bipartisanreport--2020-01-01--EPA Scientists Break Ranks, Speak Out Against Trump Admin Dangers

Although it could be easy to miss some of the more lasting dangers posed by the Trump administration ’ s behavior thanks to their incessant sheer chaos — those dangers remain .
Now , a striking new statement has emerged from a politically independent board of science advisers for the Environmental Protection Administration ( EPA ) , who are criticizing the agency ’ s effort to drastically reduce its official estimates of the benefit from restraining mercury , which is in pollution from power plants .
The dramatically changed cost-benefit analysis , which sharply lowers the official benefit from previously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for undoing the power plant pollution regulation altogether .
Previously , official figures placed the benefit of the EPA ’ s Mercury and Air Toxics Standards ( MATS ) rule at between $ 37 billion and $ 90 billion in savings , which included the boosts to public health .
The Trump administration ’ s latest proposal for the regulation brings that figure all the way down to between just $ 4 and $ 6 million , and how much longer could the rule last if the administration hacks its officially tallied benefits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Science Advisory Board ( SAB ) says that their recommendations simply “ do not seem to have been taken into consideration in the published analysis.
” In other words , their apparent warnings about the importance of tallying figures like public health benefits seem to have been completely ignored .
An EPA spokesperson dismissed the concern , which was also expressed recently by economists , sharing instead : ‘ EPA always appreciates and respects the work and advice of the SAB .
The reports they posted are a draft and will be discussed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and reports may potentially be revised by the SAB members as they strive for a consensus on these documents .
The final commentary and reports will be developed soon after the public meeting and then sent to the administrator.
’ And will EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler actually take the board ’ s complaints into consideration ?
Considering his past lobbying work for the exact same coal and energy interests meant to be restrained by the mercury-related regulation , some kind of burst of advocacy from the Trump appointee does not seem likely .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ appointees at the EPA even grossly underestimated the dangers of exposure to mercury .
The Trump appointees at the EPA have already proven their attachment to corporate interests .
For example , they have refused to ban the pesticide chlorpyrifos , no matter its documented link to serious neurological issues in children .
As for Wheeler himself , he was almost immediately put under internal investigation for his lobbying links when he first was confirmed as agency administrator , and although he ’ s not been quite as brazenly egregious as his personal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of rollbacks of important environmental regulations has not let up .
Recently , they have continued the process of cancelling the Obama-era Waters of the United States , or WOTUS rule , which expanded the waterways that were subject to federal regulation .
Heading into 2020 , these developments fit into a clear pattern of the Trump administration serving wealthy interests , like those who got major benefits from the tax plan Trump signed into law in 2017 that ’ s done little besides balloon the deficit .

Recently, they have continued the process of cancelling the Obama-era Waters of the United States, or WOTUS rule, which expanded the waterways that were subject to federal regulation.
Heading into 2020, these developments fit into a clear pattern of the Trump administration serving wealthy interests, like those who got major benefits from the tax plan Trump signed into law in 2017 that’s done little besides balloon the deficit.

The Republicans in the Senate and the House have abdicated so many basic parts of Congress: War, the Budget, and now they appeared to be trying for Oversight.

As Republican Senators can’t decide whether or not to allow witnesses and documents, Adam Schiff tells them that Trump is pushing Russian propaganda. #ImpeachmentTrial pic.twitter.com/leZgCvjAHk — Sarah Reese Jones (@PoliticusSarah) January 30, 2020
On the Senate floor, House Intelligence Committee Chair and impeachment head Adam Schiff (D-CA) said that this was a “descent into Constitutional madness.” The GOP gave the president “whatever he wants,” including an “illicit foreign election.”
The California representative said:
‘If Secretary Pompeo was correct and you can’t use your own intelligence agencies, you sure shouldn’t be able to use the Russian ones or the Ukrainian ones. And here, you know, we have the president on that phone call pushing out this Russian propaganda.’
Schiff continued:
‘This Russian intelligence service propaganda, Crowdstrike. The server. As if there was just one server and it was whisked away to Ukraine. The Ukrainians hacked the server, not Russians. Made for you in the Kremlin conspiracy theory that undermines our own intelligence agencies but suit the political interests of the president and his legal agent Rudy Giuliani is out there peddling this fiction.

It would be a monumental abuse of power and it is a monumental abuse of power.’
The Russians have not been whiling away their time. No, a Russian “propaganda machine” just chose Kansas City for its second radio broadcast site this month, according to KCUR. A Radio Sputnik spokesperson to the local NPR station noted the other location was already in Washington, D.C. and has been on air since 2017. This organization, Rossiya Segodnya, emailed:
‘We’d love to broadcast in all major U.S. markets. But unfortunately, U.S. authorities are working really hard to prevent us from doing so.’
Another radio station based in the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan area signed a three-year deal to broadcast Radio Sputnik’s English-language program across Kansas City, hitting two states at once, Kansas and Missouri:
‘Commuters interested in conspiracy theories about George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and the Republican National Committee have a new option, courtesy of the Russian government.’
It is produced by Putin and was designed in 2013 to promote Russian interests abroad. The company has been represented by an agent turned Florida businessman, Arnold Ferolito:
‘KCXL and Rossiya Segodnya, a Moscow-based organization that controls both Radio Sputnik and RT, a television news network formerly known as Russia Today. ‘The government pressed Ferolito and Sputnik to register under FARA after U.S. intelligence agencies investigated Russia’s role in the 2016 presidential election.

This Thursday , as President Donald Trump ’ s Senate impeachment trial continued , the House approved a pair of measures meant to restrain Trump ’ s military power following his abrupt airstrike that killed top Iranian General and political leader Qassem Soleimani .

The prohibition against using funds to strike Iran without Congressional authorization sported four Republican supporters, while eleven Republicans voted in favor of the AUMF repeal. Those in both groups even included some prominent Trump supporters like Florida’s Matt Gaetz and Kentucky’s Thomas Massie.
Gaetz commented:
‘The best time to vote against the Iraq War would have been in 2002. And the second-best time is today.’
His own previous vote in favor of a resolution meant to restrict the president’s power to unilaterally rush into war without Congressional approval drew apparent criticism from inside the White House. Gaetz reported that he’d heard that White House legislative affairs director Tom Ueland had used the vote as fodder in advocating against the Congressman’s inclusion on the president’s team of impeachment advisers from Congress.
Trump himself offered chaotic at best messaging about the House resolutions.
On Wednesday morning, he tweeted:

The two Thursday House votes were set up as votes on amendments to uncontroversial bills about commemorative coins, which was meant to restrict Republican abilities to derail the process, as they’ve shown themselves ready and willing to do in the past when something doesn’t exactly line up with their pro-Trump agenda.

bipartisanreport--2020-01-30--New Secret Trump Audio Tape Released During Impeachment Bombshell

Personal Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani ’ s former associate Lev Parnas insisted that he had more evidence where his previous drops came from , and he has delivered .
This Thursday , on the final day of the question-and-answer component of President Donald Trump ’ s ongoing impeachment trial , Parnas ( through his lawyer ) released a second tape that appears to show him interacting with the president , who ’ s claimed that he doesn ’ t know him .
Parnas was a key figure ( alongside Giuliani and fellow associate Igor Fruman ) in the quest to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political opponents , which sits at the core of the impeachment proceedings .
The latest audio is from an April 2018 fundraising dinner , the Daily Beast explains .
That dinner also featured then-Texas Congressman Pete Sessions , who actually ended up figuring into the federal campaign finance law violations case brought against Parnas and Fruman .
The duo illegally donated more than allowed to Sessions while pressuring him to help get Marie Yovanovitch fired , who was serving as U.S .
Ambassador to Ukraine and was baselessly supposed to stand in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Trump opponents .
The new , second audio clip comes after an initial release that actually featured Parnas and Trump discussing Yovanovitch .
Confronted with allegations that she was badmouthing him overseas , Trump railed to those in attendance to “ take her out.
” Eventually , Trump did fire her , and she has since become one of the most high-profile witnesses in the impeachment proceedings .
During the trial portion of those proceedings this week , Parnas — who has completely flipped against his former associates — stopped by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cruz completely wrongly alleged that he tried to enter the gallery of the trial itself and was ejected because of the electronic ankle bracelet that he was wearing — but that simply did not happen .
Parnas ’ s lawyer Joseph Bondy has been advocating for a full airing of the case against the president at his trial , which , if basic principles of fairness are followed , will include witnesses .
As he put it in a message directed to Iowa ’ s Joni Ernst ( among others directed at other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her own headlines recently with her brazen attempt to depict Republicans ’ support of Trump ’ s conspiracy theories about his opponents as meant to depress their electoral chances .
Biden ’ s spokesperson Andrew Bates pointed out the implications of her remarks .
He commented : By and large , Republicans have adamantly refused to break with Trump no matter the ample evidence against him that has continued to accumulate as his trial has continued .

More #FakeNewsTedCruz. We knew before we arrived in Washington DC that Lev would not be admitted to the Gallery. As a citizen, Lev proudly came, stood vigil asking to be called as a witness, and you falsely impugned him. For a POTUS who insulted your wife?

Parnas’s lawyer Joseph Bondy has been advocating for a full airing of the case against the president at his trial, which, if basic principles of fairness are followed, will include witnesses.
As he put it in a message directed to Iowa’s Joni Ernst (among others directed at other Republican Senators):
‘As the vote looms near, we urge you to choose America over party, and people over politics. Real trials have witnesses.’
Ernst has made her own headlines recently with her brazen attempt to depict Republicans’ support of Trump’s conspiracy theories about his opponents as meant to depress their electoral chances.
She told reporters:
‘Iowa caucuses are this next Monday evening. And I’m really interested to see how this discussion today informs and influences the Iowa caucus voters, those Democratic caucus goers. Will they be supporting VP Biden at this point?’
Biden’s spokesperson Andrew Bates pointed out the implications of her remarks. He commented:
‘Senator Ernst just said the quiet part out loud. Republicans are terrified that Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee.’
By and large, Republicans have adamantly refused to break with Trump no matter the ample evidence against him that has continued to accumulate as his trial has continued.

Over the weekend , Fox News unveiled an interview that he did with the network ’ s longtime host Sean Hannity , and in one of the widely circulating clips , Trump had a melodramatic meltdown over the supposed effect on his family and other , unspecified families from impeachment and other investigations into his amply documented , corrupt behavior .
Perhaps he should have thought of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bribe Ukraine into investigating the Bidens !

Trump ’ s attempt to self-righteously depict @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spectacularly and wholly flat .
In the same interview with Hannity , Trump also belittled former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg , of all people , who ’ s among the Democratic candidates for president .
Trump claimed that Bloomberg is trying to procure some kind of box to stand on at an upcoming debate because he ’ s short , but the Bloomberg campaign says that ’ s not true , which means that here ’ s another bizarre thing that the president has decided to lie about .

Nothing “happened” to this president. There was no secret deep state conspiracy taking shape in the early days of his presidential campaign, as he claims. Nope — there was just a wannabe despot attempting desperate power grabs that ended in epic fails with serious consequences for the national security of the United States. Trump’s attempt to self-righteously depict himself as some kind of martyr falls spectacularly and wholly flat.
In the same interview with Hannity, Trump also belittled former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg, of all people, who’s among the Democratic candidates for president. Trump claimed that Bloomberg is trying to procure some kind of box to stand on at an upcoming debate because he’s short, but the Bloomberg campaign says that’s not true, which means that here’s another bizarre thing that the president has decided to lie about.
Bloomberg campaign spokesperson Julie Wood memorably added:
‘The president is lying. He is a pathological liar who lies about everything: his fake hair, his obesity, and his spray-on tan.’
In polls pitting Bloomberg against Trump in a hypothetical general election match-up, the former mayor comes out an average of about five percent ahead, according to RealClearPolitics. Trump also loses to actually leading Democratic presidential primary candidates like Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren. The election season’s first votes will be tallied this Monday at the Iowa caucuses.


bipartisanreport--2020-02-02--New 2020 Election Poll Shows Disaster For Trump & A Big Blue Wave

The first votes of the 2020 presidential election season will officially get tallied this week when the Iowa caucuses unfold on Monday .
With just months to go ahead of the general election and a long list of Democratic presidential primary elections teed up for the meantime , a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll has found Trump losing to every leading Democratic presidential primary candidate .
Former Vice President Joe Biden has the largest leading margin , finishing with 50 percent of the support compared to Trump ’ s 44 percent , but Bernie Sanders , Elizabeth Warren , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump too — although by the end of the list , the margins were slim .
Sanders nabbed 49 percent of the support with 45 percent for Trump , Warren had 48 percent to Trump ’ s 45 percent , and Buttigieg had just 46 percent while Trump had 45 percent .
The leads for the top couple of candidates — meaning Biden and Sanders — hold when the pool of respondents is narrowed to only include 11 “ battleground states ” ranging from Florida to Wisconsin .
In those states , Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 49 percent of the support compared to 44 percent for Trump , and Sanders nabbed 49 percent of the support compared to 46 percent for Trump .
Warren and Buttigieg both lost to Trump by one percent margins — which are similar , it ’ s worth noting , to the thin real-world margins in some of those battleground states in the 2016 general election .
That year , Trump won Michigan by about ten thousand votes out of more than four million that were cast .
This time around , Trump might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ poignant side note that could help drive some of these outcomes against Trump , the same poll found that majorities of Americans believe that he ’ s guilty of exactly that which the House Democrats who impeached him have alleged .
The impeachment case included charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress , and 52 percent of respondents said that he ’ s guilty of the first and about the same portion — 53 percent — said that he ’ s guilty of the second charge .
Meanwhile , Trump is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mayor Mike Bloomberg , who ’ s among the candidates for president but lagging behind those frontrunners in the polls .
On Twitter over the weekend , Trump ranted : The Bloomberg campaign says this claim is false , which adds another notch to the president ’ s long list of bizarre lies — which he repeated in an interview with Sean Hannity airing this weekend .
‘ I just think of little .
You know , now he wants a box for the debates to stand on .
OK.
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You can be short .
Why should he get a box to stand on .
He wants a box for the debates .
Why should he be entitled ?
Does that mean everyone else gets a box ?

Sanders nabbed 49 percent of the support with 45 percent for Trump, Warren had 48 percent to Trump’s 45 percent, and Buttigieg had just 46 percent while Trump had 45 percent.
The leads for the top couple of candidates — meaning Biden and Sanders — hold when the pool of respondents is narrowed to only include 11 “battleground states” ranging from Florida to Wisconsin. In those states, Biden leads Trump by five percent, with 49 percent of the support compared to 44 percent for Trump, and Sanders nabbed 49 percent of the support compared to 46 percent for Trump. Warren and Buttigieg both lost to Trump by one percent margins — which are similar, it’s worth noting, to the thin real-world margins in some of those battleground states in the 2016 general election. That year, Trump won Michigan by about ten thousand votes out of more than four million that were cast.
This time around, Trump might not get so lucky. As a poignant side note that could help drive some of these outcomes against Trump, the same poll found that majorities of Americans believe that he’s guilty of exactly that which the House Democrats who impeached him have alleged. The impeachment case included charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, and 52 percent of respondents said that he’s guilty of the first and about the same portion — 53 percent — said that he’s guilty of the second charge.
Meanwhile, Trump is trailing off with anger at former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who’s among the candidates for president but lagging behind those frontrunners in the polls.
On Twitter over the weekend, Trump ranted:
‘Mini Mike is now negotiating both to get on the Democrat Primary debate stage, and to have the right to stand on boxes, or a lift, during the debates. This is sometimes done, but really not fair!’
Mini Mike is now negotiating both to get on the Democrat Primary debate stage, and to have the right to stand on boxes, or a lift, during the debates. This is sometimes done, but really not fair! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 2, 2020
The Bloomberg campaign says this claim is false, which adds another notch to the president’s long list of bizarre lies — which he repeated in an interview with Sean Hannity airing this weekend.
He told the host:
‘I just think of little. You know, now he wants a box for the debates to stand on. OK. It’s OK. There’s nothing wrong. You can be short. Why should he get a box to stand on. He wants a box for the debates. Why should he be entitled? Does that mean everyone else gets a box?’
What a bizarrely unhinged tirade.

Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg bought a Super Bowl ad for $10 million. So, Donald Trump went out and did the same thing. Nevermind that Bloomberg was just beginning to challenge him for the Billionaire Boys Club and leaving POTUS in the dust.
Bloomberg’s tweets showed how delighted he was keeping 45 up at night:
‘Looks like our ads are keeping you up at night. We’ve got one in particular you should watch today.’
This was the tweet that Bloomberg referenced in his tweet. Here Trump insulted the former mayor: ‘Many of the ads you are watching were paid for by Mini Mike Bloomberg. He is going nowhere, just wasting his money, but he is getting the DNC to rig the election against Crazy Bernie, something they wouldn’t do for @CoryBooker and others. They are doing it to Bernie again, in 2016:
Spokesperson for the Bloomberg campaign Julie Woods released a statement quoting the candidate, NBC reported:
‘The president is lying He is a pathological liar who lies about everything: his fake hair, his obesity, and his spray-on tan.’ Another wealthy 2020 presidential election candidate Andrew Yang told NBC News: ‘So, I’m not sure that this is a development that he’s going to welcome, frankly. I think the DNC looked at this and said, we need to get Bloomberg on the debate stage. This change is clearly tailor made to deliver him to the debate stage. ‘And the question is, whether this is a move that Mike’s excited about it or whether Mike’s indifferent to or even negative towards.’
Twitter world went bananas over the former mayor’s tweet. Check out what they had to say below:

Last week, Senate Republicans voted down a Democratic attempt to hear from witnesses at President Donald Trump’s ongoing Senate impeachment trial. Now, this weekend, in complete and willful ignorance of the evidence against Trump, prominent Trump ally and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has issued grand pronouncements about plans to go after the Obama administration. Barack Obama, of course, left office years ago, but in the face of the long presentations of evidence implicating the current president in Ukraine-related corruption and the chance for relevant fact-finding via witness testimony, Graham evidently prefers to investigate Obama.
Discussing the baselessly supposed Biden family corruption in Ukraine, Fox host Maria Bartiromo asked Graham:
‘You’re not going to give him a pass — how are you going to get to the bottom of it? Should we expect your committee to call to testify Hunter Biden, the whistleblower, Adam Schiff, all those names you’ve been talking about — is this gonna happen this upcoming week, then?’
Graham indicated in response that essentially, yes — he is plotting an investigation of the Bidens, Obama, and more, which would essentially carry the torch of the failed plot that Trump led to bribe Ukraine into launching that same kind of investigation. He wants to pick up where that revealed plot left off.
He told Bartiromo:
‘It’s gonna happen in the coming weeks. Jim Risch is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — Jim, if you’re watching this show, and I hope you are, we need to call the chief of staff who was told about the conflict of interest with Hunter Biden being on Burisma’s board early on… Let’s call these people in. Eventually we’ll get to Hunter Biden, and I want to know why the Obama administration did nothing about this obvious conflict of interest. Joe Biden should have given up the Ukraine portfolio, or Hunter Biden should have been taken off the board, because they ruined America’s ability to effectively deal with corruption in the Ukraine… That’s just a fact.’

Last week, Tennessee’s Republican Senator Lamar Alexander helped turn the tide against Democrats’ attempt to secure witness testimony for President Donald Trump’s Senate trial with his last-minute decision to oppose the proposal. This weekend on Meet the Press, he desperately tried to defend his decision to essentially fast track an acquittal for the president, no matter the evidence against him, and he went to some outrageous extremes in the process. He claimed that perhaps Trump did not know about the process to call his own administration’s attorney general to ask him to look into the (unfounded) claims of corruption that he tried to bribe Ukraine into investigation.
So now they’ve arrived at the idiocy defense. When host Chuck Todd pointed out that the Constitution itself was written largely with a fear of foreign interference in mind — check out the emoluments clause — Alexander flippantly replied:

This was the kind of — what the president should have done, if he was upset about Joe Biden and his son and what they were doing in Ukraine, he should have called the attorney general and told him that and let the attorney general handle it the way they always handle cases involving public figures.’
Trump, of course, did not call the attorney general — although he did say that Ukraine should get in touch with him. Instead, through a months-long pressure campaign that included an infamous phone conversation that he had with Ukraine’s current president, he got in touch with that country instead. This scheme, which sits at the core of the impeachment proceedings, wasn’t some off-the-cuff excursion — it was a calculated, at least months-long effort.
Todd asked the Senator, referring to the option of tasking U.S. authorities with looking into the issue:
‘And why do you think he didn’t do that?’
Alexander replied:
‘Maybe he didn’t know to do it… The bottom line is, it’s not an excuse, and he shouldn’t have done it, and I said he shouldn’t have done it, and now I think it’s up to the American people.’
Watch:

Well, Alexander and his fellow Republicans can defer to the American people all they want, but polls have already shown that majorities of Americans — even including majorities or near-majorities of Republicans — wanted to see witnesses at the impeachment trial, but Alexander voted that down. Thus, in reality, he’s not protecting some kind of grand public interest. He’s protecting Trump.
Alexander commented to Todd:

This weekend during an appearance on Fox News Sunday, President Donald Trump’s controversial impeachment defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz — whose past clients include O.J. Simpson and Jeffrey Epstein — attempted to defend himself against the criticism of some of the more outlandish commentary that he’s delivered during Trump’s trial. Although the tape of his remarks publicly aired and remains publicly available, Dershowitz tried to insist that actually, when he said the president couldn’t be impeached for helping his re-election campaign, he meant to offer some kind of grand deference to the law. But in reality, it’s all right there — Dershowitz claimed that Trump securing a political kickback for himself was a-okay, no matter whether he was trying to rope in just precedent or every word in the Constitution itself as justification for the scheme.
He told host Chris Wallace:
‘It matters if what the president did is illegal or wrong. But if the president did something completely lawful, the fact that part of his motivation may have been to help his election can not be the quid pro quo. That’s what I said. I never said, I don’t mean, and I don’t believe that the president can do anything if he thinks it’s in the national interest. I supported the impeachment of Richard Nixon!.. These folks have totally, deliberately distorted what I said… It was deliberately wrenched out of context.’
In the original scrutinized moment on the Senate floor, Dershowitz had said the following:
‘If a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.’
So now, he’s trying to justify that by insisting that actually, he simply meant to tie Trump’s supposed protection of the national interest to the law, and voila — it’s okay. Nope. Besides — the president did break the law, according to the federal government agency known as the Government Accountability Office! They concluded that the delay on Congressionally approved aid for Ukraine meant as leverage to get them to investigate the Bidens was illegal.
But Dershowitz went on to not just ignore the implications of his brazenly outlandish original argument. He also complained about the supposed negative effects on his personal reputation. Remember, this guy’s clients include O.J. Simpson and Jeffrey Epstein. And now, he’s complaining about his reputation! Irony is dead, apparently.
Dershowitz commented to Wallace:
‘It has hurt me. People think I actually believe a president like Nixon can do whatever he wants. It’s exactly the opposite!.. How dare they willfully and deliberately distort my position and then not give me an opportunity to respond!’

Then, the reader discovered a mysterious Hawaiian company that allegedly sent “a six-figure contribution” to a senator on nearly the other side of the world. According to the watchdog group, a company Society of Young Women Scientist and Engineers, LLC sprang into existence around Thanksgiving, just months ago and donated the money the last day of 2019.
The group wrote, according to The Daily Beast:
‘The available facts do not suggest that SYWSE conducted any business or had sufficient income from assets, investment earnings, business revenues, or bona fide capital investments to cover the $150,000 contribution to 1820 PAC at the time the contribution was made, without an infusion of funds provided to them for that purpose.’
The organization continued:

The company had no website, “little social media presence,” and just a Post Office Box in Honolulu. It was considered a “unit number in 1820’s FEC filings.” The lone officer was Jennifer Lam.
The Campaign Legal Center (CLC) filed a complaint with the FEC (Federal Election Commission) to investigate the issue. The 1880 PAC named itself the year Maine came into existence.
CLC’s director of federal and FEC reforms Brendan Fischer compared this scheme to another allegedly illegal contributor to Collins campaign, Global Energy Producers. That one was linked a separate Republican super PAC. This superPAC was tied to the pro-Trump organization America First Action and fell directly into the middle of Trump’s impeachment case. Two men ended up indicted in that case of flouting federal campaign finance laws
The main character is this drama has been the lawless president of these United States. Clever House Speaker Nancy Pelos used her childhood political home, raising five children, and her decades in the House as his top protagonist.
In this particular mystery, the wicked-appearing defense attorneys were skilled in the ability to take the facts and twist them into something that looked like cold gravy. The heroic prosecutor and valiant witnesses without whom there would have been no reckonning have been integral.

One affable presidential candidate turned around and showed his grumpier side.
Fromer Vice President Joe Biden had a serious case of grumpiness when he appeared with Today co-host Savannah Guthrie Monday morning. She asked about his surviving son Hunter Biden’s outrageously well-paying job on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas compay when the senior Biden was on the job.
Guthrie asked the former VP:
‘Has it occurred to you that there’s a certain irony here that, here the president is accused of, and has acknowledged, wanting to get information about your son Hunter and his dealings with Ukraine? And this process of impeachment has ensured that everyone knows about Hunter’s dealings with Ukraine.’
Biden might have been immune to this particular question, but he wa not. He started out well:
‘Thats a good thing! And no one has found anything wrong with his dealing with Ukraine, expect that they say that it set a “bad image.”’
Guthie continued, asking whether it “sets a bad image.” He responded positively. Then, Guthrie dug deeper and touched his last word. Biden shouted:
‘Well, that’s not true. You’re saying things that you do not know what you’re talking about! No one said that! Who said that?’
The Daily Wire wrote about Biden in December when an NPR journalist asked about Hunter’s position on the board of the gas company.
NPR’s Rachell Martin asked him about his son:
‘You know it didn’t look good for Hunter Biden to be on that board, even if he did nothing wrong,” NPR’s “Morning Edition. The optics weren’t good. And you talk a lot about what it means to be a Biden and the integrity that is imbued in that family name. But there were former White House aides of yours who tried to warn you about the potential conflicts of interest.’
Martin disagreed:
‘George Kent, the State Department official, testified that he raised.’
Biden said:
‘I never, never heard that once at all. Well, my son was dying, so I guess that’s why he said it, because my son was on his deathbed. But that, that’s not the reason why – they should have told me.’
Biden added:
‘And the fact of the matter is, my son testified and did an interview saying if he, looking back on it, made a mistake, he made a mistake although he did nothing wrong.
