Much excitement today about Trump Tower meeting. It's perhaps the Trump-Russia episode we know most about, thanks to Sen. Grassley. Senate Judiciary Cmte has released transcripts of bipartisan interviews with several key figures... 1/3 ow.ly/BJ1m30lh5Xt
At Senate site, you can read interviews with Simpson, Trump Jr., Kaveladze, Samochornov, Akhmetshin, and Goldstone, plus written answers from Veselnitskaya. 2/3 judiciary.senate.gov/press/releases…
Lots of info there. To take one example, you can see that the Russians did talk about 'adoption,' because when they said 'adoption,' they meant 'Magnitsky.' For writeup of what the testimony said, see here: 3/3 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

Trump's speech: To win argument with Democrats, Trump will have to convince Americans there really is crisis at border. Tonight he'll argue there is two-part crisis: humanitarian and security. 1/8 ow.ly/KAFm30neQ7d
Trump, administration must convince Americans that 1) crisis exists; 2) border situation has changed dramatically in last year; and 3) Democrats' solutions are based on out-of-date understanding of problem. 2/8 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
But look at border apprehension numbers. One million a year in 2006. Last year, 396k. Yes, administration predicts will rise to 600k this year. But even if true, still down from Bush years. So there's a crisis *now*? 3/8 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

Back in Gang of 8 days, way to win GOP support was to throw in lots of high tech--sensors, drones, infrared--to create 'virtual' fence instead of actual physical border barrier. Now, Dems talking same stuff... 1/4 ow.ly/pe3O30naw9P
Still, Dems appear open to 'enhanced fencing'--higher, better fencing, possibly pedestrian replacing vehicle fencing--plus altogether new barriers. But offering it within package of high tech stuff. 2/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
One obvious possible resolution: GOP gets new fencing, improved in existing areas and new in currently un-fenced areas, while fence opponents crow about all the new high-tech gadgets they bought. 3/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

Many of you have happily pointed out this story to me. Aha! The dossier is true! What can I say? Either these two McClatchy reporters have huge story or they're really, really wrong. ow.ly/uuU430n7osC 1/5
In April, same two reporters said Mueller had other evidence Cohen was in Prague. Interesting thing: No other journalists, including well-sourced ones covering Mueller, replicated story. 2/5
Now, McClatchy cites sources with 'foreign intelligence connections' saying there's cell phone evidence Cohen was in Prague at time dossier said he was; also, wiretap of Russians confirming Cohen presence. 3/5

THREAD! 1-A number of experts are saying the recent @nytimes @ScottShaneNYT @MarkMazzettiNYT BIG #Trump-#Russia piece is one of the best pieces of journalism in recent years, and IT SURE IS. I had three levels of reaction to this as someone who has closely analyzed this topic.
2-1st, I was OVERJOYED that 1 of the best newspapers FINALLY gave 2 of their best journalists go-ahead & space to cover the #Trump-#Russia the only way it can be properly understood: a deep-dive detailed look at big, overall picture over time. Our society is better off for it!
3-2nd, I was SUPER frustrated generally cuz, 2+ years after topic should've obvi been covered this way only @NYTimes among biggest outlets has done this. W/ smaller respected outlets. Even 1 year into it only @aminterest/@submergingmkt, @newrepublic/@craigunger had. Circa 0 since

1. So, Agalarov remembers talking to Don jr. before the Trump tower meeting. And he says so in an interview with Vice News. Trump Jr. lied. Again. Like father, like son.
2. A full transcript of Jr's testimony to the Senate Judiciary Cmte was released in May: it showed that Agalarov called Jr, Jr then received a call from "a blocked number" (we know that was Trump himself, unless one wants to not understand) and then he called Agalarov back.
3. Despite this, Jr. kept insisting that "I do not recall speaking to Emin. It is possible that we left each other voice mail messages. I simply do not remember". Which is amazing and an incredibly ridiculous excuse. But let's go on.

2.Both Kryuchkov and #Gorbachev faced #Reagan as #President, and he was in the #SovietUnion´s eyes regarded as a very strong leader, the opposite of #Carter of #Ford, when dealing with them.
