So has this come up? Putin said during presser that we are still under the 1999" treaty on mutual assistance on criminal cases". This allows each central authority to SHARE INTEL AND EVIDENCE in criminal cases. According to the ratified treaty in congress (see pic) and link- https://www.congress.gov/congressional-report/107th-congress/executive-report/3/1

Who is the authorized Central Authority to share information? NOne other than the Assistant Attorney General for Criminal Division. What position was just filled on July 11, merely a week before the Russia Summit? Exactly- Brian Benczkowski who was in limbo for a year. Now he is "in position" to be the Central Authority for exchanging evidence IF Russia for some reason wanted to gain information on a criminal case they have pending. HOW DO YOU RELEASE THE INFO? YOU SHARE IT PER A TREATY IN EFFECT AND LET THE RUSSIANS DISTRIBUTE IT.
