BREAKING: The House Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed Rick GATES and Michael FLYNN
The subpoenas seek documents and testimony from both men, who were crucial cooperators for special counsel MUELLER.
In his letters to Flynn and Gates, SCHIFF emphasizes that both have committed to cooperate with the government. Though that typically means prosecutors, he's suggesting that judges may look favorably on any decision to aid Congress.

politico.com/story/2019/06/…
Flynn, though, has moved in the exact opposite direction -- firing his veteran attorneys and hiring a Fox News firebrand lawyer who has bashed Mueller and the judge in his case. Chances of cooperating with Dems? What's less than 0?

politico.com/story/2019/06/…
GATES had signaled through his lawyer in March that he was willing to cooperate with Congress but wanted to finish his cooperation with prosecutors first. Schiff appears to have run out of patience.

Here's Gates' lawyer's March 5 letter >>>

NEW: NADLER tells us Hope HICKS’ blanket refusal to talk about obstruction of justice was the gift Dems needed to demonstrate to a why MCGAHN should be forced to testify.

The suit against him is being drafted and will be filed imminently, Nadler says: politico.com/story/2019/06/…
Democrats were livid about Hicks’ performance in the moment, but Nadler told us in an interview that he anticipated — and welcomed — her outright refusal to talk because it laid out perfectly for a judge what the WH’s “absolute immunity” claim means. politico.com/story/2019/06/…
Nadler says when a court sees that the immunity claim extends as far as where Hicks’ desk was located in the West Wing - and her conversations with non-WH officials - the argument against McGahn will be easier to make. politico.com/story/2019/06/…

BREAKING: The White House intervenes to block Hope HICKS from answering questions 155 times, per a 273 page transcript compiled by the House Judiciary Committee.
Two of the only questions the White House let Hicks answer about her tenure: was it sunny or cloudy on your first day? And where did you normally eat lunch? politico.com/story/2019/06/…
HICKS said she last spoke to Trump in April but has spoken to him 5-10 times since leaving the White House. politico.com/story/2019/06/…

"While the Committee understands that your cooperation agreement with the Department of Justice only requires you to testify for the Department,..."
"...the Committee is disappointed that you do not view your cooperation more broadly as an obligation to assist the United States of America, and not merely the Department of Justice.”

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

WHOAAAAA! #BREAKING #Russiagate

Michael Caputo just said a former GOVERNMENT contractor of a Government agency tried to give him, through an intermediary, Hillary Clinton's emails in May 2016. Phone calls were going on at #Trump Tower at the time.
Caputo said he didn't want to take Hillary's emails because he thought there would be classified info in them and might be illegal, so he stopped contact. Then in July 2016, they tried to give him the emails again.
He said at the time, he never told anyone else about it because he had just joined the #Trump campaign and thought people would think he was strange for coming on and telling them he had her emails.

#BREAKING: The House Intelligence Committee has released its final — yet woefully incomplete — report on Russian interference.

docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG…
This is an actual excerpt from the House Intelligence Committee's final report.

So.. I thought the Trump transition team denied reports that they tried to establish a backchannel? Yet, House intel cmte is citing those efforts to refute the idea of collusion during the campaign.
Also, efforts to establish a backchannel during the transition period don't preclude 'collusion' during the campaign. It's not at all unlikely that these efforts reflect greater awareness on the part of Trump & co that their comms w/ Russian officials were under scrutiny.
