As I sit here today, at the present moment in this chair, I am filled with gratitude for this question about an issue I know to be of great interest and importance to your constituents... (4:30...)
In addition to thanking you for that question, I’d like to express my admiration and respect for each of my predecessors, beginning with Edmund Randolph, who served as Attorney General of the United States from 1789 to 1794, a former Virgina governor & Secretary of State...
Now, I believe your question pertained to the Russian Federation, a country occupying approximately 171 million hectares, whose chief exports...

Two months ago, the Daily Caller published a pretty definitive report showing Jerome Corsi helped defraud his audience out of $25,000 to help a phony cancer patient get treatment from a nonexistent doctor. Have any authorities looked into this yet? dailycaller.com/2018/12/13/cor…
Like, it’s not a complicated case. The doctor doesn’t exist. The supposed “patient” registered the fake website for the doctor’s nonexistent clinic. Corsi claimed the imaginary doctor was a miracle worker who had treated a family member. Corsi’s listeners coughed up $25,000.
The press has basically done all the work here. All some prosecutor has to do is find the “patient” and mop up.

UN Special Rapporteur’s “Preliminary observations of the human rights inquiry into the killing of Mr. Kashoggi following the country visit to Turkey” ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/…
The UN preliminary report notes that the Saudis dispatched multiple “clean up crews” to wipe crime scene evidence of Kashoggi’s murder while denying access to the consulate. The location of whatever remains of his body is still unknown.
If you really need a “smoking gun,” the fact that the Saudi government *continues* to obstruct investigation into Kashoggi’s murder, including not even turning over his remains, ought to be more than enough.

As Bezos himself hints, the interesting thing about this (once we get past the giggling-about-penis phase) is: What made AMI so skittish about the claims of political motivation that they resort to extortion in response?
It’s not like threatening Bezos would put an end to public suggestions that AMI’s coverage is politically motivated—because, well, obviously it is. So this only makes sense if there’s specific information they were worried about investigators uncovering.
The other obvious question to ask is: Exactly how often has the Enquirer pulled this tactic in the past and gotten away with it? They must have quite an archive of salacious material.

💦 Thread here on #WhitakerHearing
Chair Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) gaveled in. Open statement focuses on how ethics officials recommended that he recuse from Mueller investigation. Calls their advice an act of bravery. Says Whitaker's decision to ignore that advice falls short.

1/
Nadler continues by discussing Matthew Whitaker's job and media appearances from before he joined the administrations. Mentioned public criticism of the Mueller investigation. Asks why did President choose "outspoken critic of the special counsel" and not someone else?

In advance of my live-tweeting today's HJC hearing, why I use the phrase Big Dick Toilet Salesman when I have tried to avoid similar monikers for Trump himself.

emptywheel.net/2019/02/08/sta…
Nadler starts with a tribute to @JohnDingell. "A true believer in Congressional oversight."
Nadler: Commending tradition of independent law enforcement at DOJ. Rule of law. Commending ethics officials who would have advised BDTS to recuse.

Hi! I’ll be live-tweeting today’s meeting of the Chicago Plan Commission for @CHIdocumenters. A vote on huge, controversial development Lincoln Yards is scheduled, but if there are other items it’d be helpful for me to pay special attention to, lmk! #ChiDocumenters
The room is packed. Just heard someone say, “Oh, you’re here, too? Seems like the whole Second Ward is here!” Lincoln Yards is in the Second Ward
Here’s the link to the agenda! I believe Lincoln Yards is items D1 and D2. chicago.gov/content/dam/ci…

***Some things that stood out to me***

QUESTION: Yes. I wanted to follow up on one of the pieces of the fact sheet that went out, the goal of expelling every Iranian boot from Syria, as you all put it.
Hoping to hear about how we can do this, like, kind of what the nature is there, particularly in light of the efforts to withdraw.

SECRETARY POMPEO: Yeah. So every Iranian boot on the ground is an ambitious objective.

QUESTION: Yes, it is.

I'm supposed to be working right now.

Ok so I'm going to just pull things from yesterday's Comey / Senate Oversight hearing that interest me... oversight.house.gov/wp-content/upl… because it is more fun than working. #ComeyHearing
Mr. Gowdy. Let me see if I can ask the question more artfully. Did he (Strzok) help you prepare or edit your July 5th press statement? (statement essentailly clearing Hillary)

Mr. Comey. July 5th press statement? Yes, he did help edit that.
Mr. Gowdy. Lisa Page, she was an attorney with the FBI in 2016. Is that right?

Mr. Comey. Lisa Page, yes, that is correct. Lisa Page was an attorney I think before 2016, but certainly during 2016 assigned to the Office of General Counsel.

1/ One of my favorite Dr. King quotations is about street sweepers, and I'd like to tell you why I'm thinking about it a lot today.

(image: @TheKingCenter)

#TransDayOfVisibility
2/ When I read this quote as a kid, I was dirt poor. My mother worked minimum wage jobs for long hours. We were on welfare. To me, this quotation was a revelation because it amplified the dignity of the adults in my life. It made them visible, not the set pieces of other stories.
3/ As an adult, as an out transgender person, that take on labor has expanded in my eyes. Visibility is not easy. Visibility for trans people, in our time, is a form of labor. In many ways, being openly transgender is a job in itself.
