WASHINGTON Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser, was looking for a direct line to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia a search that in mid-December found him in a room with a Russian banker whose financial institution was deeply intertwined with Russian intelligence, and remains under sanction by the United States. Federal and congressional investigators are now examining what exactly Mr Kushner and the Russian banker, Sergey N. Gorkov, wanted from each other The banker is a close associate of Mr. Putin, but he has not been known to play a diplomatic role for the Russian leader. That has raised questions about why he was meeting with Mr. Kushner at a crucial moment in the presidential transition, according to current and former officials familiar with the investigations. The New York Times first reported the meeting between Mr. Kushner and Mr. Gorkov in March, but the White House at the time did not explain its aim. That article quoted a White House spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, who said that the meeting came at the request of the Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergey I. Kislyak, with whom Mr. Kushner had met earlier in December at Trump Tower to discuss opening a communications channel with Russian officials during the presidential transition. But the half-hour meeting with Mr. Gorkov since has come under increasing scrutiny. The current and former American officials now say it may have been part of an effort by Mr. Kushner to establish a direct line to Mr. Putin outside of established diplomatic channels.

Kushner and VEB

FBI investigators are examining whether Russians suggested to Kushner or other Trump aides that relaxing economic sanctions would allow Russian banks to offer financing to people with ties to Trump, said the current U.S. law enforcement official The head of Russian state-owned Vnesheconombank, Sergei Nikolaevich Gorkov, a trained intelligence officer whom Putin appointed, met Kushner at Trump Tower in December. The bank is under U.S. sanctions and was implicated in a 2015 espionage case in which one of its New York executives pleaded guilty to spying and was jailed The bank said in a statement in March that it had met with Kushner along with other representatives of U.S. banks and business as part of preparing a new corporate strategy.

Jared Kushner's secret Kremlin channels

The discussion of a secret channel adds to a broader pattern of efforts by Trump's closest advisors to obscure their contacts with Russian counterparts. Trump's first national security adviser, Flynn, was forced to resign after a series of false statements about his conversations with Kislyak. Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from matters related to the Russia investigation after it was revealed that he had failed to disclose his own meetings with Kislyak when asked during congressional testimony about any contact with Russians. Kushner's interactions with Russians - including Kislyak and an executive for a Russian bank under U.S. sanctions- were not acknowledged by the White House until they were exposed in media reports.

Mike Rogers says Trump asked him to lie for him

In his town hall talk, Rogers reportedly admitted that President Trump asked him to discredit the FBI and James Comey, which the admiral flatly refused to do. As Rogers explained, he informed the commander in chief, "I know you won't like it, but I have to tell what I have seen"-a probable reference to specific intelligence establishing collusion between the Kremlin and Team Trump Rogers then added that such SIGINT exists, and it is damning. He stated, "There is no question that we [meaning NSA] have evidence of election involvement and questionable contacts with the Russians." Although Rogers did not cite the specific intelligence he was referring to, agency officials with direct knowledge have informed me that DIRNSA was obviously referring to a series of SIGINT reports from 20I6 based on intercepts of communications between known Russian intelligence officials and key members of Trump's campaign, in which they discussed methods of damaging Hillary Clinton

House Intel Committee looks into Michael Caputo

Michael Caputo, who served as a communications adviser to the Trump campaign, has been asked by the House committee investigating Russian election meddling to submit to a voluntary interview and to provide any documents he may have that are related to the inquiry The House Intelligence Committee, which is examining possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, made its request in a letter on May 9. Mr. Caputo, who lives near Buffalo and spent six months on the Trump team, worked in Russia during the 1990s and came to know Kremlin officials. He also did work in the early 2ooos for Gazprom Media, a Russian conglomerate that supported President Vladimir V. Putin

Trump and his interference

1. Russia illegally intervened in the American election to help Trump 2. The Trump campaign is facing a counter-espionage investigation for possibly colluding with Russia during its attack on our democracy. 3. Trump then fired the director of the FBI because the president wanted to help quash the investigation. 4. Trump then bragged about the firing to Russian officials who were welcomed into the Oval Office at Vladimir Putin's behest, simultaneously acknowledging that White House rhetoric about the firing was a lie. I'm sure assorted partisan and pundits will try to put a positive spin on this, but I don't envy their task.

Russia wanted to influence Trump through Flynn and Manafort

WASHINGTON- American spies collected information last summer revealing that senior Russian intelligence and political officials were discussing how to exert influence over Donald J. Trump through his advisers, according to three current and former American officials familiar with the intelligence. The conversations focused on Paul Manafort, the Trump campaign chairman at the time, and Michael T. Flynn, a retired general who was advising Mr. Trump, the officials said. Both men had indirect ties to Russian officials, who appeared confident that each could be used to help shape Mr. Trump's opinions on Russia.

Russia's information warfare against the West

Modern Russian information warfare can be directly traced to Soviet "special propaganda", first taught on its own in 1942.[viij Along the way, the Soviets perfected the concept of reflexive control, essentially making opponents act as desired without them ever being aware of Moscow's hidden hand.[viij Eventually, Soviet military doctrine regarded victory as social revolution in enemy territories.[ix] Current events in Ukraine show this continuity from Bolshevik days, with adaptation along the way, of course, to benefit from technological and other developments over the past century. This is set to continue. Russia's military doctrine to 2020 favours a shift from destruction to influence; from eradication of opponents to their inner decay; from conventional battlegrounds to information, psychological and perception war; and from physical conflict to conflict in the human consciousness.[x])

Flynn wants to plead the 5th

The committee has two leading options at its disposal (other than doing nothing) to try to force Flynn to cough up the documents it has subpoenaed. As a useful Lawfare explainer notes, the dommittee can either try to refer the matter to the U.S. Attorney for criminal action, or it can try to get the Senate, under a provision in a 1978 ethics reform law, to enlist its counsel to bring a civil action to compel release of the documents. The basic principle here is that in order for congressional oversight to be effective, its subpoena power must have real teeth. The success of the first option relies on the willingness of the Justice Department to prosecute, and the latter option (a civil action brought by Senate counsel) is the more likely one. That would probably require votes first by the committee, and then by the full Senate, according to Sarah Binder, a congressional expert at George Washington University The important procedural step here has typically been that the Senate by statute is authorized to direct its chamber legal counsel to seek civil enforcement of its committee subpoenas," Binder told me this morning. "The full Senate would vote on a resolution directing its legal counsel to file suit in federal court to enforce a committee issued subpoena." This would raise some political complications and would pose a challenge to Republicans. As one legal expert explained to USA Today, the question then would be how hard the GOP-controlled Senate's counsel will fight in civil court which would have to decide whether the Flynn documents are protected under the Fifth Amendment -to try to get Flynn to release them. That would also raise questions about how seriously the GOP Senate caucus is taking its oversight role.
