“We want to rock the boat”: American “progressives” are teaming up with Russia to push for a “Calexit”. Why dictators hate chess: Jacob Weisberg interviews Garry Kasparov on Vladimir Putin’s meddling and America’s response. “What the Russians did was utterly unprecedented”: The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, criticizes Donald Trump, and the leader and members of his own party, for mishandling a “grave danger” to the republic. Trump on alleged election interference by Russia: “Get on with our lives”. Obama administration is close to announcing measures to punish Russia for election interference. Senator Lindsey Graham says Russia can expect hard-hitting sanctions.
