The indictment of Sussman is detailed and damning. It alleges that he hid the fact that he was working for the Clinton campaign in pushing the false Russian claim. ..jonathanturley.org/2021/08/16/bew…
...Here is the indictment. Notably it refers to his work with a "Tech Executive" who was promised a job in the Clinton administration. It also quotes recognition of the lack of factual support. washingtonpost.com/context/u-s-v-…
One researcher states "The only thing that drive[s] us at this point is that we just do not like [Trump]. This will not fly in eyes of public scrutiny. Folks, I am afraid we have tunnel vision."
The alleged hiding of the connection to the Clinton campaign is notable because Sussman's co-partner Marc Elias was also accused of hiding the connection as part of the Clinton campaign's denials before the election. jonathanturley.org/2021/08/23/cli…

In the ultimate admission against interest, Klain admitted that the OSHA vaccine mandate was a mere “work around” limits imposed on the federal government. The problem is that the thing being “worked around” is the Constitution...jonathanturley.org/2021/09/10/adm…
...The question is whether this clever work around will in fact work. It might, but there are ample grounds from challenge. OSHA could impose a federal mandate for any measure that impacts workers, including public health measures not directly linked to a given workplace or job.
The move is unnecessary and therefore reckless. There are already challenges to the law which the Justice Department could join as amicus. It would then not have to risk the creation of additional losses in court after the impressive litany of losses of the Biden Administration.

As expected, a federal court has rejected the constitutional challenge to the Newsham recall. capradio.org/169145#ruling The judge dismissed the claims for the very reasons discussed earlier. jonathanturley.org/2021/08/12/law…
“The United States Constitution and its principle of ‘one person, one vote’ does not prevent California from holding its ongoing gubernatorial recall election..."
"...There is nothing unconstitutional about placing in one ballot a vote for or against the recall of the Governor and then a vote for a replacement candidate.”

We are watching court challenges to vaccine mandates, including from those who have natural immunities. Now there is an Israeli study that found natural antibodies from those with the virus could be longer lasting than the protections afforded by vaccines.medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
...That study could soon become a factor in these cases. Some like a recent law professor argued that their natural antibodies made vaccines unnecessary. jonathanturley.org/2021/08/03/geo…
...The CDC is still recommending that those with natural antibodies get the vaccines for added protection. Courts will have to weigh these arguments. Another CDC argument could be that it is simply too difficult to check antibody levels of individuals rather than impose mandates

Marc Elias is leaving Perkins Coie before the release of the John Durham report. It is interesting that Maggie Haberman revealed it. She was one of the reporters who revealed the lies of the Clinton team over the Steele dossier. jonathanturley.org/2021/08/16/bew…
...New York Times reporter Ken Vogel said at the time that Clinton lawyer Marc Elias, with the law firm of Perkins Coie, denied involvement in the anti-Trump dossier...
...When Vogel tried to report the story, he said, Elias “pushed back vigorously, saying ‘You (or your sources) are wrong.’” Times reporter Maggie Haberman declared, “Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year.”jonathanturley.org/2021/08/16/bew…

President Biden called for the use of Civil Rights laws to oppose any state laws barring mask mandates.nytimes.com/2021/08/18/us/… That would seem a circumvention of the federalism barriers to national mandates. It could add another loss for the Administration.jonathanturley.org/2021/06/21/bid…
...Biden also said that the federal government would pay for the loss of wages for teachers punished under such state laws. That is a remarkable promise. It would seem to indemnify teachers for violating state law...
...As fluid as federal funds have become, the use of funds to indemnify for state violations is troubling. Moreover, how long will this apply. What is a teacher is suspended or fired for defying state law?

In the last week, Apple unveiled “NeuralHash,” a tool that will hasten our move toward a dystopian post-privacy world. jonathanturley.org/2021/08/13/the…
As Apple has suggested, the idea is to “Think Different” about privacy. Indeed, you have to think differently from the original Apple when many of us bought its first computer...
...Back then, in its famous “1984” Mac commercial, Apple literally smashed the authoritarian conformity of Big Brother. Now, conformity is good...
