“In an earlier post, I explained how polling data on the Russia investigation underscores the degree to which partisanship taints Americans’ assessment of security politics.”
“What was clear, however, was the intent. According to the AP report, “Veselnitskaya presented the contents of the documents to Trump Jr. and suggested that making the information public could help the campaign.” And receiving this plastic folder, assuming it really happened, may have implicated the participants in espionage.”
“… a former Soviet counterintelligence officer who is suspected by some U.S. officials of having ongoing ties to Russian intelligence.”

On Monday evening we got what might fairly be described as the worst kind of double-whammy: a WaPo report containing new revelations about Donald Trump’s attempts to obstruct justice in the Russia probe and a terrorist attack that killed 22 people in Manchester. The knee-jerk risk-off move…
We already knew Mike Flynn had nothing to hide about the Trump administration’s ties to Moscow because back in March, he requested immunity from prosecution in exchange for his testimony. Now to be sure, some people didn’t agree with the above assessment. That is, some people thought that the very fact Mike Flynn asked for immunity…
