I thank Mr. Parnas for his forthright interview. I was right. Mr. Parnas and his friend Igor were Republican supporters believing they earned a chip in the big game. They became lackeys for the Trump administration.
It is astounding the depth of the corruption in the leadership of the Republican Party. I knew it was bad and Moscow Mitch is an example of how bad when considering he was willing to throw the USA Constitution under the bus in relation to the Trump impeachment.
Every Republican will call Mr. Parnas a liar. He should remain steadfast, the circus will be a full three rings.
I also believe he is safer with his honesty and truth-telling. He has many people worried tonight and they aren't all in this country. When I heard the blurb of the interview in other MSNBC programs, my first impression is that he is doing this interview to remain safe. I congratulate him on his epiphany.

The FBI (click here) is taking a closer look at Robert Hyde, a Connecticut congressional candidate and donor to President Donald Trump, and his potential role in efforts to surveil and remove former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, CNN reported Wednesday night.
An FBI spokeswoman in Washington D.C. said she could not comment about any ongoing investigation or confirm the CNN report.
Meanwhile, in an interview Wednesday night on the Sinclair show “America This Week,” Hyde denied spying on Voyanovitch and said he “barely knows” Lev Parnel, an associate of Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani who received dozens of texts from Hyde concerning Yovanovitch.
“You meet a bunch of these characters when you’re out there in the fundraising at events and supporting candidates,” Hyde told host Eric Bolling. “And you know, we just had some colorful texts, you know, had a few pops way back when I used to drink.”...
There are plenty of functional drunks in the world.

Thank you, Speaker Pelosi for a job well done.
I think Speaker Pelosi is a remarkable woman. She stood up for the truth and the strength of the US Constitution in upholding the oath of office taken by elected officials by the people. She brought brevity to the oath and we can only hope the Leader of the US Senate will be as moral and serious as she.
I am confident the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court will carry his responsibility out to it's full extent.The country can thank Speaker Pelosi's leadership in not only bringing the process that resulted in the articles of impeachment but, making known to the American people the dangerous political attitude of the Majority Leader of the US Senate. The country is paying attention and those that love our democracy are grateful.
Virginia is not alone in dealing with the issue of being under siege by White Supremacists/Nationalists.
It is hard to believe at times, but, the truth is the truth. The capital of Virginia is under a state of emergency because of the massing of White Supremacists.
Virginia is taking action against gun violence at it's state legislature. One of the objections is the legislation presented by Sen. Louise Lucas.

Richmond - The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (click here for video - it contains all their talking points) and Virginia House and Senate leaders held a news conference at the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond on Monday.
The news conference addressed the effects of Gov. Northam’s gun control legislation.
Speakers included:
State Sen. Mark Obenshain
Del. Todd Gilbert
Savannah Lindquist, Virginia gun owner, assault survivor, DC Project delegate
Tom Suit, Virginia gun owner, retired military, competitive shooter
Andrew Whiting, Virginia gun owner
Chris Kopacki, NRA-ILA Deputy Managing Director of State and Local Affairs
D.J. Spiker, NRA-ILA Virginia State Director
There was a heavy police prescence (click here) outside the State Capitol in Richmond, VA Monday, Jan. 13, 2020. New rules require everyone entering the building, as well as the Pocahontas building to pass through a metal detector, excepting legislators.
It strongly appears the White Supremacists/Nationalists share the same value system with the NRA. The NRA should be denouncing them, not ignoring them. Responsible gun ownership does not include those that hate. Ending hate includes gun control.

The cheers for the PARTIAL China agreement is premature. The majority of tariffs will stand until PART 2 of the agreement is completed.

...But trade experts and industry groups (click here) representing a broad swath of the economy, made it clear they do not consider the pomp of the White House signing ceremony to mark the end of a period of deep uncertainty.
While the deal brings hope the two countries can work through their differences without tariff hikes, critics point out that it fails to address thornier issues. The deal, critics charged, does not truly address long-held demands on China involving intellectual property protections for American companies, currency manipulation, Chinese steel dumping, human rights and government subsidies.
Mr. Trump has called the agreement to be signed Wednesday a “phase one” trade deal, while acknowledging future agreements may not happen before the presidential election in November. The White House, which has not officially provided all the specifics, planned to release a fact sheet on Wednesday.
“We recognize your administration's efforts to date, but the phase one deal is completely inadequate and leaves much work to be done,” Scott Paul, president of Alliance for American Manufacturing, wrote in a letter to Mr. Trump on Tuesday. The Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit is led by manufacturing companies and the United Steelworkers....

(Bloomberg) -- U.S. Steel Corp. has now lost much of the ground (click here) it gained when President Donald Trump implemented his steel import tariffs less than two years ago.
Back then, Chief Executive Officer David Burritt hailed Trump’s tariffs and the company responded by restarting two blast furnaces and rehiring steel workers. Now, U.S. Steel is facing harsh scrutiny after delivering a barrage of bad news this week that included idling its giant plant outside Detroit and laying off as many as 1,545 workers.
U.S. steelmakers have faced slowing demand for their products, and U.S. Steel has been particularly hard hit because of aging plants that are less efficient than rivals’ with newer technology. That’s led to a spate of corporate operational initiatives under different names that have shifted multiple times since 2014....

President Trump plans to divert $7.2 billion from the Pentagon(click here) to go toward border wall construction this year, an amount five times greater than what Congress authorized in the budget, The Washington Post reported.
This would be the second year in a row that money is redirected to the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border from military construction projects and counternarcotics funding.
The administration will take $3.5 billion from counterdrug programs and $3.7 billion from military construction funding, according to internal planning figures obtained by the Post, compared to $2.5 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, last year....

They finally took Nader off the street. Prisoners are witnesses, too.

Alexandria - A key witness (click here) in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation will be sentenced to at least 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of child sex trafficking and possessing child pornography.
Lebanese-American businessman George Nader, 60, entered a plea deal Monday in federal court in Alexandria.
Nader admitted transporting a 14-year-old boy from the Czech Republic to Washington, D.C., in 2000 to engage in sexual activity with him. He also admitted possessing child pornography depicting infants or toddlers.
The pornography charge carries a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence. Prosecutors agreed as part of the plea bargain to recommend a 10-year sentence when Nader is sentenced in April, though the judge will be free to impose a significantly longer sentence if she chooses.
Nader's name appears more than 100 times in Mueller's report. It details Nader's efforts to serve as liaison between a Russian banker with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin and members of President Donald Trump's transition team....
