.@mitchellreports asks DNI dan coats why he issued a statement on interference on monday that contradicted trump: “i was just doing my job … it was important to take that stand.” #aspensecurity
COATS says he wishes TRUMP had made a different statement re: russia.

given "what we had assessed and reassessed and reassessed and carefully gone over still stands...it was important to take that stand on behalf of the IC and on behalf of the american people.” #aspensecurity
“could is not a definitive word here. […] it’s undeniable that the russians are taking a lead on this. they are the ones that are trying to undermine our basic values & divide us” -COATS at #aspensecurity
COATS on trump/ putin meeting: "I don't know what happened in that meeting. i would've suggested [it be done] a different way, but that's not my call,” adds that "that risk is always there” if russia recorded it. #aspensecurity
what a stunning statement by DNI COATS: “according to our information, there is nothing that happens in that country that Vladimir Putin doesn't know about or ordered.” #aspensecurity
sheesh, DNI coats says he was not aware that the white house has invited vladimir putin to the white house. says he would look for a “different way” of doing a meeting between the two presidents besides a 1-on-1. #aspensecurity

the judge also imposed a gag order on both sides, saying comments from butina's lawyer robert driscoll "crossed the line." the judge said they make it even harder to find a jury pool that would ensure a fair trial in DC
the judge also scolded federal prosecutors for last week's misstep, when the DOJ said they were "mistaken" by describing the messages butina sent about sex as being serious in offering sex for employment; judge said she was "dismayed" someone at the DOJ read the messages that way

hello from alexandria, where we just saw paul manafort in a forrest green jumspsuit- albeit briefly.

we’re in recess until 2pm, when the judge will grant or deny the defense’s motion to delay the start of trial, slated for wednesday.
the judge, TS ellis III also granted immunity to 5 witnesses that the special counsel plans to call.

AND they will be named publicly before the trial starts, whether that is wednesday or not.
okay back into court we go. manafort won’t be in when we find out if the trial starts wednesday or not.
