Big flurry of votes now on the Senate floor; Flake changes from No to Yes. Corker votes Yes - now tied at 47-47.
Jones D-AL votes "Aye" - the only Democrat to do that on the motion to proceed. VP Pence breaks the tie.
McConnell says it's up to Democrats to cut a deal with the President. There seems to be no deal in sight.

VP Pence now in meeting just off the House floor in Speaker Ryan's ceremonial office. Photos not allowed. Lots of security. Lots of reporters.
Secret Service seems especially skittish outside Pence meeting. We have been specifically warned not to push too closely for comment upon departure. Normally Pence walks by us without any issue.
Pence, Kushner, Mulvaney leave without comment. Meadows says talks are 'ongoing'

OK...let's try again. Even before December 2017, when @carterwpage gave this interview to Jason Zengerle of the NYT's, he was telling anybody who would listen to him where the real collusion was in the 2016 election.

nytimes.com/2017/12/18/mag…
Page insisted the *real* collusion in the 2016 campaign was between the Hillary Clinton Campaign, Fusion GPS & top officials inside the DOJ/FBI.

You can see Zengerle spinning this as an alternative narrative crafted by a guy desperate to remain revelevant and in the news.
Now at the time Zengerle could be forgiven for saying there was 'scant evidence' to support the narrative Carter Page was 'crafting', but at this point in September of 2018 as we look back, a whole lot of evidence has come out to support Page's claims.

1) And now for a day in the life of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. This is monday's meeting of the HPSCI. The names and transcript is real. The snarky bullshit and lampooning of their discussions are also real, but they're from me.
2) Let us begin on page 3, the letter of the piece of Schiff, which was entered into the record I believe as a subtle way of embarrassing that Schiffhole for being such a whiny bitch.
3) The letter states as such: "I'm gonna say that I'm releasing my own memo reluctantly, but in reality I'm hopped up on fucking opioids and I didn't write the memo myself, one of my staffers whom I endlessly attempt to grope did."

(THREAD) BREAKING: Over DOJ and FBI objection, the Nunes Memo—compiled by GOP staffers of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence—has been released by Trump and Nunes. Here's my analysis of it—as an attorney and someone who's researched the Steele Dossier for a year.
1/ First, here's a link to the controversial document—a document whose release required Nunes to invoke a HPSCI rule never used in *40 years*, and required a sitting president to go to war against his FBI for the first time since the FBI was led by Hoover. docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG…
2/ Second, understand that it's common practice in the justice system for law enforcement to use informants who have conflicts of interest to secure a warrant. Here, the informant, former MI6 Russia desk chief Chris Steele, didn't know who his client was and had no such conflict.

In this thread, I'll note any major news, statements, or developments the new transcript reveals. Hope you'll read and share.
1/ First, here's a link to the transcript, in the event you want to read it yourself (165 pp.): docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG…
2/ Posting this only because it's hilarious:

(THREAD) Erik Prince—Trump advisor; ex-head of a murderous mercenary army; would-be head of Trump's private spy agency; would-be head of a privatized U.S. army—is a dangerous liar. He just testified under oath. This is a live reading of the transcript. Hope you'll read and share.
1/ Not only did Prince appear without counsel—though he could be charged with a crime for any lie he told—he told the House Intel Committee he had no plans to *hire* an attorney. In the situation he's in—and given who he is—that statement is actually chilling. I'll tell you why.
2/ It suggests he may expect a pardon for any misconduct; or is so confident the GOP won't make him answer any questions he doesn't want to that he sees no risk of self-incrimination; or that he's that confident in his skills as a liar; or thinks his misdeeds can't be uncovered.
