Jamie Raskin is showing reporters some of what the State Department IG gave to committee staff today — more details soon
We are still trying to get clarity on exactly what this is.

The IG gave attendees an about 40-page packet of what Raskin describes as conspiracy theories & propaganda about Ukraine/Biden/etc that was addressed to SecState Pompeo.

Raskin says IG doesn’t know where it came from.
Raskin says it feels like an irrelevant distraction.

The Mexican explanation of Trump's claim that they agreed to buy more American agricultural products is... interesting.

"We don’t have a specific agreement on products of that nature," Foreign Minister Ebrard said this morning, per my colleague @AnneClaireCNN.
"The most important Mexican import, or one of the most important, are grains from the U.S. And in Mexico, 1.2 million jobs would be lost. So if the tariffs are applied it would be 5% so if it goes to 10% the impact would be greater," Ebrard told reporters.
"By not applying the tariffs, I’m assuming he’s calculating it would impulse economic growth and that would increase our imports, among them grains. That’s what I believe he’s referring to."

I ask Ted Cruz if he agrees with Trump that the president can pardon himself. Cruz is silent for eighteen (18!) seconds before telling reporters it’s not a constitutional area he’s studied.
Alright, folks. Here's the audio
Big thanks to @rking_19 for prodding Cruz for an answer after we walked in silence waiting for him to respond for 15 seconds

Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) says that there was nothing in the State Dept IG meeting today pertinent to Trump's impeachable conduct..it had to do with Trump's effort to discredit Mueller evidence re RU 2016 interference. At Pompeo's behest? #WednesdayWisdom #TrumpUkraineScandal
Rep Raskin called it 'propaganda' & the IG packet contained info supporting Trump/Barr/Pompeo's efforts to reverse engineer the FBI & Mueller evidence that Russia interfered in 2016. Seems like Pompeo set this up, they're desperately trying to change the narrative. Nothing there.
No heroes emerged from the State Department today.
Deeply disconcerting that the DoS IG would serve Trump & Pompeo and not their own desperately hemorrhaging Country.
Deeply disturbing packet of disinformation with 1600 PA Ave as the return address.

Confirmed: A source familiar tells me the State Department IG briefing on the Hill is about retaliation against State Department officials who are trying to cooperate with House Democrats.
Reuters also reported that two sources familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the IG planned to brief congressional committees about recent instances of potential political retaliation by agency leaders against career official. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
Rep. Jamie Raskin said the purpose of the IG briefing today was to share information he had since May and doesn't relate to Trump's conduct re: Ukraine.

The IG turned over documents that contained mostly conspiracy theories, Raskin said.

D's in Congress have eagerly anticipated Obama appointee, Georgetown U alum's second IG report complaining that President Trump’s appointees believe there exists a #DeepState among the unelected career staffers that is determined to thwart the president’s agenda. #CoupCabal
2. State Department IG holdover's "urgent" briefing on the Hill is currently said to be devised to set new alarm narrative of "retaliation" against #DeepState Department D's. Cong Staffers are starting to exit the "classified briefing" w #Linick IG. #Anon
3. @AdamSchiff @RepCummings are trying to bully & intimidate @StateDept workers contacting them directly & telling them to not have lawyers (right out of McCabe handbook). @SecPompeo also confirms phone call. The D's are unhinged. #DeepState #PresidentialHarassment. #Linick #Q

State Government Debt Risk - a history that repeats too often!

As the work on building Amravati, the new capital city AP, comes to a grinding halt, concerns emerge about Amravati (APCRDA) bonds held by Franklin MF (~Rs. 1000 Cr) and Birla MF (Rs. ~300 Cr). Thread 1/11
During the Chandrababu Govt, Amravati received political as well as financial patronage. Now, with Jagan Reddy being incharge of the state, the project is in shambles. World Bank & ADB pulled out of the project and the Government is looking for reasons to scrap it. 2/n
The bonds issued to support the financing needs of the project were subscribed by Franklin MF and Birla MF. The bonds are guaranteed by the AP Govt but it's not sure if the Govt would keep servicing the bonds. The risk of lending to a state govt has again come to the fore. 3/11

Today is the 6th Friday of the #GreatReturnMarch. Last Friday there was a more organized attempt to reach the #GazaFence & Israeli army promised to respond harsher. Israel also declared human rights laws do not apply to the protesters. 48 killed & ~7,000 wounded so far in Gaza
Meanwhile, Giro d'Italia 2018, the biggest sporting event in Israeli history, begins today (& Israelis bitch about the traffic)
