1. For folks who don't know what gets you a perjury charge:

"During his congressional testimony, Ross testified that the Department of Justice requested adding the citizenship question to the census
apnews.com/article/joe-bi…
2. form in late 2017 for the purpose of enforcing federal voting rights law. But the inspector general probe said that “misrepresented the full rationale” since Wilbur’s staff had been communicating with the Department of Justice many months before the request was made."
3. So if the follow up did not pin down to be sure he was saying that was the "only" reason, his statement is facially true but misleading. IMO based on DOJ perjury investigation experiences, that does not support a perjury charge.
4. Try taking a civil suit deposition and then go back an charge for all the stuff they didn't say but might of said if asked. It's why Congress needs to use competent prepared trial attorneys to question weasel witnesses instead of holding what amounts to a political event.

1. As I predicted #Taliban are murdering the people who teach girls. This is clearly terrorism and the @StateDept and @WhiteHouse must move to re-list the Taliban as a FTO. If the measure is that they are not directly threatening an attack on the US, then why is the
2. #PKK listed? Taliban terrorizes civilians. The PKK is supported by the civilian population in Northern Kurdistan and along Iraqi border. Turkish occupation forces are the party conducting what could be defined under US law as terrorist operations in Kurdistan not the PKK.
3. The use of the listing process for political expedience IMO voids every charge under FTO listings because it is used as a mechanism to advance US policy goals and not a legitimate definition of an element of a criminal offense. It is used to impair first amendment rights of US

1. I did a quick look at the comparative air force strengths in a CCP air war with Taiwan, Japan & the US. IMO if he follows the hardliners, Xi risks US air supremacy along the coast in a matter of days. I don't see much of the the bellicose language from CCP hardliners recently
2. perhaps because as reported >20 of our F-22 Raptors are training on Guam. In a potential air war, that's a big deal. The fighter is not just stealthy, it allows the US to dominate the battlefield from a top perch that can directed all other forces.
3. I can envision it as part of a MALD JSOW and HARM stand-off attack that could achieve the destruction of the Chinese coastal antiaircraft facilities much like Baghdad in 1990. Most analysts view CCP as risk adverse. That's why I think the move on Hong Kong evidences CCP

1. Here is clip from @POTUS nominee @JeffFlake on the decision to partner with who, at the time, were the #Kurdish #YPG #YPJ to stop the spread of #Daesh (aka #ISIS) in #Syria. This was after disastrous attempt to arm a #jihadist forces who simply gave their weapons to al-Qaeda.
2. I did some searches on Twitter timeline for that period of 2014. America was just waking up to the fact that the #Kurds were our best option to defeat #Daesh. There were risks but the decision has proven to be the correct one. Now under #AANES civilian authority backed by the
3. #SDF that includes Kurds, #Arabs and #Christians, Jeff Flake is a good choice and I applaud @joeBiden's @WhiteHouse and @JakeSullivan46 for thinking outside the box. I sincerely hope @SenatorMenendez

1. What if your cable company allowed someone to knowingly produce false reports about an emergency? Imagine if they gave a private party the power to run a fake emergency message. We had an erroneous imminent missile impact message a few years ago. What if Jeff Bazos
2. could buy the right to publish a message like that on TV and radio just to satisfy a twisted sense of humor? Does he have a right to do that? Does the cable company have the right to do it? Can they both be sued for agreement to it and do they have liability for the damages
3. it causes including emotional distress? I think the answer is they don't have the right to do it and yes they can be sued.

Public nuisance law already gives the government and public power to punish, through civil litigation conduct of that sort. What about the anti-vaxers?

1. All we are doing in Afghanistan is a generation skip. Next group of US service members who will die in Afghanistan are currently in jr. high school. Terrorist don't stop being terrorists because we surrender. They become emboldened.
2. The logic behind this would be consistent with announcing we're pulling out of @NATO because other members didn't evolve in over 75 years to defend themselves. Same for Korea. Evil will always threaten. When we surrender evil wins.
3. The old strategy wasn't bringing peace. The solution is a new strategy not surrender. Look at a map. Taliban are being supplied by Iran, Pak and Russia. Like it or not this is the geopolitical reality of Afghanistan that Russia wants to use as an incubator for terror attacks.

1. Is the Russian state engaged in "international terrorism?"
Here is the 18 USC § 2331(1) definition:
(1) the term “international terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation
2. of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population . . .
3. Would the arrest that is described here be "a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State?" I think it would. So if that element is satisfied, you ask, "does the action
