Patrick Nolan, the former California Assembly Republican leader who pleaded guilty in the Shrimpscam scandal, has been pardoned by President Trump
The statement on the pardon suggests Nolan was unfairly prosecuted.
After serving his prison sentence, Nolan became a conservative activist pushing for criminal justice reform.
What is Shrimpscam, you might be wondering? It's like Abscam, but involving Sacramento and a phony shrimp business.

Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader Schumer are starting their press conference now.
"We went in the spirit of bipartisanship to find common ground on this," Pelosi says about infrastructure meeting today.
Pelosi said this was an opportunity for Trump to have a "signature infrastructure initiative" like previous presidents.

Trump is talking about how cooperative he was with the Russia investigation.

He's left out the part where he tried to fire the special counsel, or where he declined an interview with prosecutors.
"No collusion, no obstruction, no nothing." '

Trump is reading off statistics about how intensive the investigation was.

"These people were out to get us. This was a one-sided, horrible thing."
Trump is portraying the choice as between "investigation" and "investment."

"You can't do it under these circumstances. Get these phony investigations over with."

Wittes says he's heard Russia counterintelligence work described as "an investigation with no beginning and no end."

Baker agreed. "It's a persistent, long-term threat."
Baker responds to William Barr's "spying" comments and criticism.

"It didn't make sense to me."

"I honestly don't know what he's referring to."
Baker said Chris Steele had a reputation as a reliable source, but he didn't provide the predicate for the Russia investigation.

"We're not stupid. People roll in to give us information all the time, from all kinds of different angles."

President #Trump will meet with the President of Switzerland at the White House tomorrow. 🤔🤔🤔
I see several media people stating it probably has to do with Iran, which could very well be....

In the statement, though, it says they will discuss "matters such as Switzerland's role in facilitating diplomatic relationships AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL ISSUES."

I wonder if anything will come up about the Swiss banks and related investigations that have been going on. 🤔

(A) Please share/repost/comment to increase visibility and help someone vote. Please make one of these for your state. I'll try to keep these fairly succinct and cite sources where I can. This is how I'm voting:
(B) Governor: @GavinNewsom

Whether you're a Newsom loyalist or a contrarian who likes to impress their friends by not being for anything popular, here's your alternative: "President Trump Endorses Republican John Cox for..." Yeah, nope.

(C) Lt. Governor: Eleni Koulanakis @eleniforca

The Sac Bee/EMILY's List/Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris all endorse her. She seems highly qualified to tackle California's affordable housing and homelessness problems and out of the two candidates she's the only one who mentioned

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
