Sen. Grassley sends a 12 page polemical criminal referral of Avenatti and Swetnick to the FBI and DOJ, calling them charlatans. judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Strikes me that getting really aggressive about statements to the committee that are false or inconsistent with statements to the press could boomerang on someone whose name rhymes with shmett shmavanaugh.
We’ve seen no referral so far for these guys, a Democratic staffer points out. time.com/5408094/brett-…

You can copy the black highlighted “redactions” in the Manafort team’s filing, paste it somewhere else, and see what it says. Here’s the first one. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
The sentence @jonswaine reported is in the second redaction.
A few follow-ups for the completists among you.
-The Manafort team refiled its document to fix the redactions.
-The court has ordered the govt to file the "factual and evidentiary basis" of the five breaches it alleges next Monday 1/14; Manafort will have until 1/18 to reply

Document: SDNY indictment of Natalya Veselnitskaya documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
The government is disclosing in this indictment that they've got access to Veselnitskaya's communications with other Russians, including the Russian prosecutor general's office and Petr Katsyv.
Imagine the process of getting a warrant approved to secretly observe the privileged email traffic of a member of the defense team--who's in contact w US defense lawyers--in a case where the US govt is the opposite party. What kind of evidence must they have shown that judge?

Is NBC News proposing that federal prisoners be starved during the shutdown? Or should their pre-ordered holiday food supplies just be discarded and new, less-palatable sounding meals purchased?
everything reported in this story, including the words attributed to an intercepted email from a prisoner, flowed from one source--Joe Rojas, the guards' union president (who also happens to make a prominent appearance in the NBC piece)
WaPo printed *this* third hand without any corroboration

⚖️ @ChuckGrassley fires off very interesting letter to State Dept. and DHS. Apparently Deripaska hired Waldman to magically obtain a diplomatic passport (despite criminal ties) turns out Waldman also knows Steele based off texts with Warner. #TickTock judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Perhaps the most fascinating twist is Waldman aka Endeavor Group revealed in FARA paperwork that he would be working with Russian Foreign Minister, Lavrov. Meaning #RussiaCollusion is real and it’s with @MarkWarner 🔥#SteeleDossier
As a refresher Warner made $6million from Russian owned Yandex in 2012

Chuck #Grassley has all seven #Comeymemos
Read his January 3rd letter to see where he is going with them.
PDF>judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
"Have you initiated an investigation into the matter of whether Mr. Comey improperly disclosed classified information by providing these memoranda to Professor Richman? If so, what is the status of the investigation? If not, why not?"
Translation: Investigate Comey or mishandling classified information or I will have the IG investigate the department for not doing so.

(1) I understand the concern, but people assume investigations aren't already under way, and that Sessions & DOJ are just sitting idle.

Here are a few items that indicate this assumption is wrong.
(2) "The Justice Department's office of the inspector general revealed new details Wednesday about how it discovered the anti-Trump text messages that led to FBI agent Peter Strzok’s removal from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation."

(3) Here's the official letter regarding the Dept. of Justice OIG's discovery of the Peter Strzok's anti-Trump text messages. Does it sound like Session's DOJ is sitting idle?

reportedly, the guy who wrote the 'golden shower' dossier - here pictured with John McCain dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4…
. hmm.. recall: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4…
. so Christopher Steele first passed the info to the FBI and then John McCain passed the same info - but both from same source?
