A Spanish prosecutor who has spearheaded investigations into Russian organised crime said wiretapped conversations involving a pro-Putin oligarch who met with Donald Trump Jr. had been sent to the FBI.
In remarks reported by Yahoo News, José Grinda told the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington, that Spanish police had wiretapped conversations between Alexander Torshin, a deputy governor of Russia's Central Bank, and convicted money launderer and mafia boss Alexander Romanov.
"Just a few months ago, the wiretaps of these telephone conversations were given to the FBI," Grinda said in response to a question from the outlet.
Torshin, who has forged close links with the National Rifle Association (NRA), spoke with Trump Jr., president Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., during a meeting of gun rights lobby groups in May 2016.

When CNN approached @DevinNunes for comment on this story, he replied, “I don't talk to you in this lifetime or the next lifetime.”
"At any time," Nunes added. "On any question."https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/22/politics/nunes-vienna-trip-ukrainian-prosecutor-biden/index.html

I just realized that, for whatever reason, Sondland got his testimony about his "no quid pro quo" call with President Trump wrong. He testified that the call took place on September 9th, but that can't possibly be true

Posting a few paragraphs can’t do this justice. Serious derangement

Great NY Times live analysis on Dr. Hill's laying the boom against Castor/MOOnes!!
Katie RogersWhite House Correspondent
Charlie, she is underscoring the point that Sondland had been ordered to stray away from national security and foreign policy to undertake a political errand. And as Sondland himself testified, it was at the hands of people at the most senior levels of government, right on up to the president.

This, in a nutshell, is the whole conflict that has been animating these hearings.
Hill is really running over the Republicans now.

With a few exceptions, the audience here in the hearing room is hanging on to Hill’s every word.

I agree Nick. She is nailing it and she is not letting the Republicans interrupt her.

Hill is now undercutting another point Republicans have been making. She says Tim Morrison misrepresented concerns he said she had about Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a key witness.
1:43 PM ET
Katie RogersKatie RogersWhite House Correspondent
It should be noted that Hill has talked about her anger and discomfort with Sondland during that time period, but she is not rattled as she is relaying all of this. If Republicans might’ve hoped to weaponize the anger she is talking about, she is not showing it here.

HPSCI members can't under rules of comity, call out Nunes for his Lev Parnas tour of Europe, but they could enter the article into the congressional record to tie Parnas' name to Nunes.
