I don't want to hear anyone defending Trump as he is whining about not having knowledge about Flynn.

TRUMP WAS REFUSING INTELLIGENCE AND MILITARY BRIEFING DURING HIS CAMPAIGN. 

END OF DISCUSSION.

The Flint Residents need to organize to bring their affidavits before the court.

Affidavits, including and evidence such as doctor records, hospital records and hospital bills. The pediatrician and the professor and his students need to provide affidavits as well. They should be asked to participate so the court knows how all this transpired and how a group of people from Virginia came to Flint.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals (click here) will not reconsider a request from Flint city officials who claim they should be immune from litigation related to a Flint water crisis lawsuit.

Several judges in support of denying the request said it would be inappropriate for the full appellate court to weigh in at this juncture in the case before Flint residents have had time to gather evidence to prove their claims.

A three-member panel from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in January that Flint officials should not be dismissed from the case filed by Flint residents Shari Guertin and her child, Diogenes Muse-Cleveland, even though Republican former Gov. Rick Snyder and several state officials had been dismissed more than a year earlier.

Flint officials asked that the full Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, not just the three-member panel, hear their arguments for dismissal, but the court denied the request Thursday in a decision that included concurrent and opposed opinions from judges on the court....


The hearings have to go forward. There is reason there is a two party system.

WashingtonAll 10 Democratic members (click here for the letter) of the Senate Judiciary Committee today sent a letter to Chairman Lindsey Graham requesting a hearing with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The letter outlines 60 unanswered questions that could be addressed at a hearing.

“The Mueller report is a seminal document that caps the special counsel’s nearly two year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election,” the senators wrote.“However, as comprehensive as the report is, it’s clear there are many outstanding questions that remain unanswered.”

The senators continued: “Having Special Counsel Mueller before the committee is necessary to get those questions answered. The attached document identifies at least 60 unanswered questions related to both Russian interference and obstruction of justice.”...


Trump is actively undermining the rule of law.

If one follows the thread from the US House false findings into the Russian invasion of the elections of 2016, to the current focus by Barr to indict FBI agents, officials and former officials as well as the Special Counsel, it is premeditated. IT IS ALL SCRIPTED at least for the purpose of the campaign to no information voters. Trump must have an "Apprentice" staff writer somewhere in the shadows.

Besides Barr setting up a shadow governance in the DOJ, Congress is busy trying to repeal laws that Trump has already violated.

Remember the US House investigation on Russian invasion into the 2018 elections when the Republicans were a majority?

The reason Trump is so puzzled about how to approach "Nancy" is that he wants her to continue to undermine the Rule of Law in the USA and there is always impeachment. But, Trump knew before the 2018 elections he would be more troubled by the truth in the Senate than the House.

Additionally, the base supporters of Trump are getting their ideology purposed to cause violence in the country. The abortion law from Alabama was purposed as a campaign stump speech long before it passed into law by stories of women and doctors committing infanticide while calling it abortion. That speech came before the law, so the Tea Party is locking arms.

With the actions of Nunes, when in leadership, it is very easy to say the Tea Party Republicans/Freedom Caucus are using their elected power to undermine the Rule of Law. That goes for spineless Republicans like McConnell as well who is convinced that Trump's extremism is their own avenue to electability. That loyalty to electability is anti-American as it leads to dangerous rhetoric that is a direct threat to the USA Constitution.

Eliminating the law regarding private conversations with foreign governments won't change any sanctions currently standing as legislated law.

In a rally, Trump stated he was going to round up the Deep State and prosecute them, that is why the anti-law speech by Barr. Barr is a political operative and Trump's defense attorney and not serving the American people. It is time for him to go. Barr was an extremist before in his loyalty to Republican presidents. Enough.

House investigators (click here) have released a highly anticipated report on Russia’s election interference. Among the recommendations in the report, the lawmakers called for the repeal of a federal statute barring private citizens from negotiating with foreign countries for the United States without authorization.

18 U.S. Code § 953.Private correspondence with foreign governments (click here)

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both....

Friday’s report by the House Intelligence Committee came almost two months after the panel said it had finished its investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible links to political campaigns. Investigators found no evidence that President Donald Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russia, the report said, a finding that the president was quick to point out on Twitter on Friday.

The report also called for Congress to repeal the Logan Act, a statute that says private citizens cannot negotiate with foreign countries on behalf of the U.S. unless they are authorized to do so....

The United States of America has foreign policy for a reason. People like Trump and the Trump Company do not have the right to change that policy for their convenience and profit.

It is notable that the US House Representatives that proposed such a change in USA foreign policy law should receive ethics reviews. Their constituency needs to be aware of their violation of the public trust.

War requires allies.

So much for tariffs. There is a bunch of neocons in the White House, what does anyone expect? War is a staple for these jerks.

Additionally, putting tariffs on perishable commodities like agricultural products is never done. For the most part food and the items that go into food production are usually viewed from a humanitarian perspective and not greed to pay off the national debt and eliminate taxes for all. The entire idea of placing tariffs on agricultural products is anti-American. Is there something wrong with Canadian milk?

President Donald Trump (click here) on Friday announced a delay in imposing tariffs on imported vehicles from the European Union, Japan and other nations for 180 days to pursue negotiations, avoiding opening another front in his tariff battle with some of America’s key allies.

The Commerce Department submitted its findings in February to the president after conducting a probe into whether car imports pose a national-security threat. Trump had until Saturday to decide how to respond, including whether to impose tariffs or defer any action.

Trump said in a proclamation released in Washington that he agreed with the conclusion by Commerce that imports of cars and their parts represent a national security threat....
It has been a remarkable 24 hour. It seems all to clearly that Barr is attempting to build an alternate reality to entertain the no information voter White Nationalists/Supremacists. I do believe Trump expects an uprising of some sort should me be impeached. I don't know why it won't stop impeachment.

Barr needs to be impeached and his license permanently revoked. He has lied, although not under oath, to the American people and today he is attempting to further commit fraud in creating a parallel DOJ and manufacturer a corrupt Deep State. He has to go. I don't care if the Senate is full of political animus and will play the part, Barr has to go and the result of a US House impeachment passed onto licensing parties for his revocation. If that can be done without impeachment, then the US House needs to do so.

In a meeting room in the US House, the Special Counsel's report was read. That was interesting. And in a courthouse where a former general of the USA military was being held for crimes the judge opened the documents for public view. The president's personal counsel actively pursued corruption of Former General Michael Flynn in preventing his cooperation with the Special Counsel.  The icing on the cake was when at least one member of the US Congress tried to do the same. It would seem as though there should be many more trials for those that attempted to obstruct justice.

And there is a tape.

A new court filing (click here) in former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s case, reveals Flynn told Mueller about specific, documented instances, where people linked to the Trump administration may have affected even his willingness to cooperate with the Russia probe. Former Attorney General Eric Holder tells reporters he believes there are grounds for impeachment.
