I see #IfRussiaSpiedOnMe is trending. Well I’ve been there done that and got a letter from the FBI for it, wrote a book, and the movie is in development. ImageImage
I spent 3 years working undercover against the GRU. My target was Oleg Kulikov, a GRU officer assigned to the UN and working for the most senior GRU officer in the states: Lieutenant General Nikolay Uvarov. Image
So I guess I can say the FBI, the Russians, and (as of late) the Chinese have spied on me. It’s a weird world.
The book was also named funniest of 2015 by @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/news/book-part…

We took my dad off being artificially fed yesterday. I had time to say what I needed to say alone w him. My mom literally texted me a list of things to apologize for. I didn’t know she kept a list or could access it so quickly. Somehow it all seems fitting. 💔❤️💔❤️ Image
He lived an amazing life of adventure and accomplishment. Last year he published a book on atheism and Islam. He was a maverick, leaving a devout Muslim family (and country) to study philosophy in the US (by way of Scotland) where, despite the odds against him, he built a life. Image
In the hospital when he told the nurses about his life and his son, the spy, they politely smiled and nodded at the sweet old man - they were shocked to learn it was true. Image

Yes, @newsweek confirmed that Cashe is set to be the first black service member since Vietnam to receive the Medal of Honor - the family is notified and the White House is working to schedule a ceremony date. newsweek.com/exclusive-fall…
Many veterans and officials privately expressed that they were concerned that if the medal had been presented under Trump that he would’ve used the ceremony to attack.
Lastly, while we couldn’t quote them, the specifics were confirmed, in writing. I’m sure other journalists who ask the same people will receive the same answer.

Really positive convo with @mayawiley campaign about her vision for NYPD and policing (invest in alternatives).
It is hard to see that the next Mayor will not have to change the culture of the NYPD and refocus their priorities. A lot of really big ideas out there.
I think @mayawiley has carved out a clear position on how she thinks the NYPD should be changed. Her knowledge of the ins and outs should be no surprise as she ran the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) politico.com/states/new-yor…

I’m looking forward to discuss my work on intelligence driven police policy for combatting gun violence with @AndrewYang this week. I welcome the opportunity to speak with any candidate.
There is an opportunity for NYC to lead in how the NYPD prioritizes taking on real crime (like guns coming into our city) AND changing its culture of profiling and targeting minority communities. I am happy to discuss these ideas with anyone who will listen.
Guns are a scourge and like many cities with strict gun laws, the guns are flowing into our city from areas with lax or no gun laws. The goal shouldn’t just be getting guns off the street but keeping them from getting to the streets. That’s where intelligence and data come in.

I plan to celebrate Mother’s Day by not asking my wife where my keys are. So I’ll be leaving my home without my keys, wallet, phone and maybe a child.
I think Father’s Day should just be all us dad on the toilet with our phones for the day.

Update: @NewJerseyOAG confirms that the assailant was arrested and is facing simple assault charges. No comment from @GovMurphy or @NJSP. Unbelievably sources tell me Callahan thinks he will now be confirmed and is acting as nothing is has happened.
Here are the emails from @NewJerseyOAG and @MCPOCAU. A source tells me they expect charges to be upgraded bc of severity of attack and wounds inflicted on the victim.
It is mind boggling that @GovMurphy will not remove Callahan. But that may have to do with any number of rumors I’ve heard of Callahan helping Murphy with personal matters. Beyond that is perplexing that he would keep him around.
