[NBC] WASHINGTON ‐ The U.S. attorney who had presided over an inconclusive criminal investigation into former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe was abruptly removed from the job last month in one of several recent moves by Attorney General William Barr to take control of legal matters of personal interest to President Donald Trump, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
A person familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News that Trump has rescinded the nomination of Jessie Liu, who had been the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., for a job as an undersecretary at the Treasury Department.
Liu also supervised the case against Trump associate Roger Stone. On Tuesday, all four line prosecutors withdrew from the case ‐ and one quit the Justice Department altogether ‐ after Barr and his top aides intervened to reverse a stiff sentencing recommendation of up to nine years in prison that the line prosecutors had filed with the court Monday. (Liu left before the sentencing recommendation was made.)
All sorts of things coming home to roost now that the impeachment is over. It’s almost as if they were quietly queued up and waiting for the order to go...
But that wasn't the first time senior political appointees had reached into a case involving a former Trump aide, officials told NBC News. Senior officials at the Justice Department also intervened last month to help change the government's sentencing recommendation for Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. While the prosecutors had once recommended up to six months in jail, their latest filing now says they believe probation would be appropriate.

Four that just one honest individual, casually observing, happened to notice. You could probably ID 10x if you had a focused team of FT observers...

Also interesting that these habitual liars routinely and instinctively lie using the term "debunked" to falsely describe anything related to the coup attempt, Schifferbrains and his repeated lies, or Biden's family corruption.
Do they ever wonder why 90% of the public view them as having no credibility?

“Republican voter registration in NH is down roughly 20k voters from 2016 to now. It’s a reminder that Trump’s increased GOP popularity is in part because in some places, the GOP registration rolls have shrunk.” Haberman
These people have lost their control of the narrative.
Truth will win the day. People are fed up with being lied to. They get even more fed up with paying predatory prices for cable and paying to be lied to by the MSM.
[BREITBART] During an interview broadcast on Monday’s edition of "CNN Tonight," 2020 Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'... stated that President Trump "is obsessed with me, and he should be, with good reason. Because I will beat him."
Biden said, "Look, he’s deathly afraid to face me. Have you ever ‐ you can’t answer it I know, but rhetorical question, have you ever seen a sitting president spend as much time, money, and effort, including risking being impeached and thrown out of office to decide to eliminate one of his potential opponents in a primary ‐ I mean, that are running in a primary for the general election? This guy is obsessed with me, and he should be, with good reason. Because I will beat him."
[MEDIAITE] Tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang ...2020 Democratic presidential candidate. Unlike most other Dem 2020 candidates, he has actually done things besides politix in his adult life. He worked in startups and early-stage growth companies as a founder or executive from 2000 to 2009. After he founded Venture for America, the Obama administration selected him in 2012 as a Champion of Change and in 2015 as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. His signature campaign policy is what he calls the Freedom Dividend, a form of Universal Basic Income for every American over 18. Yang believes UBI is a necessary response to the rapid development of automation that is leading to workforce challenges. The other two central elements of Yang's platform are Medicare for All and Human-Centered Capitalism.... is dropping out of the 2020 race.
Per PBS, Yang’s campaign manager Zach Graumann confirmed the news and said, "By the numbers, the decision was pretty clear. It doesn’t feel honest to keep taking money and enthusiasm from our supporters, but also from the Democratic Party. It’s obviously a difficult decision, but we believe the right one."
The announcement dropped as New Hampshire results started coming in tonight.
Yang got a lot of attention for his outsider approach, his personal style on the campaign trail, and for attracting a sizable following known as the "Yang Gang."
Graumann, PBS reports, didn’t say he plans to endorse anyone right away.
[PJMedia] Maine's "1st non-binary" candidate for Senate, Bre Kidman, who says her pronouns are "they, them," is giving away "guillo-tees" to promote her campaign to replace Republican Sen. Susan Collins. The t-shirts have a graphic of a guillotine on them. Known for their love of political violence, Democratic socialists like Kidman (and all the Bernie bros ever caught on camera) enjoy violent imagery and fantasizing about killing the rest of us or putting us in camps.
Kidman has no idea why her t-shirts are causing such an uproar. "I was gonna wait until tomorrow to show off these beauties, but Trump got acquitted and I feel like folks could use something to look forward to," she wrote. It is unknown whose execution Kidman is looking forward to, but I'll assume it has something to do with beating Susan Collins.

I'm sure all who clicked through to Twitter noticed the squat, ugly proportions of the depicted machine? I mean, who wouldn't choose a tall, classic, oh-so-chic French model? And why not substitute it for the "I" in "Kidman?" Anyway... it seemed vaguely familiar. Couldn't find the one I remembered with a cursory search, but... of hundreds of guillotine pix skimmed, Bre's most closely resembled -- I swear I'm not trying to be cute here -- one particular Wiener Fallbeil.
[NewsThud] Ilhan Omar is taking heat from veterans and supporters of the military for suggesting all Americans get the same benefits that those receive on the G.I. bill that pays fo veteran’s education.
Omar responded to a tweet from Will Fischer who wrote:
My attempt to make the case for cancelling all student debt and making higher education tuition-free ‐ for all
Omar responded and added:
"Imagine what it would do for our country and those who live here if we were to take the ethos behind the original G.I. Bill and apply it to everybody‐canceling all student debt and making public colleges, universities, and vocational schools tuition-free."
Omar was quickly blasted.
Chris Manning wrote:
I’m a recipient of the GI Bill. The GI Bill was earned by agreeing to serve my country for six years and to put my life at risk as an infantryman in Afghanistan. It wasn’t something just given to me with nothing expected in return. Don’t cheapen our sacrifice w/ this comparison.
Another Twitter user asked Omar
I paid off my student debt.
What are you going to give me?
Another wrote "My US Navy husband gave his life in service for this country. Every military person has earned the right to these benefits!! If you want to enjoy these same benefits, then join the military and serve your country for them!!!!"

Omar might be a one-term representative. The 5th district has several Dems running against her and a couple of very promising Pubs running for the seat.
Is this the Judge that put Paul Manafort in SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, something that not even mobster Al Capone had to endure? How did she treat Crooked Hillary Clinton? Just asking! https://t.co/Fe7XkepJNN
The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on this blantant corrupt judge. Meanwhile. The Don is on a roll.
Whatever happened to Hillary campaign manager Podesta's BROTHER? Wasn't he caught, forced to leave his firm, with BIG BAD things to happen? Why did nothing ever happen to him, only to the "other" side?
The language about "holding offices during good behaviour" has been interpreted to mean that the only way federal judges can be removed from office is if the House of Representatives impeaches them, and the Senate convicts them, of "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." Only fifteen judges have ever been impeached (that is, formally accused by the House of Representatives) and only eight have been convicted and removed from office.

She can start her second career as a Democratic Party congress critter like Alcee Hastings. right?
(wiki) "In 1988, the Democratic-controlled United States House of Representatives took up the case, and Hastings was impeached for bribery and perjury by a vote of 413–3. He was then convicted on October 20, 1989, by the United States Senate, becoming the sixth federal judge in the history of the United States to be removed from office by the Senate."
Is the first thing that needs to be changed. Since they've decided to become politicians rather than readers of the Constitution and refuse to recognize the separation of powers, we have no need for a aristocracy by any other name.
