NEW: DNI Ratcliffe reverses course, says he'll brief the House and Senate Intelligence Committees on election security threats. But...

He will not brief the full House and Senate. Image
Rubio/Warner have already welcomed this. But unclear if House Dems will be satisfied. They've previously argued that all members must be armed equally to deal with election threats that their constituents may face.
PELOSI previously demanded that Ratcliffe not only brief the intel committees but also the full House and Senate speaker.gov/sites/speaker.… >>> Image
Recall that in the immediate aftermath of Ratcliffe's initial decision, Trump allies — including Ratcliffe's predecessor — hailed it as an important move to prevent alleged leaks by House Intel Democrats.

Now House Intel Dems have the have the same access as before.

NEW: I just reviewed 50 *more* minutes of unaired footage documenting Nancy Pelosi’s actions on Jan. 6-7 — and these are the most revealing yet.

They include her entire 10 minute evacuation during the violence and her senior staff meeting the next day.

1) An exhausted Pelosi, after successfully certifying Biden’s victory, praised Mike Pence before saying Trump had to “pay a price” for what he did to the Capitol and country. politico.com/news/2024/08/2…
Image
2) During her evacuation, Pelosi repeatedly expressed anger at being forced to leave the floor, describing delay as a win for the rioters. And venting about assurances from security officials to at the Capitol was prepared for the worst. politico.com/news/2024/08/2…

BREAKING: A grand jury has returned a superseding indictment against Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. retaining the same four core charges against him for trying to subvert the election. Image
Read the superseding indictment here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
MORE: The biggest change appears to be that Jeff Clark, coconspirator 4, and the details about Trump's effort to commandeer DOJ in support of his effort, have been removed: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

JUST IN: It appears that Loraine Pellegrino — one of 11 Arizona Republicans who acted as false electors for Trump — has pleaded guilty to a reduced state charge, per new filings on the docket.
Image
Image
I believe she would be the first false elector in any state to accept criminal responsibility for their involvement in the scheme. Several in Georgia accepted immunity and charges in MI/NV/GA have not been resolved.
NEWS: One of Donald Trump’s fake electors in Arizona has become the first to plead guilty for her role in the scheme. She received a misdemeanor sentence of 3 years probation and community service as part of the deal.

NEWS: Jeff Clark should be suspended from the practice of law for two years, a DC bar hearing committee recommended Thursday — a steep sanction but short of the disbarment that investigators sought.

NEW: Jeff Clark's "recklessness risked disabling the Justice Department, throwing the Presidential election into chaos, and even potentially causing riots in the streets," a D.C. bar panel ruled Thursday, recommending the 2-year suspension of his license." politico.com/news/2024/08/0…
Image
The panel found that Clark repeatedly ignored the warnings from virtually every senior DOJ and WH official of the catastrophic consequences his letter to GA would have on the country — and that he skipped opportunities for due diligence offered by bosses. politico.com/news/2024/08/0…
