A column on special dispensation given Joe Biden by members of Congress and the media. The pattern of media avoidance is more glaring with recent Biden controversies. It is the same crafting of the coverage to confine damage that is raised in the column... jonathanturley.org/2020/05/25/why…
In the 11th century, Pope Urban II formalized the use of indulgences, which could be purchased to forgive sins.
Now the 2020 election has become the ultimate crusade, and President Trump’s critics seem to be enjoying indulgences in tossing aside moral and ethical considerations.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. just became the latest Democratic member to declare that she believes Joe Biden raped one of his Senate aides and is still lying about it publicly. However, she will still endorse him and vote for him to be the next president. startribune.com/omar-says-she-…
The former head of CBS just wrote a column that left-oriented media bias is now past the tipping point and it is no longer viable for the media to return to truly neutral reporting. I do not agree but it is refreshing to see an acknowledgment of the bias.

Rosenstein just testified that he would not have signed the warrant application in 2017 on Carter Page because of the misconduct of FBI agents and the lack of evidence. He said he did not know that the Steele dossier was discredited by that time. He said McCabe particularly...
..."was not candid ... or forthcoming." Notably, we now know that the Flynn investigation found no criminal acts by December 2016 and now Rosenstein said he would have ended the investigation of Page which was the focus of the early justifications of the Russian investigation.
Rosenstein just said he did not know that investigators by the early January 2017 asked for Flynn to be removed from the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. He signed off on these warrants and applications but was never informed of those critical facts.

The Washington Post is reporting that President Trump indicated that he might take direct control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department to quell the riots. This appears a reference to Section 1-207.40. Unlike the Insurrection Act, this provision is ...
...written in mandatory terms and no qualifications. The law gives the President the discretion ("may direct") and gives the Mayor a mandatory obligation ("shall provide") the services specified by the President. In other words, he could take effective control in tasking ...
...the D.C. police with deployment or enforcement roles. "Emergency" is left ambiguous under the law but few courts would question that rioting qualifies. In other words, this could be used by the President in any dispute over his plan to "dominate the streets."

The problem is that the most obvious culprits were all-too-well-known to many politicians and the media. A movement of self-described anti-fascist, anarchist and extreme-left groups has been building for years...thehill.com/opinion/civil-…
Some politicians like Keith Ellison clearly sought in prior years to tap into the “anti-fascist movement.” This is why, during the French Revolution, the journalist Jacques Mallet du Pan warned, “Like Saturn, the Revolution devours its children.” thehill.com/opinion/civil-…
As discussed in today's column, police continue to report a large number of arrested anarchists and Antifa members, including many with weapons, scouts, and plans for rioting. These are not Russians shedding their Usanka hats for signature Antifa ski masks nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
