James Comey refuses to tell Senate if FBI is investigating Trump-Russia links


  • FBI director: ‘I would never comment on investigations in an open forum’
  • Response stuns senators after his public remarks on Clinton’s email case

“I would never comment on investigations – whether we have one or not – in an open forum like this, so I really can’t answer one way or another,” said Comey, at a hearing into the US intelligence agencies’ conclusion that Russia intervened in the election to benefit Trump.

Comey’s reticence stunned several senators who pointed to his repeated public discussions of FBI inquiries into Clinton during the campaign.
 
Okay so this is basically the report that was referenced in the Mother Jones story a week before the election. Basically this confirms that the IC has seen the report and have submitted a summary to Barack and Trump. It does not however, speak to the validity of the report.

Not nearly as big a deal as I was first led to believe. Well, still a huge deal, but nothing new has actually surfaced since October, outside of CIA/FBI/NSA's acknowledgment of said report's existence.
 
WTF

The document was prepared for political opponents of Trump by a person who is understood to be a former British intelligence agent. It is not just unconfirmed: It includes some clear errors. The report misspells the name of one company, “Alpha Group,” throughout. It is Alfa Group. The report says the settlement of Barvikha, outside Moscow, is “reserved for the residences of the top leadership and their close associates.” It is not reserved for anyone, and is also populated by the very wealthy.

Arrgh, unless there's a second source to corroborate things this is going to be really easy to dismiss, and not exactly unfairly.
