Инвариантность

Марк Уорнер - самый состоятельный сенатор, заработавший в прошлой жизни порядка $100 миллионов - устраивал в конце июня для коллег по демократический партии прием в своем доме в Martha’s Vineyard. Была подслушана его шутливая реплика: “If you get me one more glass of wine, I’ll tell you stuff only Bob Mueller and I know. If you think you’ve seen wild stuff so far, buckle up. It’s going to be a wild couple of months.”

Посмотрим, что нам принесут следующие пара месяцев. Пока что комиссия Сената по разведке, где Уорнер служит заместителем председателя, выпустила важный промежуточный отчет, в котором явным образом подтверждает выводы американских разведслужб, опубликованные в январе 2017, о российском вмешательстве в выборы 2016 и о том, что это вмешательство осуществлялось по личному указанию Путина и для помощи Трампу.

The Committee finds that the Intelligence Community met President Obama’s tasking and that the ICA is a sound intelligence product. While the Committee had to rely on agencies that the sensitive information and accesses had been accurately reported, as part of our inquiry the Committee reviewed analytic procedures, interviewed senior intelligence officers well-versed with the information, and based our findings on the entire body of intelligence reporting included in the ICA. <...>
As the inquiry has progressed since January 2017, the Committee has seen additional examples of Russia's attempts to sow discord, undermine democratic institutions, and interfere in U.S. elections and those of our allies.

Доклад также подтверждает, что в своих выводах разведка и котрразведка не использовала информацию из досье Стила, а полагалась на собственные источники.

The FBI had a collection of reports a former foreign intelligence officer was hired to compile as opposition research for the U.S. election, referred to asthe "dossier," when the ICA was drafted. However, those reports remained separate from the conclusions of the ICA. All individuals the Committee interviewed verified that the dossier did not in any way inform the analysis in the ICA - including the key findings - because it was unverified information and had not been disseminated asserialized intelligence reporting.

Комиссия находится в контакте с Кристофером Стилом и его адвокатами и продолжает пробивать возможность для Стила дать официальные показания.

The head of the top congressional committee investigating Russian election interference says that the panel has been in “weekly” contact with lawyers for former British spy Christopher Steele, the author of a dossier alleging years of links between President Donald Trump and the Kremlin.
“We’re still in conversation weekly,” North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, chair of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, told BuzzFeed News. Asked if Steele had provided any information to the committee, Burr said: “That continues to be the topic weekly.”
