[The Federalist] Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power testified to Congress in 2017 that she never sought to unmask records containing information about former White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Newly declassified documents from the National Security Agency (NSA), however, show that her name appeared on at least seven separate requests to unmask Flynn’s name between Nov. 30, 2016, and Jan. 11, 2017. Shanty-Irish Willem Dafoe double
Power was asked explicitly during sworn 2017 testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) whether she had ever attempted to unmask information related to Michael Flynn, a retired general and former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency who later briefly served as national security adviser under President Donald Trump.
"The number of unmasking requests by yourself began to go up dramatically in 2014," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., noted during his questioning of Power to explain why the topic of unmasking had been raised. "[L]et me then ask you about, sort of, maybe the gravamen of how this came about. And I think it came about over a concern about the leaking of Mike Flynn’s name."
"So, to your knowledge, did you ever make [redacted]?" Schiff asked, likely referring to intercepts of Flynn’s conversations.
"I don’t recall making such a request," Power said. No recollection
"And I just want to be clear that there’s no indication you ever made a request or that there necessarily was even a report on the subject. But I did want to get you on the record on that, because at the end of the day that’s sort of where this came from," Schiff said.
"Yes, I have no recollection of making a request related to General Flynn," Power again claimed. No recollection
"Okay," Schiff said. "And I take it you never leaked Mr. Flynn’s name in any way, General Flynn’s name?"
"I have never leaked classified information," Power said. "I have never leaked names that have come back to me in this highly compartmented process. I have, in fact, never leaked, even unclassified information." Luckily she's already married to Cass Sunstein, so she has a lawyer
According to NSA documents declassified last week and released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, Power made seven separate requests to unmask Flynn’s name over a six-week period between the end of November 2016 and Jan. 11, 2017. The list of unmasking requests shows that Power requested unmaskings of information related to Flynn on Nov. 30, 2016; Dec. 2, 2016; Dec. 7, 2016; two separate requests on Dec. 14, 2016; Dec. 23, 2016; and Jan. 11, 2017.

"Unmasking" ...deals with classified US Intelligence surveillance production documents. Where was U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power's "need to know" in reference to Michael Flynn reporting ?
Where is the justification (written request) for the Flynn unmasking requested by Powers, or for that matter any of the other requests ?
What about the White House chef? Did he request any unmasking by chance ?
#13
So, she lied before Congress, (a body known for housing many liars for interminable lengths of time with little recourse for eviction).
Congress should refer Power for criminal charges.
It is illegal to lie to Congress during “any investigation or review, conducted pursuant to the authority of any committee, subcommittee, commission or office of the Congress, consistent with applicable rules of the House or Senate.” The penalty is five years in prison, unless the matter deals with terrorism, in which case the penalty is eight years.
What do you suppose the chances of any of the liars spending any time?
#16
“It wasn’t me. I would never do such a thing. It is possible that one of the contractors working for me at the time abused my delegated authority without referring back to me. Those people were terminated years ago, so it doesn’t make much difference at this point.”
#17
It was just routine unmasking. Nothing to see here.

Serious criminal gangs in LA always demand a murder as an initiation rite. It’s the way they always retain control on “jumped-in” gang members. Powers may be relatively innocent on matters using her delegated authority but she is certainly dirty as hell in many other things.

Ask her if it's legal to do. Ask her if it's the moral thing to do. Ask her if she would have done it if it were illegal. Ask her if she would do it again.
An interesting round up and analysis of current maneuvers in this case.
[HotAir] When the Department of Justice moved to dismiss the case against Michael Flynn, that the change put Judge Emmet Sullivan in an awkward position. Sullivan had at one point during the case, and to force Flynn to keep working with prosecutors, even though the DoJ had already proclaimed themselves satisfied with his cooperation. The sudden reversal by the DoJ has lots of potential to embarrass Sullivan as people examine this case in the future.
Therefore, how surprising is it that Sullivan might want to
A federal judge overseeing the criminal case of President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn opened the door late Tuesday for legal experts and other outside parties to oppose the Justice Department’s motion to drop the case, suggesting he has at least some skepticism about the government’s argument that Mr. Flynn should never have been charged.
In a brief order, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia said he would set a schedule for outside parties to present arguments about the government’s request to dismiss the case. He did not directly address the Justice Department’s motion to drop the charge, but legal experts said he appeared open to considering not only the department’s arguments but also those who have challenged its move as politically motivated.
This is, at the very least, quite curious in a criminal prosecution at the district-court level. Amicus briefs usually don’t apply to criminal trials, although technically the Flynn case is at the sentencing phase, where other testimony might be heard on mitigation or punishment. A dismissal motion by prosecutors, however, amounts to a forfeit by the only entity with authority to pursue a case. Sullivan might not like it, but how does he sustain a prosecution without the prosecuting authority’s cooperation, regardless of how many amicus briefs might cross his threshold? Judges in the American legal system don’t have that authority, which explicitly resides in the executive branch.
#2
if Flynn were to be found guilty of perjury for pleading 'guilty' and then changing his plea, it would be a Kafkaesque precedent
having a special council brought in to oppose the government motion to dismiss, given the government has stated its reasons for the dismissal, is only irrational and senseless

Will Judge Sullivan drag the case past November hoping for a Dem controlled regime?
#5
/\ Just thinking 'outside the box' here, but is it possible that U.S. Attorney John Durham might have signaled a strategic pause with regard to the sentencing of Mike Flynn ?
#6
It gets worse: Judge Sullivan has now appointed a retired judge to look into “whether the Court should issue an Order to Show Cause why Mr. Flynn should not be held in criminal contempt for perjury.
#13
The DOJ and Flynn's lawyers should appeal for an immediate dismissal of the case. The evidence shows there was no crime, not even a process "crime", but this judge wants to act as if there was.
Imagine an accused murdered pleading guilty just to end the doubt and save himself from the death sentence, and then the supposed victim turns up alive. Sullivan would put an innocent man in prison for trying to save his life.

This Judge for life knowe his job isn’t really in jeopardy so being overturned on appeal with a scoulding from a higher court is meaningless to him. What he will do is find Flynn guilty and sentence him to confinement of some duration hoping to force Trump to issue a pardon to give cover to this disgraceful abuse of power for the upcoming elections. The Flynn conviction was the sole concrete “proof” of the whole spy gate conspiracy. For the rubes that constitutes the backbone of the democrat/progressive socialist coalition, they need a talking point.
#22
Thought Sullivan was better than this based on the Stevens case a few decades back. Turns out, he's not.
If memory serves, he only threw out that case after Stevens was defeated in the 2008 Senate race. Mission accomplished.
I was tempted to point out that this precedent, if accepted, could render all future plea bargains inoperative -- but then I remembered that the left never applies its own rules to itself -- and the Right never does so when they are "in charge", Kurt Schlicter's fulminations to the contrary.
#23
I'm hoping the judge is going to get briefs from any crazy lefty willing to submit one, then release Flynn as none of the briefs are going to be compelling law. This will delay things until more lefties accept the reality and cool down, and give him statesman-like non-partisan status of saying he gave everyone a shot to make their case before agreeing to the dismissal.
This will enable him to avoid wearing a bullet proof vest the rest of his life.

They are trying to run out the clock in terms of protecting Biden and smearing Trump any way they can into the election season.
The precedent is already there in the DC Court Of Appeals that binds this jusdge to accept the dismissal. Legally speking, he has no choice. This is all about creating smoke and noise and delay.

[NYPOST] An upcoming CNN town hall on the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic will feature 17-year-old Greta "Pippi" Thunberg ...an autistic sixteen year old Swedish expert on climate change... alongside a panel of medical experts .
The program, "Coronavirus Facts and Fears," also includes CNN broadcaster Sanjay Gupta, 50, former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, 71 and former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Richard Besser, 60. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, 52, will host alongside Gupta.
However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... social media watchdogs are foaming at the mouth over the choice to place a teen climate activist on a panel with public health experts.
"What place does Greta Thunberg have in this town hall?" asks Twitter rabble rouser Yashar Ali to his 618,000 followers. His rhetorical question was liked by more than 12,000 since this morning.
Her name is a top trending term on Twitter, with some 30,000 mentions on the platform in just a few hours.
In a follow-up tweet, Ali clarified his rhetorical tweet with an explanation: "I understand that but this is a panel of top health experts and administrators. A climate activist would be better suited on a different panel. She’s not a climate scientist. It’s a matter of placement."

[Wirepoints] A Wirepoints analysis of COVID-19 deaths from the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office reveals that 92 percent of victims from the virus had pre-existing medical conditions.*
The medical examiner’s database showed COVID-19 as the primary cause of death for 2,303 people. Of those, 2,112 were shown to have at least one underlying condition as a secondary cause of death. Those conditions, also known as comorbidities, included hypertension, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. There were no secondary causes reported for 191 deaths.
This finding is important because Gov. J.B. Pritzker has refused to release any statewide comorbidity data as part of his official Illinois Department of Health releases. Wirepoints asked for data directly from the governor’s office on April 21st, but we were told it was not available. We’ve since released a piece asking Gov. J.B. Pritzker why that’s so: Who’s most at risk for COVID-19 and why isn’t Illinois publishing that data?
Understanding who is most at risk — and who is not — is central to a public understanding of the virus. It’s also central to helping decide when and how to open up our economy and schools. What Cook County’s and other comorbidity data across the country implies is that the risk of death for healthy Illinoisans is far lower than Gov. J.B. Pritzker might lead people to believe based on his protracted lockdown and drawn out reopening plan.
Cook County reports that of the 2,303 victims where COVID-19 was listed as the primary cause of death, 92 percent had one or more comorbidities....
...Wirepoints shouldn’t be forced to seek out and compile partial comorbidity data based on tips from others. The state should be open and transparent with all of its COVID-19 statistics.
Regardless, the data continues to be revealed, even with the state’s stonewalling. The information we now know paints a compelling case for a far different reopening plan than Gov. Pritzker has introduced.
[ISSUESINSIGHTS] In New York, 5% of the seniors living in nursing homes have died from COVID-19. In Florida, the disease has claimed less than 0.6% of those in nursing homes. What explains the vast difference in death rates among this vulnerable population? New York Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo panicked about COVID-19, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis did not.
Over the weekend, Democrat Cuomo announced that nursing homes would no longer have to accept patients discharged from hospitals who were COVID-19 positive. Which leads to a question: Why in the world were they required to do so before?
The reason was that Cuomo was panicked about hospitals being overrun. So to clear beds, he told nursing homes that they had to take the elderly, whether or not they had COVID-19.
To be precise, the [NY State] health department’s order read that nursing homes "are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission."
To be precise, the health department’s order read that nursing homes "are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission."
New York’s March 25 directive was immediately condemned by the American Health Care Association, the Society for Post-Acute Long-Term Care Medicine and the National Center for Assisted Living, who issued a joint statement calling it "a short-term and short-sighted solution that will only add to the surge in COVID-19 patients that require hospital care."
New York wasn’t the only state to issue such orders. Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, did, but then quickly reversed itself. Pennsylvania did, too. More than 2,300 nursing home residents have died in the Keystone State — accounting for 70% of the its total deaths, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
New Jersey followed New York’s lead, with Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli issuing an edict on March 31, declaring that: "No patient/resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the post-acute care setting solely based on a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 ... Post-acute care facilities are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized patient/resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission."

Per CDC data from May 13, NYC has experienced an increase in deaths vs 3-yr average of ca. 21,500 so far in 2013. However, only 14,600 of those are attributed to COVID.
So this year, NYC policies per CDC have somehow managed to result in nearly 7,000 additional non-COVID deaths.
Of the geographic tallies published by CDC, only NYC, non-NYC NY State and New Jersey have seen an increase in total deaths vs their 3-year average. Many states are actually significantly BELOW their 3-year average.
Cuomo and DeBlasio are worse than incompetent. They're likely criminally negligent.

I don't think it was panic so much as:

WASHINGTON (Rooters) - U.S. Supreme Court justices on Wednesday grilled lawyers advocating that "electors" in the complex Electoral College system that decides the winner of U.S. presidential elections are free to disregard laws directing them to back the candidate who prevails in their state’s popular vote.
If enough electors do so, it could upend an election, or, as some of the justices said, cause "chaos."
The justices heard arguments in two closely watched cases - one from Colorado and one from Washington state - less than six months before the Nov. 3 election in which presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden

They should be nervous. It is a very pillar of the foundation of the union of states known as the Constitution. Dissolve the function of the college, you dissolve the contract.
#2
[Electors] are free to disregard laws directing them to back the candidate who prevails in their state’s popular vote.
Reasons for all of us to be concerned. Another way that the person who you vote for is not the person you get. The penalties vary for a "faithless elector" by state. I can see where some rich left-wing ideologue who wants to make the world over in his image might come along and drop a ton of money on a faithful elector and turn them into a faithless elector.
#3
There is already chaos but it only confined to the swing districts:
-- No voter roll validation or clean-up
-- No proof of citizenship, residency required
-- No guarantee of one citizen, one vote
-- Vote early and vote often
#4
No. No. NO. The electoral college does NOT vote according to a state's popular votes. The final outcome of the total of each congressional district's votes in that state determines what they are to vote for (they validate the outcome, don't second guess or refine it) It's sad almost nobody understands that anymore. It was 6th grade stuff at one point.

[REALCLEARPOLITICS] Less than two years ago, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Republicans were written off as a permanent minority party in the state after losing seven congressional seats in traditionally conservative enclaves such as Orange County and the San Joaquin Valley.
Tuesday night they appeared poised to flip a Democrat-held seat back to the Republican column for the first time since 1998, when Wilson was wrapping up his second term in office. This time the election comes amid a global pandemic and stay-at-home orders that turned normal campaign strategies and last-minute get-out-the-vote efforts upside down.
By Tuesday night, former Navy fighter pilot and Raytheon executive Mike Garcia had a sizable 12-point lead over Assemblywoman Christy Smith, 56% to 44%. Both had spent the past six months vying to replace former Rep. Katie Nice Boobies! Hill ...Dem representative from California who ran as a bisexual, resigned from Congress when nude pictures of her came to light, along with information that she was being bisexual with one of her aides. Katie appears to be unacquainted with the word shame... in a special election after Hill, a onetime Democratic rising star, resigned last October amid a sex scandal.
The race has garnered national attention, considered as both a bellwether for the political climate ahead of November and a glimpse of new campaign dynamics in the COVID-19 era.
California’s 25th Congressional District is an exurban district north of Los Angeles that went for Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... in 2016. Two years later, Hill knocked off the incumbent GOP congressman, Steve Knight, by eight points amid a blue tidal wave that decimated the state’s Republican congressional delegation and handed Democrats control of the House.
Republicans tend to fare better in California in elections attracting fewer voters, but Garcia appears to have exceeded party expectations in a race that attracted record participation for a special election. Some 34% of registered voters returned their mail-in ballots, while just a smattering of voters turned up in person at a limited number of polling places.
In an unexpected twist, the all mail-in voting that Democrats across the state demanded and Republicans criticized appeared to benefit Garcia. Older Republican voters returned their ballots in much higher numbers than younger Democrats in the district.
"I won’t give a victory speech tonight, I’ll save that for tomorrow night, but things are looking very encouraging," Garcia said on a conference call Tuesday night while thanking hundreds of campaign volunteers and staff. "Hopefully by tomorrow morning, we’ll have enough data to declare victory, but it is looking very good."
Democrat Christy Smith conceded victory Wednesday to Republican Mike Garcia in a nationally watched California congressional special election.
Garcia now fills a seat vacated in November when Democrat Katie Hill resigned amid allegations of inappropriate relationships with staff members. The term expires in January.
“While it's critical that we ensure every vote is counted and recorded, we believe that the current tally shows Mike Garcia is the likely victor in the May 12th election," Smith said in a statement. “As such, I'd like to congratulate him."
Garcia and Smith will face off again on Nov. 3.
With more than 143,000 votes counted Tuesday night, Garcia held 56% of the vote. Smith, a state assemblywoman from Santa Clarita, had 44% and trailed by more than 17,000 votes.
More than 420,000 ballots were mailed to voters in Los Angeles and Ventura counties for the election and more are expected to arrive at election offices later this week. They need to be postmarked no later than Tuesday's election day.
"After election day, there are still many outstanding ballots to be counted," Los Angeles County officials said in a news release, referring to incoming vote by mail ballots, conditional and provisional ballots. They said their next vote-count update would be Friday.
Garcia and Smith will compete again in the November election for a full two-year term. The 25th District runs from Santa Clarita to Simi Valley with about 70,000 registered voters in Ventura County and more than 350,000 in Los Angeles County.

A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang... Lions, as well as college football teams in the state, such as the Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans.

Interestingly, don't yet know about football for this fall but at least as regards re-opening the colleges, there's a semi-strong correlation thus far with political proclivities of the governor.
State flagships that have signaled or even announced formally that they intend to re-open this far include those in:
- Indiana: Purdue (Pres. Mitch Daniels)
- Texas: A&M, Texas Tech, UTEP (res. Heather Wilson, formerly Sec'y of the Air Force)
- Tennessee: UT, also Middle Tennessee St.
- N. Carolina state university system
- N. Dakota system
- U. Alabama system
- U. Florida system
- West Virginia U.
Considering re-opening, likely to announce soon: Ohio State, Wake Forest
Care to guess who announced they will definitely NOT be open, instead either totally or largely online?
- California State University system: all 23 campuses closed this fall, online only
- U. California system: none of 10 campuses will re-open fully; all will rely heavily if not primarily online, per UC spokesperson Tuesday
- Harvard: will be mainly online
Gee, I wonder which way the lefty U. Michigan administration will go... Do they realize that Ohio State's academic reputation is soaring and will soon catch up to and surpass Michigan's?
[WAUSAUDAILYHERALD] Tom Tiffany will serve as the next representative of Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District.
Tiffany, a Republican, was elected Tuesday, beating out Democrat Tricia Zunker for the seat during a special election.
With 99% of the precincts reporting, Tiffany received 57% of the vote to Zunker's 43%. The results in Marathon County closely mirrored the district, with Tiffany winning almost 59% of the vote there to Zunker's 41% in the county.
Tiffany is facing a quick turnaround after the election. He will be expected in Washington, D.C., starting next week to begin serving in Congress. Tiffany also faces another campaign season, too. Like every other seat in Congress, the 7th Congressional District is on the ballot in November.
Tiffany addressed supporters over a Facebook Live video Tuesday night, with his family beside him. He said Zunker called him Tuesday night, and he congratulated her on running "a good race" in difficult circumstances over the past couple months during the state's Safer at Home order.
Tiffany said his goal in Congress is "to get America back on its feet" after the economic blow brought on by the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic. He thanked his family for their support as well as voters in the district.
"I just want to say thank you to all the voters of the 7th Congressional District, whether you voted for me or my opponent," he said.
Zunker also addressed supporters over Facebook Live, saying the vote shows "we laid the groundwork for a Democratic win in November." The 14-point margin was closer than when President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... won the district by 20 points in 2016.
"This isn’t the result we were hoping for, but we did something incredible here," Zunker said. "We did something that no one thought a Democrat in this district could do, in spite of a global pandemic.
We had three submissions of this article, so clearly it is important. ;-)
Remember this self-important b*&^h? Perjury much?
[Just The News] During President Trump's impeachment, former U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch testified to Congress that she knew little beyond an initial briefing and "press reports" about Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian natural gas firm that had hired Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter and was dogged by a corruption investigation.

Like narcissist Comey, who tried to whitewash his record with his "Higher Loyalty" b.s., Yovanovitc presented herself before Congress as having the highest of values...and lied under oath. Slam em all.
