The specifics are quite sensitive

Clapper also dropped another piece of information disquieting for the Trump camp. Last month, the Guardian reported that British intelligence in late 2015 collected intelligence on suspicious interactions between Trump associates and known or suspected Russian agents and passed this information to to the United States "as part of a routine exchange of information." Asked about this report, Clapper said it was "accurate." He added, "The specifics are quite sensitive." This may well have been the first public confirmation from an intelligence community leader that US intelligence agencies have possessed secret information about ties between Trump's circle and Moscow. (Comey testified that the FBI's counterintelligence investigation of links between Trump associates and Russian began in late July 2016.)

Kaspersky is in the US government systems!

Kaspersky launched a US subsidiary in Washington DC in the summer of 2014. Called Kaspersky Government Security Solutions, and known as KGSS, it was tasked, according to four former employees, with establishing closer relationships with government officials in the hope of securing more US federal contracts. The former employees said the company regularly handed over intelligence gathered by Kaspersky's global network of researchers to US government officials as a way of currying favor with the US government. A Kaspersky spokesperson said the company had been doing business in North America since 2005, and that their technology had been certified by the National Institute of Standards and e Federal Information Processing Standard. "There is a lot of good threat intel and threat research that the company made available to intel community and that was readily offered and accepted," said Chris Doggett, a former president of Kaspersky Lab who worked with KGSS from its start in 2014, through December 2015 He said KGSS "went through extensive efforts to have it be independent" from Kaspersky, saying they were "absolutely separate" but not giving specific examples in how the two companies set themselves apart. US intelligence officials, however, do not believe that to be the case. The US intelligence officials BuzzFeed News spoke with said it did not appear Kaspersky or its subsidiary had any outstanding contracts in the US intelligence community. (Contracts within the US intelligence community are traditionally classified.) Until recently, few officials even knew that Kaspersky was a GSA-approved product, let alone the scope of its use. One of the intelligence officials was visibly stunned when BuzzFeed News pointed out the longstanding contracts between Kaspersky and the State Department. The Kaspersky issue has come up several times in recent closed meetings to the Senate Intelligence Committee, several officials said. In one instance, according to one official present at a recent classified briefing, Senate Intelligence Committee members were floored that Kaspersky products were approved for government us

Elijah Cummings statement over Comey's firing

Cummings Statement on Abrupt Firing of FBI Director James Comey Washington, D.C. (May 9, 2017)-Today, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued the following statement after President Donald Trump abruptly fired Federal Bureau of Investigations Director James Comey "Congress needs to have immediate emergency hearings to obtain testimony directly from Attorney General Sessions, the deputy attorney general, and FBI Director Comey. The White House was already covering up for Michael Flynn by refusing to provide a single document to Congress, and now the President fired the one independent person who was doing the most to investigate President Trump and his campaign over allegations of coordination with Russia. It is mindboggling that the Attorney General - who claimed to have recused himself- was directly involved in the decision to fire Director Comey according to the White House itself. There is now a crisis of confidence at the Justice Department, and President Trump is not being held accountable because House Republicans refuse to work with us to do our job. Congress must restore credibility, accountability, and transparency to this investigation and finally pass legislation to create a truly independent commission."

Patrick Leahy's statement of Comey's firing

Reaction Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Judiciary Committee, And Appropriations Committee Vice Chairman, On President Trump's Firing Of FBI Director James Comey The President's action, and the way it has been handled, is shocking. No one should accept President Trump's absurd justification that he is now concerned that FBI Director Comey treated Secretary Clinton unfairly. The President in fact celebrated the Director's mistakes in that investigation. That fig leaf explanation seeks to cover the undeniable truth: The President has removed the sitting FBI Director in the midst of one of the most critical national security investigations in the history of our country- one that implicates seniorof campaign and administration. Thisis nothing less than Nixonian. Given that the Attorney General supposedly recused himself from the Russia investigation, he should not have played any role in removing the lead investigator from his duties. Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein now has no choice but to appoint a Special Counsel. His integrity, and the integrity of the entire Justice Department, are at stake The President's letter, in which he refers to Russian interference and possible collusion with the President's associates, is bizarre and raises troubling questions about the President's motivations There simply is no avoiding the compelling fact that this cascading situation demands the mveurgearolfan indgpeadet pecial pleces of these investigations
