“After Trump leaves, and he will, to repair the damage he has caused Democracy, it will be imperative that a non partisan commission be formed to investigate him for Federal Crimes. It will be the only way we can restore faith in our Constitution and the Rule of Law,” Reiner tweeted.

Breitbart.com reports: Reiner hasn’t proposed any similar commissions to investigate former President Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
The filmmaker also called President Trump “illegitimate” and “mentally ill” in a separate tweet, suggesting that the president’s resolve to challenge election results in certain battleground states “will do permanent damage to our Democracy.”
The projection of this mentally ill man continues. An illegitimate tortured President pathetically tries to claim his successor is illegitimate. If his insanity remains unchecked, it will do permanent damage to our Democracy. — Rob Reiner (@robreiner) November 20, 2020
Reiner’s demand comes as the left steps up calls to shame and blacklist Trump associates and supporters. Some Democrats recently floated the idea of “The Trump Accountability Project,” which would create a database of Trump allies and even federal judges appointed by the president.

New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo is to receive an international Emmy Award for using television to communicate with residents during the coronavirus pandemic .
No , this is not satire… Cuomo will receive an Emmy for his televised coronavirus briefings despite the high death toll in New York and Cuomo ’ s spotty record on transparency .

The award will be presented to Cuomo next week .
But not everyone shared in his delight .
Social media users asked aloud whether the announcement was a joke , with several comments saying that they thought the tweet was from the satirical news site the Babylon Bee .
Cuomo has been one of the most controversial public figures during the coronavirus crisis , garnering both praise and condemnation for his response to the pandemic .
Many people pointed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , New York has the second-highest Covid-19 death rate per 100,000 people , arguing that it was hard to take accolades praising his “ leadership ” seriously .
The governor ’ s administration advisory to place Covid-positive patients in nursing homes was used by numerous observers to underscore the absurdity of the Emmy announcement .

Britain’s Counter Terror Chief Calls For ‘National Debate’ On Criminalizing Doubts About Coronavirus Vaccine

newspunch--2020-11-22--Democrat Michigan AG Threatens CRIMINAL Charges Against GOP Certifiers

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has warned that Republicans who oppose certification could be criminally investigated or charged .
On Friday afternoon , leaders of Michigan ’ s Republican-controlled state legislature met with President Trump in the White House at his invitation .
According to the Washington Post , AG Nessel “ is conferring with election law experts on whether officials may have violated any state laws prohibiting them from engaging in bribery , perjury and conspiracy.
” Zerohedge.com reports : It is same weaponization of the criminal code for political purposes that we have seen in the last four @ @ @ @ @ @ @ focus is the same discredited interpretation used against Trump and notably not adopted by the impeachment-eager House Judiciary Committee : bribery .
In Politico , Richard Primus wrote that these legislators should not attend a meeting with Trump because “ it threatens the two Michigan legislators , personally , with the risk of criminal investigation.
” This ridiculous legal claims is based on the bribery theory : The danger for Shirkey and Chatfield , then , is that they are being visibly invited to a meeting where the likely agenda involves the felony @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Under Michigan law , any member of the Legislature who “ corruptly ” accepts a promise of some beneficial act in return for exercising his authority in a certain way is “ forever disqualified to hold any public office ” and “ shall be guilty of a felony , punishable by imprisonment in the state prison not more than 10 years [ . ]
” We repeatedly discussed this theory during the Trump presidency .
As I have previously written , a leading proponent has been former prosecutor and Washington Post columnist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ allegations of a wrongful quid pro quo are really just another way of saying that there was a bribe … it ’ s bribery if a quid pro quo is sought with corrupt intent , if the president is not pursuing legitimate U.S. policy but instead is wrongfully demanding actions by Ukraine that would benefit him personally.
” Eliason further endorsed the House report and assured that “ The legal and factual analysis of bribery and honest services fraud in the House report is exactly right ” and “ outlines compelling evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was never “ exactly ” or even remotely right , as evidenced by the decision not to use it as a basis for impeachment .
And yet , it ’ s back .
Indeed , the greatest danger of the theory was not that it would ever pass muster in the federal court system but that it would be used ( as here ) in the political system to criminalize policy and legal disagreements .
( Eliason recently defended the attacks on fellow lawyers who are represented those challenging election results or practices @ @ @ @ @ @ @ went into historical and legal detail to explain why this theory was never credible .
While it was gleefully presented by papers like the Washington Post , it ignored case law that rejected precisely this type of limitless definition of the offense .
As I told the House Judiciary Committee , the Supreme Court has repeatedly narrowed the scope of the statutory definition of bribery , including distinctions with direct relevance to the current controversy in cases like McDonnell v. United States , where the Court overturned the conviction of former Virginia governor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eviscerated what he called the “ boundless interpretation of the federal bribery statute.
” The Court explained the such “ boundless interpretations ” are inimical to constitutional rights because they deny citizens the notice of what acts are presumptively criminal : “ [ U ] nder the Government ’ s interpretation , the term ‘ official act ’ is not defined ‘ with sufficient definiteness that ordinary people can understand what conduct is prohibited , ’ or ‘ in a manner that does not encourage arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement.
’ ” I will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this type of broad interpretation .

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has warned that Republicans who oppose certification could be criminally investigated or charged.
On Friday afternoon, leaders of Michigan’s Republican-controlled state legislature met with President Trump in the White House at his invitation.

According to the Washington Post, AG Nessel “is conferring with election law experts on whether officials may have violated any state laws prohibiting them from engaging in bribery, perjury and conspiracy.”
Zerohedge.com reports: It is same weaponization of the criminal code for political purposes that we have seen in the last four years against Trump. Notably, the focus is the same discredited interpretation used against Trump and notably not adopted by the impeachment-eager House Judiciary Committee: bribery.
In Politico, Richard Primus wrote that these legislators should not attend a meeting with Trump because “it threatens the two Michigan legislators, personally, with the risk of criminal investigation.”
This ridiculous legal claims is based on the bribery theory:
The danger for Shirkey and Chatfield, then, is that they are being visibly invited to a meeting where the likely agenda involves the felony of attempting to bribe a public official. Under Michigan law, any member of the Legislature who “corruptly” accepts a promise of some beneficial act in return for exercising his authority in a certain way is “forever disqualified to hold any public office” and “shall be guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the state prison not more than 10 years[.]”
We repeatedly discussed this theory during the Trump presidency. As I have previously written, a leading proponent has been former prosecutor and Washington Post columnist Randall D. Eliason, who insisted that “allegations of a wrongful quid pro quo are really just another way of saying that there was a bribe … it’s bribery if a quid pro quo is sought with corrupt intent, if the president is not pursuing legitimate U.S. policy but instead is wrongfully demanding actions by Ukraine that would benefit him personally.” Eliason further endorsed the House report and assured that “The legal and factual analysis of bribery and honest services fraud in the House report is exactly right” and “outlines compelling evidence of federal criminal violations.”
The theory was never “exactly” or even remotely right, as evidenced by the decision not to use it as a basis for impeachment. And yet, it’s back. Indeed, the greatest danger of the theory was not that it would ever pass muster in the federal court system but that it would be used (as here) in the political system to criminalize policy and legal disagreements. (Eliason recently defended the attacks on fellow lawyers who are represented those challenging election results or practices).
In my testimony, I went into historical and legal detail to explain why this theory was never credible. While it was gleefully presented by papers like the Washington Post, it ignored case law that rejected precisely this type of limitless definition of the offense. As I told the House Judiciary Committee, the Supreme Court has repeatedly narrowed the scope of the statutory definition of bribery, including distinctions with direct relevance to the current controversy in cases like McDonnell v. United States, where the Court overturned the conviction of former Virginia governor Robert McDonnell. Chief Justice John Roberts eviscerated what he called the “boundless interpretation of the federal bribery statute.” The Court explained the such “boundless interpretations” are inimical to constitutional rights because they deny citizens the notice of what acts are presumptively criminal: “[U]nder the Government’s interpretation, the term ‘official act’ is not defined ‘with sufficient definiteness that ordinary people can understand what conduct is prohibited,’ or ‘in a manner that does not encourage arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement.’”
I will not repeat the litany of cases rejecting this type of broad interpretation. However, the case law did not matter then and it does not matter now to those who believe that the criminal code is endless flexible to meet political agenda.
It doesn’t even matter that the Supreme Court reaffirmed prior rejections of such broad interpretations in a recent unanimous ruling written by Justice Elena Kagan. In Kelly v. United States, the Supreme Court threw out the convictions in the “Bridgegate” case involving the controversial closing of lanes on the George Washington Bridge to create traffic problems for the mayor of Fort Lee, N.J., who refused to endorse then-Gov. Chris Christie. The Court observed:
“That requirement, this Court has made clear, prevents these statutes from criminalizing all acts of dishonesty by state and local officials. Some decades ago, courts of appeals often construed the federal fraud laws to “proscribe[] schemes to defraud citizens of their intangible rights to honest and impartial government.” McNally, 483 U. S., at 355. This Court declined to go along. The fraud statutes, we held in McNally, were “limited in scope to the protection of property rights.” Id., at 360. They did not authorize federal prosecutors to “set[] standards of disclosure and good government for local and state officials.” Ibid.”
That is the argument that I raised in the impeachment against the proposed articles of impeachment — supported by a host of experts on MSNBC and CNN as well as Democratic members — that the Ukrainian allegations could be charged as mail and wire fraud as well as crimes like extortion.
What is most disturbing is that, if there was an objection to voting irregularities or fraud, these legislators would be acting under their state constitutional authority. They would be investigated for carrying out their official duties under state law. Many of us can disagree with such objections. (I have stated repeatedly that I do not see the evidence of systemic voting problems to reverse such state results and I have criticized President Trump’s rhetoric). However, when Democrats like Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Cal.) challenged the certification of Ohio’s electoral votes in 2004, no one suggested criminal investigations. Nessel is threatening state legislators that, if they meet to discuss such objections, they might be targets of criminal investigations. That would seem an effort to use the criminal code for the purposes of intimidation or coercion. Imagine if this was U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr threatening Democratic legislators with possible criminal investigation for challenging Trump votes. The media would be apoplectic. Yet, when used against Republicans, major publications and politicians are celebrated for the use of the criminal code for such politically motivated threats.
As with the attacks on Republican lawyers, the threats against Republican legislators has been met with utter silence in the media. Just the familiar sound of crickets.

Rep. Ilhan Omar has ordered the Biden campaign to “ reverse ” President Trump ’ s historic Middle East peace deals as soon as he enters the White House .
According to the radical left-wing congresswoman , Trump ’ s peace deals in the Middle East were actually secret arms deals .

The German government has urged President Trump not to bring U.S. troops back home from Afghanistan .
Members of Angela Merkel ’ s government have argued that putting an end to America ’ s longest war would be too “ hasty.
” According to the globalist regime , President Trump ’ s planned reduction of the American military presence in Afghanistan from 4,500 troops to 2,500 troops by January 15th would endanger peace negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan government .

At its height , Germany deployed 5,000 soldiers to the South Asian country , but now has approximately 1,250 soldiers deployed .

Since the outset of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lost their lives , compared to over 2,400 U.S. military and Defense Department civilians who have died in Afghanistan , with a further 20,721 wounded .

” The Germans do not appear to be considering filling the gap left by a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , however .
The German opposition to a drawdown in Afghanistan comes after NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg vowed to keep NATO forces in the country .
“ The price for leaving too soon , or in an uncoordinated way , could be very high , ” Stoltenberg said on Tuesday , adding : “ We now have under 12,000 NATO troops in Afghanistan , and more than half of these are non-U.S. forces.
” “ We went into Afghanistan together .

It would even allow Britons to get away without wearing a mask , it is thought , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to socially distance .
A source told the Telegraph : ‘ They will allow someone to wander down the streets , and if someone else asks why they are not wearing a mask , they can show the card , letter or an App.
’ It comes after former health secretary Jeremy Hunt threw his backing behind the ‘ freedom pass ’ concept .
His proposal suggests far less testing , however , with calls for Britons to be tested just once a month before being given their certificates .
The former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come up with ‘ proper incentives ’ for people to get tested , self-isolate and receive a vaccine .
His suggestion follows recommendations by behaviour experts advising Downing Street , who said those not infected with the virus should be handed paper wristbands to allow them to return to a more normal life .
The Behavioural Insights team , also known as the ‘ Nudge Unit ’ , also suggested lotteries at testing centres and paying for people ’ s travel if they go to get tested .
Mr Hunt pointed to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ testing scheme , where all the countries residents aged between ten and 65 – almost four million people – were swabbed for the virus over a single weekend .
Those that tested negative were presented with a paper certificate and told they no longer needed to follow rules ordering them to stay home .

The Mail Online reports: The details of the scheme are still being ironed out by officials in Whitehall, who hope it will allow the country to get back to normal next year.
To earn the freedom pass, people will need to be tested regularly and, provided the results come back negative, they will then be given a letter, card or document they can show to people as they move around.
The certificate would be stored on a phone, according to sources, and would allow people to live a relatively normal life until the government’s vaccination programme gets up to the speed.
It would even allow Britons to get away without wearing a mask, it is thought, and visit family and friends without the need to socially distance.
A source told the Telegraph: ‘They will allow someone to wander down the streets, and if someone else asks why they are not wearing a mask, they can show the card, letter or an App.’
It comes after former health secretary Jeremy Hunt threw his backing behind the ‘freedom pass’ concept.
His proposal suggests far less testing, however, with calls for Britons to be tested just once a month before being given their certificates.
The former health secretary has called on ministers to come up with ‘proper incentives’ for people to get tested, self-isolate and receive a vaccine.
His suggestion follows recommendations by behaviour experts advising Downing Street, who said those not infected with the virus should be handed paper wristbands to allow them to return to a more normal life.
The Behavioural Insights team, also known as the ‘Nudge Unit’, also suggested lotteries at testing centres and paying for people’s travel if they go to get tested.
Mr Hunt pointed to the example of Slovakia’s mass coronavirus testing scheme, where all the countries residents aged between ten and 65 – almost four million people – were swabbed for the virus over a single weekend.
Those that tested negative were presented with a paper certificate and told they no longer needed to follow rules ordering them to stay home.
