BREAKING: A former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst has been charged w/providing journalists top secret & classified national defense info, incl. secrets related to an unnamed foreign country’s weapons systems, prosecutors in VA announced today.
Story to come @CourthouseNews.
@CourthouseNews Henry Frese, 30, was arrested this morning at a DIA facility in Reston, Va., according to the FBI.
According to the indictment, the counter terrorism analyst sometime in mid-April 2018 accessed an intelligence report “unrelated to his job duties”...
that contained the sensitive information about a foreign country’s weapons systems. He accessed it again in late April and then messaged a reporter prosecutors only identified as “Journalist 1.”

New statistics reported Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection show that roughly 1 million migrants have been arrested at the southern border in the last year, the most in over a decade.

@CourthouseNews
@CourthouseNews Starting this week, CBP acting commissioner Mark Morgan also said the Trump admin will begin implementing restrictions on asylum claims at the southern border after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed them to take effect last month.
The policy generally makes people who arrive at the southern border ineligible for asylum unless they first sought asylum in a country they passed through on their way to the United States.
Background on that from my D.C. colleague @ByTimRyan

Swung by the @Newseum today. The Berlin Wall exhibit sticks with you, as does the memorial exhibit for slain journalists. Very sad to see this necessary space close Dec. 31. Go while you can.
My favorite exhibit was the MASSIVE collection of front pages spanning hundreds of years of major world events. @Newseum

#Sondland better watch his step.

Hill testified, under oath, that his statements in July 10 meeting were understood to mean pushing Ukraine to investigate Bidens.👇

WaPo reported Sondland plans to say he didn’t realize Biden connection. He may want to revise that before Thurs.
Here’s the WSJ article in @lrozen’s tweet describing Fiona Hill’s testimony (great scoop by @rebeccaballhaus @aviswanatha
@nataliewsj):

And here’s the Post’s story from Saturday describing what Sondland had planned (at least before Hill’s testimony, that is) to tell Congress (scoop by @byaarncdavis and @John_Hudson):

A note on #impeachment -

In a court of law, under non-presidential circumstances, impeachment is a tool litigation attorneys use to discredit the opposing side's witnesses at trial. When said witness takes the stand under oath attys. present evidence contrary to what the witness
claims. This weakens the other side's case by discrediting impeached witnesses's testimony. Once a witness has been impeached - by presentment of inconsistent testimony - the judge/jury can no longer use the impeached witnesses's testimony in reaching a verdict.
Simply put, they aren't trustworthy. In the case of Presidential impeachment that broad definition of impeachment applies, but the impeachment tool is used for a very different purpose. Under the Constitution, a sitting President cannot be tried in a court of law for anything.

THREAD: I invoked Rod Serling & Twilight Zone when the news hit about #Trump asserting #ExcutivePrivilege over documents underlying #MuellerReport. I thought I should explain given your questions about US v Nixon & more.
First, there are two different issues to sort through. 1. grand jury material redacted in #MuellerReport and the grand jury material - documents - the report relies on; and 2. documents like McGahn's notes that Mueller refers to in the report that may exist outside of grand jury
House Dems are basically arguing they can see grand jury material behind closed doors (not public) without a court order. The Congressional Research Service notes that 2 court decisions agree with them & others do not. This sets up a court battle. fas.org/sgp/crs/secrec…

Russia collusion bombshell: DNC lawyers met with FBI on dossier before surveillance warrant💥🔥💥⚖️
Former FBI general counsel James Baker met during the 2016 season with at least one attorney from Perkins Coie, the DNC’s private law firm. 🤭😮🤯thehill.com/hilltv/rising/…
“This is a bombshell that unequivocally shows the real collusion was between the FBI and Donald Trump’s opposition — the DNC, Hillary and a Trump-hating British intel officer — to hijack the election, rather than some conspiracy between Putin and Trump,” 🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯
Baker was interviewed by lawmakers behind closed doors on Wednesday. Sources declined to divulge his testimony, other than to say it confirmed other evidence about the contact between the Perkins Coie law firm and the FBI.
