After watching the Jay Clayton confirmation hearing for DNI, it seems Mr. Clayton, and many of the senators questioning him, don’t have a clear idea of what the DNI does, and what it shouldn’t do. Cheat sheet: get the IC agencies to work together: YES. Police elections: NO.

I love this article. As we celebrate our democracy in challenging times, it helps to remember what we can do: we can be welcoming, hospitable, supportive of others and joyful in the appreciation of excellence.

Come on DOJ - let’s see the affidavit. If this is an old, Biden era corruption case, not related to VA redistricting, show us the receipts.

The president's use of the Department Of Justice as his personal tool of retribution continues. Here is my take from AC 360 last night on DOJ's latest attempt to satisfy Donald Trump's thirst for revenge.

NEW: An 81-year-old lawyer named Joe diGenova is now leading a criminal probe of Trump’s perceived adversaries.

DiGenova has long been an enthusiastic promoter of the so-called “Grand Conspiracy” case—but he may turn out to be its most consequential liability.

Lots of work going on in the Counterterrorism Division of the FBI today as they try to build a rich picture of what led the gunman to the WHCD last night and whether he had any help. They collect evidence to support the prosecution, and intelligence to understand the “why” and “how.”

In my opinion, it is hard to believe that Kash Patel did not know that HQ based agents were seeking to open a criminal case targeting a reporter in which the victim was his girlfriend. Here I am covering the story with Anderson Cooper last night.
