Tim Finnegan Still no text messages published by Joe ... do they exist? Maybe his buddy will leak them.

You say Mueller has seen the Comey memos... has Congress? You would think that he would have had them ready when he testified ... still waiting for them. If they're not classified we should all be able to see his memos. If they exist. And are they he...See More

Analysis | Science teachers: DeVos’s Education Department is misinterpreting federal law

The department, they say, is incorrectly giving science short shrift in accountability plans.

Tim Finnegan Bob, you and the rest of the left should be happy. DeVos is simply continuing the policies of the Obama administration. Or did you not read this sentence of the article...

"To be sure, the Trump administration wasn't the first to interpret the ESSA law this way. In January 2017, shortly before leaving office, the Obama administration issue...See More

EasTexSteve The story is about APs fake news and subsequent correction. It's not about your deflection regarding a Dow Chemical product.

Wow! Now the left wants the president to assassinate his SIL? I guess they are fine with inciting violence when it's against rich white guys.

Watergate Articles of Impeachment

by Chalky

Jul 1, 2017

I was too young during Watergate to pay much attention to the actual developments during Watergate, so I've been doing some research recently as to similarities between Nixon's behavior and Trumps.

http://watergate.info/impeachment/articles-of-impeachment

EasTexSteve I would say that unless you were around at the time, the powers-that-be have had time to revise history, and the real truth about Watergate has been thrown in the trash.

Why won't Trump "keep us safe"?

by Bob R/CA

Jul 1, 2017

He's taken no action - and appears unwilling to even discuss it - to punish Russia for their attacks - or stop the next attack. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/trump-white-house-has-taken-little-action-stop-next-election-n776116

Trump White House has taken little action to stop next election hack

Despite warnings, the Trump administration has done little to stop the next Russian hack, according to intelligence officials, experts and state officials.

NBC News | nbcnews.com

Bob R/CA Obama expelled diplomats, seized their espionage mansions, and levied sanctions on Russia. Trump has rolled back the sanctions and is giving the mansions back. What does Russia have on Trump? Why won't he keep us safe? Why aren't Republicans outraged and alarmed?

Chalky That's strange because I can read it without registering and I've never registered on that website.

:::quote::: Updated 6/20/17, 9:10 a.m. A second lawyer from the U.S. solicitor general's office has signed on to the legal team of special counsel Robert Mueller in his investigation of possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Elizabeth Prelogar, an assistant to the solicitor general, is working with deputy solicitor general Michael Dreeben in his part-time role in Mueller's legal team, according to lawyers familiar with the assignment. The participation of Dreeben, the Justice Department's top criminal law expert, was widely seen as a sign that Mueller was investigating possible criminal violations by President Donald Trump or others.

Unlike Dreeben, Prelogar does not have a single specialty in the solicitor general's office. She has argued five cases at the high court ranging from United States v. June, a Federal Tort Claims Act case, to Tyson v. Bouaphakeo, a class action dispute.

Prelogar, a former law clerk to Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan, is a Harvard Law School graduate and formerly worked in private practice at Hogan Lovells. Her involvement in the Russia probe has not previously been reported.

Prelogar also appears to be fluent in Russian. As an Emory College undergraduate, she majored in English and Russian. After graduating from Emory she was a Fulbright scholar in Russia. When she was a 1L at Harvard Law in 2006, she won an Overseas Press Club scholarship to study Russian media and censorship.

Former solicitor general Donald Verrilli Jr., now a partner at Munger, Tolles & Olson, hired Prelogar in 2014. "Like Michael Dreeben, she is a person of superb intellect and deep integrity," Verrilli said Monday. "She can be counted on to call it as she sees it."

Hogan partner Neal Katyal, who worked with her at the firm, said, "Elizabeth is perhaps the best young lawyer with whom I have ever worked. She is brilliant, completely apolitical, and as by the book as they come. It's no surprise to me Mueller snapped her up" from the solicitor general's office.

According to a Politico report Friday, Mueller's team now includes 13 lawyers, with "several more in the pipeline." :::end quote:::

And more Fake News from MSNBC

MSNBC Won't Release Evidence of 'Morning Joe' Hosts' Charge That White House Pressured Them (Updated)

..Brzezinski, however, claimed that the National Enquirer was aggressive in pressuring them.

"These calls persisted for quite some time," she said Friday on "Morning Joe." "They were threatening. They were calling my children."

Chalky Are you anticipating that evidence will be released to the public soon?

It quite possible that the tweets, calls, and text messages from White House employees might be part of an investigation now.

See 18 USC 872

Mueller might like to see that evidence before you get to, ETS.
