-Lurid Crime Tales-
Head of Congressional Ethics Office Sued for Abusing Position, Accused of Assaulting Women
[FOREIGNPOLICY] A top congressional ethics official who oversees investigations into misconduct by lawmakers is accused in a federal lawsuit of verbally abusing and physically assaulting women and using his federal position to influence local law enforcement, according to a complaint filed in a federal court in Pennsylvania last month.

The ongoing lawsuit against Omar Ashmawy, staff director and chief counsel of the Office of Congressional Ethics, stems from his involvement in a late-night brawl in 2015 in Milford, Pennsylvania, and includes a range of allegations relating to his behavior that evening and in the following two-and-half years.

Ashmawy’s office conducts the preliminary investigations into allegations of misconduct in the House of Representatives, deciding which cases to pursue or refer to the Committee on Ethics. He is named in congressional documents as the official who presented one of the investigations into John Conyers, the Democratic lawmaker from Michigan accused of sexual harassment, to the ethics committee for further action.

Among other allegations, Ashmawy is accused in the lawsuit of “threatening to use his position as staff director and chief counsel of the Office of Congressional Ethics to induce a criminal proceeding to be brought against Plaintiff and/or others,” according to the federal lawsuit filed against him.

Regulators abolish 'net neutrality' rules in heated hearing that was stopped because of a BOMB threat
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Net neutrality is the principle that internet providers treat all web traffic equally

  • Obama-era 2015 rules prohibited telecom companies from blocking or slowing down apps that rival their own services

  • Now the FCC's Trump-appointed majority has repealed the rule along party lines, and protesters descended on Washington to oppose the plan

  • One Democratic commissioner said Republicans were 'handing the keys to the Internet' to a 'handful of multi-billion dollar corporations'

  • The Republican chairman said of the time before the rule was adopted, 'The Internet wasn't broken in 2015. We weren't living in a digital dystopia'

  • The hearing room was cleared briefly following a phoned-in bomb threat so explosive-sniffing dogs could be brought in

#8  "Net Neutrality" is another one of those false eupharysms from the democrats that the actual regulations do exactly opposite what they are called. This net neutrality thing guarantees that blogs and on line services that do not give equal time to opposing ideas can be shut down...unless you are a democrat. Much like "Affordable Care Act" and "Consumer Credit Protection Acts".

And with a pack of lefties on the panel, all we would have left was big brother.

The left set in place a number of regulations that were supposed to be steppingstones to a socialist/leftist "paradise". Hillary was supposed to continue the work with the media running cover until they were disposable useful idiots of the left. Taken with the weaponizing of the IRS, EPA, DoJ, FBI, BLM, and other agencies, both literally and figuratively, we were on the verge of a totalitarian nightmare.

That's why Trump's election was such a big deal and that's why the left is going knuckles to the firewall to take him down. Too bad the Internet has a long memory and nothing can be said or done without a record.

Our democracy dodged a bullet with Trump. I don't think he is a very good POTUS, compared to other good POTUS in the past, but he is doing just enough good and unwinding just enough of the leftist BS that OBAMA and the democrats put into place to save our way of life.

The millennials and the snowflakes have no idea of what would have happened to their safe places and trigger warnings had Hillary been elected and the master plan put into place.

They should have been reading Trotsky instead of Alinsky to get an idea of what was to come.

I still don't understand what the IRS needed with armored cars...or BLM needing storm trooper SWAT teams.

#11  I don't think he is a very good POTUS, compared to other good POTUS in the past,

This is one of those times when context is everything. Given what he has to deal with I think DT is doing all you could hope for.

The key here is that while Trump could "theoretically" do more, draining a swamp is hard for one person.

I hoped when he was elected (not my first choice by a ways) was that he would tear the masks off the treasonous Swamp creatures. He is doing that, hopefully that will be enough to ameliorate the corrupt status quo.

#12  If something is done by executive order or by bureaucratic regulation it is much easier for the next administration to turn it around. It was not an act of Congress. My fear is the Dims get control of Congress soon and then make stuff like this truly law.

Caribbean-Latin America
Venezuelan Opposition Banned From Next Years Elections
Venezuela's President, Nicolás Maduro, says the country's main opposition parties are banned from taking part in next year's presidential election.

He said only parties which took part in Sunday's mayoral polls would be able to contest the presidency.

Leaders from the Justice First, Popular Will and Democratic Action parties boycotted the vote because they said the electoral system was biased.

President Maduro insists the Venezuelan system is entirely trustworthy.

In a speech on Sunday, he said the opposition parties had "disappeared from the political map".

"A party that has not participated today and has called for the boycott of the elections can't participate anymore," he said.

In October, the three main opposition parties announced they would be boycotting Sunday's vote, saying it only served what they called President Maduro's dictatorship.

President Maduro says his party won more than 300 of the 335 mayoral races being contested. The election board put turn out at 47%.

Venezuela has been mired in a worsening economic crisis characterised by shortages of basic goods and soaring inflation.

Mr Maduro's pronouncement is designed to provoke the opposition. Especially since he justified the move saying it was a condition set out by the National Constituent Assembly - a body that the opposition refuses to recognise because they say it is undemocratic.

Mr Maduro has lost popularity because of the worsening economic crisis. In the face of criticism, his strategy has been one of "divide and conquer" - find ways of weakening the opposition to make them less of a threat.

And he hs succeeded - he has imprisoned some of the most popular opposition leaders like Leopoldo López. He has prevented others like Henrique Capriles from running for office. And now this threat - banning the most influential parties from taking part in future elections. The opposition is in crisis and Mr Maduro is gloating.

Mr Maduro said he was following the criteria set by the National Constituent Assembly in banning opposition parties from contesting next year's election.

But the assembly, which came into force in August and has the ability to rewrite the constitution, is made up exclusively of government loyalists. Opposition parties see it as a way for the president to cling to power.

The presidential vote had been scheduled for December 2018, but analysts say it could now be brought forward.

Venezuela, in the north of South America, is home to more than 30 million people. It has some of the world's largest oil deposits as well as huge quantities of coal and iron ore.

Despite its rich natural resources many Venezuelans live in poverty. This led President Maduro's predecessor, Hugo Chávez, to style himself as a champion of the poor during his 14 years in office.

Now the country is starkly divided between supporters of President Maduro and those who want an end to the Socialist Party's 18 years in government.

Supporters of Mr Maduro say his party has lifted many people out of poverty, but critics say it has eroded Venezuela's democratic institutions and mismanaged its economy.

Clinton Struck Deal With Obama State Dept. to Keep Records Private
[FreeBeacon] Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton struck a deal with the State Department while serving in the Obama administration that allowed her to take ownership of records she did not want made public, according to recently released reports.

Clinton and her then-deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin were permitted to remove electronic and physical records under a claim they were "personal" materials and "unclassified, non-record materials."
W...T...F..?
Judicial Watch made the revelation after filing a FOIA request with the State Department and obtaining a record of the agreement.

The newly released documents show the deal allowed Clinton and Abedin to remove documents related to particular calls and schedules, and the records would not be "released to the general public under FOIA." Abedin, for instance, was allowed to remove electronic records and five boxes of physical files, including files labeled "Muslim Engagement Documents."
"Oh, these? They're just some old records relating to arranged marriages. It's a Muslim 'Thing." Do you really want to go there Mr. Inspector?
The released records included a list of designated materials that "would not be released to the general public under FOIA" and were to be released "to the Secretary with this understanding."

Electronic copy of "daily files" ‐ which are word versions of public documents and non-records: speeches/press statements/photos from the website, a non-record copy of the schedule, a non record copy of the call log, press clips, and agenda of daily activities

Electronic copy of a log of calls the Secretary made since 2004, it is a non-record, since her official calls are logged elsewhere (official schedule and official call log)

Electronic copy of the Secretary’s "call grid" which is a running list of calls she wants to make (both personal and official)

16 boxes: Personal Schedules (1993 thru 2008-prior to the Secretary’s tenure at the Department of State.

29 boxes: Miscellaneous Public Schedules during her tenure as FLOTUS and Senator-prior to the Secretary’s tenure at the Department of State

1 box: Personal Reimbursable receipts (6/25/2009 thru 1/14/2013)

1 box: Personal Photos

1 box: Personal schedule (2009-2013)
1 box: Cloth Computer Wipes
A physical file of "the log of the Secretary’s gifts with pictures of gifts" was also handed over to Clinton. Gifts received by government employees is highly regulated, and often strictly limited. However, gifts that are "motivated by a family relationship or personal friendship" may be accepted without limitation.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton released a statement condemning the agreement between the government and Clinton.

"We already know the Obama State Department let Hillary Clinton steal and then delete her government emails, which included classified information. But these new records show that was only part of the scandal," Fitton said. "These new documents show the Obama State Department had a deal with Hillary Clinton to hide her calls logs and schedules, which would be contrary to FOIA and other laws."

"When are the American people going to get an honest investigation of the Clinton crimes?" he added.

#3  The mystery in Vince Foster's office.

Williams denies taking anything from the office, but a Secret Service agent testified that he saw her carrying a stack of files from the area of his office. Williams also has said repeatedly that Hillary Clinton did not direct White House counsel Nussbaum to alter his agreement with Justice Department officials and limit their search two days after Foster's death, July 22. ............(1993)

Some might detect a pattern

Paul Ryan To Step Aside In '18, Leave DC
[POLITICO]

Update from The Daily Caller at 1:15 p.m. ET:
House Speaker Paul Ryan denied reporters he’s contemplating retirement, telling reporters Thursday he has no plans to step down anytime soon.

“I ain’t going anywhere,” he said while leaving the Capitol.
It helps to check with the person involved, instead of relying on those claiming to know.

Clintons 'systematically destroyed' Secret Service's integrity, let Chinese generals walk into White House with unchecked brown paper bags, claims ex-officer
[DailyMail] - Gary Byrne reveals how the agency compromised its integrity in Secrets of the Secret Service: The History and Uncertain Future of the US Secret Service

- They allegedly served Bill and Hillary Clinton with 'blind loyalty' and colluded with the couple in the 'Chinagate' campaign finance scandal in 1996

- The Chinese government was accused of using shell companies to donate to Democrats to buy access for Chinese goods to be imported to the US

- Agents knowingly allowed Chinese generals - disguised in civilian clothing - in the White House and logged them in as 'business guests' at the couple's request

- The Secret Service also ignored the contents of brown paper bags brought into the White House by Chinese officials

- Hillary allegedly once threw a Bible at an agent on her detail and hit him on the back of the head

#4  "Why would they then be blindly loyal?"

They weren't loyal to Der Slickmeister and Hildebeast as much as they were loyal to a lifestyle. One does not get on PPD by being a bonehead. When they get there the are usually a GS13/14 w/LEAP, a G-ride, tons of O/T and per diem on travel. Kids going to great schools in Fairfax County and career prospects are high. Compare that with rummaging through dumpsters in Fairbanks , AK looking for phony credit card receipts. Do the math.
Posted by: Bangkok Billy || 12/15/2017 6:49 Comments || Top||

#5  PPD - Presidential Protective Detail
LEAP - Special pay somewhat akin to military Special Duty Pay (SDP).
G-Ride - Government vehicle.

Violate the employment agreement (cone of silence), and 'dumpsters in Fairbanks' might start to look quite rewarding. Your clearance is suspended and your career in law enforcement is finished.
