White House records from 6 January 2021 obtained by the select committee investigating the Capitol riot show a seven-hour gap in Donald Trump’s phone logs – a period of time that spans the all-important hours before, during and after the incident. @CheriJacobus

@DeptofDefense @PentagonPresSec The intelligence sharing will be “more pronounced” and more clarity given to U.S. intelligence officials to be certain what is being shared is “keeping pace” with Ukrainian needs, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said.

@DeptofDefense @PentagonPresSec Kirby said the intelligence shared helps the Ukrainians to “defend themselves.” He said the intelligence already being provided includes some for the Dombas region, which analysts now envision as the area of the next big Russian attempted push.

@DeptofDefense @PentagonPresSec @CIA It continues through today, with such precision as telling Ukrainians that Russia’s 18th Motorized Rifle Division is being transferred to the eastern borders of Ukraine. That division, formed in 2021, has three mechanized infantry regiments as well as an armored regiment.

@DeptofDefense @PentagonPresSec U.S. intel has been on point for the lead-up to the Russian invasion and since. For example, the first time some Russian officials discovered Russian was mulling action against Ukraine from @CIA director William Burns during his visit to #Moscow in early November.

HOW ABOUT THAT: Pentagon deputy spokesperson Sabrina Singh confirms that the Pentagon overestimated the value of the ammunition, missiles and other equipment it sent to Ukraine by around $3 billion… and still counting. That could mean “more” money for weapons being sent to Kyiv.
