New: It’s not just Dems interested in Trump’s business dealings. Senate Intel has homed in on Trump’s 1996 visit to Russia, & just over a week ago interviewed architect Ted Liebman who designed one of the buildings Trump proposed to Moscow city officials. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Senate investigators have been particularly interested in David Geovanis, an American businessman who helped organize the 1996 Russia trip and used to work for Deripaska. Investigators asked Liebman about the parties Geovanis threw, and whether G was Trump’s “fixer” in Russia.
Investigators also brought with them a photo of Matthew Calamari with Trump in Russia in 1996, I’m told, and asked Liebman about him. Cohen named Calamari earlier this week as someone who might know about the Trump Org’s alleged tax and insurance fraud.

Lanny Davis responds: “Despite Senator Burr’s inaccurate comment, Mr. Cohen was expected to and continues to suffer from severe post shoulder surgery pain, as confirmed by a letter from his surgeon, which was sent to Senator Burr and Senator Warner..."
continued: "The medication Mr. Cohen is currently taking made it impossible for him to testify this week. It should be noted that Mr. Cohen committed to all three committees that he would voluntarily testify before the end of the month..."
more: "We believe Senator Burr should appreciate that it is possible for Mr. Cohen to be in pain and still have dinner in a restaurant with his wife and friends.”

USPS also confirmed to me that Spanberger's SF86 was in her official personnel file, which is not standard, according to experts.
Update: Spokesman says that after re-reading my original question, he “can’t go into specifics about what was in the [personnel] file.”
(for the record, my question was: "So just to be clear, the SF86 was in the OPF?" He replied: "Yes")

Asked why he issued that statement in response to Trump's siding with Putin in Helsinki, DNI Dan Coats says: "I was just doing my job...I believed I needed to correct the record...I wish he had made a different statement but I think that, now, has been clarified." #AspenSecurity
More Coats: "The very pillar of democracy is the ability to have confidence that your leaders were elected legitimately." #AspenSecurity
Coats on Trump/Putin private meeting: "I don't know what happened in that meeting...I would've suggested [it be done] a different way, but that's not my call." Coats adds that "that risk is always there," when asked whether the Russians may have recorded the meeting.

Trump may be an intellectual moron, but he's a helluva puppet. He discredits rule-of-law democracy, divides us from allies, AND 2yrs after Russia's info warfare disrupted & shockingly tipped our election, the puppet STILL pushes Putin's big gaslight lie—none of it ever happened.
🚨Trump continues to advance Russian interests—NOT ours: Y'day, he pushed Putin's lie that Russia didn't "meddle." (Even GOP Senate Intel Cmte concluded Russia attacked our democracy to rig the election for Trump.) Today, Trump again floats Russia's claim to Crimea is negotiable.
MORE SHOCKING gifts to Putin: Trump orders Pentagon to analyze costs of withdrawing American troops from Germany—the only bulwark against a potential further Russian invasion of Europe. This during the height of #Russia's malign activity around the world. #maddow #inners

Again, from my investigation, I have concluded w/ high confidence that #Goldstone was working for a foreign intelligence agency — most likely Britain’s #MI6 — & was operating as an off-the-books liaison asset to @FBIWFO NS/CI (which is essentially @CIA’s domestic arm).
… I‘ve been warning about #Goldstone long before these revelations, which indicate a purposeful attempt to lay a false trail for a #TrumpRussia “collusion” narrative. This is what @FBI counterintelligence does (sometimes): they entrap & frame people.
… it‘s 100% transparent what #Goldstone was trying to do. Whoever was running him & telling him what to say (#MI6? @FBIWFO NS/CI? @CIA?) was engaged in extremely illegal activity: a plot to overthrow the elected United States government.
