And today the Treasury Department told me it wouldn't expedite processing of a FOIA for the agreement allowing Qatar to hold the money because it couldn't identify an immediate public interest.

To help out Treasury: It rhymes with corruption. It's also spelled the same as corruption.
SHAHEEN: It's been reported that the oil sold for $500 million and $300 million went to Venezuelan government. What happened to the other $200 million?

RUBIO: It's still sitting in the account is my understanding

SHAHEEN: The account in Qatar?

RUBIO: Yes

Precisely this.

It’s too classified to send to *some* members of Congress. But there are absolutely folks who are (or could be) cleared to be read in.

Even if it’s got to be a Gang of Eight only issue, send it to Congress.
I wish folks would quit reporting that it’s too classified to send to Congress. No it’s not. That is Gabbard’s EXCUSE for obstructing it.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.
