Amid last week’s bomb-cyclone news cycle, which included a major summit with Russia and the takeover of the Washington, D.C., police force by the Trump administration, one could be forgiven for missing yet another Russiagate bombshell.

Clapper replied to Rogers’ concerns, according to newly released documents.
