Promoting Russia's Active Measures

Clint Watts: "President Trump makes Russian tactics more effective because he uses a system very similar. He 、cites conspiracies, he cites falsehoods and he uses them in a political way against his adversaries. As long as he continues to do that, not only can we not counter Russian active measures, we're actually promoting them."

The investigation must continue!

That standoff has spilled over into other areas. The committee early on sent letters to key witnesses such as Flynn, Page, former campaign manager Paul Manafort and longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone to preserve all documents that might be relevant to the investigation. One such letter was also sent to White House counsel McGahn, who previously served as chief counsel to the Trump campaign and has authority over its records But the committee has still not sent any follow up letters even asking for their documents - much less issued a subpoena demanding they be turned over. Although letters requesting the material were drafted by Democratic staffers, Burr has so far declined to sign them, leaving the panel's investigators powerless to review key material necessary to pursue the issues of possible collusion.

Mike Flynn receives money from Russian-tied Turkish lobbyist

Last month, Trump's former national security adviser Mike Flynn registered with the Justice Department as a foreign agent for $530,000 he received from Turkish-American businessman Ekim Alptekin. He was paid for lobbying work that may have benefited the Turkish government while he was advising Trump during his presidential campaign. Alptekin is also the chair of the Turkey- U.S. Business Council (TAlK), which is co-organizing the 36th Annual Conference on U.S.-Turkey Relations on May 21-23 at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, which the president has yet to divest.

Jason Chaffetz says Mike Flynn "didn't comply with the law"

11:41:12 HUNT: I was hoping to get a little bit more context on the press conference that the two of you just had. The White House didn't give you what you asked for, are they acting in good faith? 11:41:23 CHAFFETZ: Yeah, the White House is. And look, we were seeing documents from the Department of Defense and the Secretary of State's office. The reality is I just don't think there are any documents because General Flynn was required to proactively ask permission prior to engaging with Russia and Turkey. Not only was he supposed to ask for permission, he was supposed to get permission, and he didn't. This goes back for a year prior to Donald Trump ever becoming the President. So, it's not as if the White House isn't responding, there just aren't documents, and that's the problem. He was supposed to seek and obtain permission prior, and it doesn't appear as if he did. 11:42:05 HUNT: So you're saying there are no documents because Michael Flynn didn't handle this correctly 11:42:09 CHAFFETZ: Correct, that's what the law requires. The law requires for you to seek and obtain permission, from this case the Secretary of the Army, as well as the Secretary of State. It doesn't appear as if he has. So the final determination really needs to come out of the army. I know the inspector general, the Department of Defense, he's also involved. But the letter that Elijah Cummings and I are going to jointly send is for them to make this final determination. 11:42:35 HUNT: Now couldn't the White House have given you Michael Flynn's SR86 security clearance form? 11:42:39 CHAFFETZ: I'm not sure that they're going to make that public, but I think they will make that available, and have 11:42:47 HUNT: Do you think Michael Flynn broke the law? 11:42:490 CHAFFETZ: It doesn't appear as if he complied with the law. Now, we need the final determination to be made, but the inspector general of the Department of Defense is there, we were obviously involved, but I don't see any evidence that he actually did comply with the law 11:43:02 HUNT: Are you going to run for Governor of Utah in 2020? 11:43:04 CHAFFETZ: Definite maybe. I don't know.

The unprofessional investigation

The committee previously announced that seven staffers had been assigned to review classified documents related to the Russia investigation. These are the majority and minority staff directors, joined by three Republican aides and two Democratic aides "We have devoted seven professional staff positions to this investigation. These are staffers who already had the clearance," Burr said on March 29 Of the seven staffers so far assigned to review classified documents related to the Russia investigation, none of them has prosecutorial or investigative experience, according to three sources with ties to the committee, Most of them lack a background in Russia expertise. Not one of the severn is a lawyer. "I don't see how you can do this without trained investigators and prosecutors. I think you need to have expertise on the intel side and on the prosecution side. You would ideally need someone who knows how to do a counterintelligence operation," said Scott Horton, an attorney who has focused on anti-corruption investigations, with a specialization in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet states. The investigation already faces a series of obstacles that have heavy requirements on time: the classification of documents, the location of documents at various agencies, and an incredible volume of material But of the seven staffers, none has been assigned full-time to the work of the Russia probe, according to four sources with ties to the committee. Every one of the seven staffers has other oversight responsibilities, and thus a dual-hatted role that prevents them from focusing singularly orn the investigation. Of the seven, two are the staff directors of the committee-an enormously demanding job even in the calmest of circumstances, which limits their involvement. One of the seven even attends law school part-time.

Donald Trump's link to the hack on the US election appears to be far more direct than anybody thought - with Russian money, washed into his campaign, paying for Russian hackers who attacked both state voter registration databases and the DNC. Trump also appears to have had direct personal knowledge of the propaganda botnet used by Russia.
