[WJZ Baltimore] — Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh was sentenced Thursday to three years in prison and three years of probation after pleading guilty to multiple charges in the “Healthy Holly” book scandal.
Pugh walked into a federal courthouse Thursday morning for her sentencing in a lucrative, years-long scheme in which she sold her self-published children’s books to nonprofits and foundations to promote her political career and fund her run for mayor.
The sentencing came hours after Pugh’s lawyers released a pre-produced video apology from her.

[Politico] Some supporters of President Donald Trump see a threat bigger than the spread of a highly contagious novel coronavirus: a conspiracy by deep state actors to use the virus against the president.
One key piece of evidence fueling their theory: An official from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention making public statements on the outbreak is the sister of Rod Rosenstein, the former deputy attorney general who oversaw the Mueller probe and, according to a disputed report, once discussed removing Trump from office.
Dr. Nancy Messonnier, head of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases ‐ who got a shoutout from her brother for attending his 2017 confirmation hearing ‐ warned Americans in a Tuesday media briefing that an outbreak in the U.S. is inevitable.
Messonnier’s comments got widespread attention, sparking calls for further actions by the administration, which had long struck a more reassuring note. The furor appeared to catch Trump flat-footed while en route back from his summit with the Indian prime minister, during which he had declared the outbreak "very well under control." Emphasis added para 2.
[IsraelTimes] Two leading Democratic presidential hopefuls said Wednesday that they would not attend the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) upcoming conference, shrinking the list of potential 2020 Democrats to show up as the pro-Israel lobby tries to maintain its bipartisan identity.
Former South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg ...the testicleless mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012. Buttigieg graduated from Harvard College and, on a Rhodes Scholarship, from Pembroke College, Oxford. From 2007 to 2010, he worked at McKinsey and Company, a consulting firm. From 2009 to 2017 Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying to Afghanistan in 2014. Buttigieg was first elected mayor of South Bend in 2011 and was reelected in 2015. During his second term, he announced he was gay. Buttigieg also campaigned for Indiana state treasurer in 2010 and for chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2017, losing both elections. He is running for the Dem nomination in 2020 on the theory that being mayor of a nondescript medium sized city is qualification to run the country... and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar

[NY Post - Page Six] An Arkansas judge has nixed Hunter Biden‘s bid to put off his child support deposition until after most of the key Democratic primaries are over, according to a news report.
"He needs to make himself available unless his hair is on fire," Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer fired back at Biden's lawyers during a conference call Wednesday, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. "He needs to be in Arkansas and he needs to be in a deposition."
Biden, 50, the son of former vice president and Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden, had asked Meyer to postpone his deposition until April.
That would place the questioning after the March dates of many of the decisive state primaries ‐ including Super Tuesday next week ‐ in which his father is battling for the Democratic party's nomination.

If Hunter has any affairs not fully in order, he may wish to tidy up lose ends rather quickly. My guess is he's got a bulls eye painted on his arse.

#8 Ha good one, Raj. No question that the DNC are figuring out a way to keep Hoover Crackpipe out of sight for the next 8 months.
If not the virus then maybe they'll just rely on a strict embargo by their media wing, complete with perfunctory dismissals of any reference to Biden family corruption as a "debunked" "conspiracy theory."
