bipartisanreport--2020-06-10--Judge Reviewing Flynn Case Declares ‘Corrupt’ Handling By Team Trump

In one of the final major legal battles connected to criminal charges against allies of President Donald Trump in connection to the Russia investigation , one former federal judge has now handed down a harsh condemnation of the Trump team ’ s behavior .
The Justice Department abruptly filed a motion to drop the government ’ s case against former Trump administration official Michael Flynn , who ’ d previously pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators .
Now , in a new court filing , former federal judge John Gleeson counters that the Justice Department ’ s abandonment of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corrupt.
” No facts changed in between the charges against Flynn and Attorney General Bill Barr ’ s team ’ s decision to drop the case ; the Trump team simply concluded that the Flynn case was not worth pursuing .
Gleeson was a federal judge in Manhattan until 2016 , and before his time on the bench , he was a federal prosecutor who took on targets like the mob .
POLITICO notes that he “ was appointed last month by [ Judge Emmet Sullivan ] to help him tackle the highly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ criminal case against Flynn despite the guilty plea he entered back in 2017 as part of a cooperation deal with special counsel Robert Mueller.
” In his new court filing , Gleeson recommended that the judge sentence Flynn despite the government ’ s motion to drop the proceedings .
Gleeson called the government ’ s motion to drop Flynn ’ s case a “ gross abuse of prosecutorial power , ” adding in reference to the government ’ s claims about the supposed need to drop Flynn ’ s case : ‘ Even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deference in assessing the strength of its case , these claims are not credible .
Indeed , they are preposterous… The facts surrounding the filing of the Government ’ s motion constitute clear evidence of gross prosecutorial abuse .
They reveal an unconvincing effort to disguise as legitimate a decision to dismiss that is based solely on the fact that Flynn is a political ally of President Trump.
’ Many observers have frequently wondered whether the president would issue a pardon for Flynn .
In his filing , Gleeson acknowledged that a presidential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ implicitly corrupt one — but he condemned the Trump team for trying to rope in the federal courts in letting Flynn off the hook for his admitted crimes .
‘ President Trump today has the unreviewable authority to issue a pardon , thus ensuring that Flynn is no longer prosecuted and never punished for his crimes because he is a friend and political ally .
But the instant the Executive Branch filed a criminal charge against Flynn , it forfeited the right to implicate this Court in the dismissal of that charge simply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ally of the President.
’ The final decision for what to do with the Flynn case does not entirely rest with Judge Sullivan , it seems .
A D.C. federal appeals court is slated to soon hear arguments in a case that Flynn ’ s attorneys have brought trying to compel Judge Sullivan to go ahead and drop the case .

In one of the final major legal battles connected to criminal charges against allies of President Donald Trump in connection to the Russia investigation, one former federal judge has now handed down a harsh condemnation of the Trump team’s behavior. The Justice Department abruptly filed a motion to drop the government’s case against former Trump administration official Michael Flynn, who’d previously pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators. Now, in a new court filing, former federal judge John Gleeson counters that the Justice Department’s abandonment of the case against Flynn is brazenly “corrupt.” No facts changed in between the charges against Flynn and Attorney General Bill Barr’s team’s decision to drop the case; the Trump team simply concluded that the Flynn case was not worth pursuing.
Wow. Former Judge Gleeson does not mince words in his brief in the Michael Flynn case, calling DOJ's decision to drop charges "corrupt" and "highly irregular conduct to benefit a political ally of the President." https://t.co/3m9mRxsGH3 pic.twitter.com/TxEs3S1oMy — Neal Katyal (@neal_katyal) June 10, 2020
Gleeson was a federal judge in Manhattan until 2016, and before his time on the bench, he was a federal prosecutor who took on targets like the mob. POLITICO notes that he “was appointed last month by [Judge Emmet Sullivan] to help him tackle the highly unusual Justice Department request to drop the criminal case against Flynn despite the guilty plea he entered back in 2017 as part of a cooperation deal with special counsel Robert Mueller.”
In his new court filing, Gleeson recommended that the judge sentence Flynn despite the government’s motion to drop the proceedings. Gleeson called the government’s motion to drop Flynn’s case a “gross abuse of prosecutorial power,” adding in reference to the government’s claims about the supposed need to drop Flynn’s case:
‘Even recognizing that the Government is entitled to deference in assessing the strength of its case, these claims are not credible. Indeed, they are preposterous… The facts surrounding the filing of the Government’s motion constitute clear evidence of gross prosecutorial abuse. They reveal an unconvincing effort to disguise as legitimate a decision to dismiss that is based solely on the fact that Flynn is a political ally of President Trump.’
Many observers have frequently wondered whether the president would issue a pardon for Flynn.
In his filing, Gleeson acknowledged that a presidential pardon was a possibility — albeit an implicitly corrupt one — but he condemned the Trump team for trying to rope in the federal courts in letting Flynn off the hook for his admitted crimes.
As Gleeson put it:
‘President Trump today has the unreviewable authority to issue a pardon, thus ensuring that Flynn is no longer prosecuted and never punished for his crimes because he is a friend and political ally. But the instant the Executive Branch filed a criminal charge against Flynn, it forfeited the right to implicate this Court in the dismissal of that charge simply because Flynn is a friend and political ally of the President.’
The final decision for what to do with the Flynn case does not entirely rest with Judge Sullivan, it seems. A D.C. federal appeals court is slated to soon hear arguments in a case that Flynn’s attorneys have brought trying to compel Judge Sullivan to go ahead and drop the case.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-10--1,250 Former Justice Department Officials Band Together Against Bill Barr

Attorney General Bill Barr is not exactly earning many supporters during his time serving as a de facto political lackey for President Donald Trump .
In the wake of his apparent involvement in a violent attack on peaceful protesters outside the White House on June 1 , more than 1,250 former Justice Department employees have signed onto a letter asking the Justice Department ’ s inspector general Michael Horowitz to investigate the situation .
The Trump administration has already proven that they ’ re sensitive to these investigations — after the State Department ’ s inspector general ( Steve Linick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mike Pompeo , Trump fired him .
In their letter , which was put together by the nonprofit political advocacy group Protect Democracy , the over 1,250 former Justice Department employees wrote that they were “ deeply concerned about the Department ’ s actions , and those of Attorney General William Barr himself , in response to the nationwide lawful gatherings to protest the systemic racism that has plagued this country throughout its history.
” Video from the most controversial scene on June 1 immediately went viral ; authorities can be seen deploying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that , for the most part , was peaceful and had not provoked officers in the slightest .
In an apparent gross abuse of power , Trump held a photo op at a local church right after peaceful protesters were violently cleared from the area .
Thus , the former Justice employees added , they want Horowitz to “ immediately open and conduct an investigation of the full scope of the Attorney General ’ s and the DOJ ’ s role ” in the attacks on peaceful protesters , because the “ rule @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Department ’ s integrity , and the very safety of our citizens demand nothing less.
” Barr ’ s own explanations for the situation have been dubious at best .
He ’ s claimed , for instance , that the decision to extend the “ security perimeter ” around the White House had actually been decided upon the day before the June 1 incident — and he ’ s also claimed that the June 1 crowd was “ unruly , ” as The Washington Post puts it .
In reality , as video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crowd was , by and large , simply peacefully protesting when officers , who Barr has acknowledged directing , attacked .
The June 1 incident in which the peaceful protesters were attacked is not alone among incidents in which the Trump administration ’ s response to protests has been criticized .
The Trump team deployed a dizzying array of law enforcement personnel within D.C. , some of whom were not even wearing anything that would identify what agency they were with and who refused to identify themselves when asked .
In other words @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deployed a de facto secret police into the streets of the U.S .

Breaking via WaPo: More than 1,250 former Justice Department workers are calling on the DOJ internal watchdog to investigate A.G. Barr's involvement in law enforcement's move to push peaceful demonstrators back from Lafayette Square using horses and gas. https://t.co/bJPqfiQsS4 — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) June 10, 2020
In their letter, which was put together by the nonprofit political advocacy group Protect Democracy, the over 1,250 former Justice Department employees wrote that they were “deeply concerned about the Department’s actions, and those of Attorney General William Barr himself, in response to the nationwide lawful gatherings to protest the systemic racism that has plagued this country throughout its history.” Video from the most controversial scene on June 1 immediately went viral; authorities can be seen deploying chemicals and other force against a group that, for the most part, was peaceful and had not provoked officers in the slightest.
The former Justice Department employees added:
‘In particular, we are disturbed by Attorney General Barr’s possible role in ordering law enforcement personnel to suppress a peaceful domestic protest in Lafayette Square on June 1, 2020, for the purpose of enabling President Trump to walk across the street from the White House and stage a photo op at St. John’s Church, a politically motivated event in which Attorney General Barr participated.’
In an apparent gross abuse of power, Trump held a photo op at a local church right after peaceful protesters were violently cleared from the area. Thus, the former Justice employees added, they want Horowitz to “immediately open and conduct an investigation of the full scope of the Attorney General’s and the DOJ’s role” in the attacks on peaceful protesters, because the “rule of law, the maintenance of the Department’s integrity, and the very safety of our citizens demand nothing less.”
Barr’s own explanations for the situation have been dubious at best. He’s claimed, for instance, that the decision to extend the “security perimeter” around the White House had actually been decided upon the day before the June 1 incident — and he’s also claimed that the June 1 crowd was “unruly,” as The Washington Post puts it. In reality, as video from the scene makes clear, the crowd was, by and large, simply peacefully protesting when officers, who Barr has acknowledged directing, attacked.
The June 1 incident in which the peaceful protesters were attacked is not alone among incidents in which the Trump administration’s response to protests has been criticized. The Trump team deployed a dizzying array of law enforcement personnel within D.C., some of whom were not even wearing anything that would identify what agency they were with and who refused to identify themselves when asked. In other words, the Trump team looks like they deployed a de facto secret police into the streets of the U.S.

Yet, those factors have remained consistent. So what changed? Why did his job performance numbers among his base drop so far? Trump let tens of thousands of people needlessly die during the coronavirus pandemic through his negligence. Under his watch, the economy bottomed out, and 40 million people lost their jobs. The polls showed:
‘President Donald Trump’s current 39% job approval rating is down from 49% in the prior poll and the lowest since October 2018.’
Trump’s rating was down “among all party groups.” However, when it came to “handling issues,” his numbers dropped “sharply.”
According to Gallop:
‘President Donald Trump’s job approval rating has fallen to 39% amid nationwide protests about racial injustice. His ratings this year had been the best of his presidency but are now back near his term average of 40%.’
This Gallop Poll was conducted from May 28 through June 4, 2020 when the peaceful protests were ongoing. A black man from Minneapolis MN George Floyd was killed by police on May 25. The policeman knelt on his neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds.
The president sent US military troops to violently clear the park and adjoining streets of peaceful protesters. The troops shot rubber bullets and pepper balls which are considered chemical agents. They targeted members of the media and beat a cameraman with a baton. The victim was Australian, and naturally, the incident appeared on television in the heart of one of America’s strongest allies.

Trump’s job approval rating plummeted similarly regardless of party lines. Republicans dropped him seven points down to 85 percent, Independents down to 39 percent, and Democrats down nine points to five percent:

President Donald Trump is apparently not a fan of the programming choices that Fox News made this Wednesday morning. Apparently, he was watching their broadcast of a Congressional hearing unfolding early Wednesday that was slated to focus on police brutality in the United States. After Fox apparently cut away from the hearing, Trump rushed to Twitter to voice his complaints and insisted that Fox is becoming “More like CNN!!!” Wouldn’t it be great to have a president who didn’t ignore national crises so he could sit around and rage-tweet about cable news?
He posted:

Incredible! @FoxNews just took Congressional Hearing off the air just prior to important witness statements. More like CNN!!! Fox is lost!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 10, 2020
Just watch the hearing on C-SPAN, Mr. President. There’s no great national crisis because Fox stopped carrying the program that you were watching. Every single day, Trump puts absolutely mind-bogglingly self-centered pettiness on clear display.
Before his raging about Fox’s coverage choices, he’d also praised Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan for having spoken out against progressive pushes to “defund the police.” In city after city across the United States, local police departments enjoy huge portions of local budgets, while other community support services suffer. Rather than engaging with that problem, Trump has opted to conspiratorially suggest that Democrats are plotting to make America less safe, or something.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-10--Justice Department Officially Rebukes Trump’s ANTIFA” Conspiracy Theory

President Donald Trump and his allies have consistently claimed that “ Antifa ” has been instigating unrest around the United States amidst nationwide protests against police brutality .
In fact , “ Antifa ” is not even a centralized organization , and those who trumpet its supposed dangers should not be taken seriously .
NPR reports this week that the Justice Department has not yet identified any sort of connection to “ Antifa ” in a single one of the 51 individuals ’ cases who ’ ve faced federal charges in connection to the nationwide unrest .
Many of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of which relate to the targeting of government property like police cars .
Antifa simply means “ anti-fascist.
” Technically , U.S. soldiers who fought in World War II against the regimes of Nazi Germany and fascist Italy were antifa .
There is no centralized “ Antifa ” organization , no matter how much self-righteously ignorant fearmongering that the president and his allies like Attorney General Bill Barr indulge in .
There is an actual threat from other sources , though — three of the 51 individuals whose cases that NPR reviewed are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seeking to incite a new civil war in the United States .
Maybe Bill Barr should worry about that instead of the imaginary bogeyman of Antifa ?
During an interview with Fox News that broadcast on Monday , Barr said : None of that means anything .
Barr claims that the Justice Department has “ some investigations underway ” — what kind of investigations ?
Are Justice Department employees conducting Google searches for “ Antifa ” to see what comes up ?
Are they hiding out in coffee shops to see if they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Besides , former federal prosecutors noted to NPR that “ if the government had indications that an individual had ties to or documented interest in a particular extremist movement , they would likely include it in charging documents to cite it during a bail hearing ” — and yet , not a single charging document has so far cited a single link to “ Antifa.
” The government , by all appearances , has got nothing .
That hasn ’ t slowed down the Trump team ’ s confidence that some oh-so-scary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get them .
This week , President Donald Trump himself tweeted the brazenly ludicrous conspiracy theory that an elderly man who was violently assaulted by police in Buffalo , New York , may be a secret Antifa agitator .
There is no evidence for this claim .
The president has no idea what he is talking about , although that definitely has not stopped figures like White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany from rushing to the president ’ s defense anyway , even as evidence stands in clear contrast to the president @ @ @ @

President Donald Trump and his allies have consistently claimed that “Antifa” has been instigating unrest around the United States amidst nationwide protests against police brutality. In fact, “Antifa” is not even a centralized organization, and those who trumpet its supposed dangers should not be taken seriously. NPR reports this week that the Justice Department has not yet identified any sort of connection to “Antifa” in a single one of the 51 individuals’ cases who’ve faced federal charges in connection to the nationwide unrest. Many of the individuals face charges over arson, many of which relate to the targeting of government property like police cars.
NPR has reviewed court documents of 51 individuals facing federal charges in connection with the unrest. As of Tuesday morning, none is alleged to have links to the antifa movement. https://t.co/TN9p39uu7a — Adam Goldman (@adamgoldmanNYT) June 10, 2020
NPR reports:
‘NPR has reviewed court documents of 51 individuals facing federal charges in connection with the unrest. As of Tuesday morning, none is alleged to have links to the antifa movement.’
Antifa simply means “anti-fascist.” Technically, U.S. soldiers who fought in World War II against the regimes of Nazi Germany and fascist Italy were antifa. There is no centralized “Antifa” organization, no matter how much self-righteously ignorant fearmongering that the president and his allies like Attorney General Bill Barr indulge in. There is an actual threat from other sources, though — three of the 51 individuals whose cases that NPR reviewed are part of a far-right organization that is seeking to incite a new civil war in the United States. Maybe Bill Barr should worry about that instead of the imaginary bogeyman of Antifa?
Why can't Bill Barr say "White supremacist groups" the way he says "Antifa"? — Jonathan Capehart (@CapehartJ) June 4, 2020
During an interview with Fox News that broadcast on Monday, Barr said:
‘We have some investigations underway, very focused investigations on certain individuals that relate to antifa. But in the initial phase of identifying people and arresting them, they were arrested for crimes that don’t require us to identify a particular group or don’t necessitate that.’
None of that means anything. Barr claims that the Justice Department has “some investigations underway” — what kind of investigations? Are Justice Department employees conducting Google searches for “Antifa” to see what comes up? Are they hiding out in coffee shops to see if they overhear anyone talking about “Antifa”?
Barr is violating DOJ policy when he says ongoing investigations of violence involve Antifa. Publicly filed charges name only right-wing “Boogaloo” movement. All violence is harmful, but Barr creates appearance of advancing Trump’s political agenda. https://t.co/eOkWJP8cnZ — Barb McQuade (@BarbMcQuade) June 10, 2020

President Trump is now accusing Martin Gugino, the 75 year old white man pushed to the ground by police in Buffalo, NY, of faking his fall and being a member of ANTIFA. Gugino is a member of two nonprofits and part of the Catholic Worker Movement.https://t.co/73pKnFcTBv https://t.co/CBpvAp1aP7 — Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) June 9, 2020
That hasn’t slowed down the Trump team’s confidence that some oh-so-scary secret “Antifa” force is out to get them. This week, President Donald Trump himself tweeted the brazenly ludicrous conspiracy theory that an elderly man who was violently assaulted by police in Buffalo, New York, may be a secret Antifa agitator. There is no evidence for this claim. The president has no idea what he is talking about, although that definitely has not stopped figures like White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany from rushing to the president’s defense anyway, even as evidence stands in clear contrast to the president’s nonsense.
To Mr. Gugino, we’re praying for a speedy recovery for you and your family. Pres. Trump should go back to hiding in the bunker instead of tweeting baseless conspiracies about peaceful protestors and further dividing America. What are Senate Republicans going to do about this? https://t.co/fjUNpGrEol — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) June 9, 2020

Jorge Mario Bergoglio was named Person of the Year by The Time Magazine in 2013. He studied in the tough Jesuit school before teaching literature and psychology at the university level. This man is a scientist and earned a Masters’s degree in Chemistry.
The Forbes Magazine Senior Editor and Science Writer, Alex Knapp, said this about the man, according to Time magazine:
‘Being a scientist means that you have to embrace the fact that you don’t know everything. That you need to be constantly searching for the truth.’
His Italian immigrant mother did not like his career choice, but she changed her mind. He is Pope Francis now. The Pope called George Floyd by his name — twice. He knelt in prayer during a Black Lives Matter protest.
George Floyd died when a white policeman pressed his knee into the black man’s neck, casually putting his hand into his own pocket — for eight minutes and 46 seconds. That officer knew he was being taped and arrogantly stared right back into the camera as Floyd begged for his life and then called for his mother. This killer knew that the police in Minneapolis, MN had not suffered any consequences.
The Holy See “encouraged anti-racism protesters while making a clear statement about where American Catholics should stand ahead of President Donald Trump’s bid for a second term in November.”
Both the murdered man and the Pope had the same first name chosen when they were born: George or Jorge in Spanish and Portugese. The Vatican sent a clear message to the conservative Catholics who are “pro-Trumpers.” Presidential Visiting Fellow at Yale Divinity. School Anthea Butler said:
‘Listen, this is just as much of an issue as abortion is.’
The black woman continued, saying that the Vatican has been sending Catholics around the world a message:
‘[P]ay attention to the racism that is happening and the racism that is in your own church in America.’
Since Pope Paul VI, the Vatican has supported
‘[R]acial injustice, and…have voiced support for the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of nonviolent protest. History’s first pope from the global south is no different. He quoted King at length during his historic speech to the U.S. Congress in 2015 and met with King’s daughter, as his predecessor had done.’
However, Pope Francis and the Vatican drawing close to George Floyd’s killing was unusual. It may be that the Vatican has a strategy against “political and ideological partisanship.” Church Historian and Secretary of the John XXIII Foundation for Religious Studies Alberto Meloni said:
‘It’s not like seven people had the same type of reaction.’
Just last week, Pope Francis denounced the “sin of racism.” He mentioned Floyd’s name twice and associated it with a “tragic” killing. He said he was worried about violence during the American protests:
‘We cannot close our eyes to any form of racism or exclusion, while pretending to defend the sacredness of every human life.’
The Pope was calling out the conservative Catholics who considered the abortion above all else. Pope Francis endorses mens’ and women’s lives:
‘[R]acism, immigration, the death penalty and poverty.’
He regretted that these went out the window at the ballot box. While the Pope stands fully behind “significant restrictions on legal abortion,” he noted that American Catholic Churches have been “obsessed” with abortion, contraception, and gay marriage to the detriment of its other teachings.”
Pope Francis noted that Donald Trump has been enrolling Catholic voters primarily with his “anti-abortion platform.”
After Trump’s photo op in front of the so-called “President’s Church,” which is across from the White House. POTUS stood before the Episcopal Church blasphemously holding a Bible upside-down. At the same time, his “military” shot rubber bullets and pepper ball chemicals into the gathering of peaceful protesters. The military shoved people to the ground and beat an Australian cameraman with a baton.
The next day, Trump and First Lady Melania Trump went to the St. John Paul II Shrine. The highest-ranking black prelate in the US Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Washington DC said:
‘[I found it] baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated.’
The Pope called Texas Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso last week, about his leadership:
‘His leading role in demanding fair treatment for migrants attempting to cross the southern U.S. border, a cause Francis has championed in ways that have fueled tensions with Trump.’
Pope Francis called Seitz unexpectedly after the Pope saw him kneeling in prayer at a Black Lives Matter protest. According to Seitz, the Pope thanked him:
‘My recent words and actions on the events that are taking place in the country now.’
The Vatican was well-aware of American police as they shoved a white 75-year-old peaceful protester Martin Guigin to the ground sending him to the hospital. It was caught on video, and the Vatican urged:
‘Go watch it, please.’
The highest-ranking American at the Vatican, Cardinal Kevin Farrell condemned how America was “failing its black citizens:”
‘[I have] spoken to Francis in the past about America’s race problems, which he saw up close as an auxiliary bishop in Washington. Farrell said Francis is well versed in King and American history. Francis “knows what the principle was and he knows what the struggle was,”‘
Professor of religious studies at Manhattan College Natalia Imperatori-Lee said Pope Francis was impacting American Catholics:
‘We are starting to see a kind of fissure emerge. Whether that’s going to be long-lasting or whether it is a sign of a paradigm shift, I think it’s too early to tell. I guess we’ll know if this works when Catholics go to the polls in November.’
The nonprofit Public Religion Research Institute’s poll last week showed white Catholics holding favorable views of Trump had dropped by double digits in a year. Last week 37 percent of them did so in May after 49 percent did throughout 2019.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-10--Kayleigh McEnany Caught Mocking Elderly Protestor Shoved By Police

This week , President Donald Trump posted the brazenly absurd conspiracy theory on Twitter that an elderly man who was assaulted by police in Buffalo , New York , may be a secret Antifa agitator .
There ’ s apparently little , if anything , that White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany wouldn ’ t back the president up on , because during a subsequent appearance on Fox & Friends , she passionately defended the president ’ s absolutely ludicrous conspiracy theory .

” To be clear : there is no evidence for Trump ’ s claim that the elderly victim , 75-year-old Martin Gugino , may have staged his injuries .
Gugino was hospitalized with a serious head injury after two police officers shoved him to the ground while he was just peacefully walking in their general direction .
Those two officers have been charged with felony assault .

Despite the broad criticism of his threats to demand that troops attack peaceful protesters around the country, Trump has stood by his perspective. On Thursday, he made one of the threats again, insisting that if Washington authorities didn’t “take back” Seattle from the peaceful protesters who’ve been occupying some blocks of the Capitol Hill neighborhood, he would step in to “take back” the city with the federal government’s forces. It’s unclear what authority that he could or would actually use to deploy federal forces into the streets of Seattle, but what is clear is that the president apparently has no problem with threatening American citizens with violence.

Trump has faced a lot of criticism for his handling of the recent anti-police brutality protests that have sprung up across the United States. After authorities attacked peaceful protesters outside the White House shortly before the president held a photo op in the area, retired General James Mattis — who served as a Defense Secretary in the Trump administration — characterized Trump as a threat to the Constitution.


bipartisanreport--2020-06-11--Obama Returns With Thursday Message To America’s Youth

Remember when the worst act a president could commit was wearing a tan suit ?
President Barack Obama walked into the White House Briefing Room six years ago , wearing his tan suit and looking like a million dollars .
People would have thought that he murdered someone , the Republican outrage was so great .
They said by wearing a tan suit , President Obama displayed a lack of seriousness .
What do they think of Donald Trump in his white golfing uniform ?
Just asking .
The cable shows put together round-table to discuss this terrible event .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the situation along with the image consultants .
Reporters went mobile and did man-on-the-street interviews to see what the average American thought about a president daring to wear something so risque , something other than navy blue , black , or charcoal gray suit behind the Oval Office Resolute desk .
Those were the good old days .
Yet , in spite of the exhausting , continual upheaval generating from the tornado of rage and greed in this Oval Office , there is hope on the horizon .
His name is Barack Obama @ @ @ @ @ @ @ point to “ this young generation ” causing him to be “ optimistic about our future.
” He is right Most of the people marching peacefully for change are young .
The country has left them bereft of a good job , a home away from their parents , and college beyond financial reach .
Still , the last president looked into their eyes and saw great cause for a better tomorrow .
President Barack Obama marveled that the young people in Columbia , MD “ connect across boundaries , amplify voices , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This president pointed to a “ group of Nashville teens ” as they led the nation forward : One of President Obama ’ s great skills has always been the ability to inspire hope in America and in Americans .
He looked at these young Americans and urged them to “ step up and become leaders.
” Perhaps , every age of Americans could follow their lead : Then , the 44th president took action himself .
In a pinned tweet , he “ pulled together some resources ” to help “ sustain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ energy into concrete action.
” Thanks , Obama : Twitter world drank in Obama ’ s words like someone crossing the desert and finding that mirage of water was real .
Check out these responses .
You are missed , Obama !

President Barack Obama walked into the White House Briefing Room six years ago, wearing his tan suit and looking like a million dollars. People would have thought that he murdered someone, the Republican outrage was so great.
They said by wearing a tan suit, President Obama displayed a lack of seriousness. What do they think of Donald Trump in his white golfing uniform? Just asking. The cable shows put together round-table to discuss this terrible event. Then, the fashion police weighed into the situation along with the image consultants.
Reporters went mobile and did man-on-the-street interviews to see what the average American thought about a president daring to wear something so risque, something other than navy blue, black, or charcoal gray suit behind the Oval Office Resolute desk. Those were the good old days.
Yet, in spite of the exhausting, continual upheaval generating from the tornado of rage and greed in this Oval Office, there is hope on the horizon. His name is Barack Obama:
‘This young generation makes me optimistic about our future. By protesting, they’re speaking up and shining a light on injustice––and one way we can support them is to vote for people who’ll change the laws on every level.’
Not only did the 44th president point to “this young generation” causing him to be “optimistic about our future.” He is right Most of the people marching peacefully for change are young. The country has left them bereft of a good job, a home away from their parents, and college beyond financial reach. Still, the last president looked into their eyes and saw great cause for a better tomorrow.
President Barack Obama marveled that the young people in Columbia, MD “connect across boundaries, amplify voices, and enact some real change:”
‘In Columbia, Maryland, young people wielded social media to connect across boundaries, amplify voices, and enact some real change.’
This president pointed to a “group of Nashville teens” as they led the nation forward:
‘This group of Nashville teens led a peaceful march with tens of thousands of people in their community.’
One of President Obama’s great skills has always been the ability to inspire hope in America and in Americans. He looked at these young Americans and urged them to “step up and become leaders.” Perhaps, every age of Americans could follow their lead:
‘Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen young people in every corner of the country step up and become leaders. Through organization and mobilization, they’re showing us how we can sustain this momentum to bring about real change.’
Then, the 44th president took action himself. In a pinned tweet, he “pulled together some resources” to help “sustain the momentum” and channel “their energy into concrete action.” Thanks, Obama:
‘I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action.’
Twitter world drank in Obama’s words like someone crossing the desert and finding that mirage of water was real. Check out these responses. You are missed, Obama!

bipartisanreport--2020-06-11--Trump Uses Racial Slur During Multi-Subject Afternoon Rant

Amidst nationwide protests against police brutality , some demonstrators in Seattle have set up what they ’ re calling an “ autonomous zone , ” where there are no police and instead , members of the community itself orchestrate what ’ s going on .
The scene has been peaceful as activists have demanded that policing resources get used for community support instead of state-sponsored police harassment of disadvantaged people .
President Donald Trump has responded to the peaceful stand-off by rushing to Twitter to act as though the “ autonomous zone ” heralds some kind of apocalypse .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ afternoon , he ranted about the “ ugly Anarchists ” who “ just took over Seattle ” and seemingly threatened to send in troops .
The “ autonomous zone ” doesn ’ t even encompass anywhere near the entire city .
It ’ s just a protest within the Capitol Hill neighborhood , at least as of a recent report about the situation .
Nevertheless , Trump has turned his long-established frenzied paranoia against the protesters in Seattle , who seem to be insulting his egomaniacal vision of brutally militarized American “ greatness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

This is not a game .

He sounds ridiculously self-deluded and entirely disconnected from the actual reality of the situation — which , again , is peaceful , rather than some kind of hostile “ takeover ” like Trump insists .
He also complained about a push in Congress to rename military bases that currently feature names of Confederate generals .

Before protesters and police in Seattle reached a treaty, POTUS told the mayor if she did not get her city under control, he would do it for her. That did not go over well.
Apparently, Trump did not want to see any violence that he did not create himself. Maybe he was jealous of the attention Seattle was getting. He called the American protesters “domestic Terrorists,” saying that they had taken Seattle. CNN reported that the president of these United States called them “anarchists [who] must be stooped [sic].” It appears that he did not want any latchkey kids hanging out on their stoops:

Trump did not understand what his claim meant. He said he was the “LAW & ORDER” president. From his actions violently turning the military on peaceful protesters, he really meant he was the “Terrorizing Control & Cruel Punishment” president. Shortly after the last tweet, he followed up with another one. He certainly does like the word “terrorists:”
‘Domestic Terrorists have taken over Seattle, run by Radical Left Democrats, of course. LAW & ORDER!’
Mayor Durkan’s responded with a tweet of her own, inferring the president was a coward by referring to Trump hunkering in the White House bunker as peaceful protesters exercising their right to free assembly in a park where others before them had stood for change for centuries. She tweeted:
‘Make us all safe. Go back to your bunker. #BlackLivesMatter’
Then, Washington Governor Jay Inslee tweeted:
‘A man who is totally incapable of governing should stay out of Washington state’s business. ‘Stop’ tweeting.’
There was an abundance of free food, free speech, and freedom from the Seattle police on Seattle’s Capitol Hill. Protesters were in a vacated precinct and several surrounding blocks recently dubbed the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.” A banner on the front door of the vacated police station read “This space is now property of the Seattle people.”
After a week with the police and protesters in a nightly standoff, tear gas floated in the evening hours. These protests began after the slow-motion murder of a black Minneapolis MN man, George Floyd, by a police officer. It was captured on video in shocking, distressing detail by a courageous 17-year-old young woman. The police officer had his hand casually in his pocket, his knee on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds, staring at her with dead eyes.
‘Hundreds of protesters marched into Seattle’s City Hall late Tuesday, calling for Durkan to step down after police continued to use chemical irritants to disperse crowds — despite the mayor’s 30-day ban on tear gas that she announced Friday.’
The police negotiated with the Seattle protesters offering to abandon their precinct, board the place up, and hand it over to them. This area is the city’s art and culture district. One of the problems has been encroaching gentrification threatening to raise the value of the neighborhoods beyond the reach of the original residents.
The protesters consider the area a “homeland for racial justice” and, perhaps, more. This was an experiment in “life without police” as CNN reported:
‘[P]art street festival, part commune. Hundreds have gathered to hear speeches, poetry and music. On Tuesday night, dozens of people sat in the middle of an intersection to watch “13th,” the Ava DuVernay film about the criminal justice system’s impact on African-Americans…children made chalk drawings in the middle of the street.’
There were designated smoking areas, a medic state, and a new name, the “No Cop Co-Op.” One block had a designated smoking area. Another had a medic station. At the “No Cop Coop”. Fire Chief Harold Scoggins chatted with the protesters, mediated the negotiations with the police department, and provided “portable toilets and sanitation services.” He said:
‘I have no idea where we’re headed. We’ve been working step by step on how to build a relationship, build trust in small things, so we can figure this out together.’
Durkan’s office released a statement to KOMO late Tuesday. It read:
‘As the person who originally investigated the Seattle Police Department for the unconstitutional use of force, Mayor Durkan believes that SPD can lead the nation on continued reforms and accountability, but knows this week has eroded trust at a time when trust is most crucial.’
Contrary to conspiracy rumors floating out of the White House, this occupied area had no indication it was under the control of “left-wing activist groups under the umbrella of Antifa.” Spokesperson for Durkan Lori Patrick spoke to CNN Wednesday:
‘City officials have not interacted with ‘armed Antifa militants’ at this site, but will continue to be on site to monitor the situation closely.’
