Former Trump adviser says Senate Intelligence Committee asked him to preserve information about his Russia ties


quote:

Carter Page, an early foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, said Monday that the Senate Intelligence Committee has asked him to preserve information concerning his Russia-related activities throughout 2016.

In a letter obtained by Business Insider dated March 5, Page thanked Sen. Richard Burr — the Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee — and Sen. Mark Warner, a ranking member of the committee, for their "recent correspondence regarding information that you might at some point desire for ongoing investigations into the 2016 U.S. Election."

I don't have much faith in it being different enough from the last one to really last. And the last one was basically 'screw you, court system, I do what I want.' Interesting how everybody is now shutting up so now anything the administration wants to say is now muted amidst all the speculation.

At least we have a small victory: for a moment, for a brief moment, we have taught Trump to shut the gently caress up and hide.

From a quick first read its way more generous but still is effectively a religious ban

quote:

Department of Homeland Security report assessing the terrorist threat posed by people from the seven countries covered by President Trump’s original travel ban had cast doubt on the necessity of the executive order, concluding that citizenship was an “unreliable” threat indicator and that people from the affected countries have rarely been implicated in U.S.-based terrorism.

The Department of Homeland Security official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, criticized the report as being incomplete and not vetted with other agencies, and he also asserted the administration should not be pressed by the judiciary to unveil sensitive national security details to justify the ban.

“This is not something that the Department of Justice should have to represent to a federal-district court judge,” the official said.

Oh gently caress off.

(iv) Executive Order 13769 did not provide a basis for discriminating for or against members of any particular religion. While that order allowed for prioritization of refugee claims from members of persecuted religious minority groups, that priority applied to refugees from every nation, including those in which Islam is a minority religion, and it applied to minority sects within a religion. That order was not motivated by animus toward any religion, but was instead intended to protect the ability of religious minorities -- whoever they are and wherever they reside -- to avail themselves of the USRAP in light of their particular challenges and circumstances.

(e) The following are brief descriptions, taken in part from the Department of State's Country Reports on Terrorism 2015 (June 2016), of some of the conditions in six of the previously designated countries that demonstrate why their nationals continue to present heightened risks to the security of the United States:

Nevertheless, the close cooperative relationship between the United States and the democratically elected Iraqi government, the strong United States diplomatic presence in Iraq, the significant presence of United States forces in Iraq, and Iraq's commitment to combat ISIS justify different treatment for Iraq. In particular, those Iraqi government forces that have fought to regain more than half of the territory previously dominated by ISIS have shown steadfast determination and earned enduring respect as they battle an armed group that is the common enemy of Iraq and the United States.
