    Burr and Warner both furious with appropriators for adding language in the CR that limits Senate Intel’s ability to direct the intelligence community to spend money. Language was added at OMB’s request

        What does this have to do with anything other than giving the administration power to hold up spending for the Mueller investigation. Are there no limits to the administration's obstruction and the GOP's capitulation?

        That’s plausible, although I think the IC leadership would have an aneurysm over this.

        IF they know about it, yes, I agree. But my understanding is that the wording allows for $ transfers w/no Congressional oversight: essentially a way 2 fund secret/black operations.https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2018/1/18/1733772/-Trump-s-Secret-Police …

        Lol. The analogy I have heard is that ICE is the Gestapo, and Erik Prince's outfit would be the SS. Although I think the distinctions aren't all that important, since their goals are what concern me

        Gestapo described as 'secret police' trying to quash all Nazi resistance. I think that term better applies. But you're right, the distinctions don't matter, it's the creeping authoritarianism that does.

        Just had a thought... If they "pulled a fast one" on this...what motivation does The Turtle have to keep his word? Very, very disappointed in their actions today.

        Still want to know how this language was put into the CR by the White House. Where is the detail on this to be found? Perhaps the friendly blogger could help us out on this some? Seriously asking. No snark intended. This seems wrong.

        @maddow . This sounds like a big deal to me. Sounds like they might have to ask the WH for funding thereby releasing info on what they are investigating.

        This is especially concerning when tied to reports from last year that Trump met with Erik Prince to discuss an independent intelligence agency, just for him.https://www.cnn.com/2017/12/05/politics/erik-prince-private-spy-network-trump-administration/index.html …
