investigation, which started in June 2016 when he was hired by Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm hired by the DNC and Clinton campaign.
The Steele document was revealed on Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by three Russian bankers who have sued Steele in the U.K. and U.S. over the dossier. A Sept. 14, 2016 memo in the dossier alleges links between the founders of the bank, Alfa Bank, and the Kremlin. They have sued Steele and Fusion GPS for defamation. Steele disclosed the link to Talbott in response to a series of questions posed in the U.K. ligation. Steele's filing does not provide additional details on his interactions with Talbott, who served as deputy secretary of state in the Bill Clinton administration. Talbott has long been friends with the Clintons, having met the former president at Oxford in the 1960s. It is also unclear what information from the dossier Steele gave to Talbott, or when the handoff would have occurred.
Steele, a former MI6 officer, compiled 17 memos dated from June 20, 2016 to Dec. 13, 2016, alleging a vast conspiracy between the Trump team and Kremlin to influence the 2016 election. The FBI would rely heavily on the dossier to obtain four warrants to spy on Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser who is named throughout the dossier. Page has vehemently denied Steele's claims. Republicans have accused the FBI of abusing the surveillance court process by relying on the dossier, which FBI officials have acknowledged was largely unverified when it was used to obtain spy warrants on Page.
Steele disseminated his dossier widely, to his contacts at the FBI, numerous news organizations, Congress, and the State Department. By passing the dossier to Talbott, who then served as president of the Brookings Institution, Steele pushed the anti-Trump research to the president of the most prominent think tank in the U.S. Steele had other ties to the State Department beyond Talbott.
In Summer 2016, the retired spy met provided his longtime friend, Jonathan Winer, then the State Department's special envoy to Libya, with parts of the dossier. Winer passed a summary of Steele's claims to others in the State Department. Steele also visited State Department headquarters in October 2016 to brief officials on the dossier. It is unclear whether Talbott was involved in the meeting, which Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr revealed during a hearing on June 20. Talbott also has a familial link to another dossier that was handled by Steele and Winer. Talbott's brother-in-law is Cody Shearer, a longtime Clinton fixer who conducted a private investigation of his own into Trump during the campaign.

Clapper, Feinstein Beg Judge For Lenient Sentence For Former Senate Intel Staffer and Serial Leaker James Wolfe
What a disgrace!
On Tuesday, prosecutors filed their sentencing memo seeking two years in prison for former Senate Intel staffer and serial leaker and liar, James Wolfe.
Former Intel Chief James Clapper, Chairman of the Senate Intel Committee Richard Burr (R-NC) and Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) vouched for James Wolfe and begged the judge for leniency.
James A. Wolfe, 57, was arrested in June of this year after the DOJ conducted an investigation into classified information leaks to reporters.
Wolfe repeatedly lied to investigators about his contacts with reporters and made false statements to the FBI.
The Justice Department also seized New York Times reporter, Ali Watkins years' worth of phone and email records.
According to the NY Times, Ali Watkins was having a romantic relationship with the Senate Intel aide, Wolfe. Some of their communication back and forth took place before she was employed by The New York Times.
"Mr. Wolfe lied to FBI agents in a December 2017 interview in connection with the FBI's probe of leaks of information regarding the activities of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence ("SSCI") to various reporters. It is a decision, along with his breaking his marital vows and violating his former employer's rules regarding contacts with the media, that he deeply regrets-and the consequences of those failings will follow him for the rest of his life," James Wolfe's lawyer wrote in the memo.
Obama's corrupt Intel Chief James Clapper came to the rescue and submitted a handwritten letter begging the judge to show mercy on his friend, the criminal serial leaker and liar, James Wolfe. (screenshot below)
"Knowing Jim as I do, I know this whole experience - and its exposure in the media - has been very traumatic for him already. I would hope the court would consider Jim's long and faithful service, as well as what he has endured thus far - in sentencing him, and would recommend minimal confinement," Clapper wrote to the judge.
Strange, we must have missed those letters Clapper and others wrote vouching for three-star General Mike Flynn.
It's almost as if Clapper also leaked to James Wolfe and is afraid people will find out - why else would he be writing such a personal letter on his behalf?

Report: Rosenstein Appointed a Special Counsel to Investigate Trump in Response to a Request From Dem Senator Mark Warner
A new report out by CNN sheds some light on what happened during the two critical weeks from the time James Comey was fired as FBI Director to when Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate Trump.
After Comey was fired, he immediately launched a campaign to get a special counsel appointed to investigate Trump by leaking classified memos of conversations he had with the President to the New York Times through a friend - the next day Mueller was appointed.
Comey wasn't the only one gunning for a special counsel to hunt down President Trump.
According to CNN, the corrupt Democrat Senator from Virginia, Mark Warner who is the Vice Chairman of the even more corrupt Senate Intel Committee, requested Rosenstein appoint a special counsel to investigate President Trump.
Rosenstein and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe then met with the entire gang of eight the day Mueller was appointed as Special Counsel.
Via CNN:
In the days immediately after Comey was fired, McCabe pushed for the appointment of a special counsel but Rosenstein seemed hesitant, despite many calls to do so.
On May 11, two days after Comey was fired, Rosenstein briefed Republican Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr of North Carolina and the panel's top Democrat, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, who were running their own Russia investigation. According to contemporaneous text messages between FBI officials, "Warner conveyed that he wanted (a) special counsel" and Rosenstein "said he took that under advisement."
McCabe and Rosenstein later met with the full "Gang of Eight," the Republican and Democratic congressional leaders and intelligence committee heads, the day Mueller was appointed.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wrote the memo recommending President Trump fire James Comey for his handling of the Clinton email investigation, yet Rosenstein then turned around and appointed a Special Counsel to investigate Trump for obstruction of justice for firing Comey.
This makes Rosenstein a potential witness - this is the swamp personified.
Who is Mark Warner to be investigating so-called Trump-Russia collusion or demand a special counsel?
Mark Warner tried to set up a secret meeting with dossier author Christopher Steele using an encrypted app to hide his tracks.
Warner used the lobbyist of a Russian oligarch to organize the secret meeting.
To guarantee some of this secrecy, Sen Warner was communicating with the Russian Oligarch's Lobbyist through the encrypted messaging app, Signal. Warner had his messages on Signal set to disappear after a designated amount of time as evidenced by the hourglass icon at the top right of the screenshots.
An attorney for Trump, Jay Sekulow previously went off on Mark Warner for his corruption.
"Wait, wait, I wanna say this again. The ranking member of the United States Senate is talking to a lobbyist to talk to a Russian Oligarch who's banned from coming to the U.S. so he can get to Christopher Steele who authored the Fusion GPS Steele dossier in conjunction with the number 4 at the Justice Department wife Bruce Ohr [Nellie] and you think this okay? It's not!" Sekulow said.
"Rosenstein appointed Mueller in response to request from Dem senator?" Tom Fitton said referring to CNN's new report.

Mark Warner tried to set up a secret meeting with dossier author Christopher Steele using an encrypted app to hide his tracks.
Warner used the lobbyist of a Russian oligarch to organize the secret meeting.
To guarantee some of this secrecy, Sen Warner was communicating with the Russian Oligarch's Lobbyist through the encrypted messaging app, Signal. Warner had his messages on Signal set to disappear after a designated amount of time as evidenced by the hourglass icon at the top right of the screenshots.

Senate Intel Committee Has Made Criminal Referrals To Mueller, Chairman Reveals
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has made criminal referrals to the special counsel's office, including regarding former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, the chairman of the panel revealed Friday.
"We have made referrals to the special prosecutor," North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr said at a forum held at the University of Texas in Austin. "One instance just highlighted of late, is that the special prosecutor is using the transcripts of interviews that we have used in our committee to indict somebody for lying to Congress."
"It's a loud message to everybody who's interviewed by our committee ... if you lie to us we're going to go after you," the Republican added.
Burr was referring to Cohen, who pleaded guilty Thursday to lying to the Senate panel and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in 2017 regarding his work on a deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
The committee provided special counsel Robert Mueller with transcripts of testimony provided during the panel's two-plus year investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Burr said other referrals have been submitted to Mueller's team, though he did not reveal details of those cases.
Cohen testified to both committees that his work on the project ended in January 2016 and that he did not plan trips to Moscow for himself and Trump.
Cohen admitted in his plea that he continued working to build Trump Tower Moscow through June 2016. He also acknowledged that he planned at one point to visit Russia but reversed course when he backed out of Trump Tower negotiations.

SENATE INTEL CHAIR SAYS RUSSIA PROBE WON'T BE ENDING ANYTIME SOON
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr said the panel's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election will be going well into 2019.
Burr said, in an interview with Bloomberg released Friday, he believes the committee's Russia probe would easily take as long as "six months," as the committee plans on interviewing a number of other witnesses. The committee will also need to gather all of its information it will declassify in order to release a final report.
Burr's colleague on the committee, Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, has called for public hearings with the witnesses involved in the committee's probe. However, Burr said he disagrees, saying he does not think it is necessary.
"I don't see the need for public hearings," Burr said in the interview. "I don't see that happening."
Warner has previously suggested that Americans are losing patience with the special counsel's investigation of Trump campaign links to Russia. "I think the American public will be tired of it if this is not wound down in this calendar year," he said in May during an interview at CodeCode.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign is still open, but he has reportedly started writing his report. (RELATED: Report: Mueller Has Started Writing His Report On Russia Probe)
The investigation started on May 17, 2017. The Senate Intelligence Committee has had its probe open since January 2017.

Senate aims to confirm man for bench despite racial concerns
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Republicans are working to soon fill the nation's longest judicial vacancy with a North Carolina lawyer whose nomination has raised objections from black lawmakers and civil rights groups concerned about his work defending state laws found to have discriminated against African-Americans.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has helped push 84 of President Donald Trump's nominees over the finish line and is itching for more. With just a few more weeks to go before Congress adjourns for the year, he has teed up a vote on the nomination of Thomas Farr, 64, to serve as a district court judge in North Carolina.
The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Farr's confirmation with a party-line vote back in January, meaning McConnell has waited about 10 months and until after the midterm elections to hold a vote on the floor.
Senators tend to save their biggest fights in the judicial arena for Supreme Court and appeals court nominees, but Farr's nomination has proved an exception.
"It's hard to believe President Trump nominated him, and it's even harder to believe the Senate Republicans are considering it again," said Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York in one of about 20 tweets he has sent out in recent days concerning Farr.
Farr has the backing of home-state Sens. Richard Burr and Thom Tillis, both Republicans. They have noted that Farr was also nominated to the same position by former President George W. Bush and has a "well qualified" rating from the American Bar Association. They have protested the implication that Farr is racially insensitive or biased.
"I think absolutely destroying a good man's reputation is inappropriate," Tillis said before the committee advanced Farr's nomination.
In introducing Farr last year, Burr said the judiciary needs good people and he "fills every piece of the word good."
But Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., described Farr as "probably the worst of the litter" when it comes to Trump's judicial nominees.
"Could this administration have picked an individual who is more hostile to the rights of minorities than this man? It is hard to imagine," Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said in the same committee hearing.
GOP leaders in charge of the North Carolina Legislature hired Farr and others at his firm to defend congressional and legislative boundaries that the Legislature approved in 2011. A federal court eventually struck some boundaries down as racial gerrymanders and the Supreme Court affirmed that decision.

WHO IS YOU?
From his Congressional testimony on May 23, 2017, Brennan said:
"Through the so-called Gang-of-Eight process, we kept congress apprised of these issues as we identified them. Again, in consultation with the White House, I personally briefed the full details of our understanding of Russian attempts to interfere in the election to congressional leadership.
"Specifically, Senators Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, Dianne Feinstein, and Richard Burr, and to representatives Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Devin Nunes, and Adam Schiff between 11th August and 6th September [2016], I provided the same briefing to each of the Gang of Eight members."
A question to be asked: why did Brennan brief each Gang of Eight member separately-and over a span of three weeks? Perhaps it was nothing more than scheduling conflicts. Brennan appears to go out of his way to note that he provided the same briefing to each member.
But if this was so, why would there be a particular concern over this information being given to the White House or any of the President's attorneys. It seems an odd point to be demanding privacy assurances nearly two years later.
As long as all the information transmitted by Brennan was the same for each Go8 member...
Meanwhile, those being addressed by the letter continue to shift:
"On July 12, 2018, we also wrote to Director Coats to express alarm that this information was being made more broadly available within the Congress, in direct contravention of your assurances. In this letter, we noted that during our meetings with all of you on these sensitive matters we discussed at great length the importance of protecting sources and methods and ongoing investigations. As you recall, all of the meetings' attendees agreed that the information discussed was among the most sensitive type of information and should be protected accordingly."
Notice what was actually said and who was addressed. First comes an indirect reference to DNI Coats; "We also wrote to Director Coats." Then the shift back to a direct address: "in direct contravention of your assurances."
This could be understood as a shift back to all three individuals.
But then comes the distinction: "during our meetings with all of you." And then back to "as you recall." Who is "you?"
My money is on Rosenstein. But Wray appears to be a near equal candidate. Both are possible.

Ex-CIA Chief Endorsed Steele Dossier to Set Russia Probe in Motion - Woodward
Former Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan reportedly endorsed the dossier claiming Donald Trump engaged in urination orgies at the Ritz Carlton in Moscow despite the fact that Washington Post, Politico and others in the media refused to publish anything about the dossier for want of corroboration.
Brennan put his stamp of approval on the dossier in December 2016, Watergate reporter Bob Woodward writes in his new book, "Fear." Brennan claimed it lined up with his own analysis, according to the author, that then-candidate Donald Trump colluded with Moscow to steal the election from Hillary Clinton, whose campaign considered "Because it's her turn" as a campaign motto.
Brennan wrote an op-ed carried by the New York Times last month saying that Trump's assertions of "no collusion" with Moscow are "hogwash." Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), chairman of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, found it remarkable to hear that Brennan was sure there was "collusion," Sputnik News reported.
"Director Brennan's recent statements purport to know as fact that the Trump campaign colluded with a foreign power. If Director Brennan's statement is based on intelligence he received while still leading the CIA, why didn't he include it in the Intelligence Community Assessment released in 2017? If his statement is based on intelligence he has seen since leaving office, it constitutes an intelligence breach," Burr said.
Brennan doesn't know if Trump-Russia collusion happened
If Brennan did have "the goods" showing that Trump and Moscow colluded, he refused to tell lawmakers while under oath during testimony before the House of Representatives.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) asked the former spy chief whether the CIA had evidence of Trump-Russia collusion or not in a May 2017 House Intelligence Committee hearing. "Did evidence exist of collusion, coordination, conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian state actors?" Gowdy asked.
"I don't know, whether or not, such collusion - and that's your term - such collusion existed. I don't know," Brennan fumbled.

Sen. Burr was speaking with Fox News when he was pressed on whether his committee has seen intelligence relating to Russian election meddling and President Trump.

Q Research General #3666: We Will TRiUMPh Over Evil
he Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, has announced that it will follow President Donald Trump's directives to investigate whether social media companies purposefully hampered conservative voices on their platforms.
In an emailed statement, Justice Department spokesman Devin O'Malley wrote that "the Attorney General has convened a meeting with a number of state attorneys general this month to discuss a growing concern that these companies may be hurting competition and intentionally stifling the free exchange of ideas on their platforms."
The meeting was spurred, says the statement, by Wednesday's Senate hearing on the use of social media platforms by foreign influence operations, in which Facebook Chief Marketing Officer Sheryl Sandberg and Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey testified. "We listened to today's Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing…closely," O'Malley wrote.
The main intent of the hearing, however, was to discuss how foreign influencers are using social media platforms like Facebook to influence elections and spread disinformation. There was very little talk of conservative bias, and the committee chairman, Republican Senator Richard Burr, acknowledged that imposing regulation on these platforms could violate the First Amendment.
Trump and other Republicans have recently argued that social media companies and tech platforms like Google purposely suppress conservative voices on their sites. They have repeatedly called for an investigation into their practices.
"Google search results for 'Trump News' shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake News Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out," tweeted Trump last week. "Illegal? 96% of results on 'Trump News' are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous. Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!"

In Stunning Reversal, Michael Cohen's Attorney Backpedals On Trump-Russia Claims
Sun, 08/26/2018 - 19:56
Lanny Davis - the attorney for Michael Cohen, has massively backpedaled on "confident assertions" that Cohen would share information with investigators that President Trump knew of Russian efforts to undermine Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton - a lifelong friend of Davis'.
The Washington Post reported on Sunday that Davis said in an interview that he is "no longer certain about claims he made to reporters on background and on the record in recent weeks about what Cohen knows about Trump's awareness of the Russian efforts."
Davis told The Washington Post that he cannot confirm media reports that Cohen is prepared to tell special counsel Robert S. Mueller III that Trump had advance knowledge of the 2016 Trump Tower meeting -WaPo
CNN reported in July that Cohen claimed to have witnessed Trump approving the meeting between Trump Jr. and Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya, arranged by an associate of opposition research firm Fusion GPS.
The day after CNN's report, the Washington Post - using an "anonymous source" they now admit was Davis, peddled the same story that "Cohen had told associates that he witnessed an exchange in which Trump Jr. told his father about an upcoming gathering in which he expected to get information about Clinton," however the Post didn't say Trump Jr. told Sr. it was the Russians.
"I should have been more clear - including with you - that I could not independently confirm what happened," Davis said, adding perhaps the most difficult four words for an attorney to utter: "I regret my error."
In the past week, when asked directly by CNN's Anderson Cooper whether there was information that Trump knew about his son's meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya beforehand, Davis said, "No, there's not."
In a statement Saturday, a CNN spokeswoman said, "We stand by our story, and are confident in our reporting of it." -WaPo

@Surabees
1. CNN reports Cohen has info on POTUS having advanced knowledge of Trump tower meeting.
2. @jonathanvswan reports Cohen told House Committee he had no such info.
3. Cohen's lawyer confirms Swan's reporting.
4. CNN refuses to correct their "reporting"
5. @brianstelter silent.
7:11 PM - Aug 26, 2018
The Post also notes that people familiar with Cohen's Congressional testimony said that despite being "interviewed extensively," Cohen never said anything to suggest that Trump had advanced knowledge of the meeting, while "Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Mark R. Warner (D-Va.), leaders of the Senate committee, said in recent days that Cohen had sent word to the committee that he had no desire to amend that testimony."
On Saturday, President Trump tweeted about Davis's stunning 180 on the Cohen claims, writing: "Michaels Cohen's attorney clarified the record, saying his client does not know if President Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting (out of which came nothing!). The answer is that I did NOT know about the meeting. Just another phony story by the Fake News Media!"

LANNY DAVIS: REPORTS ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN'S TRUMP TOWER CLAIMS WERE 'GARBLED'
Michael Cohen's attorney Lanny Davis said there is a "complication" in a report that President Donald Trump had prior knowledge of the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting.
In an interview on CNN, Davis said that Cohen's legal team was "never able to correct" the "complication."
Cohen's attorneys also recently told the Senate Intelligence Committee he stands by his testimony that he did not know about the Trump Tower meeting until a year after it occurred.
Lanny Davis said Tuesday that there is a "complication" to the bombshell story published in 2017 that Michael Cohen claims President Donald Trump had prior knowledge of the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting.
In two separate interviews with CNN, Davis said there is "some truth" to reports that Cohen is willing to tell special counsel Robert Mueller that Trump knew about the meeting, which took place between Donald Trump Jr. and a group of Russians on June 9, 2016.
But Davis said there was a "complication" in the reporting that Cohen's legal team was "never able to correct." He also said the reporting on the topic was "garbled."
CNN reported on July 27 that Cohen is willing to tell Mueller he was present when Trump Jr. informed his father of an offer to meet with a group of Russians about possible dirt on Hillary Clinton. Trump also approved of the meeting, CNN's anonymous sources claimed.
The report, published by reporters Jim Sciutto, Carl Bernstein and Marshall Cohen, was a major development in the Trump Tower saga because both Trump and Trump Jr. have denied that Trump knew about the meeting before it was reported in July 2017. Democrats have cited the Trump Tower meeting, which occurred on June 9, 2016, as the strongest public evidence of collusion between the campaign and Russians.
Trump Jr. accepted the meeting after an acquaintance told him that a "Russian government attorney" wanted to provide the campaign with dirt on Hillary Clinton. Trump Jr. and other meeting participants have claimed that the meeting was a dud, and that the Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, did not provide information on Clinton.
The story about Cohen's claims in regard to the meeting took an interesting twist Tuesday when North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr and Virginia Democratic Sen. Mark Warner issued a statement saying Cohen's attorneys claim he is standing by testimony he gave in 2017 that he did not know about the Trump Tower meeting before it was reported in July 2017.
"Mr. Cohen had testified before the Committee that he was not aware of the meeting prior to its disclosure in the press last summer," Burr and Warner said.
But Burr and Warner said they reached out to Cohen's legal team after CNN's report from July to see whether Cohen "stood by his testimony."
"They responded that he did stand by his testimony," Burr and Warner said.
Davis, a longtime friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton, confirmed in a CNN interview with John Berman on Wednesday that Cohen's testimony was accurate, that he did not know about the Trump Tower meeting until it was reported in the press.
But Davis added that "the reporting was a bit garbled."
"We take a good amount of responsibility under the difficulties of facing a criminal investigation and not being able to explain or correct or straighten things out that there is some truth to the news reporting, but we weren't able to do anything further in the middle of a criminal investigation, and now in the middle of waiting to cooperate with Mr. Mueller," Davis said.
In an interview with CNN's Don Lemon on Tuesday night, Davis said "there is a certain complication in [the Trump Tower story] that we were never able to correct."
Trump has accused Cohen of lying about his knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting.
"I did NOT know of the meeting with my son, Don jr. Sounds to me like someone is trying to make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam," he tweeted on July 27. (RELATED: Trump Accuses Michael Cohen Of Lying About Russian Meeting)

Burr and Warner say they have "reengaged" Michael Cohen
Aug 21, 2018 5:04 PM EDT
In a joint appearance, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr and Vice Chair Sen. Mark Warner told reporters Tuesday that they have "recently reengaged" former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen in their investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Burr said that their committee reached out to Cohen after he claimed that President Trump knew beforehand about the meeting in Trump Tower in June 2016 in which Donald Trump Jr., former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and Mr. Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, met with a Russian attorney whom Trump Jr. believed had damaging information about Hillary Clinton's campaign. Cohen said in late July that he was willing to tell Special Counsel Robert Mueller about the knowledge of this meeting.
In a joint statement, Burr and Warner suggested that Cohen's recent claims may have contradicted information that he had provided when he testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee in September.
"Mr. Cohen had testified before the Committee that he was not aware of the meeting prior to its disclosure in the press last summer. As such, the Committee inquired of Mr. Cohen's legal team as to whether Mr. Cohen stood by his testimony. They responded that he did stand by his testimony," Burr said.

The Associated Press published an interview with Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr today where the intensely corrupt Senator Burr tries to reverse all his prior positions, publications and manipulated committee findings, against President Trump.
Bruce Ohr, Chris Steele and Oleg Deripaska are keys to blowing the conspiracy wide open.
The collateral damage will consume people like Senator Burr; a corrupt never-Trumper who aligned in common cause with the conspiracy crew.

Assange should be given immunity if US wants him to testify - Rand Paul
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has spent more than 2,200 days in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, should be granted immunity from prosecution if he agrees to testify in the US, Senator Rand Paul has said.
"I think that he should be given immunity from prosecution in exchange for coming to the United States and testifying," Paul said in an interview to the Gateway Pundit website.
Paul believes that Assange "has information that is probably pertinent to the hacking of the Democratic emails that would be nice to hear." But he doesn't think Assange is likely to come and share it unless given "some type of immunity from prosecution."
Earlier this month the US Senate Intelligence Committee, investigating alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election, requested that the WikiLeaks editor testify. In a letter delivered to Assange, committee chairman Richard Burr (R-North Carolina) requested that Assange make himself available for a closed interview "at a mutually agreeable time and location."
Responding to the request, WikiLeaks said on Twitter that its team is "considering the offer but testimony must conform to a high ethical standard."
Former CIA officer and whistleblower John Kiriakou earlier told RT that he also thinks Assange needs to be given immunity by the committee because otherwise "anything he said before the committee could not be used against him." He said that many on the Intelligence Committee see the WikiLeaks founder not as a journalist and publisher, but as an enemy of the state.
According to human rights activist Peter Tatchell, the US "wants revenge" for the "embarrassment" WikiLeaks caused it, and hopes it can serve "as a deterrent to others."
"Someone who's published that information in the same way that the New York Times or the Guardian publish information, I don't think they should face a risk of 30 or 40 years in jail in the United States," Tatchell told RT in July.
There have been recent media reports suggesting that Assange will soon leave the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he's been ensconced for six years, due to worsening health and political pressure from Ecuador.
Rape allegations made against him, stemming from his visit to Sweden back in August 2010, were the main reason that he sought refuge in the embassy after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
The WikiLeaks founder maintained that he could be extradited from Sweden to the US, where he would be prosecuted for his whistleblowing activities and would not receive a fair trial. Swedish prosecutors dropped the investigation in 2017, but a British warrant for violating bail conditions still stands.

>Richard Burr and Mark Warner both faggots and have no intention of letting Julian testify
Maybe it's not about testifying so much as controlling his data…
"Some of the characters are household names, thanks to the Russia scandal: James Comey, fired FBI director. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Department of Justice (DOJ) official Bruce Ohr. Julian Assange, grand master of WikiLeaks. And American attorney Adam Waldman, who has a Forrest Gump-like penchant for showing up in major cases of intrigue.
Each played a role in the early days of the Trump administration to try to get Assange to agree to "risk mitigation" - essentially, limiting some classified CIA information he might release in the future.
The effort resulted in the drafting of a limited immunity deal that might have temporarily freed the WikiLeaks founder from a London embassy…
But an unexpected intervention by
Comey
relayed through Warner - soured the negotiations, multiple sources tell me.
Assange eventually unleashed a series of leaks that U.S. officials say damaged their cyber warfare capabilities for a long time to come.

Corrupt Republican Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr Defending FISA Application, Trying to Hide SSCI Involvement in FISA "Spygate"...
Posted on July 24, 2018 by sundance
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) is the same committee that Michael Caputo told: "God damn you to hell", and for a very good reason. The entire committee is corrupt from top to bottom; especially Chairman Richard Burr and member Marco Rubio.
The latest evidence therein comes from Chairman Burr defending the insufferably corrupt FISA application that was used against U.S. person Carter Page:
(Via CNN) [...] "I don't think I ever expressed that I thought the FISA application came up short," Burr said when asked about House Republican memo alleging FBI and Justice Department abuses of the FISA process. "There (were) sound reasons as to why judges issued the FISA."
Burr's comments once again put him at odds with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, who spearheaded the memo on FISA abuses. (read more)
The motives for Burr's duplicity here are obvious. The entire apparatus of the media has avoided the explosive revelation of the unredacted FISA application being delivered to the committee on March 17, 2017, because the consequences from admitting the truth are catastrophic to the ongoing narrative.

Facebook, Twitter executives to appear before Senate Intel panel as part of Russia investigation: Report
The Senate Intelligence Committee has invited top Internet and social media leaders to appear at a hearing as part of their ongoing Russia probe, according to a new report.
Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, and Twitter's CEO, Jack Dorsey, have confirmed they will appear before the committee in September, BuzzFeed News reported on Wednesday. However, Google's CEO Sundar Pichai has yet to say whether he will attend.
According to Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, the hearing will occur the first week in September, following a preliminary hearing "probably next week."

Google and Facebook did not respond to BuzzFeed's request for comment, and Twitter claimed the company had no information to disclose.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared before the Senate Commerce and Judiciary committees and the House Energy and Commerce Committee in April, and policy experts from Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee earlier this month.
The upcoming hearings with the social media and Internet executives is part of the Senate panel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin.
The U.S. intelligence community that determined last year that Russia agents were responsible for interfering in the election and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats warned earlier this month that cyberthreats against the U.S. could harm elections in the future.

Corrupt Republican Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr Defending FISA Application, Trying to Hide SSCI Involvement in FISA "Spygate"...
Posted on July 24, 2018 by sundance

Burr's comments once again put him at odds with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, who spearheaded the memo on FISA abuses. (read more)
The motives for Burr's duplicity here are obvious. The entire apparatus of the media has avoided the explosive revelation of the unredacted FISA application being delivered to the committee on March 17, 2017, because the consequences from admitting the truth are catastrophic to the ongoing narrative.
The committee requested and received the FISA application on March 17th, 2017. [Full Backstory Here] On the same day, the indicted Security Staffer for the committee, James Wolfe, leaked the 82 page application in a series of 82 photographic text messages (one picture per page) to his concubine reporter, Ali Watkins.
Note: why would Wolfe take pictures of fully redacted pages? He wouldn't. That implies it is likely this March 17th, 2017, copy was not heavily redacted, if at all.
What everyone seems to overlook, is how easily the intelligence apparatus handed over the FISA application on March 17th, 2017; yet, the House Judiciary Committee (Nunes), House Intelligence Committee (Goodlatte) and Senate Judiciary Committee (Grassley), had to demand and threaten to sue the DOJ in December, January and February 2018 to see it.
Why the difference in compliance?
My ongoing suspicion is that someone within the IC, likely ODNI Dan Coats and NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers, knew the Senate Intelligence Committee was fully compromised; and they used the March 17, 2017, copy production as bait in their successful leak hunt. [Ultimately culminating in the indictment of Wolfe]
I have no doubt the March 17th, 2017, produced copy has an intentionally changed date of the FISA application.
The date on the original FISC copy is October 21st, 2016. That is when it was approved by Judge Rosemary Collyer. That is the correct date. However, the Washington Post first reported on the FISA application, from leaked sources, with an origination date of October 19th, 2017.
I will bet you a donut the March 17th copy of the FISA application has October 19th, 2016, as the leak tracer within it.

www.cnn.com/2018/07/24/politics/Richard-Burr-devin-nunes-sound-reasons-for-judges-to-approve-fisa-warrant/index.html
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr told CNN Tuesday he believed there were "sound reasons" for judges to approve the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant on former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page, in yet another break between the Republican leaders of the House and Senate intelligence committees.
"I don't think I ever expressed that I thought the FISA application came up short," Burr said when asked about House Republican memo alleging FBI and Justice Department abuses of the FISA process. "There (were) sound reasons as to why judges issued the FISA."
Burr's comments once again put him at odds with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, who spearheaded the memo on FISA abuses.
Burr and Nunes have been on opposite sides of a number of key issues related to the Justice Department and intelligence community's handling of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

We really need Q's Team take on this particular:
The whole 'Insurance Policy' fiasco was completely dependent on the SENATE!
The SENATE confirms any nomination by President Trump. The make up of the 100 senators is 51 Republicans and that includes the Traitor McCain and the died in the wool Globalist Richard Burr and that doesn't include runners up Flake, Miss Lindsey, McTurtle. NOTE: The Senate has slow walked ALL of President Trumps nominations especially judges. There are 149 Vacancies 88 Nominees waiting confirmation and 42 Confirmed. President Trump has claimed, it has taken longer for him to have his "full cabinet" confirmed than any president in US history. ALSO not ONE Senator has allowed President Trump to make recess appointments and ALL IT TAKES IS ONE!!!
GOVERNMENT ETHICS "[...]C. DOJ-Specific Conflict of Interest Regulation: No DOJ employee may participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution, or who would be directly affected by the outcome.
Senate would require ANY Trump AG pick like Rudy G. or Chris Christy or Joe G. to recuse. Anyone.
RECUSAL from campaign issues (Muh! Russia) was an ABSOLUTE requirement for confirmation of ANY Trump AG pick PERIOD.
The Senate had the POWER to put this part of the 'Insurance Policy' in place.
If it was not someone personally known to President Trump it would be someone recommended and you would have gotten a backstabber like Rosenstink. Remember AG Sessions FIRED Rosey. It was President Trump who refused his resignation. link Who recommended President Trump keep that POS? Roger Stone says it was Reince Priebus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2aqz_O1how
The Globalists plan for getting a Special Counsel was set in concrete because of the make-up of the Senate. If Sessions had not promised to recuse in the hearing he would not have been confirmed. And that goes for Rudy or Christie or any other person known to Trump personally.
WHY? Because the SWAMP had to have a Special Counsel appointed that was NOT appointed by a Trump sympathizer so they could dig up a reason to have President Trump impeached. THAT WAS THE INSURANCE PLAN, And the reference to Watergate is the key that tells you that.

Here we go again. behold the resurrection of the Russian narrative.:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/rebuke-trump-key-senate-panel-endorses-finding-russia-attacked-2016-election-210143332.html
Yahoo news Michael Isikoff- notorious cabal propaganda site. How Verizon is allowed to operate this is beyond me but I digress.
The Senate Intelligence Committee, rejecting doubts conveyed by President Trump as recently as last week, has become the latest body to officially conclude that the Russian government conducted a wide-ranging campaign - including cyberattacks - to influence the 2016 presidential election.
An unclassified seven-page report, released by the committee Tuesday with full bipartisan support, was based on an extensive, year-and-a-half-long investigation into the U.S. intelligence community's January 2017 assessment that the Kremlin carried out its campaign in part for the purpose of promoting Trump's candidacy and discrediting Hillary Clinton.
The committee's conclusion: The assessment, which had been ordered by President Obama, is a "sound intelligence product" that was prepared by analysts who "were under no politically motivated pressure to reach any conclusions" and was based on a "range of all-source reporting," albeit much of it still classified.
The panel's findings are hardly a surprise. All of those who have reviewed the January 2017 intelligence community assessment - including the most senior officials of the Trump administration - have endorsed the conclusions that the Russians hacked the Democratic National Committee and undertook a wide variety of other measures to interfere in the U.S. election.
The only outlier continues to be the president who, in a tweet written shortly after the announcement he will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin this month at a summit in Helsinki, once again cast doubt on the findings of his own government.
.... "Russia continues to say they had nothing to with meddling in our Election!" Trump tweeted on June 28.
In his tweet, he went on to raise questions about the failure of the FBI under former Director James Comey ("Shady James Comey" he called him) to take possession of the DNC's server and then asked: "Why isn't Hillary/Russia being looked at? So many questions, so much corruption."
Whether the new report by the Senate Intelligence Committee will make any dent in the president's view of the matter seems doubtful, in the view of one top Russia expert. "Are you kidding?" replied John Sipher, a former deputy chief of the CIA's Russian operations division. "You think he's going to listen to the senators any more than he'll listen to his own intelligence community?"
The committee, in a press release about the report, emphasized the extent of its inquiry into the issue and the bipartisan nature of its findings. "The committee has spent the last 16 months reviewing the sources, tradecraft and analytic work underpinning the Intelligence Community Assessment and sees no reason to dispute the conclusions," said Sen. Richard Burr, the panel's Republican chairman. Sen. Mark Warner, the committee's Democratic vice chair, called the intelligence community findings "accurate and on point," adding that the Russian effort was "extensive and sophisticated." Indeed, the committee said that it has learned about new intelligence and analysis that has strengthened the case against the Kremlin's election meddling, including additional information about Russia's attempts to infiltrate state election systems and manipulate social media platforms.

Q Research General #2084 Coming In The Air Tonight Edition
Justice Department to offer additional FBI informant briefing to 'Gang of Eight'
The Justice Department and FBI will be offering an additional briefing early next week to members of the "Gang of Eight" who were briefed last month on classified intelligence information related to the Russia investigation, the Washington Examiner has learned.
According to a senior Justice Department official, the Gang of Eight will allowed to review new documents that were not provided during the original May 24 briefing.
The briefing is to answer certain questions that have been raised by both House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and other members, the official said.
"The Department and FBI believes it can provide information that is directly responsive to congressional inquiries in a manner that is consistent with its national security and law enforcement responsibilities, and is pleased to do so," said the senior Justice Department official.
The briefing is expected Monday or Tuesday, depending on lawmakers' schedules.
The Justice Department official noted that some of the documents to be allowed for review were already made available, "but not inspected by the members at the previous briefing along with some additional material."
The information was originally sought by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., and pertains to classified documents and information about the Russia investigation.
President Trump has alleged that the Obama administration sent a "spy" - i.e. confidential informant - to infiltrate his campaign during the 2016 election, and dubbed it "spygate."
After a contentious back-and-forth that included Trump-allied lawmakers threatening to hold Rosenstein in contempt, the White House announced Chief of Staff John Kelly would organize a briefing to go over the documents sought by Nunes and Gowdy.
Nunes and Gowdy were part of both May 24 briefings - the first which took place early afternoon at the Justice Department with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats. House Speaker Paul Ryan also attended the first meeting because of a scheduling conflict.
Nunes and Gowdy then joined in on the second briefing with the same officials and the Gang of Eight members on Capitol Hill later that afternoon.
At the conclusion of both briefings, top Democrats announced there is "no evidence" of a spy in the 2016 Trump campaign.
"Nothing we heard today has changed our view that there is no evidence to support any allegation that the FBI or any intelligence agency placed a spy in the Trump campaign or otherwise failed to show appropriate procedures and protocols," House Intelligence Committee ranking member Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Senate Intelligence Committee ranking member Mark Warner, D-Va., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a joint statement.
Schiff, like Nunes and Gowdy, was also allowed in both briefings.
Republican lawmakers have, in recent days, issued statements backing Democrats.
Gowdy said last week that he was not presented with any evidence in that original May 24 briefing of spying on the Trump campaign, and he believes the FBI did "exactly" what it should have done by using a confidential informant.
Ryan told reporters on Wednesday at a news conference that he agreed with Gowdy's initial assessment, "but we have some more digging to do. We're waiting for some more document requests."
"As Chairman Nunes said just the other day, if we got all the information we're looking for, we could wrap this up faster. But I have seen no evidence to the contrary of the initial assessment that Chairman Gowdy has made," he said. "But I want to make sure that we run every lead down and make sure we get final answers to these questions."
"I think that Trey Gowdy's description of the process was correct," said Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., also on Wednesday.

The revelation shines a light on how Trump tends to seize on conspiracy theories to further his arguments, blasting out unsubstantiated charges on Twitter to try to torpedo special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. On Wednesday, two top Republicans – House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr – said the FBI acted appropriately in how it interacted with a confidential FBI source who was in contact with several campaign aides, breaking with Trump's claims of spies implanted in his campaign.
The latest conspiracy theory appears to have no basis in reality.

Big Day For The Swamp - Gang of Eight, Plus Gowdy and Kelly, Meet With DOJ, FBI and DNI To Debate Transparency...
A historic set of meetings within the deepest parts of the DC Swamp is on the schedule for this afternoon with a rather unusual set of alliances, conflicts and competing interests amid both parties and all three branches of government.
After much debate, scheduling, positioning, narrative selling, re-scheduling and changes in attendees, the legislative branch and executive branch are set hold a meeting to discuss oversight, document production and investigative authority over prior intelligence and justice department abuses. It's a very odd day indeed...
...However, the representative cabinet officer of the executive branch, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, is not permitted to attend; and the subordinate cabinet officers DAG Rosenstein and FBI Director Wray, seemingly are reluctant to support current transparency requests...
...Predictions:
?If historic patterns repeat, at approximately 2:30pm Adam Schiff will excuse himself to use the restroom and place a guarded phone call to congressional correspondent Manu Raju of CNN, whereby he will leak briefing details for the lead story at the 3:00pm hour.
Awaiting Schiff's return signal, Pelosi and Schumer will run a distraction campaign discussing tea biscuits and gun control efforts, while Mark Warner uses his blackberry under the table to text message the Russian couriers waiting outside.
Mitch McConnell will find his way to the plant in the corner and begin mumbling something to Paul Ryan who will ask the Senate Majority leader if he remember to bring a mirror. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr will pause from glaring at the unfamiliar Ukrainian female staffers, strategically selected for attendance by Mark Warner, and begin guilty engagement with DNI Dan Coats and John Kelly while the room awaits Shiff's return...

Kirstjen Nielsen says she hasn't seen 2017 intelligence community assessment on Russian meddling
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said she hasn't yet seen the 2017 intelligence community assessment that said the Russian government interfered in the 2016 election to help get Donald Trump elected as president.
"I do not believe that I've seen that conclusion," Nielsen told reporters after a classified election security briefing early Tuesday.
The 2017 assessment said Russian President Vladimir Putin and his government "developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump. We have high confidence in these judgments. We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him."
The 2017 report also said the CIA and FBI have "high confidence" in the judgment, and the NSA has "moderate confidence."
"The specific intent was to help President Trump win? I'm not aware of that, but I do generally have no reason to doubt any intelligence assessment," Nielsen said when pressed.
Later, Nielsen said she believed Russia was out to create total confusion in the election.
"What we have seen the Russians do is attempt to manipulate public confidence on both sides," she said. "So we've seen them encourage people to go to a protest on one side, we've seen them simultaneously encourage people to go to that protest on the other side."
Last week, the Senate Intelligence Committee completed its own review of the 2017 assessment after 14 months, to which Chairman Richard Burr, R-NC, said he had "no reason to dispute the conclusions" of that report.
"After a thorough review, our staff concluded that the ICA conclusions were accurate and on point. The Russian effort was extensive, sophisticated, and ordered by President Putin himself for the purpose of helping Donald Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton," said Sen. Mark Warner, the committee's top Democrat.
The House Intelligence Committee, led by Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., also investigated 2016 election interference. In a report released in April, the committee said that it agreed with all of the 2017 assessment, "except with respect to Putin's supposed preference for candidate Trump."

Senate panel backs intel report on Russian meddling, after interviewing Obama officials
Senate Intelligence Committee leaders on Wednesday backed the 2017 intelligence community report that formally accused Russia of trying to interfere in the U.S. presidential election to boost then-candidate Donald Trump.
Their statements followed a final closed-door interview on the matter with top Obama administration officials. The committee, led by Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Vice Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., spoke Wednesday with former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan and former National Security Agenda Director Michael Rogers (who retired earlier this year).
Former FBI Director James Comey was invited but did not show up – skipping the closed-door session due to a "previously scheduled engagement," his attorney said. Comey, who was fired last May, has been on a media blitz in recent weeks promoting his memoir, "A Higher Loyalty," in which he is highly critical of now-President Trump.
Despite Comey's absence, the committee leaders announced afterward they were able to complete the review of the intelligence community's Russia assessment.
"Committee staff have spent 14 months reviewing the sources, tradecraft, and analytic work, and we see no reason to dispute the conclusions," Burr said in a statement. "There is no doubt that Russia undertook an unprecedented effort to interfere with our 2016 elections. I look forward to completing the Committee's inquiry and issuing our findings and recommendations to the American people."
Warner said, "After a thorough review, our staff concluded that the ICA conclusions were accurate and on point. The Russian effort was extensive, sophisticated, and ordered by President Putin himself for the purpose of helping Donald Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton."
Burr and Warner, who are leading the panel in investigating Russian meddling and coordination with Trump campaign associates in the 2016 presidential election, hope to wrap up their probe by the end of summer.
"This gives staff the month of August in all likelihood to wrap up our investigation and for staff to work intensely while we're out of here and not getting in their hair," Burr told reporters last week, referring to Senate members being on summer recess.
The U.S. intelligence community assessment titled "Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections," was released just two weeks before Trump's inauguration in January 2017-the heat of the transition between the administration of former President Barack Obama and the new Trump administration.
The report was an unprecedented collaboration among the nation's leading intelligence agencies to examine whether Russia had any influence on the 2016 presidential election. The report was drafted with the help and expertise of Clapper, Comey and Brennan, among others.
Among its findings was that Russian President Vladimir Putin "ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election" - and "aspired to help President-elect Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him."
Trump, throughout his presidency, has defended himself, his administration and his campaign against allegations that they colluded with Russia during the election period, calling the investigation a "Witch Hunt."
But on the other side of Capitol Hill, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence led its own investigation into the allegations, releasing its findings in a 250-page report and closing the majority-led probe last month. Democrats on the committee vowed to continue their investigation.
The GOP-authored report found "no evidence" that the Trump campaign "colluded, coordinated or conspired with Russia."
The panel investigated the "Steele dossier," noting that the now-infamous multi-page memo of salacious accusations against Trump was paid for as opposition research by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

"Committee staff have spent 14 months reviewing the sources, tradecraft, and analytic work, and we see no reason to dispute the conclusions," Burr said in a statement. "There is no doubt that Russia undertook an unprecedented effort to interfere with our 2016 elections. I look forward to completing the Committee's inquiry and issuing our findings and recommendations to the American people."
THIS GOOD?

Senate Intel Completes Review of Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian Activities in the 2016 U.S. Elections
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Senator Richard Burr (R-NC), Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, today held a closed hearing to complete its review of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on "Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections." The testimony of former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former Director of CIA John Brennan, and former Director of NSA Mike Rogers will inform the Committee's final report on this "chapter" of its Russia inquiry.
Chairman Burr said, "The first task in our inquiry was to evaluate the Intelligence Community's work on this important piece of analysis. Committee staff have spent 14 months reviewing the sources, tradecraft, and analytic work, and we see no reason to dispute the conclusions. There is no doubt that Russia undertook an unprecedented effort to interfere with our 2016 elections. I look forward to completing the Committee's inquiry and issuing our findings and recommendations to the American people."
"Despite the short time frame they had to prepare it, the intelligence community did a very good job with the ICA," said Vice Chairman Warner. "After a thorough review, our staff concluded that the ICA conclusions were accurate and on point. The Russian effort was extensive, sophisticated, and ordered by President Putin himself for the purpose of helping Donald Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton. In order to protect our democracy from future threats, we must understand what happened in 2016. And while our Committee's investigation remains ongoing, one thing is already abundantly clear - we have to do a better job in the future if we want to protect our elections from foreign interference."
Today's closed hearing is a bookend to the hearing the Committee held in January 10, 2017, on Russian Active Measures. Staff will finalize this chapter of the report on the Intelligence Community's work and submit it for a classification review.

Q Research General #1784 The Bridge To Cross Ahead
Would love to be a fly on the wall for this hearing. Or wait for the leaked transcripts!
Former Intelligence Officials To Testify Before Senate On May 16
To investigate Russia's impact and interference in the 2016 election, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee will hear testimonies from three former intelligence chiefs. The hearing will be held on May 16.
According to a press release issued by committee chairman Richard Burr, the hearing will include former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Chief John Brennan, and former NSA Director Mike Rogers. The assessment released by the NSA, CIA, and FBI concluded that Russian military intelligence provided hacked information from the Democratic National Committee and senior Democratic officials to the website, WikiLeaks.
Former FBI director James Comey who was unceremoniously fired by President Trump has also been invited. Comey, however, hasn't confirmed his attendance.
According to a recent report by The Hill, Burr said that the team will most likely wrap up its investigation in August.
President Trump has always called the investigation a "Witch Hunt."
On May 7, Trump took to Twitter to lambast the Democrats looking into Russian interference.
"The 13 angry Democrats in charge of the Russian Witch Hunt are starting to find out that there is a court system in place that actually protects people from injustice...and just wait 'till the courts get to see your unrevealed conflicts of interest!" he said on Twitter. He also said that the "Russia Witch Hunt" is rapidly losing credibility.
"The House Intelligence Committee found no collusion, coordination, or anything else with Russia. So now the probe says OK, what else is there? How about obstruction for a made-up, phoney crime?" he asked.
Russia too has repeatedly denied the allegations of interference, calling the accusations absurd.
However, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal broke out in March, Facebook's investigation revealed that Russians had indeed weaponized Facebook to influence the minds of the American people. The social media giant, in its recent press release, confirmed that they deactivated several fake accounts created by the Russia-backed Internet Research Agency (IRA).
Moreover, a January 2017 review, conducted while President Barack Obama was still in office, found that Russia had interfered in the months leading to the election to hurt presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump.

Mark Warner: Trump Aides' Contacts With Russians Could Be 'Coincidences,' Not Collusion
The top Democrat on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence acknowledged in a recent interview that contacts between Trump campaign associates and Russians could be "a set of coincidences" rather than collusion.
"I'm reserving my final judgement until we've seen all the witnesses we need to see, and we've gotten all the facts. So I'm going to hold off," Virginia Sen. Mark Warner said in an interview with The New Yorker's David Remnick when asked whether he believes that Trump associates conspired with the Kremlin to influence the 2016 presidential election.
Warner and North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, the Republican chair of the Senate panel, have since Jan. 2017 led an investigation into Russian interference in the election.

https:// theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/04/22/sunday-talks-explosive-interview-with-devin-nunes/
https:// youtu.be/fdJ3OZS928Q
Listen carefully to the opening statement from former CIA Director John Brennan May 23rd, 2017, during his testimony to congress. Pay very close attention to the segment at 13:35 of this video of Brennan's testimony:
Brennan: [13:35] "Third, through the so-called Gang-of-Eight process we kept congress apprised of these issues as we identified them."
"Again, in consultation with the White House, I PERSONALLY briefed the full details of our understanding of Russian attempts to interfere in the election to congressional leadership; specifically: Senators Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, Dianne Feinstein and Richard Burr; and to representatives Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Devin Nunes and Adam Schiff between 11th August and 6th September [2016], I provided the same briefing to each of the gang of eight members."
"Given the highly sensitive nature of what was an active counter-intelligence case [that means the FBI], involving an ongoing Russian effort, to interfere in our presidential election, the full details of what we knew at the time were shared only with those members of congress; each of whom was accompanied by one senior staff member."...
In the last paragraph of the testimony above, remember Brennan is describing the creation of the Clinton-Steele dossier and how it was used to generate a fraudulent October 21st, 2016 FISA Title-1 Surveillance Warrant against U.S. Person Carter Page. In hindsight, and against the known facts from research, we can clearly identify the need for the FISA warrant. The FBI and larger team of co-conspirators needed to have a retroactive legal basis for the political surveillance that was happening long before the warrant was issued.
That unlawful foundational FBI surveillance, which happened prior to October 2016, included the use of unauthorized FISA-702 queries of the NSA and FBI database for political opposition research by contractors. Again, much like the unofficial origin of the raw intelligence that began the July 2016 counterintelligence op, the FISA(702) abuse was simply more 'unofficial' use of the intelligence apparatus.
It was the FBI (Comey) and ODNI (Clapper) generating the intel reports, including the Presidents' Daily Briefing (PDB).
The CIA provided raw intel, to start the operation, and the FBI and DOJ-NSD (National Security Division) generated the raw monitoring intelligence from the characters identified by the CIA, FBI, DOJ-NSD and approved by FBI FISA warrant submissions.
The FBI were running the counter-intelligence operation and generating the actual reports that were eventually shared with the White House, Susan Rice and the Dept of Justice. Those reports, or interpretations of the report content, were leaked to the media by political operatives in the IC (and specifically FBI) throughout the deployment of the "insurance policy".
During the time James Comey's FBI was generating the intelligence reports, Comey admitted he intentionally never informed congressional oversight: "because of the sensitivity of the matter".
John Brennan was smartly (and intentionally) positioning himself out of the picture from the perspective of the illegal acts within the entire process. ODNI James Clapper while rubbing his face and scratching his head had taken the same route earlier. That would leave James Comey, Andrew McCabe and the small group within the DOJ-NSD and FBI. The CIA and DNI wanted all fingerprints to be from DOJ and FBI.
In his May 2017 testimony, Director Brennan goes on to say the main substance of those Gang of Eight briefings (2016) was the same as the main judgements of the January 2017 classified and unclassified intelligence assessments published by the CIA, FBI, DNI and NSA (intelligence community).

MPs investigating fake news to grill tech firm chiefs in US
The cross-party panel will quiz executives from Facebook, Google and Twitter on the spread of misinformation.

Last updated:08 February 2018 - 08.40am
MPs probing fake news will tech firm chiefs in the United States on Thursday.
The Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee was also using the trip across the Atlantic to meet senior senators who have been investigating allegations of Russian interference and collusion in the American presidential election won by Donald Trump.
The cross-party panel will quiz executives from Facebook, Google and Twitter on the spread of misinformation, in what will be the first ever live broadcast public parliamentary hearing of its kind outside the UK.
Ahead of the hearing, committee chairman Damian Collins was holding talks with Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Richard Burr and vice chairman Mark Warner, who have been investigating Russian interference and social media influence in the 2016 US presidential election.
In September, Facebook bowed to pressure and provided the contents of 3,000 ads bought by a Russian agency to the US committee.

Conservative MP Mr Collins defended the committee's decision to travel to America and denied reports that the tech companies had offered to fly their executives to London to save UK taxpayers' money.
Mr Collins told the Press Association: "We didn't have an offer from the tech companies to fly their people out to London to give evidence.
"In fact when we first discussed this inquiry with them they all agreed that it would be easier to get people to come and give evidence if we held a session in America.
"And what we particularly wanted was global policy leads on these issues giving evidence, not what always happens when these companies appear in front of the House of Commons committees, which is you basically get their London PR people giving evidence rather than people who are actually responsible for global policy or running bits of the business.
"And that's what we've got, so for us that was important."
Mr Collins last year criticised Facebook and Twitter over their replies to the committee's investigation.
He described Twitter's response as "completely inadequate" and accused Facebook of doing virtually "no work" to help the probe.
The committee will quiz Google vice president of news Richard Gingras, Facebook's head of global policy management Monika Bickert, and Twitter public policy director Carlos Monje, among others, at George Washington University in Washington DC.
