How did she get a front row seat? According to McFaul she was invited by Congressman Rohrabacher

Who is Rohrabacher?

Honestly the Analog Act needs reform because it's way too slow at reacting to new types of illegal drugs. That said, I would never trust Sessions with this power

I'm convinced. Source D in the Steele dossier is Aras Agalarov.

I believe that Source E is Boris Epshteyn, but haven't been convinced of that yet.

It's also likely that Source A was Oleg Erovinkin, if anyone cares. Not him, he's dead.

How did information from source D, whoever it is, end up in the steele dossier though? Did the russians want that information out or didn't they?

Steele was a spy and probably knew how to obtain info he wasn't supposed to have.

Steele wasn't working for the Russians. He was the former head of MI6's Russian bureau, and had high-placed contacts.

Shortly after the dossier became public, Erovinkin was found dead in his car in Red Square. He had been rumored by intel watchers to have been one of Steele's sources; whether or not he was, Putin almost surely thought he was.

I know Sessions wants harsher punishments (sentencing) for drug users. Does he want harsh sentencing for any other area of the criminal spectrum, i.e. sexual assault, money laundering, etc?

Or is he just worried about reefer madness?
