Happening now: FBI Director Christopher Wray is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, including about the investigation into Russian interference. c-span.org/video/?462772-…
.@SenFeinstein notes that Wray sounded the alarm about Russian interference in 2018 as a "dress rehearsal" for 2020. You can read about that interference in the DOJ's indictment of Elena Khusyaynova, a Russian operative in those efforts:

@SenFeinstein Senator Mike Lee is dredging up old conspiracy theories about bias within the FBI impacting the Russia investigation—more than a year after a report from the DOJ's inspector general found that there was no such impact.

.@SenAmyKlobuchar highlights how Trump has repeatedly questioned the intelligence community's conclusion on Russian hacking. This week's episode of @AssetPodcast breaks down that and other ways Trump has advanced Russia's interests in office: theassetpodcast.org/episode/payoff/
.@ChrisCoons points out that Congress allocated $380 million for improving election infrastructure in 2017—and zero in 2018. That's because Trump's accomplices in Congress decided to hold it hostage. washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
Senator Josh Hawley suggests that the FBI opening a counterintelligence investigation into a sitting president is unprecedented.
That's because it's unprecedented to have president whose campaign colluded with a foreign power attacking American democracy. themoscowproject.org/dispatch/what-…
.@SenatorLeahy notes that the investigation into the Trump Organization closed with only charges against Cohen. Reminder: Investigators reportedly dropped contact with the Trump Org. five months ago—right around when Barr took over the Justice Department.
.@SenWhitehouse asks Wray about the role of shell corporations in foreign election interference. For more on where they fit in, check out our report from way back in February 2018: americanprogress.org/issues/democra…
.@SenWhitehouse also presses Wray on the importance of "following the money." Here's our report from December on the vast amounts of unexplained Russian money that swirled around the 2016 election: americanprogress.org/issues/democra…

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's testimony is about to begin. Watch it live here: c-span.org/video/?462628-…
.@RepJerryNadler notes that, contrary to Trump's continual attacks, Mueller and his team were essentially silent through their investigation—aside from the 37 indictments and seven guilty pleas they secured.
.@RepJerryNadler: "Any other person who acted in this way would have been charged with crimes."
More than 1,000 former federal prosecutors agree: medium.com/@dojalumni/sta…

@maxbergmann @RepAdamSchiff .@WStachelberg: "The president has lied over and over again in claiming the investigation found no collusion, and tomorrow, the American people will learn what Mueller truly uncovered."
The Russia investigation has uncovered more than 270 contacts and 38 meetings between Trump's team and Kremlin-linked operatives—none of which were reported to the FBI. That includes sharing polling data with an alleged Russian spy. Read the full list: themoscowproject.org/explainers/tru…

FBI Director Christopher Wray is now testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee

His opening statement was a tribute to fallen members of law enforcement nationwide, and a request that Americans pay attention to what is going on

"...as neighbors try to intervene"

Disrespect for law enforcement just keeps getting worse

If AG Barr has access to all classified material, how does [MUELLER] navigate?
If [MUELLER] provides FALSE and/or MISLEADING testimony, will AG Barr be forced to DECLAS all documentation to ensure full public awareness of the TRUTH?
If [MUELLER] defers to the original report but D's / FAKE NEWS push a false narrative 'knowing majority of the public did not watch the actual hearing' will AG Barr be forced to DECLAS all documentation to ensure full public awareness of the TRUTH?
[Be Ready], [MUELLER].
[Be Ready], [JC].
[Be Ready], [Traitors one & ALL].
Thank you for playing.
FISA goes both ways.

Here is an actual clause of the #USConstitution:

“...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

US Constitution, Article VI, Clause 3

#buescher
#nominee
#Nebraska
Suppose that Article VI had a further Clause, Clause 4, that stated, “no racial identity shall ever be the basis for a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
Now, such a clause would prohibit the President from granting or withholding an office based on racial identity, and, in like vein, would prohibit the Senate from withholding consent to a nomination, or granting it, on the basis of racial identity.

Stand by for an instructive example of how false narratives and talking points are amplified by inaccurate media coverage. I will chain the tweest as replies to this one for those who are interested. #Wray #Horowitz #NoBias
It’s more reason you cannot necessarily believe what’s reported and repeated, no matter how many are reporting and repeating it. Make up your own mind. You can see for yourself.
Here’s a link to today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. I’ll include time code notes on the subsequent tweets.
