2. One would hope that this is a signal that Qatar, KSA and UAE will soon stop their financing of the Turkish Al-Qaeda and ISIS mercenaries in Northern Syria including the area where they attack coalition partner #SDF forces.
3. IMO Erdogan is the most dangerous terrorist on Earth and at some point our leaders, diplomats and IC will have to face the total failure of the policies that they have advanced in Syria and Iraq thinking Al-Qaeda were our pals.
4. The American people will not long tolerate those who work with our enemies. Every shell or bomb the Turkish terrorists send into free Syrian territory should be met with a 100 in response. If you cave to a bully
5. the bully will own you. If you stand up to a bully they always back down. If the Gulf kingdoms want our protection from Iran they need to cut the Turks off and let Putin's pal Erdogan twist in the wind. @PressSec@NSC_Spox@StateDeptSpox@PentagonPresSec

1. I don't usually watch @AriMelber but I watched his Assange block. He didn't provide a balanced news report but advanced a position. That's often his approach and why I don't generally watch him. He is 100% wrong on both the law and the facts. I'd bet he's never read the recent
2. Assange indictment that alleges he solicited a crime and then assisted in the commission. The press does not have immunity. The answer for the bar exam is always look to see if the fact pattern makes the press subject to limitations that are not applied to the general public,

1. Spoiler alert. I'm pretty sure one thing they are hiding in the JFK files has to do with two former US presidents who were both former intelligence officers. My guess is Cruz' father was affiliated with the one
2. from Houston. And fun fact, there's third former president who was also an intelligence officer. And I think they all hated the filthy-rich handsome Irish Catholic war hero who got all the girls in the South Pacific where all four served at the same time.
3. I was thinking about writing a play set in bar in Tulagi where they hatch a plan to get even with him. Maybe a musical. 😎
IMO this was not a classic Ponzi that generally start with some form of legitimate business that begins to not meet expectations and turns to cycling new investor money to pay old investors. Bernie Madoff is a prime example. I'll be interested to know if and when a Bankruptcy is
filed. Ponzis will generally create a large group of early investors who got paid who the Bankruptcy trustee sues under the strong-arm powers to recover for all the creditors. This scheme sounds more like a fraud from the start. When the DOJ starts realizing that likely all
1. From 2009. "FBI - Former Mahoning County Judge Charged with Honest Services Mail Fraud" fbi.gov/cleveland/pres…
2. We focus on the lack of a code of ethics for SCOTUS justices but that's just a smoke screen concealing the fact that federal law prohibits them from participating in a case in which there's a conflict. See 28 USC 455(a) that says "shall" so no discretion to not disqualify.
3. Thomas knew his wife had an interest in cases and still ruled. See (5)(iii).
1. His lies still give hint of what might be the truth.
Speaker Pelosi has no power to call out the Guard. Only he had it but he had to first deploy the regular Army and/or Marines and only if they could not deploy did he have the power to call up the DC Guard.
2. Have you noticed that acting SecDef Miller is not a subject of the investigations? When his order cut off FPOTUS's ability to call out the armed DC Guard, and because there was no suggestion that the Army or Marines could not deploy, there was no way for
3. FPOTUS to quickly deploy the combat ready DC Guard that was likely what Flynn and Perry were plotting to use to shut down the Capitol and stop the Electoral count. He's may be talking about this now because he's getting reports from witnesses in the
1. #FTX CEO John Jay Ray III made what I think is a in inaccurate representation to the House Financial Services Committee that a pending state proceeding precludes the filing of a Bankruptcy. @RepMaxineWaters@BradSherman4SFV
2. Assuming he is talking about a state custodian/receiver they're terminated by a Bankruptcy filing. See 11 USC 543. I know because I work on receiverships and know that receiver clients and I are not protected in our fees if a receivership is impacted by a Bankruptcy filing.
3. Ray said that they couldn't file based on the state enforcement and IMO that is false. The Bankruptcy Code section 543 trumps state receivers or conservators.
