My internet connection was interrupted during the final segment of questioning. I will most likely spend time at the library tomorrow for uninterrupted listening to the final time segment.

That said, I have seen segments on the evening news and Rep. Wasserman - Schultz asked how she can coroborate Mr. Cohen’s testimony so I have some suggestions.

I would make a complete list of the information I was looking for such as, “Please send me all the known dates and times of postings of Guccifer 2.0 in relation to the election of 2016,” and “Send any supporting evidence to the fact Guccifer 2.0 was involved in the hacking of the DNC headquarters and that of the Clinton Campaign, as well as the dates and times connected to communications with Wikileaks.” Then Representative, I would address that list to relevant agencies directly such as the FBI, CIA and European intelligence agencies and perhaps Interpol. Caution with Interpol as about six months or so ago or more a Russian operative was attempting to take over leadership of the agency.

I would not send requests through the Homeland Security Secretary as that is a conflict of interest and possible obstruction of justice. So, enlist people and agencies that can be honest and trustworthy. The requests must be specific to focus the desired information for efficiency and expediency of the request. A simple statement such as, “Please send any coroborating evidence to the Michael Cohen testimony before Congress,” is very broad in it’s scope and requires interpretation and expertise that will submit the request to a lengthy process and quite possibly make it untenable to answer. 

I think the US House has enough talented people that can narrow down what is needed and pin point the important information. Allow the LIST to be satisfied as the information is accumulated without any particular order, date or time it is delivered to your desk. A partial fulfillment of the list will begin to build clarity and quite possibly as more information rolls in will complete the picture far sooner than waiting for a completed task.

That is probably clear as mud, but, just dive in and ask a staffer to follow up regularly and bring it to your attention regularly. Good luck.

Do I mistrust the Secretary of Homeland Security? Are there children in detention camps without a clear path for their future? The answer to both is, yes.
