SSCI asked Cohen why he was willing to work with sanctioned banks on Trump Tower Russia. He said he didn't know, and if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

Of course.
SSCI confirms what HPSCI, in their post-plea Cohen hearing, had suggested: Cohen didn't turn over his emails to Peskov at first.

Trump Org, not Cohen, did the document collection for this subpoena.
That's important bc Trump's Mueller response ALSO pretends these emails don't exist.

Trump's lies on WikiLeaks are more and more glaring.

But his lies on Trump Tower are more of a slam dunk from an evidentiary standpoint.
SSCI notes this detail but doesn't note the significance of it.

Trump got an invite to Russia, but there's no record he ever declined it.
