i was a cool 20 minutes late but i made it! house judiciary chairman bob goodlatte makes it clear that today’s DOJ IG hearing with rosenstein & wray will focus on russia/FISA/documents requests
gowdy beard watch: it has been shaved.
FBI director christopher wray tells house judiciary that the FBI has had "100 employees working day and night" to comply with congressional document requests
DAG rosenstein on mueller investigation: "I assure can assure you, if it were appropriate for me to recuse, I will be happy to do so" - answers with a smile & a chuckle
NEW - rosenstein to paul ryan yesterday: "The resolution fails to acknowledge the extraordinary – and unprecedented – efforts that Trump Administration officials and other Department employees are making to comply with a considerable volume of oversight requests."
trey gowdy asks no questions to rosenstein & wray as he's in full benghazi mode, finishes loudly about mueller/russia: "whatever you got, finish it the hell up because this country is being torn apart."
JIM JORDAN: "why are you keeping information from congress?"
ROSENSTEIN: "i don’t agree with you..."

jordan says that's isn't what is going to happen "in a few minutes" (when house votes on resolution)
it just got a little contentious, as swalwell interrupted jordan's badgering of rosenstein about documents

now rosenstein and jordan going back and forth about documents and redactions
SIREN-- the house is now voting on the resolution jordan was referring to, and house judiciary is in recess for those votes
inject this into my veins
BREAKING: house adopts resolution demanding DOJ documents, 226-183. story TK
JORDAN “In a few minutes, Mr. Rosenstein, I think the House of Representatives is gonna say something different."

ROSENSTEIN: “I don’t agree with you … If they do, they will be mistaken."

well, the house passed the resolution: washingtonexaminer.com/news/house-pas…
ROSENSTEIN, when asked about trump's robert mueller tweets, "I'm not a democrat and I'm not angry."
please take a drink if you thought ‘fast and furious’ would be mentioned in this hearing

PAUL MANAFORT & SPECIAL COUNSEL have reached a plea deal, per a criminal information filed in DC. he's pleading guilty to conspiracy against US and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
manafort is due in DC federal court at 11am, where judge amy berman jackson still has to accept the deal. it's also still unclear if he is going to cooperate with robert mueller's team.
can you imagine being the jurors in manafort's alexandria case? you spend 3 weeks of your life on this only for him to plead guilty less than a month later.

NEW- US district judge tanya chutkan was denied a motion from maria butina's defense to release her from jail pending trial, citing a high risk of flight
the judge also imposed a gag order on both sides, saying comments from butina's lawyer robert driscoll "crossed the line." the judge said they make it even harder to find a jury pool that would ensure a fair trial in DC
the judge also scolded federal prosecutors for last week's misstep, when the DOJ said they were "mistaken" by describing the messages butina sent about sex as being serious in offering sex for employment; judge said she was "dismayed" someone at the DOJ read the messages that way

1. On July 17, the House Judiciary Committee held a 3-hour hearing to examine the content filtering practices of social media companies. Executives from Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter were invited to provide testimony and answer questions from the committee.
2. Over 210 million Americans use social media. Even the Supreme Court called it a Constitutional right. Thus, it's staggering that only a few executives in Silicon Valley decide what 2/3 of America is allowed to talk about. This a growing concern to Congress.
3. So who are the employees at these companies controlling what America is allowed to say? Nobody knows.

What is the process for censoring or banning? Nobody knows.

What training materials do they use? Nobody knows.

Are they men, black, religious, American, etc? Nobody knows.

1. MAGA Twitter Peeps, this is really important. Really, really, important. I'll try to explain why.

2. Tonight the DOJ has agreed to allow dozens of congressional members the ability to review the full and unreadacted content of the FBI/DOJ FISA Title-1 Surveillance application used against Carter Page. scribd.com/doc/375730245
3. This is a big deal because *MOST* congress-men/woman and Senators don't actually read this stuff. They send their cleared staff.

Where is #AndrewMcCabe? Let's first follow where we are in the process of #ReleaseTheMemo: (Source TheLastRefuge)
Once the House Intelligence Committee votes to declassify the four-page memo, the White House, National Security Adviser (H.R.
McMaster) and National Security Council will have five days to review the content. The White House will likely have a brief review by the NSC and the Office of Legal Counsel of the content, and then issue approval for the release.
Because the memo contains details of FBI and DOJ surveillance, Donald Trump (now POTUS) is both the victim and the head of law enforcement in charge of investigating the illegal action that created the victim.
