Trump Flips Another Circuit Court To Conservative Majority
[DAILYWIRE] On Thursday, President Trump flipped another U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals into a conservative majority, as the Senate confirmed the nomination of White House attorney Steven Menashi to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals now has seven judges appointed by Republican presidents and six by Democrats. Democrats flailed about in hysteria over the Menashi nomination, in which he was confirmed 51-41 in a party line vote only excepted by Susan Collins of Maine, who voted against Menashi.

Menashi, 40, was viciously attacked by Democrats; Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 43.94454725489264 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
raged, "Mr. Menashi is one of the most contemptible nominees to come before the Senate in all my time in this body. He would be a disgrace, a disgrace to the seat once held by the great Thurgood Marshall."

Epstein's Guards Turned Down A Plea Deal

Shitshow: Lavrenti Beria meets Focus Group-Polling & Creates Fake Charge, "Bribery"
[WashingtonPost] Democrats sharpen impeachment case, decrying ‘bribery’ as another potential witness emerges linking Trump to Ukraine scandal.

Posted by: Bobby || 11/16/2019 11:23 Comments || Top||

#2  Buried the lede-- from the bottom of the article:

Several Democrats have stopped using the term “quid pro quo,” instead describing “bribery” as a more direct summation of Trump’s alleged conduct.

The shift came after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee conducted focus groups in key House battlegrounds in recent weeks, testing messages related to impeachment. Among the questions put to participants was whether “quid pro quo,” “extortion” or “bribery” was a more compelling description of Trump’s conduct. According to two people familiar with the results, which circulated among Democrats this week, the focus groups found “bribery” to be most damning. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the results have not been made public.

Rudy Giuliani Investigated For Lobbying And Campaign Finance Violations
h/t Instapundit
[VictoryGirls] No sooner had his name been uttered during the impeachment hearings, when the news breaks that Rudy Giuliani is under investigation.

    "Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, is being investigated by federal prosecutors for possible campaign finance violations and a failure to register as a foreign agent as part of an active investigation into his financial dealings, according to three U.S. officials.

    The probe of Giuliani, which one official said could also include possible charges on violating laws against bribing foreign officials or conspiracy, presents a serious threat to Trump’s presidency from a man that former national security adviser John Bolton has called a "hand grenade.""

The officials are named in this breaking news story from Bloomberg. Oh wait, they aren’t. It’s all from anonymous sources.

Giuliani’s name has been waived around quite a bit since all this impeachment mess started taking off. Because he dared to do as the President asked, and act as an envoy in talks with Ukrainian officials, he’s done something BAD! As if the Democrats nor media had ever heard of back channel communications before?

Back channel communications are part and parcel of the political landscape and have been for centuries. Benjamin Franklin went to France and England prior to the Declaration of Independence to gain support and assistance for the American cause. FDR used numerous back channel communications prior to and during World War II. Reagan did the same when trying to get the Soviet Union to back down.

It is a fair bet that Obama used back channels to get things rolling with his craptastic Iran Deal and Paris Agreement. How else were they able to get things arranged for transporting those pallets of cash in the dead of night?
How do you know you're approaching the target? The flack increases.

Will Bloomberg need to sell off his media empire to run for U.S. President?
[Asia Times] White House bid puts focus on Bloomberg’s media. Former New York mayor might sell his data & news organization to avoid conflict.

Michael Bloomberg’s likely run for the presidency would create a hornet’s nest of practical and ethical problems for his company, which as one of the world’s biggest news organizations would be thrust into coverage of its owner.

A campaign could set up unusual challenges for the privately owned firm Bloomberg LP and its Bloomberg News division, which employs some 2,400 journalists, including 1,000 in Washington, and includes online and television media operations.

While the news group managed Bloomberg’s tenure as New York mayor from 2002 to 2013 without any major incident, a presidential run, successful or not, would require a strict firewall, say media analysts.

Ethics panel investigating Rep. Hastings over relationship with staffer
[THEHILL] The House Ethics Committee
...think of a nudibranch pretending to be a vertebrate...
revealed on Thursday that it is investigating Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) over whether his relationship with a member of his staff breaks House rules.

Hastings has admitted to being in a relationship with his aide, Patricia Williams, who serves as his deputy district director.

The committee is now investigating whether Hastings violated House rules with that relationship and if he received any improper gifts from that employee.
like Nookie?
The House last year adopted a rule preventing members of Congress from having a sexual relationship with a member of their staff.

"The Committee is aware of public allegations arising out of Representative Alcee Hastings’ personal relationship with an individual employed in his congressional office," House Ethics Committee Chairman Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) and the panel's ranking Republican, Rep. Kenny Marchant (Texas), said in a joint statement, without identifying the staffer.

The statement said that the committee had begun an investigation on May 14, but did not reveal it publicly until Thursday.

Hastings has dismissed ethical concerns about his relationship, telling the Palm Beach Post "it’s been looking like that for 25 years" according to a story published last month.

Williams previously served as counsel to Hastings when he was accused of accepting bribes as a federal judge in the 1980s. Hastings was later impeached.

Amazon charges ‘bias’ in Pentagon cloud contract
There can't be a connection between constant attacks by Bezo's Washington Post on non-Antifa government and Bezo's Amazon contacts?
[Asia Times] Amazon on Thursday challenged the awarding of a $10 billion Pentagon cloud computing contract to Microsoft, alleging “unmistakable bias” in the process.

The 10-year contract for theJoint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure program, better known as JEDI, ultimately will see all military branches sharing information in a system boosted by artificial intelligence.

“It’s critical for our country that the government and its elected leaders administer procurements objectively and in a manner that is free from political influence,” a spokesperson for Amazon Web Services said.
Like Bezo's Wapo is free of political influence?
