Конгресс удваивает расследование

[tijd]

В дополнение к расследованию, начатому Сенатской комиссией по разведке, о начале своего расследования объявила схожая комиссия нижней палаты Конгресса. Расследование включает выяснение связей между российскими спецслужбами и избирательными кампаниями.

The scope of the Committee’s inquiry has included, and will continue to include:

- Russian cyber activity and other “active measures” directed against the U.S. and its allies;
- Counterintelligence concerns related to Russia and the 2016 U.S. election, including any intelligence regarding links between Russia and individuals associated with political campaigns;
- The United States Government response to these Russian active measures and any impact they may have on intelligence relationships and traditional alliances; and
- Possible leaks of classified information related to the Intelligence Community’s assessments of these matters.

Комиссию возглавляют два калифорнийца. Председатель: республиканец Devin Nunes, представляющий калифорнийскую глубинку вокруг нефтяного города Бейкерсфилда (где Трамп победил Клинтон с перевесом в 10%). Его заместитель: Adam Schiff, представляющий центральные районы Лос Анжелеса (где Клинтон победила Трампа с перевесом в 50%).



Из выступления Джерри Брауна, губернатора Калифорнии:

This is California, the sixth most powerful economy in the world. One out of every eight Americans lives right here and 27 percent - almost eleven million - were born in a foreign land.
When California does well, America does well. And when California hurts, America hurts.

As we face the hard journey ahead, we will have to summon, as Abraham Lincoln said, “the better angels of our nature.” Above all else, we have to live in the truth.
We all have our opinions but for democracy to work, we have to trust each other. We have to strive to understand the facts and state them clearly as we argue our points of view. As Hugo Grotius, the famous Dutch jurist, said long ago, “even God cannot cause two times two not to make four.”
