"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Updated 8:15 p.m. ET\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The head of the House Intelligence Committee secretly went to the White House grounds to meet with a source, before he surprised his colleagues by briefing the president — and the press — on information they hadn't seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The revelation, first reported by CNN and later confirmed by a spokesman for the chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes, is the latest twist in the strange saga of Nunes' unorthodox actions last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RepAdamSchiff?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\">in this tweet\u003c/a> that Nunes should recuse himself \"from involvement in investigation/oversight of Trump campaign & transition.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a recommendation I make lightly,\" added Schiff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House minority leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/NancyPelosi/status/846510458844708864\">also called\u003c/a> for Nunes to recuse himself from investigations of any Trump connections with Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statements came shortly after Nunes, in a live interview with CNN, said that it is very common for him to go to an executive branch building such as the White House, Pentagon, or CIA to review classified documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes said he did not meet with the president or his aides while he was on the White House grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm quite sure that people in the West Wing had no idea that I was there,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the day, Nunes announced that the House Intelligence Committee will not hold a closed hearing on Tuesday as scheduled with the directors of the FBI and National Security Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You'll remember that President Trump has claimed, without evidence, that his campaign was illegally surveilled by the Obama administration. The claim has been denounced at the highest levels of the intelligence community. But the explosive allegation has come up several times as the committee attempts to investigate Russian meddling in the U.S. election, and the handling of classified information in connection to that story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes (R-Calif.), the committee chairman, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/22/521133929/house-intel-chair-trump-aides-swept-up-in-legal-u-s-surveillance\">raised eyebrows on Wednesday\u003c/a> when he gave a press conference to say President Trump and his transition team were accidentally caught up in routine U.S. surveillance of foreign targets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes himself said there was no sign the Trump team was targeted specifically, and that the surveillance appeared to be wholly legal. The conversations in question also happened after the election and, as observers have noted, could include remarks \u003cem>about \u003c/em>Trump and his team. Still, Trump claimed the press conference as partial vindication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes said his announcement was based on classified intelligence from an unnamed source and that he had briefed the president. Notably, no one else had seen the information — including the other members of the House Intelligence Committee. Rep. \u003cem>\u003c/em>Schiff\u003cem>\u003c/em> called that \"bizarre\" and \"wrong.\" (Nunes later \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/23/521274726/house-intel-chairman-apologizes-over-trump-surveillance-claims\">apologized\u003c/a> to his colleagues.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The briefing raised a number of questions. One big one: Where did that intelligence come from?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Democrats were skeptical, and immediately questioned whether Nunes had obtained his information from the White House itself,\" NPR's Scott Detrow reports. \"Now, a Nunes spokesman says the Republican did meet with his source on the White House grounds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spokesman says that the location was chosen for its \"proximity to a secure location.\" There are, of course, other secure locations available on Capitol Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has denied that it provided the information to Nunes. On Thursday White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that idea didn't pass the \"smell test,\" asking why Nunes would brief the president on information if it came from the president's team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference on Monday, Spicer said he didn't know what Nunes saw or what he said to Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He referred questions about the origin of the information to Nunes, but when pressed on whether it might have come from a White House staffer, Spicer said \"anything's possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has delivered some harsh rhetoric over earlier leaks of information, but Spicer didn't express concern that there might be a leak from inside the administration. Instead, he noted that Nunes was cleared to view classified material — drawing a contrast between leaks to reporters and the passing of any information to Nunes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's more on what we know about Nunes' meeting, from The Associated Press:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"Nunes' office said the information provided to the chairman came from 'executive branch documents that have not been provided to Congress.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\" 'Because of classification rules, the source could not simply put the documents in a backpack and walk them over to the House Intelligence Committee space,' [Nunes spokesman Jack] Langer said. 'The White House grounds was the best location to safeguard the proper chain of custody and classification of these documents, so the chairman could view them in a legal way.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Nunes has not identified his source. Any White House staffer can approve a visitor to the White House grounds, the AP notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes' spokesman did not specify when he visited White House property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/03/24/devin-nunes-vanished-the-night-before-he-made-trump-surveillance-claims.html\">the Daily Beast reported\u003c/a>, citing anonymous sources, that Nunes \"jumped out out of an Uber\" on Tuesday evening after receiving a message on his phone, and didn't tell his staffers where he went. The press conference was held on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CNN has since reported \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/27/politics/devin-nunes-white-house-donald-trump/\">a similar account\u003c/a> of Nunes abruptly leaving a staffer on Tuesday night. On Friday, ranking member Rep. Schiff appeared to allude to the incident as a mysterious \"dead of night excursion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff has been sharply critical of Nunes' recent decisions, including holding Wednesday's press conference and cancelling a public hearing this Tuesday. Schiff is one of several voices on Capitol Hill calling for an independent investigation of Russian intrusion in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Senate's investigation is moving forward. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner will be talking to the Senate committee, and the committee will hold its first open hearing on Thursday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/NancyPelosi/status/846510458844708864\">also called\u003c/a> for Nunes to recuse himself from investigations of any Trump connections with Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statements came shortly after Nunes, in a live interview with CNN, said that it is very common for him to go to an executive branch building such as the White House, Pentagon, or CIA to review classified documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes said he did not meet with the president or his aides while he was on the White House grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm quite sure that people in the West Wing had no idea that I was there,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the day, Nunes announced that the House Intelligence Committee will not hold a closed hearing on Tuesday as scheduled with the directors of the FBI and National Security Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You'll remember that President Trump has claimed, without evidence, that his campaign was illegally surveilled by the Obama administration. The claim has been denounced at the highest levels of the intelligence community. But the explosive allegation has come up several times as the committee attempts to investigate Russian meddling in the U.S. election, and the handling of classified information in connection to that story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes (R-Calif.), the committee chairman, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/22/521133929/house-intel-chair-trump-aides-swept-up-in-legal-u-s-surveillance\">raised eyebrows on Wednesday\u003c/a> when he gave a press conference to say President Trump and his transition team were accidentally caught up in routine U.S. surveillance of foreign targets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes himself said there was no sign the Trump team was targeted specifically, and that the surveillance appeared to be wholly legal. The conversations in question also happened after the election and, as observers have noted, could include remarks \u003cem>about \u003c/em>Trump and his team. Still, Trump claimed the press conference as partial vindication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes said his announcement was based on classified intelligence from an unnamed source and that he had briefed the president. Notably, no one else had seen the information — including the other members of the House Intelligence Committee. Rep. \u003cem>\u003c/em>Schiff\u003cem>\u003c/em> called that \"bizarre\" and \"wrong.\" (Nunes later \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/23/521274726/house-intel-chairman-apologizes-over-trump-surveillance-claims\">apologized\u003c/a> to his colleagues.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The briefing raised a number of questions. One big one: Where did that intelligence come from?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Democrats were skeptical, and immediately questioned whether Nunes had obtained his information from the White House itself,\" NPR's Scott Detrow reports. \"Now, a Nunes spokesman says the Republican did meet with his source on the White House grounds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spokesman says that the location was chosen for its \"proximity to a secure location.\" There are, of course, other secure locations available on Capitol Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has denied that it provided the information to Nunes. On Thursday White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that idea didn't pass the \"smell test,\" asking why Nunes would brief the president on information if it came from the president's team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference on Monday, Spicer said he didn't know what Nunes saw or what he said to Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He referred questions about the origin of the information to Nunes, but when pressed on whether it might have come from a White House staffer, Spicer said \"anything's possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has delivered some harsh rhetoric over earlier leaks of information, but Spicer didn't express concern that there might be a leak from inside the administration. Instead, he noted that Nunes was cleared to view classified material — drawing a contrast between leaks to reporters and the passing of any information to Nunes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's more on what we know about Nunes' meeting, from The Associated Press:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"Nunes' office said the information provided to the chairman came from 'executive branch documents that have not been provided to Congress.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\" 'Because of classification rules, the source could not simply put the documents in a backpack and walk them over to the House Intelligence Committee space,' [Nunes spokesman Jack] Langer said. 'The White House grounds was the best location to safeguard the proper chain of custody and classification of these documents, so the chairman could view them in a legal way.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Nunes has not identified his source. Any White House staffer can approve a visitor to the White House grounds, the AP notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes' spokesman did not specify when he visited White House property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/03/24/devin-nunes-vanished-the-night-before-he-made-trump-surveillance-claims.html\">the Daily Beast reported\u003c/a>, citing anonymous sources, that Nunes \"jumped out out of an Uber\" on Tuesday evening after receiving a message on his phone, and didn't tell his staffers where he went. The press conference was held on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CNN has since reported \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/27/politics/devin-nunes-white-house-donald-trump/\">a similar account\u003c/a> of Nunes abruptly leaving a staffer on Tuesday night. On Friday, ranking member Rep. Schiff appeared to allude to the incident as a mysterious \"dead of night excursion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff has been sharply critical of Nunes' recent decisions, including holding Wednesday's press conference and cancelling a public hearing this Tuesday. Schiff is one of several voices on Capitol Hill calling for an independent investigation of Russian intrusion in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Senate's investigation is moving forward. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner will be talking to the Senate committee, and the committee will hold its first open hearing on Thursday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>FBI Director James Comey lit the fuse Monday on a political time bomb and no one — including him — knows how long it will take to burn or what kind of damage it may cause when it goes off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey confirmed to members of Congress that his investigators are looking into possible collusion between the campaign that elected President Trump and the Russian government. In fact, he said, the FBI has been doing so since last July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The signs had been there, from press reports to the announcement by Attorney General Jeff Sessions that Sessions would recuse himself from any such probe. Now, Comey's disclosure to the House Intelligence Committee removes all doubt that the FBI believes there is sufficient evidence to look into the connections between Trump's onetime political aides and the Kremlin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"KQPVMjjRK5LyUpwEYDYfwrNIeN5W3ZtV\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case that Russia interfered in the presidential campaign \u003ca href=\"https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ICA_2017_01.pdf\">has been made\u003c/a> — the U.S. intelligence community laid out an unclassified version in December and then-President Barack Obama responded by \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/12/29/507436692/obama-expels-35-diplomats-imposes-retaliatory-sanctions-against-russia-for-hacki\">expelling a group of Russian spies\u003c/a> and sanctioning some of its key officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But details about the role Trump's team might have played in the making of that mischief still are murky, and Monday's hearing did not include much explosive new information. In fact, the panel's chairman, California Rep. Devin Nunes — who served on Trump's transition team — and his fellow Republicans spent as much of their time as they could drawing the focus away from the Russian collusion narrative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The real outrage, Republicans argue, is the leaking of classified information to the \u003cem>Washington Post\u003c/em> and other newspapers, especially the identity of former Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn as having been swept up in U.S. government surveillance of Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flynn resigned after a brief stint as Trump's national security adviser and has since \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/10/519703341/michael-flynn-admits-lobbying-may-have-benefited-turkish-government\">retroactively registered as a foreign agent\u003c/a> for his work representing Turkish interests. Democrats revealed on Friday that \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/16/520444056/former-trump-national-security-adviser-was-paid-to-advise-russian-firms\">Flynn had also taken more than $50,000 in payments\u003c/a> from Russian government entities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ex8AC3J6hjVGY3hWgPivKyjPzRfHnIbE\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, led by ranking member Adam Schiff, also of California, used their time on Monday to put Trump and the Russians together as closely as possible, including in an \u003ca href=\"http://schiff.house.gov/news/press-releases/intelligence-committee-ranking-member-schiff-opening-statement-during-hearing-on-russian-active-measures\">extended opening statement\u003c/a> by Schiff that laid out his theory of the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of Schiff's statement, however, relied on information that's already publicly available or which has been called into question. Monday's session did not include major new details about the alleged ways that the Trump camp may have worked with the Russian intelligence services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it did raise new questions about the imbroglio — some of which lawmakers may answer at a second session now scheduled for March 28, and some of which might not be cleared up until the FBI announces the results of its investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>1. How much evidence is still to be discovered? And how reliable is what's now public?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Schiff crafted a narrative about the Russians' first exploration of the presidential candidates to a critical period from July to August of 2016. If Moscow began by trying simply to learn more about the potential next U.S. president, it shifted to trying to hurt the likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, and then helping her opponent — or so the argument goes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff relied on information that has appeared in press reports and some that appears in a controversial dossier passed from a former British intelligence officer to Comey by Arizona Sen. John McCain. NPR and other news organizations \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ombudsman/2017/01/13/509563890/the-thinking-behind-nprs-reporting-on-the-trump-dossier\">have refrained from reporting such details\u003c/a> because of the unknown provenance of the dossier — but does Schiff's use of it in the public hearing indicate that at least some of the information has been verified?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democrats' case also rests on conversations between Trump advisers and people connected to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU, or other top Russians. But how much more detail exists about what was said in those meetings? How much effort are congressional or FBI investigators making to interview Trump's campaign advisers?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. Might Trump aides have colluded with Russia without knowing it?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One new thread that emerged from Monday's hearing came as part of an exchange between Comey and Illinois Democrat Mike Quigley, who asked whether it's possible for Americans to help a foreign power and not know about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, Comey answered cautiously — an American might give information to someone he legitimately believes is a Chinese researcher and isn't aware is actually a Chinese intelligence officer. Or an American might fall in love with someone and not realize he or she is in a relationship with a foreign agent: \"Romance could be a feature,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could explain denials by people at the center of the Trump-Russia imbroglio, including former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who resigned after reports about his connections to pro-Kremlin government factions in Ukraine. The \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> referred to Manafort \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/us/politics/russia-intelligence-communications-trump.html?_r=0\">in a story in February\u003c/a> about U.S. intelligence officials documenting many alleged connections between the Trump camp and the Russians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort called the report \"absurd\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/us/politics/russia-intelligence-communications-trump.html?_r=0\">and told the newspaper\u003c/a>: \"It's not like these people wear badges that say, 'I'm a Russian intelligence officer.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort's comment caused head-scratching at the time it appeared, but Comey and Quigley's exchange on Monday created the prospect for a story about Russia not necessarily using Trump campaign aides as agents but as dupes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. What did Trump know — and when did he know it?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If Comey's investigation results in no charges or new information about ties between Trump's camp and Russia, the White House would get rid of an albatross that has been around its neck for months. But if the FBI charges former Trump campaign officials, or reveals links between the Trump camp that haven't already been aired publicly, that could escalate quickly and land the president or his top campaign aides in hot water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump never retreats and never apologizes, and so far has mounted a brash defense. He flits between sometimes acknowledging the Russian mischief during the presidential race and sometimes dismissing it as a fiction created by Democrats to excuse their loss.

In fact, he said, the FBI has been doing so since last July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The signs had been there, from press reports to the announcement by Attorney General Jeff Sessions that Sessions would recuse himself from any such probe. Now, Comey's disclosure to the House Intelligence Committee removes all doubt that the FBI believes there is sufficient evidence to look into the connections between Trump's onetime political aides and the Kremlin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case that Russia interfered in the presidential campaign \u003ca href=\"https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ICA_2017_01.pdf\">has been made\u003c/a> — the U.S. intelligence community laid out an unclassified version in December and then-President Barack Obama responded by \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/12/29/507436692/obama-expels-35-diplomats-imposes-retaliatory-sanctions-against-russia-for-hacki\">expelling a group of Russian spies\u003c/a> and sanctioning some of its key officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In fact, the panel's chairman, California Rep. Devin Nunes — who served on Trump's transition team — and his fellow Republicans spent as much of their time as they could drawing the focus away from the Russian collusion narrative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The real outrage, Republicans argue, is the leaking of classified information to the \u003cem>Washington Post\u003c/em> and other newspapers, especially the identity of former Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn as having been swept up in U.S. government surveillance of Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flynn resigned after a brief stint as Trump's national security adviser and has since \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/10/519703341/michael-flynn-admits-lobbying-may-have-benefited-turkish-government\">retroactively registered as a foreign agent\u003c/a> for his work representing Turkish interests. Democrats revealed on Friday that \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/16/520444056/former-trump-national-security-adviser-was-paid-to-advise-russian-firms\">Flynn had also taken more than $50,000 in payments\u003c/a> from Russian government entities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, led by ranking member Adam Schiff, also of California, used their time on Monday to put Trump and the Russians together as closely as possible, including in an \u003ca href=\"http://schiff.house.gov/news/press-releases/intelligence-committee-ranking-member-schiff-opening-statement-during-hearing-on-russian-active-measures\">extended opening statement\u003c/a> by Schiff that laid out his theory of the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of Schiff's statement, however, relied on information that's already publicly available or which has been called into question. Monday's session did not include major new details about the alleged ways that the Trump camp may have worked with the Russian intelligence services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it did raise new questions about the imbroglio — some of which lawmakers may answer at a second session now scheduled for March 28, and some of which might not be cleared up until the FBI announces the results of its investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>1. How much evidence is still to be discovered? And how reliable is what's now public?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Schiff crafted a narrative about the Russians' first exploration of the presidential candidates to a critical period from July to August of 2016. If Moscow began by trying simply to learn more about the potential next U.S. president, it shifted to trying to hurt the likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, and then helping her opponent — or so the argument goes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff relied on information that has appeared in press reports and some that appears in a controversial dossier passed from a former British intelligence officer to Comey by Arizona Sen. John McCain. NPR and other news organizations \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ombudsman/2017/01/13/509563890/the-thinking-behind-nprs-reporting-on-the-trump-dossier\">have refrained from reporting such details\u003c/a> because of the unknown provenance of the dossier — but does Schiff's use of it in the public hearing indicate that at least some of the information has been verified?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democrats' case also rests on conversations between Trump advisers and people connected to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU, or other top Russians. But how much more detail exists about what was said in those meetings? How much effort are congressional or FBI investigators making to interview Trump's campaign advisers?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. Might Trump aides have colluded with Russia without knowing it?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One new thread that emerged from Monday's hearing came as part of an exchange between Comey and Illinois Democrat Mike Quigley, who asked whether it's possible for Americans to help a foreign power and not know about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, Comey answered cautiously — an American might give information to someone he legitimately believes is a Chinese researcher and isn't aware is actually a Chinese intelligence officer. Or an American might fall in love with someone and not realize he or she is in a relationship with a foreign agent: \"Romance could be a feature,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could explain denials by people at the center of the Trump-Russia imbroglio, including former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who resigned after reports about his connections to pro-Kremlin government factions in Ukraine. The \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> referred to Manafort \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/us/politics/russia-intelligence-communications-trump.html?_r=0\">in a story in February\u003c/a> about U.S. intelligence officials documenting many alleged connections between the Trump camp and the Russians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort called the report \"absurd\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/us/politics/russia-intelligence-communications-trump.html?_r=0\">and told the newspaper\u003c/a>: \"It's not like these people wear badges that say, 'I'm a Russian intelligence officer.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort's comment caused head-scratching at the time it appeared, but Comey and Quigley's exchange on Monday created the prospect for a story about Russia not necessarily using Trump campaign aides as agents but as dupes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. What did Trump know — and when did he know it?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If Comey's investigation results in no charges or new information about ties between Trump's camp and Russia, the White House would get rid of an albatross that has been around its neck for months. But if the FBI charges former Trump campaign officials, or reveals links between the Trump camp that haven't already been aired publicly, that could escalate quickly and land the president or his top campaign aides in hot water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump never retreats and never apologizes, and so far has mounted a brash defense. He flits between sometimes acknowledging the Russian mischief during the presidential race and sometimes dismissing it as a fiction created by Democrats to excuse their loss. That strategy has continued to be workable, and Republican aides on Capitol Hill have shown continued willingness to carry water for the White House in responding to press reports or handling inquiries like those on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But charges against Trump aides, or new revelations about collusion between the campaign and Russian agents, would change all that — and fast. Democrats may never forgive Comey for revealing just before Election Day that the FBI had resumed some inquiries into Hillary Clinton's private email server, which Clinton and Democrats say threw a close election to Trump. Now the president, the White House and their Republican allies on Capitol Hill are under a similar Sword of Damocles.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. How will Russia respond to the investigations and their outcome?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Comey, National Security Agency Director Michael Rogers and other top U.S. intelligence officials have taken care not to say whether they believe Russia succeeded in influencing the outcome of the 2016 election — only that they're confident Moscow conducted an influence campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Will Russian President Vladimir Putin turn out to have invested wisely or to have been the dog that caught the car? If Putin wanted the U.S. to relax the Obama-era sanctions imposed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, that ship may have sailed — the scrutiny of Trump's connections to Moscow may have now made even the appearance of any deal impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And American military deployments in Eastern Europe, including of armored units along NATO's frontier with Russia and of ships and aircraft in the Black Sea, have continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of this means, however, that Putin is finished meddling in American politics, Comey warned. He told members of Congress on Monday that the Russians, for their own purposes, likely are satisfied with their work — having sowed confusion and undercut faith in the U.S. democratic process — and may try it again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., joked that he was certainly no fan of Trump during the campaign and made the case that Republicans didn't blockade Garland's nomination to allow Trump to make a nomination because most of them didn't believe Trump would win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you believe this has been a great plan to get a Trump nominee on the court, then you had to believe Trump was going to win to begin with,\" said Graham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The South Carolina Republican pointed out that he had voted to confirm President Obama's two Supreme Court nominees, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, because they were qualified for the bench and not because he agreed with their politics. Graham urged his Democratic colleagues to give Gorsuch the same deference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm dying to hear someone over there tell me why [Gorsuch] is not qualified to be sitting here,\" Graham said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Texas Sen. Ted Cruz claimed in his comments that Gorsuch's nomination carried with it a \"superlegitimacy\" because Trump made the Supreme Court vacancy a major campaign issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Democrats devoted many of their opening statements to pushing back against the so-called Republican obstructionism that they believe caused Scalia's seat to remain vacant for more than a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Judiciary Committee once stood against a court-packing scheme that would have eroded judicial independence. That was a proud moment. Now, Republicans on this committee are guilty of their own 'court unpacking scheme,' \" said Sen.
