Warner wants to know about Russian meddling and what we're doing to safeguard 2020, China, economically its impact and big tech companies and if we're tracking them.

Mark Warner was on NPR this morning, and I'm really jealous of Virginia, and their totally reasonable, non-nails-on-chalkboard-voice-having senator. I call my Senators to say thank you....a lot. I do not take them for granted.

What applications of big data by foreign adversaries should be worried about
Russian China can use it against our interests.
We can use it ourselves to find what influences are being thrown our way.

DNI Coates relies on his grandson to get tv on right channel (this was a joke I hope) They are talking about how to bring more people into service and how young people "are able to do some really cool stuff"

Warner asks about impact of shutdown on people who work for the departments
Wray says they haven't been able to tally yet. But is impressed with the professionalism shown by everyone.

Man, if this isn't parenthood summed up in a tweet This reminds me of our misadventures with M and soccer last summer. The instructor put on his magic (invisible) gloves to teach no hands on the ball. As he is demonstrating how the gloves make it impossible for anyone to pick up the ball — he picks it up and drops it; tries to pick it up, it slips — M runs directly in the middle of the circle, picks up a ball and runs off laughing. Without missing a beat the instructor goes, "Well I guess some people are immune to magic gloves." Meanwhile I'm doing this

Regarding the weather if someone tells me this shows “global warming isn’t a thing” I’m going to flip out on them. I know richard has it colder than me too and I think kitchen (WI right?)? Well 45 already did I meant people I can actually yell at 😉

Bridge Troll isn't concerned about Russia but is concerned about China.
Which is really interesting because Idaho has a pretty close relationship with some Chinese and chinese adjacent entities.

Marty Heinrich is asking about Skippy's security clearance.
Director Coats acknowledges that the WH has the authority to overrule the adjudicators and suggests FBI/DOD/ODNI are just the investigators (eyeroll)

Wray running with the same line.
"The decision is entrusted to the issuing entity"
That's.....not entirely accurate

The entire GOP is on the whole, Russia not bad, CHINA!! CHINA is berry berry bad.
I know China is bad, but its not like Russia is not going to dovetail into it and they've been at it longer.
General Ashly sounds exactly like Sen Warner

Oh Collins is asking about the lifted sanctions on Deripaska.
Haspel kinda throws Mnuchin under the bus, saying Agency works hard to keep all cabinet officials up to speed on what they need to know about Putin's efforts

Roger Stone is in court. I hope he tries his circusy nonsense with a federal judge. It won't work out well for him.

Senator Harris is up and she doesn't even look jetlagged.
She's asking about NK.
Haspel: they want to be able to nuke us. Dialogue is helpful. We need to get them to dismantle their program.
Coats: our eyes are wide open (are CiC's though?) Denuclearization is the goal. No evidence of tests or launching in past year.
Ashley: the threat is alive

House Dem leaders respond to Treasury lifting sanctions on Deripaska's companies: "We are considering additional legislative actions to ensure that Treasury and these companies comply with the agreement...and to prevent something like this from happening again in the future." t.co/BCUyNjCz2d
