His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>James Comey's much-anticipated memoir, \u003cem>A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership,\u003c/em> doesn't pull any punches when it comes to condemning the tenure of President Trump. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former FBI director, whom Trump unceremoniously fired, paints a picture of a chief executive only concerned about his own image in the press instead of the safety of the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book isn't set to be released until next week, but NPR has obtained a copy. In it, Comey reflects on the circumstances surrounding his dismissal, reveals further insights into his fraught conversations with the president and examines his own controversial decisions — namely how he handled the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server and whether he impacted Clinton's chances against Trump in the 2016 presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are five major areas Comey examines in the memoir:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>1. Trump's \"unethical\" and \"transactional\" Mafia-like approach\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The broad portrait Comey tries to paint is of Trump as a president so far outside democratic norms that he is a danger to the republic as he spouts conspiracy theories and untruths regularly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This president is unethical, and untethered to truth and institutional values,\" Comey writes. \"His leadership is transactional, ego driven and about personal loyalty.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And ultimately, it may have been Comey's refusal to bend to that demand for loyalty, he believes, that led to the president to suddenly fire him almost a year ago. That set in motion the appointment, by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, of special counsel Robert Mueller. The title of Comey's book itself is a nod to his belief that a public servant's allegiance should not be to one man but instead to the belief in democratic ideals and to the Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early in his law career, Comey writes, he worked as a prosecutor targeting organized crime, and he compares many of his interactions with Trump to those of mobsters and the Mafia.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/05/15/527773206/what-just-happened-the-james-comey-saga-in-timeline-form\">The James Comey Saga, In Timeline Form\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/05/15/527773206/what-just-happened-the-james-comey-saga-in-timeline-form\">\u003cimg src=\"https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2017/05/10/ap_17129807287428-41f7d297bc889255f8ece4811990290fdb3e705e-s1600-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"The silent circle of assent.

Were Trump's actions illegal? \u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Comey also writes about the pressure he felt from Trump when the president asked the then-FBI director whether he could \"see your way clear to letting this go, to letting [Michael] Flynn go.\" The president's longtime ally and former national security adviser, Flynn, had to resign because he had misrepresented to Vice President Pence his conversations with Russia's ambassador during the presidential transition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flynn has since pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI as part of a plea deal with Mueller. Precisely what Trump and others knew about what took place during the presidential transition and the early weeks of the administration remains unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey reserves judgment on whether Trump's actions then and other times since constituted obstruction of justice, admitting, \"I have one perspective on the behavior I saw, which while disturbing and violating basic norms of ethical leadership, may fall short of being illegal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He does, however, fault those who overlook how much he says Trump's actions are beyond the pale. Comey's ire seems to extend to much of a Republican Party that he appears to feel has made a Faustian bargain with Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is also wrong to stand idly by, or worse, to stay silent when you know better, while a president brazenly seeks to undermine public confidence in law enforcement institutions that were established to keep our leaders in check,\" Comey writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difficulty confronted by the Washington establishment is embodied by retired Marine Gen. John Kelly. Comey writes that after he was fired, then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kelly phoned and offered to resign in protest in an \"emotional call\" with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said he didn't want to work for dishonorable people who would treat someone like me in such a manner. I urged Kelly not to do that, arguing that the country needed principled people around this president. Especially this president,\" Comey writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than three months later, Trump would tap Kelly to be his chief of staff, but his relationship with Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/john-kelly-trump-oval-office-meeting-threatened-quit-f29667d3-d99f-4e23-92f6-9c48c360722b.html\">is described as tenuous\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. The backlash over the Clinton email investigation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While many liberals and opponents of the president will likely cheer the stinging rebuke Comey delivers of Trump, they also won't forget one of his most controversial decisions. Comey released a letter less than two weeks before the 2016 election revealing the FBI had reopened its investigation into Clinton's private email server used while she was secretary of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many in Clinton's camp — and the former Democratic nominee herself — have said they believe that may have swayed the election. Ultimately, the weekend before the election, the FBI said no relevant information had been found. Clinton, however, felt she had been tarred too much too close to Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his testimony before Congress last year, Comey told senators the idea that he had impacted the election with that pronouncement made him \"mildly nauseous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have read she has felt anger toward me personally, and I'm sorry for that,\" Comey writes in the memoir. \"I'm sorry that I couldn't do a better job explaining to her and her supporters why I made the decisions I made.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his book, Comey explains that one reason he felt he had to release the letter was because he believed that Clinton was going to win — and he didn't want her presidency to be tainted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is entirely possible that, because I was making decisions in an environment where Hillary Clinton was sure to be the next president, my concern about making her an illegitimate president by concealing the restarted investigation bore greater weight than it would have if the election appeared closer or if Donald Trump were ahead in all polls. But I don't know,\" Comey writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11662012\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/gettyimages-693805668comeyaskew_wide-fba99371cb1191370d6c05af0bf64ec60eefc120-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Former FBI Director James Comey testifies before the Senate intelligence committee on June 8, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11662012\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former FBI Director James Comey testifies before the Senate intelligence committee on June 8, 2017. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After Clinton's loss to Trump, Comey says President Barack Obama reassured Comey he had conducted himself the right way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I picked you to be FBI director because of your integrity and your ability,\" Obama said, according to Comey. \"I want you to know that nothing – nothing – has happened in the last year to change my view.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. Comey's \"extremely careless\" damnation \u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In July 2016, Comey went before TV cameras to announce that the Justice Department would not be filing charges against Clinton but that he felt she had acted irresponsibly by handling classified material on the personal email server.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the book, Comey writes that he regrets using the language \"extremely careless\" to describe Clinton's conduct because it is so similar to \"grossly negligent\" — the legal standard under which she might have been prosecuted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone on the investigative team agreed there was no case against Clinton, Comey writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey said he still believes he did the right thing by making that statement because the Justice Department had taken a similar approach in other high-interest investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, he also confirms that the FBI had unverified classified information that could have hurt then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch's credibility in overseeing the probe — and that's one reason he took a more high-profile role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Had it become public, the unverified material would undoubtedly have been used by political opponents to cast serious doubt on the attorney general's independence in connection with the Clinton investigation,\" Comey says. He doesn't elaborate more on what that information may be, simply that it's a \"development still unknown to the American public to this day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/how-a-dubious-russian-document-influenced-the-fbis-handling-of-the-clinton-probe/2017/05/24/f375c07c-3a95-11e7-9e48-c4f199710b69_story.html?utm_term=.0c803703aaff\">The Washington Post has reported\u003c/a> that the FBI obtained what appeared to be a Russian intelligence intercept that described documents in which Lynch assured Clinton's campaign that she would go easy on them in the email investigation. Comey and other FBI officials are believed to have suspected that intelligence was phony, but it, in part, prompted Comey to take matters into his own hands given the damage it might have done to Lynch's credibility if it became public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lynch has also come under fire for a tarmac meeting with Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, as the investigation was underway. Comey says he saw no evidence of her interfering with the probe.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. Trump's obsession with the Steele dossier — instead of Russian interference\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Comey also says that Trump was intently focused on disproving some salacious allegations in the unverified dossier — authored by former British spy Christopher Steele — about Trump's alleged actions with Russian prostitutes, raising it several times with Comey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump \"strongly denied the allegations, asking — rhetorically, I assumed — whether he seemed like a guy who needed the service of prostitutes,\" the former FBI director writes. One reason Trump wanted the allegations disproved was because he feared there was a very slim chance his wife, Melania, might believe them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He just rolled on, unprompted, explaining why it couldn't possibly be true, ending by saying he was thinking of asking me to investigate the allegation to prove it was a lie. I said it was up to him,\" Comey writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one thing that Comey said wasn't on Trump's mind was dealing with the threat posed by Russia. The United States had publicly blamed Russia for interfering in the 2016 race, and by early 2017, the outgoing Obama administration was taking punitive actions including kicking out intelligence officers and closing Russian diplomatic posts inside the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and his advisers, however, were not curious about any of that, Comey writes. He recounts a meeting in which he and intelligence officials briefed the then-president elect in January 2017 in Trump Tower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and his aides were more concerned with how to \"spin\" the information they had just been given and concerned about the perception that people might believe the only reason Trump was elected was because of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/05/23/528500501/lies-forgery-and-skulduggery-the-long-history-of-active-measures\">the Russian \"active measures\" effort.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They were about to lead a country that had been attacked by a foreign adversary, yet they had no questions about what the future Russian threat might be,\" Comey writes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Comey writes that after he was fired, then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kelly phoned and offered to resign in protest in an \"emotional call\" with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said he didn't want to work for dishonorable people who would treat someone like me in such a manner. I urged Kelly not to do that, arguing that the country needed principled people around this president. Especially this president,\" Comey writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than three months later, Trump would tap Kelly to be his chief of staff, but his relationship with Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/john-kelly-trump-oval-office-meeting-threatened-quit-f29667d3-d99f-4e23-92f6-9c48c360722b.html\">is described as tenuous\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. The backlash over the Clinton email investigation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While many liberals and opponents of the president will likely cheer the stinging rebuke Comey delivers of Trump, they also won't forget one of his most controversial decisions. Comey released a letter less than two weeks before the 2016 election revealing the FBI had reopened its investigation into Clinton's private email server used while she was secretary of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many in Clinton's camp — and the former Democratic nominee herself — have said they believe that may have swayed the election. Ultimately, the weekend before the election, the FBI said no relevant information had been found. Clinton, however, felt she had been tarred too much too close to Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his testimony before Congress last year, Comey told senators the idea that he had impacted the election with that pronouncement made him \"mildly nauseous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have read she has felt anger toward me personally, and I'm sorry for that,\" Comey writes in the memoir. \"I'm sorry that I couldn't do a better job explaining to her and her supporters why I made the decisions I made.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his book, Comey explains that one reason he felt he had to release the letter was because he believed that Clinton was going to win — and he didn't want her presidency to be tainted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is entirely possible that, because I was making decisions in an environment where Hillary Clinton was sure to be the next president, my concern about making her an illegitimate president by concealing the restarted investigation bore greater weight than it would have if the election appeared closer or if Donald Trump were ahead in all polls. But I don't know,\" Comey writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11662012\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/gettyimages-693805668comeyaskew_wide-fba99371cb1191370d6c05af0bf64ec60eefc120-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Former FBI Director James Comey testifies before the Senate intelligence committee on June 8, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11662012\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former FBI Director James Comey testifies before the Senate intelligence committee on June 8, 2017. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After Clinton's loss to Trump, Comey says President Barack Obama reassured Comey he had conducted himself the right way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I picked you to be FBI director because of your integrity and your ability,\" Obama said, according to Comey. \"I want you to know that nothing – nothing – has happened in the last year to change my view.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. Comey's \"extremely careless\" damnation \u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In July 2016, Comey went before TV cameras to announce that the Justice Department would not be filing charges against Clinton but that he felt she had acted irresponsibly by handling classified material on the personal email server.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the book, Comey writes that he regrets using the language \"extremely careless\" to describe Clinton's conduct because it is so similar to \"grossly negligent\" — the legal standard under which she might have been prosecuted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone on the investigative team agreed there was no case against Clinton, Comey writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey said he still believes he did the right thing by making that statement because the Justice Department had taken a similar approach in other high-interest investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, he also confirms that the FBI had unverified classified information that could have hurt then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch's credibility in overseeing the probe — and that's one reason he took a more high-profile role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Had it become public, the unverified material would undoubtedly have been used by political opponents to cast serious doubt on the attorney general's independence in connection with the Clinton investigation,\" Comey says. He doesn't elaborate more on what that information may be, simply that it's a \"development still unknown to the American public to this day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/how-a-dubious-russian-document-influenced-the-fbis-handling-of-the-clinton-probe/2017/05/24/f375c07c-3a95-11e7-9e48-c4f199710b69_story.html?utm_term=.0c803703aaff\">The Washington Post has reported\u003c/a> that the FBI obtained what appeared to be a Russian intelligence intercept that described documents in which Lynch assured Clinton's campaign that she would go easy on them in the email investigation. Comey and other FBI officials are believed to have suspected that intelligence was phony, but it, in part, prompted Comey to take matters into his own hands given the damage it might have done to Lynch's credibility if it became public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lynch has also come under fire for a tarmac meeting with Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, as the investigation was underway. Comey says he saw no evidence of her interfering with the probe.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. Trump's obsession with the Steele dossier — instead of Russian interference\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Comey also says that Trump was intently focused on disproving some salacious allegations in the unverified dossier — authored by former British spy Christopher Steele — about Trump's alleged actions with Russian prostitutes, raising it several times with Comey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump \"strongly denied the allegations, asking — rhetorically, I assumed — whether he seemed like a guy who needed the service of prostitutes,\" the former FBI director writes. One reason Trump wanted the allegations disproved was because he feared there was a very slim chance his wife, Melania, might believe them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He just rolled on, unprompted, explaining why it couldn't possibly be true, ending by saying he was thinking of asking me to investigate the allegation to prove it was a lie. I said it was up to him,\" Comey writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one thing that Comey said wasn't on Trump's mind was dealing with the threat posed by Russia. The United States had publicly blamed Russia for interfering in the 2016 race, and by early 2017, the outgoing Obama administration was taking punitive actions including kicking out intelligence officers and closing Russian diplomatic posts inside the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and his advisers, however, were not curious about any of that, Comey writes. He recounts a meeting in which he and intelligence officials briefed the then-president elect in January 2017 in Trump Tower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and his aides were more concerned with how to \"spin\" the information they had just been given and concerned about the perception that people might believe the only reason Trump was elected was because of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/05/23/528500501/lies-forgery-and-skulduggery-the-long-history-of-active-measures\">the Russian \"active measures\" effort.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Deripaska holds a Russian diplomatic passport, for example, and has said he represented Moscow to other countries. The Treasury Department adds this: “There are also allegations that Deripaska bribed a government official, ordered the murder of a businessman, and had links to a Russian organized crime group.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Alexander Torshin\u003c/strong>, deputy governor of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, is notable in that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/03/01/590076949/depth-of-russian-politicians-cultivation-of-nra-ties-revealed\">he has cultivated deep ties with the National Rifle Association\u003c/a> for years. He has met four NRA presidents and attended five NRA conventions in the United States, including one at which he met Donald Trump Jr. in 2016.

So cash could have been shipped to the United States and seeded with political groups or individuals to make the money appear to be legitimate contributions, according to the CNN report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kerimov’s alleged technique of purchasing of “villas” to launder his money also comports with questions that Trump opponents have asked about his business relationships with wealthy foreigners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One way in which illicit money allegedly moves out of Russia is via real estate. A rich person buys property in the West — in London, New York or South Florida — without living in it. Instead, hot real estate markets in those places make it simple to resell a condo or a mansion and free up legitimate cash. In Kerimov’s case, he was allegedly using this scheme in the south of France when he was arrested in Nice last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, Donald Trump sold an estate he had purchased for around $42 million in Palm Beach, Fla., to Russian tycoon Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95 million. Rybolovlev then subdivided the property and began to sell it off as separate parcels, recouping some of the difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., an opponent of Trump, \u003ca href=\"https://www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/020918%20-Mnuchin%202008%20Palm%20Beach%20Trump%20Sale%20Letter.pdf\">has asked Mnuchin and the Treasury Department to provide information\u003c/a> about that sale as part of Congress’ job to “follow the money and conduct a thorough investigation into any potential money laundering or other illicit dealings” Trump may have had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and his associates deny any wrongdoing or business relationships with Russians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The cutouts\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russia’s active measures against the United States ranged from the theft and release of embarrassing political emails to social media agitation on Facebook and Twitter to exploratory cyberprobes of state elections systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They involved a web of intermediaries and cutouts in the same way as the practices described by the Treasury Department sanctions. Government cyber operatives stole emails from the Democratic National Committee and other victims but used purportedly independent actors — the now-shuttered Russian-created website DCLeaks or the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, which endures.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11651653/mueller-brings-more-charges-against-manafort-gates\">Mueller Brings More Charges Against Manafort, Gates\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11651653/mueller-brings-more-charges-against-manafort-gates\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Manafort-1180x905.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In June 2016, when Manafort, Trump Jr, and Jared Kushner met with a delegation of Russians in New York City after what emails to Trump Jr. described as an offer of help by the Russian government, none of the people they hosted were Russian government employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Trump Jr.’s emails described the desire to reach the Trump campaign that originated with a Russian official — federal prosecutor Yuri Chaika — but which traveled along a path of cutouts: Chaika talked to Donald Trump’s onetime business associate, who then spoke to his son, who then spoke to his publicist, who then contacted Trump Jr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump Jr., Kushner and Manafort all have denied conspiring with the Russian attack on the election. Manafort is facing federal charges that allege he acted as an unregistered foreign agent and laundered money, but he is not charged with conspiring with Russians who were attacking the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort has pleaded not guilty and has sued the government asking to dismiss the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are geopolitical implications to Friday’s sanctions announcement beyond the U.S.-Russia investigation.

Deripaska holds a Russian diplomatic passport, for example, and has said he represented Moscow to other countries. The Treasury Department adds this: “There are also allegations that Deripaska bribed a government official, ordered the murder of a businessman, and had links to a Russian organized crime group.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Alexander Torshin\u003c/strong>, deputy governor of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, is notable in that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/03/01/590076949/depth-of-russian-politicians-cultivation-of-nra-ties-revealed\">he has cultivated deep ties with the National Rifle Association\u003c/a> for years.

So cash could have been shipped to the United States and seeded with political groups or individuals to make the money appear to be legitimate contributions, according to the CNN report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kerimov’s alleged technique of purchasing of “villas” to launder his money also comports with questions that Trump opponents have asked about his business relationships with wealthy foreigners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One way in which illicit money allegedly moves out of Russia is via real estate. A rich person buys property in the West — in London, New York or South Florida — without living in it. Instead, hot real estate markets in those places make it simple to resell a condo or a mansion and free up legitimate cash. In Kerimov’s case, he was allegedly using this scheme in the south of France when he was arrested in Nice last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, Donald Trump sold an estate he had purchased for around $42 million in Palm Beach, Fla., to Russian tycoon Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95 million.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 12:12 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration imposed new sanctions against Russia on Thursday, slapping punitive measures on 19 people and five entities over their alleged role in Moscow's interference in the 2016 election and other \"destructive\" cyberattacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sanctions mark the most significant move against Russia since President Trump took office more than a year ago. They arrived as Washington's closest ally, Britain, is locked in a diplomatic struggle with Moscow after accusing the Kremlin of using a nerve agent to poison a former Russian intelligence officer living in the United Kingdom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also joined the leaders of the U.K., France and Germany on Thursday in issuing a statement that condemned the poisoning attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the Russians sanctioned by the U.S. on Thursday are 13 people and three entities, including the Internet Research Agency, indicted by Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller for their alleged role in Moscow's influence operation during the 2016 campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has repeatedly questioned whether Russia did indeed interfere with the election, despite the assessment of U.S. intelligence agencies that the Kremlin carried out a sweeping influence operation and propaganda campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lately, however, he has changed his tune and accepted that the active measures took place. Last week, he vowed to \"counteract very strongly\" any interference in this year's midterm races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/593895383/594062999\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two Russian intelligence agencies — the domestic-focused Federal Security Service, or FSB, and Russia's chief military intelligence organization, the GRU — also were hit with sanctions, along with six senior GRU officials. Several of those individuals already faced U.S. sanctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"qKJqghgg6Mwjdtq8lUNnAbWRnwoU73mV\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanctions against the government agencies are mostly symbolic and are not expected to seriously constrain their campaign of active measures against the West.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said, however, that the point is to continue pressuring and isolating Russia over its agitation against the West.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The administration is confronting and countering malign Russian cyberactivity, including their attempted interference in U.S. elections, destructive cyberattacks, and intrusions targeting critical infrastructure,\" Mnuchin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These targeted sanctions are part of a broader effort to address the ongoing nefarious attacks emanating from Russia.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the cyberattacks for which U.S. is trying to punish Russia was the \"NotPetya\" attack, which targeted computers in Ukraine. The U.S. attributes that attack to the Russian military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin said the administration plans to impose more sanctions in an effort \"to hold Russian government officials and oligarchs accountable for their destabilizing activities by severing their access to the U.S. financial system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics said the measures announced on Thursday were far too little, too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It took 14 months, multiple indictments, and a poisoning in Britain — but the administration is finally imposing the sanctions overwhelmingly approved by Congress,\" said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"However, sanctions alone are insufficient. Now we must protect our democracy going forward by securing our election systems and increasing transparency and disclosure requirements for online political advertisements.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administration officials say they're doing that. The Department of Homeland Security and FBI are working with state-level elections officials to familiarize them with the cyberthreats from abroad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the potential peril is broader than ever. National security officials told reporters on Thursday that cyberattackers also have focused on American critical infrastructure, including the electrical grid and key industrial facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The cyber actors are using a multistage attack campaign with staging and intended targets involved,\" one official said. \"And the campaign is long-term and still ongoing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreign cyberattackers gain access to internal networks involved with running a power plant, for example. Then they map the way it works and burrow deeper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After obtaining access, these actors conducted network recognizance, moved laterally and collected information pertaining to industrial control systems, the systems that run our factories and our grid.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An attack that crippled an American electrical system or another major industrial target would probably be viewed as a major act of war and could trigger an equal response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, it's not as likely as the lower-level interference that continues from Russia, but it remains part of the suite of weapons that nations could wield against each other in a crisis, in addition to their traditional military hardware.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

The U.S. attributes that attack to the Russian military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mnuchin said the administration plans to impose more sanctions in an effort \"to hold Russian government officials and oligarchs accountable for their destabilizing activities by severing their access to the U.S. financial system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics said the measures announced on Thursday were far too little, too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It took 14 months, multiple indictments, and a poisoning in Britain — but the administration is finally imposing the sanctions overwhelmingly approved by Congress,\" said Sen.

Now we must protect our democracy going forward by securing our election systems and increasing transparency and disclosure requirements for online political advertisements.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administration officials say they're doing that. The Department of Homeland Security and FBI are working with state-level elections officials to familiarize them with the cyberthreats from abroad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the potential peril is broader than ever. National security officials told reporters on Thursday that cyberattackers also have focused on American critical infrastructure, including the electrical grid and key industrial facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The cyber actors are using a multistage attack campaign with staging and intended targets involved,\" one official said. \"And the campaign is long-term and still ongoing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreign cyberattackers gain access to internal networks involved with running a power plant, for example. Then they map the way it works and burrow deeper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After obtaining access, these actors conducted network recognizance, moved laterally and collected information pertaining to industrial control systems, the systems that run our factories and our grid.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An attack that crippled an American electrical system or another major industrial target would probably be viewed as a major act of war and could trigger an equal response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, it's not as likely as the lower-level interference that continues from Russia, but it remains part of the suite of weapons that nations could wield against each other in a crisis, in addition to their traditional military hardware.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>After nearly a month of pronouncements, melodrama, headlines and strife, Round One of memo mania is finally complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Intelligence Committee Republicans \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/02/02/trump-formally-authorizes-congress-to-release-controversial-nunes-memo/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">went first with their Feb. 2 salvo\u003c/a> that alleged \"biased\" FBI and Justice Department officials had abused their surveillance powers by withholding information from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on Saturday, committee Democrats \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/02/24/congress-releases-redacted-declassified-democratic-memo/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">released a rebuttal\u003c/a> giving their perspective on the story -- or at least part of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One privilege enjoyed by Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, a California Republican, is that his majority on the panel -- and the presence of allies in the executive branch -- meant he could arrange for his memo to be released swiftly and in full.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The minority response by ranking member Adam Schiff took weeks and was partly redacted, with large sections blacked out to conceal secret information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though the countermemo is incomplete, it includes several points of interest that advance the never-ending story of the Russia imbroglio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/588719252/588927243\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>1.The FBI has corroborated parts of the Russia dossier\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The potential case that Donald Trump's campaign may have conspired with the Russian attack on the 2016 election has always been about more than the infamous dossier. 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.

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>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\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>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\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>\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>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
