#CapitolRiot SCOOP: A law enforcement official confirms @CBSNews the identification of individuals using military or “small unit tactics” is among the "highest priorities" for DC US Attorney's Sedition Task Force. Video footage + eyewitness accounts of the apparent use of these
tactics (trained to military + law enforcement) drew immediate scrutiny from investigators. CBS News has learned these tactics were witnessed both OUTSIDE + INSIDE the Capitol Building. NOTE: These tactics are commonly used in hostile, unknown environments to clear rooms + reach
mission objectives. They can include hand signals or physical contact, to unify the group + communicate directions. These are TRAINED behaviors (my emphasis) @USAO_DC #OriginalReporting

Statement from @MarkSZaidEsq @CBSNews “This so-called internal review DHS OGC conducted was a set-up from the beginning in order for Chad Wolf to cover his own failures and retaliate against Mr. Murphy, who is the highest ranking lawful whistleblower in decades. Mr. Murphy's
performance appraisals for his entire tenure at DHS are virtually stellar with the highest marks possible, including financial performance bonuses. Acting Deputy Secretary Cuccinelli himself signed off on Mr. Murphy's most recent favorably performance appraisal that contradicts
this alleged internal review” +
"Our understanding is DHS OGC interviewed a very select and intentionally targeted number of people, including those who were disciplined by Mr. Murphy. We provided DHS with nearly two dozen names of senior level I&A employees who volunteered to

In other news....While @DHSgov IG investigation is ongoing, @CBSNews has learned a five-month review by DHS career attorneys, interviewing +80 witnesses, has concluded + recommended against the return of Brian Murphy to head I&A (Intelligence & Analysis) for reasons that go
beyond controversy over intelligence products including journalists #Portland. A source familiar with internal review confirms former Acting Secretary Wolf has left the decision to incoming administration. January 11, 2021 Memorandum from Wolf to Alejandro Mayorkas reads in part,
“...the OGC review strongly encouraged DHS leadership to refrain from allowing Mr. Murphy to return to I&A. This recommendation was based not only on the concerning intelligence activities that occurred in the 3 months that Mr. Murphy served as Acting Under Secretary, but also on

#SpecialCounselDurham #Flashback On this day, December 28, 2016 IG Horowitz found then @FBI Deputy Director McCabe wrote to senior intel official arguing Steele dossier should be included in the "main body" of the Intelligence Community Assessment or ICA -- the most consequential
intelligence product about Russian 2016 election interference. McCabe wrote, "We oppose CIA's current plan to include it (Steele dossier) as an appendix; there are a number of reasons why I feel strongly that it needs to appear in some fashion in the main body of the reporting."
NOTE: IG Horowitz found "McCabe's view did not prevail" though he argued 3 points, "President Obama had requested 'everything'" + Steele reporting not vetted but "consistent with information from other sources" (circular reporting) + it had been "widely circulated throughout

#Intelbriefings VIA HILL POOL @alanhe GOP Senators @SenJohnThune + @JohnCornyn that it ‘probably makes sense’ for former VP Biden to receive intel briefings now as ‘challenges play out’ Thune: Well, I think that it probably makes sense to prepare for all contingencies” + “as
these election challenges play out in court, I don't have a problem with + I think it's important from a national security standpoint, continuity + you've seen other members suggesting that. I think that makes sense." Reporter Question to Sen Cornyn: Do you think that he should
get the level of briefing of PDB, the presidential daily briefing books? Cornyn: Whether he actually gets the product itself, I think the info needs to be communicated in some way. I’m on the intelligence committee, we don’t get the PDB but we get products, intelligence products

#Election2020 Latest update from senior @CISAgov official, FBI is investigating robocalls urging voters to stay home on election day. Official said "this (is) more of a voter intimidation, voter suppression tactic" + emphasized that it happens every election. Official would not

best disinfectant for those types of operations." There continue to be technical issues, but official said "folks are resolving them as quickly as possible." Overall, official said "frankly, we haven't seen a whole bunch new. This just looks like any other election day + really
