Months ago, I wrote that we'd know we had reached a certain phase of the Trump-Russia probe when J.D. Gordon had been correctly identified as a key witness—given that he was in charge of the pro-Putin GOP platform change Trump ordered *months* before the RNC. And now here we are.
Last week, I posted this list of questions for Gordon on Twitter. Hopefully both Mueller and Congress will be asking (or did ask) these and more. I first threaded on Gordon in mid-April, as he's a key Russia-probe witness who has inexplicably flown under the radar from the start. 
If you go back and look at J.D. Gordon's answers to even the most basic questions about his campaign activity, you get just as many I-can't-recalls and It-wasn't-mes and No-one-told-mes as you do with every other Trump aide. But he was Sessions' right-hand man on the NatSec team.
Nearly a month ago, J.D. Gordon reported me to the FBI (see below).
He did so because I was one of the only journalists correctly pointing out his key placement at the center of the Russia probe and noting his unusual activities and many misstatements. washingtontimes.com/news/2017/oct/…

So today's news that Gordon was questioned by Congressional investigators; the implication Mueller has questioned him; and Renato Mariotti's statement that Gordon may be in legal jeopardy are a vindication of my writing on Gordon since April.
I went through a *lot* to get here.

I don't know and can't say if Gordon engaged in any illegal activity. But his claims that he and Sessions were left off key NatSec team emails aren't credible; his claim he didn't think he did anything wrong at the RNC, when he watched Manafort lie about it on TV, isn't credible.
As I recall, what the media did instead was call me a conspiracy theorist rather than a criminal attorney and journalist. Now the info I shared about Gordon (and excellent reporter Natasha Bertrand shared at BI) is the subject of Congressional questioning and—likely—Mueller, too.
Carter Page met a Russian in Budapest—the European HQ of the FSB—and Congress asked him about it. He revealed another NatSec team member, Schmitz, also went to Budapest during the campaign. J.D. Gordon has also traveled there regularly, and I assume *he'll* now be asked about it.
