NEWS: Senate Intel quietly—but unanimously—approved for release the 4th of 5 parts of its exhaustive review of the Russia’s 2016 meddling.

This installment “verified” the Jan. 2017 IC assessment on Russia’s election interference.

“The conclusion is clear,” @SenAngusKing told me.

Report is undergoing a classification review & expected to be HEAVILY redacted bc it includes info on clandestine sources & methods.

Senate Intel’s 2018 review was UNclassified & not nearly as exhaustive.
politico.com/news/2020/04/0…
MORE: The fifth & final report, which centers on the counterintelligence aspects & looks into possible Trump-Russia coordination, is “currently in the editing stages” and will undergo a classification review “soon.”

Sets stage for possible pre-Nov release

Mike Lee asks for unanimous consent for a 45-day FISA extension. Sen. Burr objects.

FISA will lapse on Sunday.
“I’ll let us go dark,” Burr says, noting that with the Senate coming back next week they can get the House-passed FISA bill passed.
Lee asks again for unanimous consent for a 45-day FISA extension.

Burr objects again.

NEWS: Ron Johnson says today’s subpoena vote on Biden/Burisma docs is postponed to allow for additional briefings.
Committee source says they still plan to issue the subpoena, even without a committee vote.

“In the meantime, we believe a subpoena to Blue Star is a bipartisan path forward.”
TO CLARIFY: Johnson appears to be altering the subpoena. Initially he wanted to go for Telizhenko directly, but now the subpoena will target the firm, Blue Star, directly, according to a committee source.

Senators appear interested in moving the House FISA deal this week ahead of the March 15 deadline.

Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) says it’ll “depend on how many procedural roadblocks some of our members might want to throw up.”

Clear nod to Rand Paul & Mike Lee.

(1/3)
Thune says Barr has NOT yet met w/ senators on this, but... “I think it’s important we not let those authorities lapse. That would have obviously been last resort and worst-case scenario, but we’ve been hoping all along they would get a deal. And evidently they have.”

(2/3)
With FISA provisions expiring on March 15, Mike Lee says of the House deal:

“Based on earlier drafts of it, I don’t like it at all. But I haven’t seen this one yet.”

NEW: @PressSec says as of today, @POTUS "designated United States Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell as Acting Director of National Intelligence...He is committed to a non-political, non-partisan approach as head of the Intelligence Community"
@PressSec @POTUS Developing: Soon-to-be acting director of US national intelligence @RichardGrenell confirms he will not be taking the job permanently... teases announcement of a permanent intel chief soon
@PressSec @POTUS @RichardGrenell Temporary though it may be, more criticism for @POTUS tapping @RichardGrenell as acting DNI

“If there was any doubt that Donald Trump values unquestioning obedience over the safety of the American people, this appointment settles the question" per Democratic Senator @RonWyden

NEW: Senate Intel Committee concludes #Russia's Internet Research Agency (#IRA) "sought to influence the 2016 US presidential election by harming Hillary Clinton's chances of success & supporting Donald Trump at the direction of the Kremlin"
intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/…
"The Committee's analysis of the IRA's activities on social media supports the key judgments of the January 6. 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment" per the report "'#Russia's goals were to...denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency'"
BUT unlike the 2017 IC assessment, Senate Intel Committee found rather than "discrediting Secretary Clinton & publicly contrasting her unfavorably to [Trump]" #Russia "was overtly&almost invariably supportive of then-candidate Trump, & to the detriment of Sec Clinton's campaign"
