Год назад конференция CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) запомнилась совместным выступлением Стива Бэннона и Ринса Прибуса, которые рассказывали, как слаженно под их чутким руководством работает аппарат Белого дома. Ныне их духу там уж нет, а они обзавелись одним адвокатом на двоих для защиты в Рашагейте.
В этом году тоже были свои моменты. Трудно сказать, что лучше символизирует упадок американского консерватизма - Марион Ле Пен в качестве почетного заморского гостя или Девин Нунес, получающий награду "Defender of Freedom" за свой печально известный доклад.
Одновременно вчера был опубликован обещанный доклад демократов: https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/hpsci_redacted_minority_memo.pdf
Принципиально новой информации мало, в основном из-за купюр, наложенных ФБР и Министерством юстиции. Но если были какие-то не до конца ясные моменты, они прояснились.
Have now read and analyzed Nunes & Schiff memos. Can come to only 1 conclusion: Nunes, GOP leaders, & Trump intentionally lied 2hurt FBI & USA and benefit Russia. That is unlike anything we have seen—far worse than McCarthy or Nixon, who were not aiding our foreign adversaries

К примеру, прояснился ответ на вопрос "Какую именно информацию из статьи Исикоффа использовали в ФБР для запроса на прослушку Пейджа?"
The Majority falsely claims that the FISA materials "relied heavily" on a September 23, 2016 Yahoo! News article by Mchael Isikoff and that this article "does not corroborate the Steele Dossier because it is derived from information leaked by Steele himself." In fact, DOJ referenced Isikoff's article, alongside another article the Majority fails to mention, not to provide separate corroboration for Steele's reporting, but instead to inform the Court of Page's public denial of his suspected meetings in Moscow, which Page also echoed in a September 25, 2016 letter to FBI Director Comey (REDACTED).

Таким образом, использовалась не информация в статье, а тот факт, что Пейдж публично ее публично отрицал.
Дополнительные интересные моменты:
1. Из-за недостаточно тщательных купюр стало понятно, что, когда Стил пришел в ФБР в сентябре 2016, у них уже было открыто расследование и на Пейджа, и по меньшей мере на четырех других человек (Пападопулоса, Флинна, Манафорта и Гейтса).

An apparent mistake in the declassification process, footnote 7 seems to reveal what's redacted: FIVE campaign officials were under investigation as of Sept. '16, including the future National Security Advisor, MICHAEL FLYNN. pic.twitter.com/Nm4ZKKJCrc

2. Похоже, что Пейдж врал Конгрессу, отрицая свою личную встречу с Сечиным. Можно также предположить, что информация в досье о московских контактах Пейджа подтвердилась.
Dem memo says the DOJ provided information to the FISC that corroborated Steele's information about Page, but that information has been redacted: pic.twitter.com/gzS5wXdiqP

In last line of this graf, HPSCI Dems allege that Page lied to the committee under oath. pic.twitter.com/J39mQ17ZCT

3. Подтверждение безупречной репутации Кристофера Стила - ФБР объяснили суду FISC, что доверяют Стилу потому, что использовали предоставленную им информацию в прошлом, в том числе в криминальных расследованиях.
DOJ explained the FBI's reasonable basis for finding Steele credible: The applications correctly described Steele as (REDACTED). The applications also reviewed Steele's multi-year history of credible reporting on Russia and other matters, including information DOJ used in criminal proceedings. Senior FBI and DOJ officials have repeatedly affirmed to the Committee the reliability and credibility of Steele's reporting, an assessment also reflected in the FBI's underlying source documents. The FBI has undertaken a rigorous process to vet allegations from Steele's reporting, including with regard to Page.

Date: 2018-02-26 08:32 pm (UTC)The President also called House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes, who was behind the Republican memo, "very, very brave." "He's been very, very brave in the face of a lot of obstacles. What he's found out has been incredible. I give him tremendous credit."

Date: 2018-03-01 05:57 pm (UTC)The Senate Intelligence Committee has concluded that Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee were behind the leak of private text messages between the Senate panel’s top Democrat and a Russian-connected lawyer, according to two congressional officials briefed on the matter.
Senator Richard M. Burr of North Carolina, the committee’s Republican chairman, and Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat, were so perturbed by the leak that they demanded a rare meeting with Speaker Paul D. Ryan last month to inform him of their findings. They used the meeting with Mr. Ryan to raise broader concerns about the direction of the House Intelligence Committee under its chairman, Representative Devin Nunes of California, the officials said.

Date: 2018-03-01 05:59 pm (UTC)That the Republicans are so determined to destroy Steele’s reputation certainly isn’t making life easier for him. Happily, he doesn’t have to do much to prevail against them. He merely has to endure. The truth will find a way. The members of Trump’s party who are smart enough to understand this must be terrified.
