Zinke, like Trump, fired the official for investigating his crimes. It's time to pass a statute that protects the job security of inspectors general. It's a quasi-judicial office, and they should be allowed to do their jobs without getting fired for it. politicalwire.com/2018/10/17/zin…
2/ "Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke was the subject of 14 separate government investigations. (A new record!) But that number could soon be zero. That’s because Zinke just fired the Department of the Interior’s acting inspector general."

3/ Inspector General Kendall—who’s served [for two decades] as acting [or deputy] inspector general at the DOI —is being replaced by Suzanne Israel Tufts, a Republican lawyer who worked on the Trump campaign."
Because why not?
Solution: Elect a Democratic House to hold hearings.

Veselnitskaya unsealed indictment on obstruction (Russian money laundering case):
"Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who met with @DonaldJTrumpJr (and Manafort & @jaredkushner) at Trump Tower, represented Prevezon Holdings in a civil case..."
washingtonpost.com/world/national…
2/ "...in which SDNY prosecutors sought millions in forfeiture... & alleged in a civil complaint that a Russian criminal organization ran an elaborate tax refund scheme, stealing the identities of companies and filing sham lawsuits to incur fake losses for refund purposes."
3/ Full indictment here, which alleges that Veselnitskaya worked closely with "a senior Russian prosecutor" in Prevezon investigation, but "concealed [that fact] from the Court," and thus "obstructed the civil proceeding."

4 clear pieces on the law of “national emergency” and the wall: @MargLTaylor
@BobbyChesney in @lawfareblog; @LizaGoitein in @Atlantic; and @charlie_savage in @nytimes (links here).
My bottom line: Congress has given the president too much discretion.
nytimes.com/2019/01/07/us/…
2/ @MargLTaylor: “On closer inspection, relevant statutes delegate substantial authority to the president, and it is possible to imagine arguments...courts could find convincing if they are predisposed to defer to the president on a national emergency.” lawfareblog.com/declaring-emer…
3/ @BobbyChesney finds similar statutory discretion, and also asks, “Who has standing to challenge in court?”
Congress’s legislative standing isn’t easy. We agree that there are many private landowners facing eminent domain seizures...

Well, I found where this "Angela" c*nt has been quite abusive to many #Trump supporters and #straight #heterosexuals including #teenagers... sad but I feel vindicated, as Angela portrays himself as the victim in every exchange.

He's a frustrating bitch.
Imagine that smug, lazy, whiny non-passing SOB standing in your wife's workplace bathroom being a total asshole to her.

That's why I think it should be at the discretion of states and property owners, who goes where. Men like that should not be anywhere near decent women.
So to clarify. This piece of shit solicited cash from me, to support a game server, then literally a few days after receiving said funds, pulled this anti Trump act on me and then proceeded to character assassinate me on Twitter.

Fuck you Angela, I'll meet you in gym anytime.
