[dropcap]Some[/dropcap] know it as the Awan Brothers scandal. It refers to five Pakistani-American computer experts who worked for 42 members of Congress. The House Inspector General flagged the IT workers' behavior as suspicious but said Democrats and Republicans blocked her from doing a thorough investigation. An attorney for one of the brothers says it's been proven that they did nothing wrong. We dig into the case on this week's Full Measure.
Also this week, Joce Sterman reports on the legacy of horrific human experiments the US conducted on Guatemalans decades ago. US scientists intentionally infected hundreds with venereal diseases in an effort to find treatments or cures.

This is an incredible tale with unexpected twists and turns. That's our cover story on Sunday's Full Measure.

[dropcap]A[/dropcap] lot of new information has come out in the year since President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. No matter whether you admire Trump, Comey, both or neither — it’s now difficult to argue that Trump made the wrong move in removing Comey. Even many of Trump’s detractors would agree that no president should keep in place the head of a crucial division who — along with some of his top staff — apparently worked to undermine or control the president, and exercised poor judgment in important matters.

[dropcap]There[/dropcap] has been a major change in thinking when it comes to risks of commonly use MRI dye but I'll bet you haven't heard much of anything about it. We were first to report on the heath problems Gena Norris, the wife of Chuck Norris, had after her MRIs. This week on Full Measure, an important safety update about MRI dye that you won't want to miss.
Those home DNA test kits can be lots of fun but -- guess what? The companies are using your genes to build a DNA database that will be worth billions of dollars. If they find you have a gene that's resistant to cancer, and they sell it to a private pharmaceutical company that makes billions developing a medicine or vaccine from it, you'll never receive a penny--or even know. Lisa Fletcher investigates.

[dropcap]I[/dropcap] first started wondering when I spoke to several top intel officials in 2016 who served under President Obama as well as other Democrat and Republican presidents.
At a time when the news was plastered with stories about Russia, these officials saw more serious national security threats. Ahead of Russia, they named North Korea (which was rapidly developing missiles that it could arm with nukes and reach the U.S.), Iran (the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism, which would undoubtedly use some of the billions released under the Obama administration to continue funding anti-Western militant groups) and China (for its confrontational actions in the China Sea, its history of interfering in U.S. elections and its growing economic aggression.)

[dropcap]It's[/dropcap] illegal for foreign governments, citizens and corporations to donate to US politicians. But it's legal for them to hire middlemen--US PR firms, lobbyists and law groups--to write our laws, meet with US government officials, arrange interviews with US media, places op-eds in news publications and generate positive social media. I've been combing through federal disclosure records disclosing which countries are paying which US companies to act as their "foreign agents," particular when it comes to nemeses Russia and Ukraine. That's this week's cover story.
