#Pompeo ought to consult his attorney before speaking at the #RepublicanNationalConvention

@POGOBlog obtained internal @StateDept memorandum spelling out #HatchAct and dept policies.

Look how crystal clear the legal memo is.👇

@schwellenbach's analysis: pogo.org/investigation/…
2. Multiple lawyers like this👇signing off on Pompeo's speaking at RNC is not an indication of lawfulness. It's more an indication he recognizes the need to get legal cover.

Question to ask: Which lawyers actually signed off? The political appointees?
3. Link to the full Department of State legal memo of December 3, 2019, which states in bold print for emphasis:

"Senate confirmed Presidential appointees may not even attend a political party convention or convention-related event"

I just published with @AshaRangappa_:

"Manafort’s Reward"

Senator #RonJohnson's staff started work with Russian disinformation operative even BEFORE Trump's call with Ukraine President.

It worked in accord with Manafort's and Giuliani's plan.

justsecurity.org/72148/manafort…
2. Johnson told WaPo (@eliseviebeck @DDaltonBennett): “no recollection of the president mentioning Rudy Giuliani” at May 23 Oval Office meeting.

Others in meeting who testified Trump said to work or talk with Giuliani:

Sondland
Taylor
Volker
Morrison

Johnson somehow forgot.
3. We write: "Giuliani, picked up the torch on the Ukraine election interference idea ... Over months Giuliani “'consulted several times with Manafort through the federal prisoner’s lawyer.'"

Significant moment in #Clinesmith hearing.

Judge: Do you agree when you added Carter was "not a source" "you knew such a statement was not in fact true"?

Clinesmith: "At the time I BELIEVED THAT THE INFORMATION I WAS PROVIDING IN THE EMAIL WAS ACCURATE ..."
2. Clinesmith in full:

"At the time I BELIEVED THAT THE INFORMATION I WAS PROVIDING IN THE EMAIL WAS ACCURATE but I am agreeing that the information I inserted into the email was not originally there and that I inserted that information."
3. Upshot: It furthers the point that the the offense, and facts to which just Clinesmith agreed, are NOT about his knowingly and falsely saying Page was not a CIA source, and that Page was one.

Durham's case is oddly reduced down to Clinesmith altering the email document.
