The CIA got an early dose of Trump’s disinterest in 2017, when Trump interrupted a highly classified briefing at his NJ club to ask for a malted milkshake. A memorable anecdote, courtesy of @NatashaBertrand
The 'smoking gun' email in the NY Post story — even if it is authentic, given the massive red flags — doesn't actually say what the story says it does.
Again, stipulating that the suspect email is real, there's literally nothing in it that says Joe Biden met with a Burisma adviser.
"The opportunity to meet," may just as easily have meant Hunter promised a meeting in the future that may never have occurred.
Lastly, if such a meeting occurred, it should be pretty easy to pinpoint with accuracy when and where, which would seem an important part of reporting a story like this before blasting out the innuendo — especially given the suspect actors involved.
NEW: PELOSI and Rep. RASKIN plan to introduce legislation tomorrow to establish a commission under the 25th Amendment charged with evaluating the president's mental/physical capacity.
RASKIN has already filed very similar legislation. It creates a congressional body (which is actually contemplated in the 25th amendment itself) made up of doctors, psychiatrists and former executive branch officials to make judgments if a president's health is failing.
Here is that Raskin bill, which tomorrow's 25th amendment announcement will be based on: congress.gov/bill/115th-con…
NEW: The FBI has unsealed details of an alleged plot by militia members to kidnap Gov. WHITMER — the conspirators had staked out her vacation home, obtained explosives and other equipment, preparing to execute it before the electon.
The FBI first began tracking the militia involved in early 2020, but the plot came together by June. Confidential sources recorded conversations among the participants and gave the FBI access to their communications
COMEY sworn in for his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning.
GRAHAM keeps misstating Carter Page's relationship with the CIA. He was an "operational contact" which is different than a "source" or someone being "tasked" by the CIA.
Comey keeps pointing this out.
Here is the explicit distinction, as explained in the Horowitz report. Being an operaitonal contact "does not allow for operational use of a U.S. person or tasking of that person." justice.gov/storage/120919…
