NEW @FreeBeacon:
Senate Dems tapped Soros-funded operative to investigate Trump-Russia links that are now at the center of the Michael Sussmann indictment.

Court filings show a staffer for Sen. Jack Reed had Daniel Jones analyze the Alfa Bank data.

freebeacon.com/democrats/sena…
An unidentified source provided Kirk McConnell of the Senate Armed Services Committee with the Alfa Bank data. The Committee set up a meeting between Jones and a rep for the source of the data. Unclear if Sussmann was involved here.
Another interesting tidbit: Alfa Bank has subpoenaed Mickey Dickerson, a former Obama White House tech who was involved in the Reid Hoffman-funded disinformation effort during the 2017 Alabama Senate special election. Dickerson worked with a group called New Knowledge on that
Dan Jones also happened to have paid New Knowledge ~$500k for research in 2018. More: Senate investigators also used New Knowledge's research in investigation of Russian active measures. So, Senate Dems repeatedly used analysis/research from political operatives

There it is
New and interesting information in the Sussmann indictment. His tech executive client allegedly accessed non-public info about Trump, and they coordinated all of this with agents of the Clinton campaign. Are the walls closing in?
This is huge. A tech exec who Sussmann represented discussed faking a link between the Trump Org and Alfa Bank. The exec and other researchers also doubted that there were nefarious contacts involving Trump Org, but Sussmann would later claim to FBI and media that there were

NEW @FreeBeacon:
Records show Gavin Newsom received fancy wines from David Boies, the lawyer who hired private spies to smear Harvey Weinstein's accusers.

This adds some context to Rose McGowan's recent allegations about Boies and Newsom's wife.
freebeacon.com/elections/news…
McGowan told @RubinReport that Newsom's wife, Jen Siebel Newsom, contacted her in '17 at Boies's behest to get her to back off Weinstein.
Siebel Newsom joined the chorus of actresses who lambasted Weinstein after allegations against him went public. She also blasted his "legal machine" for aiding the cover-up. huffpost.com/entry/harvey-w…

NEW @FreeBeacon:

Kurt Campbell was a director and Jack Lew is chairman of the National Committee on US-China Relations, a corporate-backed, pro-China business league that works closely w/ Chinese influence groups. freebeacon.com/biden-administ…
Two officials with the National Committee spoke at an event in January hosted by the China-US Exchange Foundation, an alleged front group for the Chinese Communist Party.
The National Committee calls itself an educational nonprofit that seeks dialogue w/ China. But its almost entirely backed by huge corporations that seek business in China, like Blackstone, Chubb, Citigroup, Disney and Facebook.

NEW:
By a 4-2 vote, the FEC determined that the DNC and ex-contractor Alexandra Chalupa did not violate campaign finance laws by seeking help from the Ukrainian government.

3 Republicans and 1 Democrat sided w/ DNC
freebeacon.com/national-secur…
Republicans say that their ruling shows they are consistent on the issue of in-kind contributions from foreigners. They said that Chalupa did not solicit a contribution by asking the Ukrainian embassy to plant a question about Paul Manafort at a press conference for Poroshenko.
Republicans also accuse Democratic FEC chair Ellen Weintraub of chicanery in handling the case file. Weintraub voted to exonerate Chalupa, but voted against closing the case file so that it could be made public.

NEW: Feinstein accepts lifetime achievement award from a foundation heavily funded by a suspected Chinese Communist Party front group. @FreeBeacon freebeacon.com/democrats/fein…
The Bush China Foundation, founded by Neil Bush, awarded Feinstein with the lifetime achievement award. Axios reported last week that the China-US Exchange Foundation committed to a $5 million, five-year grant to the Bush China Foundation. axios.com/scoop-bush-fam…
Feinstein was at the confirmation hearing for CIA Director William Burns when he testified that he ended a financial partnership when he was at Carnegie Endowment with the China-US Exchange because of their influence activities.
