[WashingtomTimes] Mark S. Zaid, a prominent national security lawyer in Washington and a Trump critic on Twitter, has joined the legal team representing the intelligence community whistleblower who is targeting President Trump.
Mr. Zaid's law partner, Bradley P. Moss, is attacking conservatives who have vilified the unidentified whistleblower. He called the Trump supporters "human excrement posing as human beings."
Ms. Zaid maintains a steady presence on Twitter, where he frequently criticizes Mr. Trump and retweets his critics.
"The US media is a joke; in the world says @realDonaldTrump. How #embarrassing to hear this from a president," Mr. Zaid tweeted as Mr. Trump went after his favorite target. "Hey @FoxNews @Potus didn't exclude you from that criticism."
On the immigration front, Mr. Zaid had this comment on his retweet of a story that claimed archaeological damage if the southern border wall is built: "Of course it will." Save the cactus!
Ms. Moss, Ms. Zaid's partner, is a Twitter combatant who regularly disparages Mr. Trump's defenders.
He tweeted at former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker: "I hope you're ready to get sued for defamation for claiming falsely that the whistleblower tried to leak information to the Washington Post." right, and open their client to disclosure? I think not.
When former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik who dared questioned the whistleblower's treasonous corruption politics and accuracy, Mr. Moss said: "You're a disgrace and an ex-convict yourself. The IC IG; who was appointed by Trump; validated the disclosure qualified as an urgent concern. Why don't you go back to committing tax fraud? You were better than me good at that."
To Fox News; Geraldo Rivera, who called the whistleblower a "punk," Mr. Moss tweeted: "get on your knees and beg the whistleblower for forgiveness, you despicable hack. Ms Moss has gay bashing fantasies? DNC to rebutt shortly
[The Federalist] When do 'coincidences' become sheer corruption?
While serving as senator of Delaware, Joe Biden reached out discreetly to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to discuss matters his son Hunter Biden’s firm was then lobbying for, according to government records Goodman gathered.
In 2002, while his father was a senator, Hunter founded the lobbying firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair, which lobbied on the Hill. When his father announced his candidacy for president in 2008, Hunter opted to leave the firm, claiming it was to reduce concerns about conflicts of interest.
While Hunter was still at the firm, in late February 2007, then-Sen. Joe Biden reached out to DHS, expressing concern over the department’s proposed chemical security regulations. The regulations were in accordance with Section 550 of the DHS Appropriations Act of 2007, which called for chemical facilities to submit detailed "site security plans" for DHS approval. Part of these plans were expected to include specifics related to training and credentialing employees.
Biden’s call seems like an eerie coincidence. Two months prior to that phone call, the Industrial Safety Training Council had enlisted Hunter Biden’s firm to lobby DHS precisely on Section 550. The Industrial Safety Training Council is a 501(c)3 that offers safety training services to employees of chemical plants. In the midst of debates over regulations stemming from Section 550, ISTC launched significant lobbying efforts to encourage the expansion of background checks under the new regulation regime.

[USA Today] PHOENIX ‐ Hours before President Donald Trump announced the death of the leader of ISIS, the chairwoman of the Arizona Democratic Party said in public remarks that Trump had aligned himself with the terrorist organization.
The Arizona Republican Party hit Felecia Rotellini on Tuesday for her ill-timed remark at Saturday's "We the Voters Conference" hosted by the Citizens Clean Elections Commission in downtown Phoenix.
During a panel discussion, Rotellini explained why she thought people will show up to vote in 2020.
"Another reason why people are going to vote (is) because Donald Trump is manipulating the White House and has aligned himself with ISIS and Saudi Arabia," Rotellini said. An HOUR before Trump's orders were carried out to kill Al-Baghdadi. Nicely done, puerile idiot
State Republican Chairwoman Kelli Ward, who was part of the same panel, immediately interjected. "I have to say that is not true. That is not true," Ward said as Rotellini tried to continue.
[The Hill] Former national security adviser John Bolton will not appear voluntarily to testify in connection with the House impeachment inquiry into President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.
Bolton’s attorney Chuck Cooper told The Hill in an email late Wednesday that Bolton would not appear voluntarily and would need to be subpoenaed.
House Democrats have issued subpoenas to several witnesses in order to compel their testimony amid efforts by the White House to prevent their appearance. The White House has refused to cooperate with the impeachment inquiry, describing it as illegitimate and an attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 presidential election.
House investigators on Wednesday invited Bolton, who was dramatically ousted as Trump’s third national security adviser in September, to testify at a deposition on Nov. 7, next week.
It is not clear whether a subpoena will be enough to compel his appearance. Charles Kupperman, former deputy national security adviser, filed a lawsuit on Friday asking a federal court to weigh in on whether he should obey a subpoena to testify or instructions from the White House against cooperating, describing himself as caught between two competing branches of government.

I suspect he will wait for DEMs to force him with all the pressure they can bring and when cameras are on and everyone watching he will testify and it will destroy the impeachment narrative.
At this point I wouldn’t doubt if his break up with Trump wasn’t planned with this end game in mind.

It'd be funny if he went and answered every question with "I believe that every Democrat here is a member of an attempted coup to overthrow the legal government of the United States."
[The Federalist] Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., told Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto he wouldn’t support a Bernie Sanders presidency, even if Sanders were the nominee against Trump.
"What if he were your nominee for President and it’s him versus Donald Trump. Who do you vote for?" Cavuto asked.

And that's just one half of the Uniparty. We haven't even gotten to Pierre Delecto, Swingin' Mark Sanford and the other narcissists shitting up the other side of the aisle.
TL;DR: We are ruled by morons. God what a shitty political class we have.

I have an idea, why not run Conan* the ISIS eating dog for Congress.
(a) She's lot more intelligent then most of them.
(b) She doesn't spouts nonsense.
(c) She's a veteran.
(d) If she's in Congress, Ilhan Omar will just disappear one day.
Diana her guide, not Orion,
The bitch had the heart of a lion,
All bite and no bark
As she raced through the dark,
Though her namesake was Conan O'Brien.
Here comes the fix. From the article:
[TheHill] Senate Republicans are taking the House impeachment proceedings against President Trump more seriously as damaging revelations against the president mount and the possibility of a quick dismissal of the charges shrinks.
Earlier this year, GOP senators pledged to quickly quash any articles of impeachment passed by the House. But as the Democrats compile more evidence that Trump withheld military assistance from Ukraine to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, they are adopting a more sober tone.
While no Senate Republican has said the charges against Trump rise to the level of being an impeachable offense, many have expressed concern over the drip-drip of damaging revelations.

Soetoroesque blatherings of what they hope to one day see. These communist foks are setting the stage for a massive rejection of the 2020 election outcome. If they can destroy the man or break his will to fight before the election, they will.
As VDH writes, their longer-term goal is to discourage future conservative presidential candidates (and conservative contituencies) by making the process so onerous and painful no one will wish to participate.
A single party system is the goal. Cities like Chicago, New York and states such as California are the desired outcomes. The individual candidate you vote for (if you sill bother to vote) will not matter. It is the party candidate, their party.
They are ruthless pieces of kak. Always have been.
I'm starting to look at almost any news story as a marketing campaign rather than a dispassionate set of facts. What are they trying to sell today? And why?
However, sometimes the news story is what they are *not* talking about.

The problem that I see with the 'damaging revelations' is that The Hill is giving full face value to the 'recent' testimony that's negative toward Trump (the supposed Mulvaney statement 'admitting' to a quid pro Joe) and one on Wednesday by John Sullivan whilst ignoring testimony to the contrary (NSC Official Tom Morrison, Who Listened In on Ukraine Call: Nothing I Heard Was Illegal or Suspicious).
[SDUT] A federal appeals court says the Trump administration can't require Los Angeles police to cooperate with immigration agents in order to receive public safety grants. "Give us the money, Lebowski!"
A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld a lower court ruling rejecting efforts to impose immigration enforcement requirements for Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants.
The ruling is one of several that have blocked administration efforts to withhold money from sanctuary cities.
The administration sought to withhold the grant ‐ a major funding source ‐ unless the LAPD gave immigration agents access to city jails and advance notice of immigrants being released.
The city argued police shouldn't have to enforce civil immigration policy and that immigrants who feared deportation would be less likely to cooperate with police or report crimes.

Do these people who call themselves judges have even the faintest understanding of the concept of citizenship?
Nothing better shows how far off track, how stupid and surreal, is our political class's notion of governance than the idea that non-citizens who have broken our laws by illegal entry should be immune from prosecution.
"Sanctuary cities," "amnesty": f---ing Orwellian.
We're through the looking glass. The Queen of Hearts barking madly about execution first, sentence next, then trial.
Utter insanity. No other nation on this planet would even consider imposing such an obviously stupid, upside-down, self-destructive policy as this.

Sedition or Malfeasance:
Elements of Malfeasance
In determining whether a public official has committed malfeasance, the courts must consider whether certain elements have been fulfilled. While every circumstance is different, the following elements generally must be present:
1.The official has committed an affirmative act or omission – this means the official has physically taken action, or purposely decided not to act.
2.The act must have been performed in the individual’s official capacity.
3.The act interferes with the individual’s performance of his official duties, or with the official duties of another public official.
[San Diego Reader] San Diego cops are wading into a nasty fight over who should be the next District Attorney of San Francisco. The target: Chesa Boudin, a liberal in the race triggered when incumbent George Gascon suddenly quit and headed off to Los Angeles to explore a bid for D.A. there against pro-police D.A. Jackie Lacey.
A child of Weather Underground bomb builders who went to prison in conjunction with the 1981 Brink's robbery in New York, Boudin has been San Francisco's deputy public defender. He joins the ranks of those around the country in similar lines of work trying to get elected top prosecutors, including Geneviéve Jones-Wright who failed in her election bid last year against Summer Stephan. Like Jones-Wright, Boudin is being linked by his foes to liberal billionaire George Soros.
Two weeks ago, San Francisco cops set up an anti-Boudin political fund called the Committee for a Safer and Cleaner San Francisco Opposing Boudin for District Attorney 2019 sponsored by San Francisco Police Officers Association. "Boudin has never prosecuted a case in his life and is a danger to public safety, period," Officers Association president Tony Montoya told the San Francisco Examiner. "He will work harder at finding ways for criminals to get back on our streets than protecting crime victims and increasing neighborhood safety."
The Bay Area cops union has so far kicked in a total of $50,000 to its new anti-Boudin Committee, per the paper, with more promised. The effort is their biggest since last year when San Francisco police tried but failed to get voters there to equip cops with stun guns via the ballot box. On October 18, the San Diego Police Officers Association, also ardent foes of Jones-Wright, came through with an initial $5000 contribution to their San Francisco brethren's anti-progressive push, according to a disclosure filing with San Diego's city clerk's office.

She looked particularly gleeful having them taken. I can't say they had that effect on me. In fact the phrasing of that sentence tells you a lot about her.
From Dr. Lecter's Ledger
Schizoid and narcissistic comorbidity with a martymachlia edge. Would not make a good wife, parent, or social/public worker. Also, secretly wishes to be eaten.

Katie Hill needs to take responsibility for her behavior and quit blaming others for what she did. Don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.

Typical Congresscritter narcissist.
Sweetheart, the only reason you got nookie in this case was the power you wielded over a naive 22 year old employee.
This POS still doesn't get that she abused her office. That's a crime. Has nothing to do with her stupid boring utterly banal ugly pics that couldn't even stimulate a hormone addled 13 year old of any sex.
