There, they worked in the world’s most productive farm industry, in its vast sea of grape vines, fruit trees and multi-seasonal crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But early that March morning, as the Garcias drove through town, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents closed in on their SUV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attempting to evade agents, the undocumented couple sped down a country road.

And in Delano — where in 1965 the United Farm Workers first carved their place in history — anger and fear about what happened has added urgency and upped the stakes for the midterm election occurring tomorrow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has been huge wake-up call for the Latino community,” said Yazmin Hernandez, 22, a graduate of Fresno State University who helps legal permanent-resident immigrants in Delano apply for citizenship. “As a child of farmworkers,” she said, “I really want to vote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But do others agree? Hernandez and a lot of young Latinos like her — many motivated, some less so — could be pivotal to what happens in this grape-growing region with a disappointing history of voter turnout. That history explains why get-out-the-vote campaigns hoping to energize thousands of voters have been sweeping through California’s Central Valley in recent weeks, as labor groups and immigrant rights activists aim to send a message to President Donald J. Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the eye of the storm: the district’s congressman, U.S. Rep. David Valadao, a Republican who has defied the odds by being elected three times in a district where Democrats hold a registration advantage and Hillary Clinton was victorious just two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Youth Get Involved\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There’s no escaping Delano’s dramatic past. Not far from the roadside shrine commemorating the Garcias, the United Farm Workers’ original adobe headquarters, “Forty Acres,” is now a national historic landmark — something few would have imagined in the late 1960s here in Kern County. A bronze plaque and other markers explain Delano’s place in a chapter of American history that still rankles some conservatives and divides people here even today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took a five-year strike and a national boycott campaign for the UFW to obtain its first union contract in 1970 benefiting Mexican-American and Mexican and Filipino immigrant grape laborers. As door-to-door voter turnout campaigns tick up to Election Day, Forty Acres is a reminder that change can take root slowly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703753\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703753\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-800x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-800x300.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-160x60.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-1020x382.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-1200x450.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-1180x442.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-960x360.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-240x90.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-375x140.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-520x195.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Delano is home to Forty Acres, now a national historic landmark.

Out of the 53 seats allotted to California in the House of Representatives, only 14 districts are held by Republicans in a state that’s been gradually turning deep blue for years now. Delano, 77 percent Latino, sits in one of the GOP pockets: the sprawling 21st Congressional District. The Almanac of American Politics says Valadao has won here against Democratic candidates “who have consistently under-performed initial expectations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stretching more than 150 miles northwest to southeast, the Valley district includes parts of Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Kern counties and a piece of the city of Bakersfield. The district is also home to a smattering of small cities, Naval Air Station Lemoore, a major fighter base, and mile after mile of crops and dairy farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interest in midterm elections is usually tepid compared to presidential races. But it’s the age of Trump, and California is a state where Latinos, mostly Mexican-American, are now the single largest demographic.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“As a child of farmworkers, I really want to vote.” \u003ccite>Yazmin Hernandez, 22 \u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Against this backdrop, Democrats hope that more door-to-door contact with “low-propensity” voters and “ticket splitters” will channel that anti-Trump sentiment into victories in at least a few GOP-held districts. If that happens, GOP California could shrink more and contribute to “flipping” the Republican-held U.S. House of Representatives to Democrats. But Valadao has not been alone in bucking the tide; neighboring conservative districts are held by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702053/the-nations-most-expensive-congressional-race-is-in-the-central-valley\"> rising conservative star Devin Nunes.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats would dearly love to do better here. But even enthusiasts don’t expect turnout miracles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statewide, Latinos are only 21 percent of those most likely to vote in elections generally, even though 34 percent of those eligible to vote in California are Latino, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But young people, especially, who are scared for their peers’ or their own undocumented parents, say there’s no choice but to hit the streets and persuade those eligible to cast ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We share a history as the children of immigrant parents. We don’t know if the next ICE pursuit will be for one our families,” said Bryan Osorio, 22, who grew up in Delano. He explained the personal stakes for so many here during a meeting at Delano’s sole Starbucks. The coffee shop wasn’t far from where workers, swaddled in scarfs to fend off dust, were gleaning the last of this area’s gargantuan crop of table grapes to ship back East.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703756\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703756\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-800x534.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-800x534.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-240x160.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-375x250.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-520x347.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4.jpeg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bryan Osorio, 22, of Delano, talks to an 80-year-old Delano voter.

Obamacare was a boon to many low-income residents here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district chose Democrat Hillary Clinton over Trump by more than 15 points in 2016, making it one of seven GOP-held Congressional districts where the Democrat prevailed. But even though Democrats in the 21st had an estimated 16-point registration advantage over Republicans, voters returned Valadao to Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“We share a history as the children of immigrant parents. We don’t know if the next ICE pursuit will be for one our families.” \u003ccite>Bryan Osorio, 22 who grew up in Delano\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Like the more nationally recognizable Nunes, Valadao, 41, comes from dairy-farming roots. A bank seized Valadao’s family farm in June due to $8 million in unpaid loans, a crisis Valadao said exemplifies the travails of farmers he serves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A mild-mannered man, he recently posed in Arizona with President Trump, along with Nunes and McCarthy of Bakersfield, who hopes to vault from GOP majority leader to Speaker of the House if the GOP retains control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The photo op on Oct. 19 was all about irrigation water — a massive issue here. It showcased Trump signing a memo accelerating biological reviews of water systems that Central Valley farmers — and workers — hope will divert more water from California rivers bearing endangered species. Trump’s move was met here with strong approval, and there was Valadao by his side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to its tight bond with agribusiness, the valley is also one of California’s most culturally conservative regions. Evangelical churches are prominent, along with conservative talk radio in English and Spanish. Some local Latino activists suggest that Valadao has benefited at the polls because some voters think he is of Mexican heritage. In reality, Valadao is of Portuguese descent, as is Nunes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what gives Democrats hope for this election?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s lacerating rhetoric about Mexican immigrants has upset a lot of people, so even if they regard Valadao as moderate, Trump has further tarnished the Republican brand in California. About 62 percent of the 21st district’s residents who are eligible to register to vote are Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These immigrants risk their lives to work here,” said Mexican-American Erica Cruz, 48, a self-employed hairdresser whose husband used to be undocumented. “Latinos are getting picked on. This town thrives on Latinos…Trump is putting us in a terrible position and we’re scared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s irksome to Cruz because it’s plain to her that the region’s agribusiness industry — America’s farm powerhouse — has benefited from people who shoulder all the risks that come with undocumented immigration. Workers have assumed the burden of paying smugglers thousands of dollars to get them over the border, so they can take back-breaking jobs they obtain by showing fake documents that employers have no obligation to authenticate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, it’s common for there to be no bright line between documented and undocumented in towns like Delano because there are many “mixed status” families, with some members citizens, others legal residents and still others who are undocumented, “sin papales,” without papers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703757\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703757\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5-800x534.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5-800x534.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5.jpeg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Immigrant workers are the backbone of agribusiness in California’s 21st Congressional District and other GOP-held districts in the Central Valley.

Veronica Terriquez, who is a UC Santa Cruz associate professor of sociology, organized the Freedom Summer project. Research, she said, shows that kids are often “socialized” to vote and learn about candidates and issues within their family. The project is trying to address the absence of that socialization in Central Valley homes because so many kids’ parents aren’t citizens and either can’t vote or vote infrequently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools, too, Terriquez said, don’t devote a lot of time encouraging voting. She said some Central Valley school administrators, worried about controversy, were initially hesitant to allow returning college students to talk with younger kids and conduct registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the high school students asked if there were concerns if she, a citizen, registered, and her parents were undocumented,” Terriquez added.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11697624/why-is-it-so-hard-to-engage-latino-voters-theyre-young-and-historically-neglected\">Why Is It So Hard to Engage Latino Voters?

We’re here about issues, like affordable housing, fair rents, making sure immigrant families are protected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United Farm Workers are also active in the district, though they’re focused more on a state Assembly race. On their rounds, canvassers explain the union’s slate choices, which include Valadao’s opponent, TJ Cox. UFW member Nancy Oropeza, who’s working on the effort, said that canvassers have also left potted flowers with voters to remind them — when you water the flower, think about voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“I don’t like people deported for no good reason.” — Veronica Lopez, 36, a medical technician\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The UFW assignment was to reach a universe in multiple towns of 16,000, face-to-face, who are Latino and infrequent voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first thing we’ve been hearing from people we contact is: Trump, Trump. He attacks us,” Oropeza said. “Once they say, yes, they want to vote, you go back to ensure they’ve received their ballot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at Delano’s Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, another influential institution in town — which has collaborated with the UFW to aid the orphaned Garcia children — Father Miguel Campos said the church doesn’t favor candidates in elections. But the church does believe that elections matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We tell people,” he said, “that it’s a civic and Christian duty to vote.” Tomorrow he’ll find out whether they’re listening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: This story was updated at 7:15 a.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time Donald Trump lands at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar north of San Diego on Tuesday, he will have been President of the United States for 59 weeks and four days. That's the longest any president has gone without visiting the Golden State, outdistancing the previous record-holder, Franklin Roosevelt, who got here by train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The visit comes one week after \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/03/06/a-g-sessions-to-make-major-announcement-on-sanctuary-policies-in-sacramento/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Trump administration sued California over its sanctuary policies\u003c/a>, just the latest in many political and legal skirmishes between Washington and California since Trump took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We know his first stop will be near the border with Mexico, where he's expected to view prototypes for the border wall he's promising to build, whether Mexico pays for it or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then he's off to Los Angeles for a Beverly Hills fundraiser Wednesday to benefit the Republican Party. There have also been unconfirmed rumors that Trump will add a Thursday trip to Fresno with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/devin-nunes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rep. Devin Nunes\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're not privy to that,\" said Mariann Hedstrom, chairwoman of the Tulare County Republican Party. \"We'll probably find out 10 minutes before it's announced,\" she said, stressing as far as she knows, it's just a false rumor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are five things to look for during Trump's first trip to California:\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Who greets him on the tarmac?\u003c/strong> When President Barack Obama came to California, he was almost always greeted by local officials, such as the mayor, members of Congress or others hoping to get in the photo. With Trump as unpopular as he is in California, will San Diego Republican Mayor Kevin Faulconer be there when Air Force One touches down? And if so, how long will he be with him? Faulconer opposes the border wall.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Will the president and Gov. Jerry Brown meet?\u003c/strong> The governor has expressed some openness to seeing him, but given the recent levels of vitriol — \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/03/07/gov-brown-calls-sessions-lawsuit-part-of-a-reign-of-terror/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brown called the recent lawsuit part of a \"reign of terror\" against California \u003c/a>— that seems unlikely. Given how much Trump seems to love drama, perhaps he'll extend an invitation. Who knows?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>For a president known to prefer sleeping in his own bed (or at least a bed he \u003cem>owns\u003c/em>), Trump is spending an extraordinary amount of time in California. \u003cstrong>What will he do with all that extra time?\u003c/strong> A round of golf at one of the many fabulous country clubs in Southern California is always possible (\u003cem>Note to Trump: Due to his ankle injury, Steph Curry is not available to play a round, as he often did with President Obama). \u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How intense will anti-Trump protests be?\u003c/strong> There's no shortage of groups the Trump administration has enraged, including environmentalists, legal cannabis promoters, the LGBTQ community, women and, of course, immigrants rights organizations and their supporters. You know they'll be cooking something up.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Does the Fresno rumor pan out?\u003c/strong> One Republican official blamed the Fresno Bee for spreading a false rumor, but think of all the tongues that would wag if the president and Devin Nunes hold a rally together in the Central Valley. It would be huuuuge.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday the governor\u003cem> did\u003c/em> send the president \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11655168/brown-letter-to-trump-our-prosperity-is-not-built-on-isolation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a letter\u003c/a> inviting him to visit the Central Valley for a look at the bullet train now under construction there. It seems unlikely Trump will take him up on that, given Republicans, led by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakersfield, have derailed federal funding for the financially troubled project.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That's the longest any president has gone without visiting the Golden State, outdistancing the previous record-holder, Franklin Roosevelt, who got here by train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The visit comes one week after \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/03/06/a-g-sessions-to-make-major-announcement-on-sanctuary-policies-in-sacramento/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Trump administration sued California over its sanctuary policies\u003c/a>, just the latest in many political and legal skirmishes between Washington and California since Trump took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We know his first stop will be near the border with Mexico, where he's expected to view prototypes for the border wall he's promising to build, whether Mexico pays for it or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then he's off to Los Angeles for a Beverly Hills fundraiser Wednesday to benefit the Republican Party. There have also been unconfirmed rumors that Trump will add a Thursday trip to Fresno with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/devin-nunes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rep. Devin Nunes\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

With Trump as unpopular as he is in California, will San Diego Republican Mayor Kevin Faulconer be there when Air Force One touches down? And if so, how long will he be with him? Faulconer opposes the border wall.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Will the president and Gov. Jerry Brown meet?\u003c/strong> The governor has expressed some openness to seeing him, but given the recent levels of vitriol — \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/03/07/gov-brown-calls-sessions-lawsuit-part-of-a-reign-of-terror/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brown called the recent lawsuit part of a \"reign of terror\" against California \u003c/a>— that seems unlikely. Given how much Trump seems to love drama, perhaps he'll extend an invitation. Who knows?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>For a president known to prefer sleeping in his own bed (or at least a bed he \u003cem>owns\u003c/em>), Trump is spending an extraordinary amount of time in California. \u003cstrong>What will he do with all that extra time?\u003c/strong> A round of golf at one of the many fabulous country clubs in Southern California is always possible (\u003cem>Note to Trump: Due to his ankle injury, Steph Curry is not available to play a round, as he often did with President Obama). \u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How intense will anti-Trump protests be?\u003c/strong> There's no shortage of groups the Trump administration has enraged, including environmentalists, legal cannabis promoters, the LGBTQ community, women and, of course, immigrants rights organizations and their supporters. You know they'll be cooking something up.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Does the Fresno rumor pan out?\u003c/strong> One Republican official blamed the Fresno Bee for spreading a false rumor, but think of all the tongues that would wag if the president and Devin Nunes hold a rally together in the Central Valley. It would be huuuuge.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday the governor\u003cem> did\u003c/em> send the president \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11655168/brown-letter-to-trump-our-prosperity-is-not-built-on-isolation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a letter\u003c/a> inviting him to visit the Central Valley for a look at the bullet train now under construction there. It seems unlikely Trump will take him up on that, given Republicans, led by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakersfield, have derailed federal funding for the financially troubled project.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Trump and his supporters deny colluding and make the dossier a favorite target because of its salacious contents and because it remained unverified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR and other news organizations have not detailed the contents of the dossier because it remains unproved, but Schiff's memo suggests that the Justice Department actually has corroborated parts of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"6qetxHaDA8QagUpmBhtdYXYomHWsUsJL\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which parts? That is blacked out. So there is no way to know whether it's some of the anodyne background aspects of the file -- or the more infamous passages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the same, it is significant that the Justice Department has established for its own purposes that at least some of the contents of the dossier aren't either simply false or Russian disinformation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. The feds collected \"valuable intelligence\" from Carter Page\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Onetime Trump adviser Carter Page is the main character of the dueling memos. For Republicans, he is a civil liberties martyr who was cruelly wronged by \"biased\" FBI and DoJ officials who duped a judge into authorizing intrusive surveillance against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff's memo makes a very different case. It not only cites Page's years-long flirtations with Russia's foreign intelligence service, the SVR, but highlights what it calls the worthwhile information yielded by spying on him. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act requires that warrants produce something. The FBI can't keep one going if the subject of the surveillance isn't talking with people of interest or involved with clandestine activities. Page evidently was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"6Je6usAILrAHaGmpPiuOmGN3erIICJ9d\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why it was significant that Justice Department officials from the administration of President Obama and into that of President Trump, including Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, signed the applications to reauthorize the surveillance on Page. Although it was possible to surmise before that the spying was producing evidence, Schiff's memo confirms that explicitly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Court-approved surveillance of Page allowed FBI to collect valuable intelligence,\" it says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What did the feds learn? Those sections are blacked out. Phrases that do appear in this section, however, include \"repeatedly contacted\" and \"contradict his sworn testimony\" to the intelligence committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. The FBI investigated other people in Trump world\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Page's case has become well known. So has the story of another junior foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, George Papadopoulos, who was importuned by Russian agents offering help to Trump. But the FBI has been investigating more people in the Trump camp, according to the Democrats' countermemo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff's memo describes how material from the dossier didn't begin to reach the FBI unit running its counterintelligence investigation into Trump and Russia until seven weeks after it had begun its work. Then the memo says this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By then, the FBI had already opened sub-inquiries into [redacted] individuals linked to the Trump campaign: [redacted]\" and Page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is important for a few reasons. One, the wording of this passage suggests at least three or four subjects. Two, it doesn't seem to suggest that Trump himself was the subject of a \"sub-inquiry,\" verifying a defense he has offered several times. Three, it suggests these other people might have been the subject of government surveillance in addition to Page -- and that raises the question about whether the FBI might still be monitoring people in Trump's orbit today, including within his family or the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. Republicans have not budged from their earlier attack\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Schiff and Democrats use much of their memo to defend the FBI and Justice Department. The agencies made appropriate disclosures to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in asking to surveil Page, the Democrats argue, and Republicans' other attacks are \"irrelevant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes continues to argue they are, in fact, pretty relevant. His statement on Saturday continued to focus on what he called the abuse of power in Page's case, including what he said were the FBI's failures to give all the relevant information it had about the Democratic-underwritten dossier and Page's own record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"mJ0iqWVScTJtufIj6XjXtqK6JKKiQBTM\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The American people now clearly understand that the FBI used political dirt paid for by the Democratic Party to spy on an American citizen from the Republican Party,\" Nunes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House, meanwhile, complained that Democrats omitted in their memo that former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe had said that the dossier was the basis for the FISA application on Page. Schiff's memo does make its own case in that point and argues the FBI would have continued its investigation of the Russian attack and Page without the dossier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This back-and-forth is important because although the Russia imbroglio is moving on -- with new indictments brought by Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller, new guilty pleas and other such developments -- the political attack lines, so far, have not.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. The template has been established for memo madness\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The more a game is played, the more adept teams become at its rules and strategies. Basketball defenders deliberately foul an opponent to force a free-throw. A manager brings up a left-handed reliever to pitch inside to a dangerous left-handed hitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican memo gambit and last weekend's Democratic riposte complete the first enactment of what could become a recurring sideshow inside Washington. The majority uses its control of the committee and its alliances inside the executive branch to release an unexpurgated file even if some of the relevant agencies object -- as the FBI and Justice objected to the release of the Nunes memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The minority can't twist the arms of the agencies controlled by its opponents and it can't get parity with the opening shot: Nunes' memo was released by lunchtime on a Friday following a week of extensive coverage. Schiff's memo came out with no preliminary fanfare on a Saturday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So will this be the template for each game? Or will Nunes and Schiff take a different approach next time? And with the rules more or less set, how will other players respond? Round Two is already different: Nunes suggested he was preparing another memo about what he calls problems with President Obama's State Department. So a former State official wrote\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/devin-nunes-is-investigating-me-heres-the-truth/2018/02/08/cc621170-0cf4-11e8-8b0d-891602206fb7_story.html?utm_term=.55757a11a921\"> a column in the Washington Post\u003c/a> that tried to short-circuit that attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Round One of memo v. countermemo now complete, the stage is now set for new permutations of the game that may last as long as the Russia saga itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Three, it suggests these other people might have been the subject of government surveillance in addition to Page -- and that raises the question about whether the FBI might still be monitoring people in Trump's orbit today, including within his family or the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. Republicans have not budged from their earlier attack\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Schiff and Democrats use much of their memo to defend the FBI and Justice Department. The agencies made appropriate disclosures to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in asking to surveil Page, the Democrats argue, and Republicans' other attacks are \"irrelevant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes continues to argue they are, in fact, pretty relevant. His statement on Saturday continued to focus on what he called the abuse of power in Page's case, including what he said were the FBI's failures to give all the relevant information it had about the Democratic-underwritten dossier and Page's own record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The American people now clearly understand that the FBI used political dirt paid for by the Democratic Party to spy on an American citizen from the Republican Party,\" Nunes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House, meanwhile, complained that Democrats omitted in their memo that former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe had said that the dossier was the basis for the FISA application on Page. Schiff's memo does make its own case in that point and argues the FBI would have continued its investigation of the Russian attack and Page without the dossier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This back-and-forth is important because although the Russia imbroglio is moving on -- with new indictments brought by Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller, new guilty pleas and other such developments -- the political attack lines, so far, have not.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. The template has been established for memo madness\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The more a game is played, the more adept teams become at its rules and strategies. Basketball defenders deliberately foul an opponent to force a free-throw. A manager brings up a left-handed reliever to pitch inside to a dangerous left-handed hitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican memo gambit and last weekend's Democratic riposte complete the first enactment of what could become a recurring sideshow inside Washington. The majority uses its control of the committee and its alliances inside the executive branch to release an unexpurgated file even if some of the relevant agencies object -- as the FBI and Justice objected to the release of the Nunes memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The minority can't twist the arms of the agencies controlled by its opponents and it can't get parity with the opening shot: Nunes' memo was released by lunchtime on a Friday following a week of extensive coverage. Schiff's memo came out with no preliminary fanfare on a Saturday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So will this be the template for each game? Or will Nunes and Schiff take a different approach next time? And with the rules more or less set, how will other players respond? Round Two is already different: Nunes suggested he was preparing another memo about what he calls problems with President Obama's State Department. So a former State official wrote\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/devin-nunes-is-investigating-me-heres-the-truth/2018/02/08/cc621170-0cf4-11e8-8b0d-891602206fb7_story.html?utm_term=.55757a11a921\"> a column in the Washington Post\u003c/a> that tried to short-circuit that attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>President Trump will not immediately release a memo drafted by Democrats on the House intelligence committee intended to respond to a memo by that committee's Republican chairman released last week, with the White House instead suggesting revisions of sensitive sections before it is made available to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Although the President is inclined to declassify the February 5th [Democratic] Memorandum, because the Memorandum contains numerous properly classified and especially sensitive passages, he is unable to do so at this time,\" White House counsel Donald McGahn wrote in a letter to Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., chair of the House intelligence committee. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"However, given the public interest in transparency in these unprecedented circumstances, the President has directed that Justice Department personnel be available to give technical assistance to the Committee, should the Committee wish to revise the February 5th Memorandum to mitigate the risks identified by the Department.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Executive branch stands ready to review any subsequent draft of the February 5th Memorandum for declassification at the earliest opportunity,\" McGahn also wrote in the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"tGs7ceWmYSeZW02wySF4ppqAVniD3lAI\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic countermemo, authored by the committee's ranking member Adam Schiff, D-Calif., was drafted in response to the Nunes memo which contends that officials at the Department of Justice and the FBI abused their authority in authorizing surveillance on former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Nunes memo is 4 pages long, people who have read it told NPR's Philip Ewing that the Schiff memo is 10 pages and contains many footnotes intended to rebutt arguments made by the GOP document.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House intelligence committee voted Monday to release the Democratic memo, but it was up to President Trump whether or not to declassify the information contained it and give his approval for its release as he did last week with the Nunes memo. Democrats urged him to make the memo public, and even top Republican leaders such as House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., agreed it should be released just as the Nunes memo had been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., blasted Trump's decision, saying the president's \"double standard when it comes to transparency is appalling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"BXLCmXj2zejjwRFlE4zgKjNhmUhz5AkQ\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The rationale for releasing the Nunes memo, transparency, vanishes when it could show information that's harmful to him. Millions of Americans are asking one simple question: what is he hiding?\" Schumer also said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Nunes memo was declassified and released without any redactions, and Trump saw the document as evidence that the investigation by DOJ special counsel Robert Mueller was politically motivated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This memo totally vindicates 'Trump' in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their [sic] was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!\" the president \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/959798743842349056\">tweeted\u003c/a> last Saturday, one day after the Nunes memo was released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the Nunes memo also shows that the Justice Department and the FBI did not launch their probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election because of an unverified dossier about Trump and Russia compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele. Republicans have seized on the Steele dossier because he was commissioned by the political research firm Fusion GPS, which was hired by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, it was Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos and meetings he had with agents of the Kremlin where he was offered dirt on Hillary Clinton that triggered the investigation, the Nunes memo says.

Democrats urged him to make the memo public, and even top Republican leaders such as House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., agreed it should be released just as the Nunes memo had been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., blasted Trump's decision, saying the president's \"double standard when it comes to transparency is appalling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The rationale for releasing the Nunes memo, transparency, vanishes when it could show information that's harmful to him. Millions of Americans are asking one simple question: what is he hiding?\" Schumer also said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Nunes memo was declassified and released without any redactions, and Trump saw the document as evidence that the investigation by DOJ special counsel Robert Mueller was politically motivated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This memo totally vindicates 'Trump' in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their [sic] was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!\" the president \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/959798743842349056\">tweeted\u003c/a> last Saturday, one day after the Nunes memo was released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the Nunes memo also shows that the Justice Department and the FBI did not launch their probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election because of an unverified dossier about Trump and Russia compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele. Republicans have seized on the Steele dossier because he was commissioned by the political research firm Fusion GPS, which was hired by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, it was Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos and meetings he had with agents of the Kremlin where he was offered dirt on Hillary Clinton that triggered the investigation, the Nunes memo says.

It does not; the memo delineates how the FBI's Russia investigation began earlier with another foreign policy aide who has since \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/10/31/560835237/first-guilty-plea-in-russia-probe-who-is-george-papadopoulos\">pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Richard Burr, R-N.C., said in October that for the purposes of his investigation, the question of whether the Trump campaign conspired with the Russians who attacked the 2016 election \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/10/04/555638795/question-still-open-about-u-s-collusion-with-russian-influence-campaign\">remains \"open.\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and the White House say there was no collusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the FBI and Justice Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/31/582148612/fbi-warns-of-grave-concerns-about-accuracy-of-gop-snooping-memo\">deny any wrongdoing\u003c/a> on their part involving surveillance warrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats argue the Nunes document glosses over some aspects of the story and leaves out others.
