Три информационных снаряда приземлились кучно вчерашним вечером и могли бы вызвать потрясение, если бы не были настолько предсказуемыми.
1. Washington Post сообщает, что Трамп лично просил назначенных им директора ЦРУ и директора национальной разведки надавить на Коми по поводу расследования ФБР.
On March 22, less than a week after being confirmed by the Senate, Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats attended a briefing at the White House together with officials from several government agencies. As the briefing was wrapping up, Trump asked everyone to leave the room except for Coats and CIA Director Mike Pompeo. The president then started complaining about the FBI investigation and Comey’s handling of it, said officials familiar with the account Coats gave to associates.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/top-intelligence-official-told-associates-trump-asked-him-if-he-could-intervene-with-comey-to-get-fbi-to-back-off-flynn/2017/06/06/cc879f14-4ace-11e7-9669-250d0b15f83b_story.htmlСегодня директор разведки, а также директор АНБ и и.о. директора ФБР, будут давать показания на слушаниях в Сенате. Тема слушаний другая - обновление закона о прослушке иностранных агентов, но вопросы у сенаторов наверняка возникнут и по другим темам.
https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/hearings/open-hearing-fisa-legislation-02. New York Times сообщает, что
после известного разговора с Трампом Коми просил генерального прокурора Сешнса больше не оставлять его один на один с президентом. Это соответствует правилам, по которым президент не может напрямую вмешиваться в текущие расследования.
The day after President Trump asked James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, to end an investigation into his former national security adviser, Mr. Comey confronted Attorney General Jeff Sessions and said he did not want to be left alone again with the president, according to current and former law enforcement officials. Mr. Comey believed Mr. Sessions should protect the F.B.I. from White House influence, the officials said, and pulled him aside after a meeting in February to tell him that private interactions between the F.B.I. director and the president were inappropriate.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/06/us/politics/comey-sessions-trump.htmlВопросы по этому поводу могут возникнуть завтра на слушаниях, к которым приковано беспрецедентное внимание.

3. По сообщениям разных источников Трамп крайне раздосадован на Сешнса за то, что тот взял самоотвод по российскому расследованию и таким образом довёл дело до
независимого прокурора. Но "милые бранятся - только тешатся".
The friction between the two men stems from the attorney general's abrupt decision in March to recuse himself from anything related to the Russia investigation -- a decision the president only learned about minutes before Sessions announced it publicly. Multiple sources say the recusal is one of the top disappointments of his presidency so far and one the president has remained fixated on.
Trump’s anger over the recusal has not diminished with time. Two sources close to the president say he has lashed out repeatedly at the attorney general in private meetings, blaming the recusal for the expansion of the Russia investigation, now overseen by Special Counsel and former FBI Director Robert Mueller.
But sources say the frustration runs both ways, prompting the resignation offer from Sessions.http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/attorney-general-jeff-sessions-suggested-resign-amid-rising/story?id=47875090![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
