Berman cont'd "....Collins’s hubris is a stark reminder that the people of New York can and should demand more from their elected officials, and that no matter how powerful, no lawmaker is above the law.” (3/3)

NEW: Chief Judge of the D.C. Circuit Court has ordered that all of the redacted Grand Jury material in the Mueller Report should be made available to the House Judiciary Committee and DOJ must make it available by October 30th.
MORE: Chief Judge Howell writes, "HJC has shown that it needs the grand jury material referenced and cited in the Mueller Report to avoid a possible injustice in the impeachment inquiry, that this need for disclosure is greater than the need for continued secrecy."

The FBI says the person featured in a @KTNV report in 2016, carrying 120 rounds of ammo and his AR-15 on an armed patrol of a neighborhood is the same person they arrested today:
The FBI says in court documents that Climo sketched a picture of an attack on a Las Vegas bar catering to homosexuals and he also allegedly sketched two infantry squads attacking the bar with guns from the outside and one attacking it from the inside.

💣Mole?💣

GCHQ alerted US agencies after becoming aware of TeamTrump’s contacts w/ RUs in 2015

NSA:”By mid-July 2016, ‘We knew we had a RU agent on our hands,’”

Comey in NZ in March 2016, & Queensland in April 2017 to meet with AU intel Chiefs & FVEYs respectively. #PineGap
20C:

“The FBI had a highly important intel source in or near the Trump campaign. The FBI had a mole.

Protecting that source was deemed more important in the summer of 2016 than stopping the Trump campaign, which the FBI knew or at least strongly suspected was in bed with Putin”
20C:

“But what if the mole wasn’t a person?

The FBI has long protected super-secret technical intelligence programs, above all signals intelligence, by masquerading their information as coming from (non-existent) human sources.”

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's former "right-hand man" Joseph Percoco faces sentencing this afternoon at 2 p.m.

Look out for my coverage soon.
ICYMI: Prosecutors emphasized Percoco's "significant power" throughout the Cuomo political dynasty in their sentencing memo, which seeks more than 5 years imprisonment.

The memo: documentcloud.org/documents/4910…

I will be live-tweeting today's sentencing.
The defense memo (linked below) puts the Cuomo ties up high too, but downplays the "few decisions" that scuttled Percoco's political career involving two companies with business before the state: CPV (building a fracked gas plant) and COR (developer).

NEW: Federal prosecutors charged Therese Okoumou, who unfurled an 'Abolish ICE' banner at the base of the Statue of Liberty yesterday, with three counts that add up a possible 1.5-year sentence.

I will cover her hearing an hour.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman slammed what he called a "dangerous stunt" in a statement.

In 10 years covering the courts, I have never seen such a strong statement from a U.S. Attorney directed against an activist engaged in civil disobedience.

Has anyone else?
This is usually the type of case that the U.S. Attorney lays low about while letting the assistants do the talking in court.
