1. I think this story is just touching on the what the intelligence committee can and may do to successfully end Trump's presidency. First, this article addresses the Judiciary Committee working with the House Intelligence Committee to deal with classified materials related to
2. the Mueller grand jury. The first thing to note is that the Mueller Report lacks any notation that indicates it contains classified redacted information. Moreover a grand jury made up of ordinary citizens has a very difficult time dealing with classified information.
3. The IC is concerned with protecting the sources and methods and the contents of intercepted communications may not be as critical to keep secret but the adversary who is under surveillance may get an idea that the are being intercepted when the intercept is released.
4. So the DOJ uses agents to give summary testimony before the grand jury regarding what is on the intercept. I'm almost 100% that if Trump's national security adviser a former three-star intelligence general and head of the DIA was clueless that Trump was clueless too.
5. I reported starting in May 2016 that FISA authorities will get Trump. I can foresee a summary that is released publicly for the trial with the members of the Senate played the intercepts in a SCIF. Because Congress has less restriction than other government employees you can
6. almost bet it will leak. And Trump conspiring with the Russians will be exposed. But why didn't Mueller report on this? You might remember that his report details how the FBI Counter Intelligence investigators were embedded in the Mueller team but did not report to him.
7. They took notes and reported to their team. Now that Coats is gone and the conduct of the ODNI is in doubt I expect all that evidence is already secured. Waiting for the grand jury material that will contain the less secret summaries.
8. There's one thing that needs to be done before all this kicks off. #MoscowMitch must be completely exposed and neutralized.
How's the Deripaska deal coming Mitch?😎
