Hearing is officially abt the reauthorization of section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). But it will go beyond that
-
-Burr: Have there been any incidents of intentional violations of FISA sec 702 since previous reauthorization? -Rogers: No -McCabe: No
Sen. Warner to Rogers: Did Trump ask you to downplay or back off the Russia investigation? Rogers: I won't talk abt those discussions.
-
-
Sen. Warner asks Coats if Trump asked him to downplay/back off the Russia investigation. Coats: Not appropriate to discuss in open session.
-
Sen. Warner reminds Coats & Rogers that both said they'd cooperate w/ Senate Intel Committee on all aspects of the Russia investigation.
-
Coats now seems to indicate that he will answer questions about Trump's actions behind closed doors, but not in an open session.
-
Sen. Warner makes critical distinction between "not feeling pressured" to back off probe vs *being asked by Trump* to back off probe.
-
i.e., Even if DNI Coats/NSA Dir. Rogers didn't feel pressured, that doesn't mean Trump didn't ask them to back off.https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/872469420941201409 …
-
GOP Sen. Risch draws false conclusion that DNI Coats' statement abt not feeling pressured means that Trump didn't *try* to interfere.
-
Important: Neither DNI Coats nor NSA Dir. Rogers denied that Trump asked them to intervene in FBI probe. They chose their words carefully.
-
Important: DNI Coats & NSA Dir. Rogers talked about not feeling pressured, but did *not* actually address substance of discussions w/Trump.
-
Sen. Rubio: If what's being said in the media is untrue, then it's unfair to Trump. If it is true, then the public deserves to know.
-
Sen. Rubio: Can you say whether you've ever been *asked* to end the investigation? DNI Coats: Not going to answer in open session.
-
Responding to Sen. Rubio... CIA Dir. Rogers: I've never felt pressured. [Still not adressing whether Trump asked]https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/872472829828235264 …
-
Rosenstein & McCabe refuse to answer Sen. Wyden's question abt whether they wrote memos as part of the ongoing Russia investigation.
-
Important distinction: DNI Coats says he'll only speak in closed session re. whether or not Trump tried to influence investigation. (1/)
-
NSA Dir. Rogers says he's never been DIRECTED to end investigation. Doesn't say if he's been ASKED to end it. (2/)https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/872474466227453952 …
-
So once again, this does NOT refute reports that Trump asked DNI Coats and/or NSA Dir. Rogers to intervene in FBI investigation. (3/)pic.twitter.com/DEzaDATCdR
-
But Trump/GOP will likely jump on this & falsely claim that testimony exonerated Trump/debunked news reports. (4/)https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/872475253854920704 …
-
Pay attention to how carefully DNI Coats & NSA Dir. Rogers are parsing their words. *There's a reason for that* (5/)pic.twitter.com/4rQyDPR9ue
-
DNI Coats: Didn't feel "pressured" re. Russia probe NSA Dir Rogers: Wasn't "directed" to end probe **Neither said they were not ASKED**
-
Sen King: Why is it inappropriate to say whether or not Trump ever asked you about the Russia investigation? DNI Coats refuses to answer.
-
That Coats won't just deny that Trump asked him to influence the investigation makes it hard to draw any other conclusion than: Yes, he did.
