A deeeep dive:

"Major Takeaways from #MichaelCohen's Plea on Trump Moscow Project"

By @K8brannen and @rgoodlaw

with quotes from Just Security experts @normative @AndyMcCanse @lrozen @alexgwhiting @renato_mariotti
justsecurity.org/61671/major-ta…
Readers may be especially interested in the section titled:

"How might the Moscow Project connect up with allegations of collusion?"

which connects revelations in the Cohen guilty plea to great reporting by other journalists and analysts

justsecurity.org/61671/major-ta…
If Cohen is cooperating like this on Russia investigation, imagine what he may provide prosecutors in campaign finance (hush money) investigation.

Brannen and Goodman's analysis of Cohen's plea also refers to this earlier piece by @ThePaulSRyan:

Exclusive: U.N. Human Rights Experts Directly Engage With Facebook on "Overly Broad" Definitions in Regulating Terrorist Content

UN expert sends letter, two sides meet. So, how was the meeting?
justsecurity.org/60554/exclusiv…
UN Rapporteur @NiAolainF:

“I wish to emphasize the importance of ensuring that any relevant definitions adopted and employed by #Facebook are compatible with standards set by international law, including international #humanrights law and international humanitarian law.”
UN Rapporteur @davidakaye:

“It undermines the ability of #Facebook to push back against the efforts of governments to impose ever broader definitions of terrorism…when the standard is not tied closely to standards in #humanrights law and other international instruments.”

A criminal case against Donald Trump would turn the weaknesses in the prosecution of John Edwards into strengths.

@ThePaulSRyan on the alleged wrongdoing at the center of the Michael Cohen #HushMoney campaign finance scandal
justsecurity.org/60415/prosecut…
A key that could unlock the case against Trump:

"Cohen’s plea documents indicate a host of other people were involved... One of those individuals, the President of AMI has already 'provided prosecutors with details about payments…including Mr. Trump’s knowledge of the deals.'"
Edwards: "DOJ presented no evidence that Hunter was planning or threatening to speak to the press about her affair…Edwards’ lawyers made a big deal out of this"

Trump: "McDougal and Clifford were in negotiation with national media outlets to sell the rights to their stories"

So we have four new judges on the Supreme Court. What is their constitutional jurisprudence like? Have they expanded civil rights from the bench, or cut them down? Do they believe that procedural safeguards under criminal law are inconveniences or valuable personal rights? (1/2)
How have they interpreted social welfare laws involving, for example, labour? We don't know, and nobody cares enough to make it an issue. The sheer opacity is not only imposed top-down from the Supreme Court, but we are all complicit in it. And we get the judges we deserve. (2/2)
cc: @barandbench @LiveLawIndia @TheLeaflet_in etc - looking to you for judicial profiles of the four new appointees, along the lines of what happens in other countries.

#Law #DomesticViolence
Indian law protects women from all kinds of domestic abuse. To know more about the provisions of Protection of Women Against Domestic Violence Act, 2005 read our explainer: bit.ly/2CMVlfS
PWDV Act, 2005, gives a broad definition of what qualifies as ‘domestic abuse’. It includes physical, sexual, verbal, emotional and economic abuse. Section 3 reads:
The Act provides for a ‘Protection Officer’ to help you through various processes under the law. This Officer can help you file the complaint, tell you about your rights, make an application to the Magistrate for you, etc.

1. Patriots, each of you play a vital role! Recall #Qanon post from December 5 2017. Q asked in earlier posts, "who is the KeyStone"? Q then answered, the military and NSA = Key and @Potus + Patriots = the stone. The key unlocks the vital information Deep State has hidden...

The Suffocation of Democracy

By: Christopher R. Browning

THREAD✔
1/
As a historian specializing in the #Holocaust, #Nazi Germany, and #Europe in the era of the world wars, I have been repeatedly asked about the degree to which the current situation in the United States resembles the interwar period and the rise of #fascism in Europe.
2/
I would note several troubling similarities and one important but equally troubling difference.

In the 1920s, the US pursued #isolationism in foreign #policy and rejected participation in international organizations like the League of Nations.

#Series ¡Me gustó la música de #Versailles! He terminado las dos primeras temporadas de esta ambiciosa serie de #ficciónhistórica disponible en @NetflixLAT, y ya espero la tercera y última temporada. En este hilo compartiré una apreciación personal del #Score y del #Soundtrack.
En primer lugar va la intro, es tan poderosa, que no usé en ningún episodio la opción de saltar intro o adelantarla. Es un tema compuesto por los franceses @M83 llamado #Outro. Se puede escuchar en @Spotify - @SpotifyColombia :

(roundup) Trump’s showdown with liberal democracy continues.

Trump received pushback from his separate-families-at-the-border policy, intended to punish and deter asylum seekers.

He came up with something worse: Hostage Taking
slate.com/news-and-polit…
1/ DHS is giving asylum seekers a choice: they get their kids back if they voluntarily deport themselves👇


Many of these parents have “valid legal claims that they are fleeing potential violent deaths and deserve asylum.” goo.gl/4uj1xx
2/ Thus under the new policy, the government is kidnapping the children & holding them as hostages until the parents agree to leave the country, offering parents a cruel choice: Separate from their kids, or return with their children to danger.
