Major development in House Intel Committee *after* vote to release Glenn Simpson transcript. Rep Peter King offered motion to allow all House members to review a brief report summarizing committee investigation into what is called 'FISA abuse.' 1/3
Motion was approved on party-line vote. Info in report is classified, so report will be available for House members to read in secure room. 2/3
Report contains answer to question of whether FBI/DOJ used Trump dossier to secure FISA warrant to spy on Americans, plus other issues. Now, whole House can know. Public still in dark. 3/3

Trump's speech: To win argument with Democrats, Trump will have to convince Americans there really is crisis at border. Tonight he'll argue there is two-part crisis: humanitarian and security. 1/8 ow.ly/KAFm30neQ7d
Trump, administration must convince Americans that 1) crisis exists; 2) border situation has changed dramatically in last year; and 3) Democrats' solutions are based on out-of-date understanding of problem. 2/8 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
But look at border apprehension numbers. One million a year in 2006. Last year, 396k. Yes, administration predicts will rise to 600k this year. But even if true, still down from Bush years. So there's a crisis *now*? 3/8 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

Back in Gang of 8 days, way to win GOP support was to throw in lots of high tech--sensors, drones, infrared--to create 'virtual' fence instead of actual physical border barrier. Now, Dems talking same stuff... 1/4 ow.ly/pe3O30naw9P
Still, Dems appear open to 'enhanced fencing'--higher, better fencing, possibly pedestrian replacing vehicle fencing--plus altogether new barriers. But offering it within package of high tech stuff. 2/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
One obvious possible resolution: GOP gets new fencing, improved in existing areas and new in currently un-fenced areas, while fence opponents crow about all the new high-tech gadgets they bought. 3/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

Many of you have happily pointed out this story to me. Aha! The dossier is true! What can I say? Either these two McClatchy reporters have huge story or they're really, really wrong. ow.ly/uuU430n7osC 1/5
In April, same two reporters said Mueller had other evidence Cohen was in Prague. Interesting thing: No other journalists, including well-sourced ones covering Mueller, replicated story. 2/5
Now, McClatchy cites sources with 'foreign intelligence connections' saying there's cell phone evidence Cohen was in Prague at time dossier said he was; also, wiretap of Russians confirming Cohen presence. 3/5

(THREAD) BREAKING: In an extraordinary move, Sen. Feinstein (D-CA) has *unilaterally* released the transcript of Fusion GPS's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

What follows is a live-read of the transcript by a former criminal defense attorney. Hope you'll share.
1/ First, here's a link to the transcript, which is on Senator Feinstein's government website:
2/ This testimony is from August 22, 2017.

It's not the only testimony Glenn Simpson (Fusion GPS) has given before Congress. The Republicans did not want Americans to see this testimony; after publicly saying he'd vote to release it, Sen. Grassley (R-IA) reneged on his promise.

🔥TRANSCRIPT🔥

Despite objections of @ChuckGrassley & other @senjudiciary Republicans, @SenFeinstein decided to #ReleaseTheTranscript of Fusion GPS Glenn Simpson’s testimony‼️

I will *live* tweet commentary of the #transcript on this THREAD‼️

feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/…
The #transcript is *312 pages*. Things get JUICY on p62👉🏼Simpson describes the #SteeleDossier as ”broadly speaking, a kind of holistic examination of Donald Trump's business record...it evolved somewhat quickly into issues of his relationships to *organized crime figures*‼️🔥
Simpson says his work on the #SteeleDossier began in Sept/Oct 2015.🤔

Feinstein staffer Heather Sawyer asks WHO initially engaged Fusion to perform the opposition colonoscopy on @realDonaldTrump, says it was a REPUBLICAN‼️

Simpson/attorneys: GLOMAR🙄

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
