DHS WHISTLEBLOWER UPDATE:
1/#Whistleblower #BrianMurphy's scheduled deposition before #HPSCI tomorrow has been postponed due to @DHSgov declining to grant me one-time, limited access to TS/SCI info. Without legal protection, Mr. Murphy is unable to attend but desires to do so.

2/DHS could easily approve me for one-time, limited access to TS/SCI so that I could participate in classified #whistleblower deposition. It happens all the time, including in my own past cases. Republican Administrations do it. Democrat Administrations do it.
END/That Trump Administration is refusing to do so speaks volumes. #BrianMurphy, a lawful #whistleblower, has classified information to provide to appropriate oversight authorities in accordance w/law. To say he has no "need to know", a subjective factual determination, is a joke
UPDATE on @DHSgov #whistleblower #BrianMurphy
1/Today, we have again requested that #DHS permit our client to review relevant classified info that pertains to and/or supports his protected #WBer complaint. We have asked that his review be authorized for Monday, Sept 21st.

2/We hoped that #BrianMurphy would appear before #HPSCI on 9/21/20 for classified deposition but @DHSgov has not granted legal team's access to classified info. Our access cannot be processed until DHS allows Murphy access to classified docs.

3/We have been fully cooperative & will continue to be so, while simultaneously protecting interests of our #whistleblower client. It remains his desire & intent to provide further protected, lawful whistleblower disclosures to Congress & Offices of Inspectors General.
NEW: House Intelligence Committee Chair @RepAdamSchiff requests @DNI_Ratcliffe provide key officials for previously scheduled classified intelligence briefing on election security

Per @RepAdamSchiff letter to @DNI_Ratcliffe, the request from #HPSCI is "pursuant to its unique oversight & legislative authority regarding the Intelligence Community"
"The Committee expects from ODNI the participation of Director of the National Counterintelligence & Security Center William R. Evanina, Intelligence Community Threats Executive Shelby Pierson, and relevant National Intelligence Officers" per the letter
Just got off the phone with my colleague @JRuss_JRuss, who attended today’s hearing in the Lev Parnas case in SDNY.
Igor Fruman, represented by Manafort’s old lawyer Todd Blanche, claimed privileged info was being released.
The judge said it’s #HPSCI’s issue. He won’t intervene

It’s up to House Intelligence Committee to protect any potentially attorney-client privileged material, Judge Oetken said, according to my colleague.
And what HPSCI determines is not privileged can be shared.
So the info released by the Committee remains public.

Look out for @jruss_jruss’s full write-up soon at @CourthouseNews.
Litigation of these issues, while in the weeds, is significant.

🔥BREAKING NEWS🔥I ❤️ @SpeakerPelosi for delaying sending the Articles of Impeachment so Lev Parnas can show this NEW EVIDENCE to the #HPSCI ‼️
🔥Emin Agalarov and Lev Parnas were at this @IvankaTrump event with @realDonaldTrump and Trump claimed he didn’t know Parnas 👇 Emin and Aras coordinated Veselnitskaya Trump Tower mtg🔥

THREAD - What does #HPSCI release of GOP classified memo mean?
In a partisan vote led by Chairman @DevinNunes, the HPSI voted to release a four page classified memo that details alleged surveillance abuses by @FBI & @TheJusticeDept.

HPSCI, which along with Senate counterpart (#SSCI), was formed 40 years ago in wake of #ChurchCommittee, #PikeCommittee& #RockefellerCommission, which dealt with a variety of abuses by the Intelligence Community, acted in an unprecedented manner by invoking Rule X, clause 11(f)
(3) That provision actually talks abt preventing disclosure, without consent of each person concerned, of info in possession of HPSCI "that unduly infringes
on the privacy or that violates the constitutional rights of such person."
