bipartisanreport--2020-02-12--Trump Rally Crowd Size Revealed & Donald Is Humiliated Again

Donald Trump has been walking around with his chest thrust out taking liberties at least twice the size as those before his impeachment .
Pundits believe that he had reached the depth of his depravement , but they were wrong .
Very wrong .
Monday , Trump said that “ 40,000 to 50,000 people ” attended his rally .
Never mind that the venue could only hold an audience of 12,000 .
After his inauguration on January 20 , 2017 , Trump claimed the crowd was approximately 1.5 million .
Pictures of the event showed a comparatively sparse crowd gathered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offended that President Barack Obama had crowds far greater than his own , approximately 1.8 million attendees in 2009 .
Trump approached the problem by telling reporters to not believe their eyes .
He also had the photographs altered to create the reality he desired .
Trump ’ s first White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was forced to claim this was the “ largest crowd ever.
” The actual crowd was between “ 250,000 and 600,000.
” One of his top advisers in the White House , Stephen Miller , stood before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ press conferences and spoke these chilling words , according to The Washington Post : The president spoke to reporters at the White House Tuesday .
That was when he claimed that he drew in crowds comparable to what he expected during his trip to India at the end of the month .
He claimed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi believed he could generate crowds of “ millions , ” which would come to see him , The Newsweek magazine reported : “ Last night we probably had 40 to 50,000 people , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when we have 50,000 people these days… I ’ m not going to feel so good .
Because he [ Modi ] thinks we ’ re going to have 5 to 7 million people just from the airport to the new stadium , and you know it ’ s the largest stadium in the world.
’ Of course , despite Trump ’ s enormous crowd size estimates , there was no doubt that he had drawn a significant number of people as they stood in the rain and in the cold awaiting his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to shake up the Democrats by holding a rally the day before the New Hampshire primary .
The only comparable crowd size was Senator Bernie Sanders ’ ( I-VT ) rallies .
He held a rally at a smaller venue with the capacity to hold 7,500 people .

After his inauguration on January 20, 2017, Trump claimed the crowd was approximately 1.5 million. Pictures of the event showed a comparatively sparse crowd gathered along the National Mall.
He was offended that President Barack Obama had crowds far greater than his own, approximately 1.8 million attendees in 2009. Trump approached the problem by telling reporters to not believe their eyes. He also had the photographs altered to create the reality he desired.
Trump’s first White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was forced to claim this was the “largest crowd ever.” The actual crowd was between “250,000 and 600,000.”
One of his top advisers in the White House, Stephen Miller, stood before the reporters when POTUS used to have press conferences and spoke these chilling words, according to The Washington Post:
‘[O]ur opponents, the media and the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned.’

bipartisanreport--2020-02-12--Bill Passes Awarding Electoral Votes To Popular Vote Winner

As the 2020 general election approaches , Virginia state legislators have taken a dramatic new approach to helping ensure the integrity of the proceedings .
The state House has passed a bill that would award the state ’ s electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the national popular vote , which would help erase the system that propelled Donald Trump into the White House even though more than three million more people voted for Hillary Clinton nationally .
Trump won enough separate , densely populated states to nab the electoral votes to put him over the edge .

As the 2020 general election approaches, Virginia state legislators have taken a dramatic new approach to helping ensure the integrity of the proceedings. The state House has passed a bill that would award the state’s electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the national popular vote, which would help erase the system that propelled Donald Trump into the White House even though more than three million more people voted for Hillary Clinton nationally. Trump won enough separate, densely populated states to nab the electoral votes to put him over the edge.
The bill joins the state to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which is slated to go into effect when enough states join to bring the total electoral votes shared by members to a total of more than a national majority.
Its summary reads, in part:
‘Under the compact, Virginia agrees to award its electoral votes to the presidential ticket that receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The compact goes into effect when states cumulatively possessing a majority of the electoral votes have joined the compact. A state may withdraw from the compact; however, a withdrawal occurring within six months of the end of a President’s term shall not become effective until a President or Vice President has qualified to serve the next term.’
In other words — the point is fairness, rather than some kind of political maneuvering.
The bill is now headed to the state Senate, which — like the House — is controlled by Democrats. Considering current Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s own Democratic affiliation, the measure seems likely to get signed into law sooner than later, taking the U.S. one step closer to a more appropriately democratized presidential election system.
Currently, 15 states and Washington, D.C., are members of the compact, which would need some 74 more electoral votes to secure a national majority. Most of those behind the bills that have added member states so far have been Democrats. Similarly, a number of current Democratic presidential primary candidates have themselves derided the idea of the electoral college, which dilutes the national popular vote by giving an added weight to individual, smaller jurisdictions, who get extra electoral votes when the procedural body gathers.
For example, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has commented, referring to the 2016 race:
‘I believe that it is hard to defend the current system in which one candidate receives 3 million votes less than his opponent, but still becomes president. We need to reexamine the concept of the electoral college.’
Fellow leading candidates Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren have also dissed the electoral college concept.
Buttigieg commented of the electoral college:
‘It’s gotta go. We need a national popular vote. It would be reassuring from the perspective of believing that we’re a democracy.’
For his part, Trump made a dramatic shift in the tone of his public comments about the electoral college after it delivered him a 2016 victory. At present, in terms of the national popular vote at least, he is running behind most leading Democratic presidential candidates in most national polls measuring potential general election match-ups.

Just after week after the president exited his articles of impeachment trial acquitted, the commander-in-chief had opened Collins’ eyes to what his wall of revenge looked like. He was after all of his political enemies.

The senator lost her patience:
I voted to acquit the President, as I made very clear to you, Manu, on numerous occasions, because his conduct, while wrong, did not meet the high bar established in the Constitution for the immediate ouster of a duly elected president.’
Manu Raju obviously was having a difficult time with the following:
‘Trump’s targeting of senators — including Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney — who didn’t vote with him on impeachment.
His “celebration” ceremony at the White House last week in which he used his presidential platform to punish his enemies, praise his friends and generally declare victory.

That left Senator Collins holding the bag. She tried to escape the optics of Trump’s bloodbath for the last week, plus one day. Yet, there was no way that she could right the wrong she made by voting “not guilty” at the conclusion of his impeachment trial.
She continued with her futile explanation to O’Donnell. At that time, she said this about her huge political error:
‘I believe that the President has learned from this case [and he] will be much more cautious in the future.’
That argument appeared weak at the time she made it. She could not produce any evidence to support her decision. Now, she has no options to halt Trump’s campaign of retribution against his perceived enemies. Her approach continuesd to look bad.
Of course, Trump learned his lesson, but not the one she was after. POTUS would have realized:

bipartisanreport--2020-02-12--Murkowski Embarrasses Herself During Botched TV Trump Defense Attempt

Alaska ’ s Lisa Murkowski was among the Republican Senators who voted to acquit President Donald Trump at the end of his recent impeachment trial while making a show of arguments like the claim that he had supposedly learned his lesson , or something — but if the news of the last few days alone is any indication , he most definitely has not .
Faced with the inescapably documented facts of the president ’ s behavior , which has recently included pressure on the Justice Department to lighten their sentencing recommendation for his longtime pal Roger Stone , Murkowski @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his lesson , or whatever , while speaking to reporters this week .
New York Times correspondent Nicholas Fandos noted that after the Senator was “ asked by reporters if Trump learned a lesson from impeachment , ” she briskly replied : Murkowski also commented against Trump ’ s meddling in Stone ’ s case , although she tried to focus on the part that technically , the president doesn ’ t seem to have signed off on a sentencing reduction .
Indeed , his political appointees at the Justice Department are , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suggest that they ’ re doing so without an acute consciousness of the president ’ s take on the whole situation .
The original “ learned his lesson ” comment seems to have come from Maine ’ s Susan Collins , a fellow Republican who also voted to acquit the president .
She commented , in reference to the president : Murkowski , originally , argued ( like others did ) that Trump ’ s fate should simply be left to voters to decide .
The problem is that the Constitution doesn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impeaches a president , the Senate should refuse to hear evidence at the subsequent trial and make a show of turning over the final decision to voters , or something.

Now , the Justice Department is struggling to maintain integrity .
After that debacle in Stone ’ s case , in which political higher-ups intervened against the U.S. Attorney ’ s office in D.C. , every prosecutor from that office who ’ d been on the case withdrew in apparent protest .

Murkowski also commented against Trump’s meddling in Stone’s case, although she tried to focus on the part that technically, the president doesn’t seem to have signed off on a sentencing reduction.
She commented:
‘I don’t think the president should be determining what the sentences are but he’s not.’
Indeed, his political appointees at the Justice Department are, and it would be absolutely ludicrous to suggest that they’re doing so without an acute consciousness of the president’s take on the whole situation.

The original “learned his lesson” comment seems to have come from Maine’s Susan Collins, a fellow Republican who also voted to acquit the president.
She commented, in reference to the president:
‘He was impeached, and there has been criticism by both Republican and Democratic senators of his call. I believe that he will be much more cautious in the future… The president has been impeached. That’s a pretty big lesson.’
Murkowski, originally, argued (like others did) that Trump’s fate should simply be left to voters to decide.
She commented:
‘The president’s name is on ballots that have already been cast. The voters will pronounce a verdict in nine months, and we must trust their judgment.’
The problem is that the Constitution doesn’t say that “when the House impeaches a president, the Senate should refuse to hear evidence at the subsequent trial and make a show of turning over the final decision to voters, or something.” No; instead, it outlines a plan for the Senate to actually hold a trial, which in any traditional understanding of the term, includes witness testimony and other evidence — all of which Murkowski voted against allowing, arguing that the whole impeachment process had been too tainted by partisanship and attempting to subsequently wash her hands of it rather than actually engaging.
She argued:
‘The Senate should be ashamed by the rank partisanship that has been on display here.’
But she didn’t actually do anything about it.
Now, the Justice Department is struggling to maintain integrity. After that debacle in Stone’s case, in which political higher-ups intervened against the U.S. Attorney’s office in D.C., every prosecutor from that office who’d been on the case withdrew in apparent protest. Apparently — unlike Murkowski — they had a plan for how to avoid getting used as a political pawn by the president.

Donald Trump stands in the White House’s private quarters holding a cell phone in one hand and junk food in the other. He may wish that he never went after former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg. This is why.
The president’s multi-billion-dollar opponent has been standing just visible to people as he called out Trump. The “world’s biggest schoolyard bully:”
‘Donald Trump is the world’s biggest schoolyard bully – with no respect for civility or decency, or facts or honesty. Our party needs a candidate who can go toe-to-toe with him and take the fight to him.’
The president has started ordering the military to take action against Lt. Col Alexander Vindman and his twin brother who did nothing. He may have to go through Bloomberg’s media campaign to get there:
‘On Wednesday, Bloomberg won the endorsements of three Congressional Black Caucus members. One of the endorsements was from Democratic U.S. Representative Gregory Meeks of New York City, where Bloomberg was mayor for 12 years.’
Then on Wednesday, three black Democrats endorsed Bloomberg, according to Reuters:
‘The three included Democratic U.S. Representative Gregory Meeks of New York City, where Bloomberg was mayor for 12 years. As a senior caucus member and chair of a caucus fundraising arm, his is one of the highest-profile endorsements yet for Bloomberg, who is seeking his party’s nomination to challenge Republican President Donald Trump in November’s election.’

bipartisanreport--2020-02-12--Jim Jordan’s ‘Crying & Groveling’ Phone Call Info Leaked To Media

Who is the representative who never wears a jacket as his trademark ?
Representative Jim Jordan ( R-OH ) came onto the stage as one of Donald Trump ’ s loudest most obnoxious attack dogs .
The former wrestling coach goes after Democrats with all the enthusiasm of a ravenous pit bull going after a steak .
So what is the representative up to these days ?
Tuesday , the House Civil Justice Committee was investigating sexual attacks on the Ohio State University ( OSU ) wrestling team .
Jordan knew what was happening , but he just turned away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assaulted many on the wrestling team .
The bill before the committee would allow the OCU victims to sue the university for damages , according to The Cleveland.com .
Former captain of the team Adam DiSabato , who was sexually molested in the late 80s and early 90s , testified before the House Civil Justice Committee .
The former student wrestler told the committee that Jordan and other officials for the team were well aware of the “ open-shower team facilities that facilitated sexual harassment and abuse of team wrestlers.
” The representative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team captain ’ s brother Michael DiSabato claimed that the doctor ’ s abuse was common knowledge .
Yet , DiSabato ’ s brother testified that Jordan had called him time and time again in July 2018 .
Jordan was an assistant coach wrestling team at Ohio State University from 1987 to 1995 .
The coach has “ denied knowledge of lewd behavior at university facilities.
” Adam DiSabato was one of the OSU wrestlers who filed lawsuits against the university .
It alleged that the school and by extension the coaches knew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
DiSabato appeared as a witness for hearings on House Bill 249 .
That bill would allow Strauss ’ victims to sue OSU by waiving the statute of limitations for the case .
Otherwise , they could no longer sue .
Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder requested the hearing , because he said that the university ’ s attorneys were just “ dragging their feet in the mediation .
An OSU spokesperson called for the new hearing .
He claimed that OSU was holding firm : OSU has also investigated the doctor and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sexually abused 177 young men at a minimum between 1979 and 1998 .
Lawsuits from the students claimed he assaulted nearly 350 men .
The investigation did not result in any charges .
Strauss committed suicide in 2005 .

Who is the representative who never wears a jacket as his trademark? Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) came onto the stage as one of Donald Trump’s loudest most obnoxious attack dogs. The former wrestling coach goes after Democrats with all the enthusiasm of a ravenous pit bull going after a steak. So what is the representative up to these days?
Tuesday, the House Civil Justice Committee was investigating sexual attacks on the Ohio State University (OSU) wrestling team. Jordan knew what was happening, but he just turned away as the former OSU doctor Richard Strauss assaulted many on the wrestling team.
The bill before the committee would allow the OCU victims to sue the university for damages, according to The Cleveland.com. Former captain of the team Adam DiSabato, who was sexually molested in the late 80s and early 90s, testified before the House Civil Justice Committee.
The former student wrestler told the committee that Jordan and other officials for the team were well aware of the “open-shower team facilities that facilitated sexual harassment and abuse of team wrestlers.” The representative has denied all allegations.
The former team captain’s brother Michael DiSabato claimed that the doctor’s abuse was common knowledge. Yet, DiSabato’s brother testified that Jordan had called him time and time again in July 2018.
‘Jim Jordan called me crying, groveling… begging me to go against my brother…That’s the kind of cover-up that’s going on there. Are you guys going to do what you’re voted to do?That’s the only reason I’m here.’
Jordan was an assistant coach wrestling team at Ohio State University from 1987 to 1995. The coach has “denied knowledge of lewd behavior at university facilities.”
Adam DiSabato was one of the OSU wrestlers who filed lawsuits against the university. It alleged that the school and by extension the coaches knew of his sexual abuse and ignored it.
Jordan spokesperson Ian Fury released a statement for the representative:
‘Congressman Jordan never saw or heard of any abuse, and if he had he would have dealt with it.’
DiSabato called Jordan out:
‘He’s throwing us under the bus, all of us. He’s a coward.’
DiSabato appeared as a witness for hearings on House Bill 249. That bill would allow Strauss’ victims to sue OSU by waiving the statute of limitations for the case. Otherwise, they could no longer sue.
Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder requested the hearing, because he said that the university’s attorneys were just “dragging their feet in the mediation. An OSU spokesperson called for the new hearing. He claimed that OSU was holding firm:
‘[To] reaching a monetary solution as soon as possible.’
OSU has also investigated the doctor and released its conclusion that the doctor had sexually abused 177 young men at a minimum between 1979 and 1998. Lawsuits from the students claimed he assaulted nearly 350 men. The investigation did not result in any charges. Strauss committed suicide in 2005.

bipartisanreport--2020-02-12--Pelosi Destroys Trump Over DOJ Bill Barr Corruption

This week , the Trump appointee-led Department of Justice put yet another gross power grab on display with their handling of the case against longtime Trump ally Roger Stone .
After an initial recommendation from the D.C. U.S. Attorney ’ s office for a sentence of 7 to 9 years , higher-ups at the department stepped in with a reduction , which — although they claim the decision came sooner — was revealed after Trump himself had a public Twitter meltdown about the original sentencing recommendation .
In a public statement posted to Twitter , House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the Justice Department for their brazen political interference .
‘ By tweet @ realDonaldTrump engaged in political interference in the sentencing of Roger Stone .
It is outrageous that DOJ has deeply damaged the rule of law by withdrawing its recommendation .
Stepping down of prosecutors should be commended & actions of DOJ should be investigated.
’ Even if it ’ s true that , as officials claim , the decision to reduce the department ’ s sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone was made before Trump ’ s recent morning tweet about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appointees at the department are far from in the clear .
Thanks to the political climate , it ’ s ludicrous to suggest that they ’ d have made their decision at any point without at least a consciousness of the president ’ s long clearly stated perspective on the proceedings , which he ’ s routinely denounced .
Besides — maybe there was some kind of internal White House communication about the sentencing before the tweet .
Now , besides the sentencing reduction , Attorney General and ardent Trump defender Bill Barr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ department lead on all Trump-adjacent matters , including the Stone sentencing .
This debacle is the latest in a long line of presidential interference in the judicial system stretching back to incidents like his abrupt firing of FBI Director James Comey in 2017 , who had been leading the Russia investigation at the time .
Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not exonerate Trump on charges of obstruction of justice at the conclusion of his Russia investigation .

President Donald Trump’s incessant ego means that years after he faced her in an election, he still regularly obsesses over Hillary Clinton — which means that some recent Twitter posts from the former presidential candidate are likely to get to him if he hears about them. On Monday, she publicly denounced the latest corruption debacle at the Department of Justice, which involves higher-ups intervening to lower a sentencing recommendation for longtime Trump ally Roger Stone, which it would be difficult to take as absolutely anything other than political service for the president.
Clinton also addressed those in the Congressional GOP who have brazenly enabled this behavior by refusing opportunities to put the president in check.
She commented:

One after the other, while some of them claimed that Trump had learned his lesson (has he ever learned his lesson in his entire life?), Congressional Republicans voted to block witness testimony from his Senate impeachment trial and, subsequently, to acquit him, no matter the evidence.

Instead, McConnell — who’s refused to allow measure after measure to go the floor for a vote — has opted to mockingly proclaim himself the “Grim Reaper” of Democratic legislation.
On Monday, Clinton also addressed Trump’s public harassment of the judge in Stone’s case, Amy Berman Jackson. She’s the one who’s slated to actually make a sentencing decision based off, in part, the shifting recommendations from the Justice Department.
Addressing Trump directly, Clinton commented:

This week , the political independence of the Department of Justice fell apart even more intensely surrounding the sentencing of longtime Trump ally Roger Stone .

bipartisanreport--2020-02-13--Trump Has Unhinged Oval Office Meltdown Over Roger Stone Case

This week , political independence at the Justice Department fell apart even further when higher-ups intervened to shorten a sentencing recommendation that the D.C. U.S. Attorney ’ s office had delivered to federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson for longtime Trump ally Roger Stone , who a jury found guilty of an array of obstruction of justice charges .
Asked about the case ’ s latest developments during a sit-down with the Ecadourian president this Wednesday , Trump delivered an angry , unhinged tirade , railing against “ Mueller people , ” the prosecutors behind Stone ’ s original sentencing recommendation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a whole host of other people .
Throughout the whole exchange , Trump displayed a stunning willful ignorance of the basic facts of Stone ’ s case .
For example , Stone was convicted not by some deep state conspirator ; he was convicted by a jury , who responded to a lengthy presentation of detailed evidence of Stone ’ s dedicated scheme to obstruct justice .
Trump ignored all of this .
‘ Nine years recommended by four people that , perhaps they were Mueller people , I don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t know what happened , but they all hit the road pretty quickly .
Look , you had somebody recently that got two months ; he got sentenced to two months for leaking classified information at the highest level .
They treated Roger Stone very badly .
They treated everybody very badly , and if you look at the Mueller investigation , it was a scam , because it was illegally set up .
It was set up based on false documentation and false documents ; you look at what happened , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives were destroyed , and nothing happened to all the people did it and launched this scam.
’ He ’ s just spouting off whatever comes to mind without any regard for the actual facts of the situation .
There is no evidence of any illegality surrounding the actual start of the Russia investigation that eventually ended up led by Robert Mueller .
Also — whose life was ruined by the investigation , exactly ?
Is that his take on the prison sentence that his former campaign manager Paul Manafort is currently serving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crimes like money laundering go undealt with because the consequences aren ’ t convenient for the wannabe despot in charge .
‘ Where ’ s Comey ?
What ’ s happening to McCabe ?
What ’ s happening to Lisa and Peter Strzok and Lisa Page ?
What ’ s happening to them ?
It was a whole set up and a disgrace for our country and everyone knows it too , including NBC , which gives a lot of fake news .
The fact is that Roger Stone was treated horribly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their lives were destroyed… and frankly , they should apologize to a lot of the people whose lives they ’ ve ruined.
’ He went on to offer his uniquely self-centered view of what happened surrounding Stone ’ s sentencing : ‘ They saw the horribleness of a nine year sentence… nine years for doing something that nobody can even define what he did .
Somebody said he put out a tweet , and the tweet — you based it on that.
’ Nope .
In fact , Stone ’ s crimes are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Obstruction of justice is not an imaginary offense .
And now , Stone ’ s fate is up to Judge Amy Berman Jackson — unless Trump steps in with a pardon , which this week he seemed to acknowledge that he ’ d been considering .

This week, political independence at the Justice Department fell apart even further when higher-ups intervened to shorten a sentencing recommendation that the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s office had delivered to federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson for longtime Trump ally Roger Stone, who a jury found guilty of an array of obstruction of justice charges. Asked about the case’s latest developments during a sit-down with the Ecadourian president this Wednesday, Trump delivered an angry, unhinged tirade, railing against “Mueller people,” the prosecutors behind Stone’s original sentencing recommendation, former FBI Director James Comey, and a whole host of other people.
Throughout the whole exchange, Trump displayed a stunning willful ignorance of the basic facts of Stone’s case. For example, Stone was convicted not by some deep state conspirator; he was convicted by a jury, who responded to a lengthy presentation of detailed evidence of Stone’s dedicated scheme to obstruct justice. Trump ignored all of this.
He railed to a reporter:
‘Nine years recommended by four people that, perhaps they were Mueller people, I don’t know who they were — I don’t know what happened, but they all hit the road pretty quickly. Look, you had somebody recently that got two months; he got sentenced to two months for leaking classified information at the highest level. They treated Roger Stone very badly. They treated everybody very badly, and if you look at the Mueller investigation, it was a scam, because it was illegally set up. It was set up based on false documentation and false documents; you look at what happened, how many people were hurt — their lives were destroyed, and nothing happened to all the people did it and launched this scam.’
He’s just spouting off whatever comes to mind without any regard for the actual facts of the situation. There is no evidence of any illegality surrounding the actual start of the Russia investigation that eventually ended up led by Robert Mueller. Also — whose life was ruined by the investigation, exactly? Is that his take on the prison sentence that his former campaign manager Paul Manafort is currently serving? One doesn’t simply let crimes like money laundering go undealt with because the consequences aren’t convenient for the wannabe despot in charge.
Undeterred, Trump continued:
‘Where’s Comey? What’s happening to McCabe? What’s happening to Lisa and Peter Strzok and Lisa Page? What’s happening to them? It was a whole set up and a disgrace for our country and everyone knows it too, including NBC, which gives a lot of fake news. The fact is that Roger Stone was treated horribly, and so were many other people — their lives were destroyed… and frankly, they should apologize to a lot of the people whose lives they’ve ruined.’
Watch:
He went on to offer his uniquely self-centered view of what happened surrounding Stone’s sentencing:
‘They saw the horribleness of a nine year sentence… nine years for doing something that nobody can even define what he did. Somebody said he put out a tweet, and the tweet — you based it on that.’
Nope. In fact, Stone’s crimes are well-defined. Prosecutors spent days outlining them. Obstruction of justice is not an imaginary offense. And now, Stone’s fate is up to Judge Amy Berman Jackson — unless Trump steps in with a pardon, which this week he seemed to acknowledge that he’d been considering.

The revolving door at the Trump administration kept revolving this week .
Now , the White House has announced that none other than former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and former White House press secretary Sean Spicer are back with new positions at the White House .
According to a public statement , both of them are going to be serving on the panel that vets prospective candidates for certain other positions at the Trump team , which is officially referred to as the President ’ s Commission on White House Fellowships .
The White House fellowship program @ @ @ @ @ @ @ geared up to “ offer exceptional young men and women first-hand experience working at the highest levels of the federal government.
” In the same release in which Priebus ’ s and Spicer ’ s addition to this selection team was announced , the White House also revealed that Trump campaign lawyer Justin Reilly Clark and former Pence chief of staff Joshua Pitcock would also be joining the selection commission .
According to the White House website , those selected by this latest crackpot squad will essentially get immersed into an advisory and/or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet-to-be-determined policy areas .
The site explains : Supposedly , fellowships are “ awarded on a strictly non-partisan basis , ” but what non-Trump supporter would apply to have any part of the chaotic ship of nonsense that is the Trump administration ?

The revolving door at the Trump administration kept revolving this week. Now, the White House has announced that none other than former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and former White House press secretary Sean Spicer are back with new positions at the White House. According to a public statement, both of them are going to be serving on the panel that vets prospective candidates for certain other positions at the Trump team, which is officially referred to as the President’s Commission on White House Fellowships. The White House fellowship program is described on the official webpage as geared up to “offer exceptional young men and women first-hand experience working at the highest levels of the federal government.”
In the same release in which Priebus’s and Spicer’s addition to this selection team was announced, the White House also revealed that Trump campaign lawyer Justin Reilly Clark and former Pence chief of staff Joshua Pitcock would also be joining the selection commission.
According to the White House website, those selected by this latest crackpot squad will essentially get immersed into an advisory and/or assistant position at the White House in yet-to-be-determined policy areas. The site explains:
‘Selected individuals typically spend a year working as a full-time, paid Fellow to senior White House Staff, Cabinet Secretaries and other top-ranking government officials. Fellows also participate in an education program consisting of roundtable discussions with leaders from the private and public sectors, and trips to study U.S. policy in action both domestically and internationally.’
Supposedly, fellowships are “awarded on a strictly non-partisan basis,” but what non-Trump supporter would apply to have any part of the chaotic ship of nonsense that is the Trump administration? And who actually believes that people like Sean Spicer would approve anyone for a fellowship that was not completely on board with the president’s chaos? It’s not like Spicer is known for being reserved in his Trump defenses. He’s the one who insisted that Trump’s inauguration crowds were bigger than any U.S. presidential inauguration crowds ever, which Kellyanne Conway described as simply “alternative facts.”
Following his own departure from the White House, which he resigned from around the time that the incendiary eventual Trump opponent Anthony Scaramucci was brought on as a communication official, Spicer has enjoyed developments like a stint on the reality television show Dancing with the Stars. Meanwhile, Priebus, who led both the national and Wisconsin state Republican parties prior to joining the White House, joined the Navy after his own infamously unceremonious firing, which was so quick that his tenure was the shortest tenure ever, excluding explicitly interim chiefs of staff.
Their fates, including returns to the White House, are a bit less dramatic than that of John Kelly, who harshly criticized a whole array of the president’s behavior during a recent talk. In response, Trump ranted:
‘When I terminated John Kelly, which I couldn’t do fast enough, he knew full well that he was way over his head. Being Chief of Staff just wasn’t for him. He came in with a bang, went out with a whimper, but like so many X’s, he misses the action & just can’t keep his mouth shut.’
This is coming from the guy who said that he’s “never understood wind.”

Donald Trump went after his former chief of staff with both thumbs. He has had others do the dirty work of firing people, and then he is furious when the fired talk about their experience. As if that could not have been anticipated. He fears former Vice President Joe Biden as a 2020 contender, and his illegal activities around that got him impeached. Yet, there was someone who could do far more damage, just waiting.
The “You’re Fired” man did not have the guts to fire John Kelly. Then, the president projected what he feared about himself ‘[H]e was way over his head:”
‘When I terminated John Kelly, which I couldn’t do fast enough, he knew full well that he was way over his head. Being Chief of Staff just wasn’t for him. He came in with a bang, went out with a whimper, but like so many X’s, he misses the action & just can’t keep his mouth shut,.’
Then, the president indirectly pointed at Kelly’s wife. Trump has notoriously gone after family members, because it hurts more. Take the House witness Lt. Col Alexander Vindman’s twin brother for example. Still, POTUS was greatly offended that Kelly did not keep White House secrets. Trump considers being ugly his right, and endless loyalty was also his right, too:
‘…which he actually has a military and legal obligation to do. His incredible wife, Karen, who I have a lot of respect for, once pulled me aside & said strongly that “John respects you greatly. When we are no longer here, he will only speak well of you.” Wrong!’

bipartisanreport--2020-02-13--Senate Votes Against Trump To Limit His Warmongering

Despite President Donald Trump ’ s best efforts to keep Congressional Republicans in line , some of them broke with his administration in a major way this week .
On Thursday , the Senate delivered a bipartisan approval of a resolution to curb Trump ’ s war powers , which was developed after Trump rushed into conflict with Iran via the abruptly ordered assassination of their top General Qassem Soleimani .
A full eight Republican Senators voted in favor of the war powers restriction resolution , including some high-profile names like Maine ’ s Susan Collins , Kentucky ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resolution is distinct from the similar measure that the House recently passed .
Unlike that measure , the Senate ’ s now approved “ joint resolution ” would be slated to go to Trump for a signature in the event that it ’ s approved by both houses of Congress .
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ( D-N.Y. ) commented , discussing the now pair of approved resolutions : The White House has already threatened a presidential veto of any version of the resolution that might come across Trump ’ s desk , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate resolution just this week .
On Twitter , he claimed that “ it is very important for our Country ’ s SECURITY that the United States Senate not vote for the Iran War Powers Resolution , ” adding that an approval would supposedly “ show weakness.
” A handful of Senate Republicans apparently did not care .

Despite President Donald Trump’s best efforts to keep Congressional Republicans in line, some of them broke with his administration in a major way this week. On Thursday, the Senate delivered a bipartisan approval of a resolution to curb Trump’s war powers, which was developed after Trump rushed into conflict with Iran via the abruptly ordered assassination of their top General Qassem Soleimani. A full eight Republican Senators voted in favor of the war powers restriction resolution, including some high-profile names like Maine’s Susan Collins, Kentucky’s Rand Paul, and others.
The resolution is distinct from the similar measure that the House recently passed. Unlike that measure, the Senate’s now approved “joint resolution” would be slated to go to Trump for a signature in the event that it’s approved by both houses of Congress.
It is very important for our Country’s SECURITY that the United States Senate not vote for the Iran War Powers Resolution. We are doing very well with Iran and this is not the time to show weakness. Americans overwhelmingly support our attack on terrorist Soleimani…. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 12, 2020
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) commented, discussing the now pair of approved resolutions:
‘It sends a shot across his bow that the majority of the Senate and the majority of the House do not want the president waging war without congressional approval.’
The White House has already threatened a presidential veto of any version of the resolution that might come across Trump’s desk, and Trump himself lashed out against the Senate resolution just this week. On Twitter, he claimed that “it is very important for our Country’s SECURITY that the United States Senate not vote for the Iran War Powers Resolution,” adding that an approval would supposedly “show weakness.” A handful of Senate Republicans apparently did not care.


bipartisanreport--2020-02-13--Stone Prosecutor Resigns After Trump Blocks Nomination

The shaping of the government towards President Donald Trump ’ s personal wishes is continuing this week .
Now , Jessie Liu has resigned from the Treasury Department after Trump punitively withdrew her nomination for the high-ranking department job of under secretary for terrorism and financial crimes .
Trump seems to have withdrawn her nomination in direct retaliation for her leadership at the U.S. Attorney ’ s office in D.C. , where she worked until Attorney General Bill Barr replaced her with a new office lead last month .
Her purview while at that office included the Roger Stone criminal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over because of an initial recommendation from prosecutors for a prison sentence of seven to nine years .
Liu does not seem to have commented publicly about her resignation , but it follows the withdrawal of every prosecutor from Stone ’ s case in apparent protest over intervention by higher-ups .
After that initial sentencing recommendation for Stone , and after an angry Twitter tirade from the president , the Department jumped ahead of the D.C. U.S. Attorney ’ s office to shorten Stone ’ s sentencing recommendation .
Although it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ done to change any outcomes in the Stone case let alone what personal role she had in developing the sentencing recommendation that set the president off , CNN notes : Troublingly enough , the night before Trump made his withdrawal of Liu ’ s nomination official , none other than Fox host Lou Dobbs railed against her on his show .
Trump ’ s consistent public praise for Dobbs suggests that the infamous Trump defender essentially directly at least helped pull the levers leading to Liu ’ s nomination ’ s withdrawal .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ gave him the idea .
Yet , those evidence-less accusations against Liu may have helped drive the president to abruptly withdraw her nomination for an important high-level position , the confirmation hearings for which had been scheduled to begin in days .
The Trump administration has long been marked by this kind of dramatic turnover among senior staff members .
So far , he ’ s had three national security advisers , two Secretaries of State , two Defense Secretaries , and an ever-growing cadre of “ advisers.
” Going forward , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many have derided as destructive to the rule of law in the U.S. , Barr himself has been announced as the new department lead on Trump-adjacent matters including the Stone case .

The shaping of the government towards President Donald Trump’s personal wishes is continuing this week. Now, Jessie Liu has resigned from the Treasury Department after Trump punitively withdrew her nomination for the high-ranking department job of under secretary for terrorism and financial crimes. Trump seems to have withdrawn her nomination in direct retaliation for her leadership at the U.S. Attorney’s office in D.C., where she worked until Attorney General Bill Barr replaced her with a new office lead last month. Her purview while at that office included the Roger Stone criminal case, which Trump has been raging over because of an initial recommendation from prosecutors for a prison sentence of seven to nine years.
Liu does not seem to have commented publicly about her resignation, but it follows the withdrawal of every prosecutor from Stone’s case in apparent protest over intervention by higher-ups. After that initial sentencing recommendation for Stone, and after an angry Twitter tirade from the president, the Department jumped ahead of the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s office to shorten Stone’s sentencing recommendation.
Although it’s unclear what Liu could have possibly even done to change any outcomes in the Stone case let alone what personal role she had in developing the sentencing recommendation that set the president off, CNN notes:
‘While head of the US Attorney’s Office in Washington, Liu inherited many of the major ongoing cases from Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation and was also handling the politically charged case of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, a frequent target of Trump’s ire… Trump’s decision to abruptly withdraw her nomination was directly tied to her former job.’
Troublingly enough, the night before Trump made his withdrawal of Liu’s nomination official, none other than Fox host Lou Dobbs railed against her on his show. Trump’s consistent public praise for Dobbs suggests that the infamous Trump defender essentially directly at least helped pull the levers leading to Liu’s nomination’s withdrawal. Trump may have acted because Lou Dobbs gave him the idea.
CNN notes:
‘Fox Business anchor Lou Dobbs, who counts Trump among his viewers, on Tuesday accused Liu of softening her office’s case against a former Senate aide convicted in relation to sensitive leaks, and suggested that she had helped “cover up” his ties to the origins of the Russia investigation. Both of Dobbs’ claims were presented without evidence.’
Yet, those evidence-less accusations against Liu may have helped drive the president to abruptly withdraw her nomination for an important high-level position, the confirmation hearings for which had been scheduled to begin in days. The Trump administration has long been marked by this kind of dramatic turnover among senior staff members. So far, he’s had three national security advisers, two Secretaries of State, two Defense Secretaries, and an ever-growing cadre of “advisers.”
Going forward, as the latest development in a story which many have derided as destructive to the rule of law in the U.S., Barr himself has been announced as the new department lead on Trump-adjacent matters including the Stone case.

bipartisanreport--2020-02-13--Treasury Secretary Caught In Trump Lie During Senate Hearing

Recently , President Donald Trump ’ s administration decidedly made their disconnected values abundantly clear with a budget proposal that included massive cuts to programs like Medicaid and Social Security .
Now , to be clear , this budget proposal is just that — a proposal — and it ’ s up to Congress to actually finalize the government budget for the next fiscal year , but in the meantime , the proposal shows exactly where the Trump-led GOP ’ s priorities lie .
During a Senate Finance Committee hearing this week , Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto ( D-Nev. ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Social Security cuts , and — although he struggled to get it out some way other than “ Washington-speak ” — he admitted that the cuts are included .
Mnuchin ’ s idea was that he could explain away the cut by calling it a cut in the rate of benefit increase and distinguishing that from an outright cut in the amount of benefits that Social Security recipients will be receiving .
But down in this pesky thing called reality , a cut is a cut , and seniors on the program aren @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to somewhere where inflation and other similar issues don ’ t matter just because Mnuchin came up with a pretzel of rhetoric .
Indeed — a cut to Social Security benefits in the name of protecting funds for items like military equipment and the southern border wall would have very real-world effects for many Americans .
‘ My concern is this administration says one thing , but their actions are just the opposite , and I think it is important for us to really talk the true facts and not what you come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what the administration claims they are doing to the benefit of our communities .
Because I can tell you , when I go home to Nevada , there are still people struggling.
’ The ironic thing is that Trump has repeatedly pledged not to touch social programs like Social Security and Medicaid , the latter of which faces a cut of almost $ 1 trillion under his budget proposal .
Either he ’ s incompetent or a fool or both .
( Probably both . )
Besides those huge cuts , Trump ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for billions more dollars of funding for his southern border wall project .
He ’ d rather build that monument to his ego in the middle of the desert than shore up protections for Americans who need the assistance that he wants to take away .

Recently, President Donald Trump’s administration decidedly made their disconnected values abundantly clear with a budget proposal that included massive cuts to programs like Medicaid and Social Security. Now, to be clear, this budget proposal is just that — a proposal — and it’s up to Congress to actually finalize the government budget for the next fiscal year, but in the meantime, the proposal shows exactly where the Trump-led GOP’s priorities lie. During a Senate Finance Committee hearing this week, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) confronted Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin over the Social Security cuts, and — although he struggled to get it out some way other than “Washington-speak” — he admitted that the cuts are included.
Donald Trump’s budget is built on policies that pillage working families to pay for brand new windfalls for corporations and the wealthy. Trump is sending his cronies to Capitol Hill to defend his latest giveaway to the wealthy and well-connected, but we're not fooled. https://t.co/nJavAxq2KK — Ron Wyden (@RonWyden) February 12, 2020
Mnuchin’s idea was that he could explain away the cut by calling it a cut in the rate of benefit increase and distinguishing that from an outright cut in the amount of benefits that Social Security recipients will be receiving. But down in this pesky thing called reality, a cut is a cut, and seniors on the program aren’t going magically get whisked off to somewhere where inflation and other similar issues don’t matter just because Mnuchin came up with a pretzel of rhetoric.
Cortez Masto commented to Mnuchin:
‘If that is not a cut, then I would love to talk to you about what it is this administration values and what they see, how these groups and important individuals in our communities are being affected.’
Indeed — a cut to Social Security benefits in the name of protecting funds for items like military equipment and the southern border wall would have very real-world effects for many Americans.
The Senator continued:
‘My concern is this administration says one thing, but their actions are just the opposite, and I think it is important for us to really talk the true facts and not what you come here and read in your statements about what the administration claims they are doing to the benefit of our communities. Because I can tell you, when I go home to Nevada, there are still people struggling.’
Watch:
The Trump admin claims there are no cuts to Social Security in the budget. So why wouldn't Sec Mnuchin answer a simple yes or no question about whether there are billions in cuts to Social Security, hurting seniors? Answer: because there are cuts to Social Security in the budget pic.twitter.com/hS503RrSe0 — Senator Cortez Masto (@SenCortezMasto) February 12, 2020
Mnuchin eventually reiterated:
‘I believe there’s a cut in the rate of increase not an absolute cut.’
Again, that’s a cut.
Cortez Masto continued:
‘Let’s talk about it. Because if you’re cutting Social Security, and the resources and the individuals and the time for the people who work with Social Security to help people in need, then you’re impacting people of need. So let’s talk about that.’
The ironic thing is that Trump has repeatedly pledged not to touch social programs like Social Security and Medicaid, the latter of which faces a cut of almost $1 trillion under his budget proposal. Either he’s incompetent or a fool or both. (Probably both.)
Besides those huge cuts, Trump’s new budget also contains a request for billions more dollars of funding for his southern border wall project. He’d rather build that monument to his ego in the middle of the desert than shore up protections for Americans who need the assistance that he wants to take away.
