With its House counterpart imploding<\/a> thanks to the late-night excursions and executive coziness of its chairman Devin Nunes, the Senate Select Intelligence Committee soldiers on in its investigation of Russia\u2019s interference in the 2016 presidential election.<\/p>\n After the bombshell that the Trump campaign is in fact under FBI investigation<\/a>\u00a0dropped\u00a0during the early\u00a0moments of the House Select Intelligence Committee\u2019s last open hearing, what happens next is anyone\u2019s guess. Thursday\u2019s Senate hearing lacks the star power of a high-ranking intelligence official like James Comey, but interviews with both scholars and cybersecurity experts should create some context around Russia\u2019s disinformation efforts<\/a>, \u201cfocusing on a primer in Russian active measures and influence campaigns.\u201d<\/p>\n The day will be divided into two separate panels, with a morning focus on \u201cthe history and characteristics\u201d of Russian campaigns, and the afternoon on \u201cthe role and capabilities of cyber operations in support of these activities.\u201d<\/p>\n The first panel will feature Eugene Rumer, director of the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Georgetown Professor of Government Emeritus Roy Godson and Clint Watts, a senior fellow with the Foreign Policy Research Institute\u2019s program on national security.<\/p>\n The afternoon will take a turn toward tech, with testimony from FireEye CEO Kevin Mandia and retired general and IronNet Cybersecurity CEO Keith Alexander. Alexander was previously the director of the NSA.<\/p>\n Today in remarks about the committee\u2019s ongoing investigation, Chairman Richard Burr and Vice Chairman Mark Warner revealed\u00a0that they have a list of 20 witnesses<\/a> they plan to bring in.<\/p>\n \u201cWe anticipate inviting additional individuals to come and be interviewed, and ultimately some of those interviewed individuals may turn into private or public hearings by the committee,\u201d Burr said. \u201cIt would be safe to say we have had conversations with a lot of people, and it would be safe to say [former Trump National Security Adviser] Gen. Flynn is a part of that list.\u201d<\/p>\n The first part<\/a> of the hearing will begin at 10 a.m. Eastern time, with the cybersecurity panel<\/a> starting at 2 p.m. Both should be viewable on a C-SPAN3 live stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n Featured Image: bootbearwdc<\/a>\/Flickr<\/a> UNDER A CC BY 2.0<\/a> LICENSE (IMAGE HAS BEEN MODIFIED)<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/14699210_33f2ae1fb9_b-e1490826598678.jpg?w=680\")
