Democrats on the House Intel Committee are firming up their plans to make criminal referrals for any witnesses that perjured themselves in the Russia probe https://t.co/LjC9CiadKF
— Andy Kroll (@AndyKroll) March 16, 2018
I for one will be interested in hearing what Cheryl or Adam have to say about these various stories, but here’s some quick hits to start the weekend:
… Members of Congress are granted no special power to send criminal referrals to the Justice Department. Anyone can make one. But a referral by lawmakers would draw public notice and perhaps extra attention in Mueller’s office…
Committee Democrats have no specific timeline for issuing referrals, Schiff notes. Because Republicans did not force many witnesses to turn over banking, phone, and other records that might support or contradict their claims, he says, “we can’t tell who is telling the truth in many cases.”
But new reports that contradict the truthfulness of witnesses testimony could result in referrals down the road. “As additional things come to light, if there are reports of witnesses saying things that are inconsistent with what has been said to the committee, that list could grow,” Schiff says.
Democrats say they remain open to Republicans joining them in referrals to Mueller, though Republicans would likely oppose such efforts. Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), a senior committee member, dismissed Democrats’ potential efforts to refer witnesses for prosecution: “Those guys just keep trying.”
.
And further…
NEW: House Republicans are privately frustrated that the rollout of their “NO COLLUSION” Russia report was overshadowed by a decision to dissent from the IC’s key finding: that Russia wanted @realDonaldTrump to win the election.https://t.co/eYpuhE2i7q
— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) March 15, 2018
…The muddled messaging was the subject of a closed-door meeting of committee Republicans on Wednesday. According to three sources briefed on the discussion, a frustrated Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) raised pointed concerns about why critiquing intelligence agencies was even mentioned at Monday’s rollout. The finding, after all, won’t be included in the committee’s official Russia report — it will be the subject of a second report issued later in the spring. But the decision to link it to the committee’s Russia findings scrambled the release.
Speaker Paul Ryan’s office also felt compelled to intervene as Republicans offered increasingly scattershot responses in interviews, with some more eager to criticize the agencies than others.
Ryan’s aides convened a meeting with members of the Intelligence Committee’s communications staff on Tuesday, according to two sources familiar with the gathering. The message: Make sure your bosses stick to facts about the intelligence agencies’ findings — and stay focused on the broader point that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and must be stopped from doing it again.
Ryan’s office declined to comment on the meeting…

Garland is not wrong in his analysis, however… He misunderstands what he is looking at. It is not that Russia is a failed state, rather Russia is the first fully functional organized crime state. Call it Mobocracy if you like.
As for the House Democratic minority HPSCI members intending to make referrals to DOJ, doesn’t surprise me in the least. I think it is more likely that you’ll see them next year if the Democrats retake the House and Congressman Schiff has the ability to 1) compel production of a variety of records – financial, communication, etc, 2) compel testimony, and 3) challenge claims of executive privilege that can’t be because the claims are for things that happened well before the President was sworn in to office.
That the GOP majority in the House, let alone on HPSCI, has begun to realize that it has once again shot itself in a tender portion of its anatomy over prematurely ending the investigation and issuing a poorly worded executive summary of their forthcoming majority report authored by a former Flynn staffer (Derek Harvey) is not surprising at all. The issue is that only a couple of the Republicans on that committee actually have any real business being on that committee based on experience and expertise. Which largely goes to the entire GOP caucus in the House. These are not high speed, low drag professionals. They are, however, rabid ideologues, which is how they got elected.
Finally, that they’re considering releasing the entire FISA app is not surprising. The merry band of morons at The Federalist (funding source never divulged) have started pushing a whacked argument without any evidence that somehow FBI Supervisory Special Agent in Charge Strzok suborned the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Judge who issued the FISA warrant for Page. It is, of course, bullshit. But DOJ has to be able to brush this stuff back or it’ll be eaten alive by right wing TV (Hannity, Tucker, Pirro), radio (Rush, Hewitt, Savage, etc), and Internet and social media (all the usual suspects).

It seems to me their underlying problem is Nunes is just making shit up as he goes along and not talking to the rest of the team. It’s way easier to get your messaging in order if everyone knows about the message before it goes out. My radical suggestion would be to write the report first as a group. That way everyone on the committee would know what was in the report and be able to discuss it intelligently. Then they could write the summary based on the report and be sure everything it talks about is discussed in more detail in the final report. It wouldn’t stop their messaging from being a pack of lies, but it would help to ensure everyone on the committee was telling the same lies.

Cheryl Rofer
This has been a slow week for Russiagate. (Thank heavens!) The most interesting thing to me was Buzzfeed’s long piece on Felix Sater, who seems to have been an FBI informant for a long time. I have a hard time, though, believing everything that’s in that article, even though the reporters say they verified everything with other parties. The bulleted list toward the beginning is particularly credulity-straining. I take most of what I read on the subject, outside of Mueller’s documents, with a grain of salt or more, though, so this goes in that pile of stuff in my head.
However, if Sater was informing for the FBI when he was working with Trump (the dates match), and this is some of the more probable material in that article, then that is another rich source of material for Mueller. It could also explain why Mueller has not yet called some witnesses, like Sater.
The Republican House Committee on Intelligence report did indeed fall on its face, owing to the other confusion that Trump was generating with his personnel changes. There was a report from the Democrats on the committee that I haven’t seen yet. Might be worth digging out for the aficionados of such things. It’s good that the Democrats are keeping tabs on the potential perjurers, but I think that’s a small part of what Mueller will eventually do.
The Eric Garland thing is about what I expected. I find his stuff pretty near unreadable, and this tweet stream is no exception. tl;dr: Russia is a mafia state, and Garland hates them and thinks they should be … what? Nuking them seems unworkable. Shunning is very limited, not useful when Putin grabs a piece of his neighbors or sends a goody bag with Novichok in it to his enemies. Putin is acting as a spoiler, which undercuts his desire to be taken seriously as a major player. Russia can’t be a major player because its economy stinks and has no future. What should be Putin’s last election comes up on Sunday. Voter participation has been declining over the last few elections, and this one looks like it will be no exception. Russia is fundamentally weak, Putin is a bully, and what we see flows from that. One of my perpetually unfinished posts is about such things. I look forward to Adam’s on the election.

@raven: Here’s my understanding:
The can fire him based on a referral from the Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility. However, that involves a process that usually takes about 60 days and there’s almost always an appeal (I don’t remember if the appeal is automatically built in). So there is no way to do this according to the existing DOJ guidelines rooted in Federal law by Sunday. The only way to do it is to just wing it and ignore the actual regs (rules). Given that his retirement goes into effect Sunday, and other than normal watch standing and emergency response operations by DOJ/FBI that occur every weekend, the Federal government is now closed until Monday I think he’s likely okay.
Regardless of what the President may want, or a bunch of whackadoodles on the Internet, social media, the radio, and Fox News, doing this would be tremendously detrimental to the President and Attorney General Sessions. McCabe would sue. The attorney’s he would use are folks like Mark Zaid and Brad Moss who are experts at handling these types of things. And they’ll go hard at the OPR investigator’s determination that McCabe lied or shaded the truth. And they’d also go hard at all the President’s tweets about McCabe. Discovery will be a nightmare for Sessions, as well as for the President.
Here’s Moss’s take on what McCabe is alleged to have done:

Sater: “I guess complex, to say the least. Um, I’m an immigrant who came to this country at the age of seven, grew up here, went to school . . .” yadda, yadda, yadda.
Blerg. I’ll catch any juicy details when recapped later. Matthew is such a creampuff interviewer that I bet he gets rolled by the deli guy every day when they’re ordering lunch.
