bonginoreport--2020-11-29--Trump Requests SCOTUS Keep Illegals Out of Redistricting

The Trump administration will press its bid to exclude illegal aliens from the population baseline for awarding House seats on Monday in the Supreme Court , a move that would shift political clout away from states with large undocumented populations .

20-366 Trump v. New York .

The Trump administration will press its bid to exclude illegal aliens from the population baseline for awarding House seats on Monday in the Supreme Court, a move that would shift political clout away from states with large undocumented populations.
President Donald Trump's July order to exclude illegal aliens from the apportionment could be one of his most consequential acts in office. States like California, where approximately 6 percent of the population is undocumented, will lose out on congressional seats and untold millions in federal funds if the administration prevails.
Blue states losing even a handful of seats would make the House's thin Democratic majority even more precarious. Congressional analysts suggest Democrats will lose the House in 2022 on the basis of reapportionment alone, since red states with growing populations are expected to gain seats. But right-leaning states like Florida and Texas could each pick up one seat fewer as a result of the order, according to the Pew Research Center.
The dispute is moving at a fast clip. Census figures are by law due to the White House from Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on Dec. 31. President Trump must transmit a reapportionment to Congress by Jan. 10, 2021. The Constitution requires the government to conduct a census every 10 years.
A three-judge court in New York blocked Trump's order after a coalition of blue states, cities, and civil-rights groups sued the administration. The court said Trump's directive violates the federal census laws. Another court in California went further and said Trump's order violates the Constitution.
The Constitution and a federal statute provide that House seats are awarded based on "the whole number of persons in each state," a key phrase in the case. In court filings, acting solicitor general Jeffrey Wall argues that phrase covers the "inhabitants" of each state. It's reasonable to say a person who "lacks permission to be in this country" is not an inhabitant, Wall wrote, adding that the president has discretion to determine who counts as an inhabitant.
In a 1992 case, the Supreme Court allowed the first Bush administration to include overseas Defense Department personnel in their home state populations for the census. The Court recognized that the president is the "ultimate decision-maker concerning the contents of the decennial census," Wall wrote.
But the justices may not need to get into the census laws to dispense with the case. Wall argues the plaintiffs lack a legal basis, called standing, to bring their challenge. The New York court said Trump's order could deter marginalized groups from answering questions from census field workers, which would hurt the accuracy of the count and harm the plaintiff cities and states. But field data collection ended in October, so the alleged injury is no longer occurring. That could fatally undercut the plaintiffs.
The blue state coalition, led by New York solicitor general Barbara Underwood, counters that the key phrase covers all people "who usually reside here," including illegal aliens. And the census laws also make clear that the reapportionment must be based solely on the bottom-line outcome of the count. The president can't shade certain people out of that final tabulation, Underwood wrote in a response to the administration.
A trio of former Census Bureau chiefs filed a brief supporting the blue states. They say the agency's usual practice going back to the founding is to count all residents, regardless of immigration status. That settled practice should count for a lot, they say.
"The longstanding implementation of the constitutional and statutory provisions at issue here is a practice of the government that represents an exposition of the Constitution," their brief reads.
The government has not developed a precise method for sifting illegal aliens out of the reapportionment baseline. The administration tried to include a citizenship question on census forms, but that move faltered in the face of legal challenges. The president then directed federal agencies to use administrative records to identify non-citizens, but in legal papers the Justice Department conceded that census officials haven't worked out the finer points.
"The Census Bureau is still evaluating the extent to which, as a practical matter, administrative records pertaining to immigration status can be used to identify and exclude illegal aliens from the apportionment population count and is currently formulating a methodology for potentially accomplishing that," the filing reads.
The case is No. 20-366 Trump v. New York.

DORAL, Florida — The political banter that once took place in line for a pork and cheese-filled arepa at El Arepazo restaurant in the heart of South Florida’s Venezuelan community has died down since Nov. 3. But the fear that a socialist sympathizer will enter the White House lingers strong.
“Trump used the idea that the United States would turn into a Venezuela,” Venezuelan American Jorge Luis Gonzalez, 58, told the Washington Examiner in a Spanish-language interview, surrounded by television screens showing unrest and soccer in his home country.
“It’s politics,” he added, of the socialist label that stuck to Biden in South Florida and influenced thousands of votes in Miami-Dade County, helping deliver President Trump a solid win in Florida this year.
Gonzalez said he voted for Trump for different reasons.
“Many of us voted for Trump for all the effort he made to change things in Venezuela,” he said, noting policies such as recognizing National Assembly President Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s leader, increasing sanctions, and ramping up political pressure.
His vote was also based on the pre-COVID economy.
“The economy was good. We were paying less taxes. The only big problem that Trump had was his language, the way he spoke,” he said. “If he was mute, he would have won the election.”

In the hands of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, socialism has been forcefully imposed on the Venezuelan people with a litany of government takeovers that have led to shortages in food and medicine and millions of economic refugees.
Another Venezuelan refugee, 24-year-old Jorge Galicia, told the Washington Examiner in a Spanish-language interview that Biden represents the early signs of socialism that seeped into Venezuela some four decades ago.
That’s when Venezuela first nationalized the state oil company to bankroll government social programs.
“Venezuela began its process of decomposition during the democratic era, when the democratic, progressive society made great political advances,” said Galicia, a student activist who was forced to go underground in Caracas before entering the U.S. on a student visa at Arizona State University.
Before the election, he toured a handful of states sponsored by The Fund for American Studies, telling students his story and warning them about the slippery slope of socialism in his country.
“A lot of these programs were not sustainable long term. Indebtedness problems began, and society became dependent on the social programs,” he said.
“The people in South Florida know very well the consequences of applying the socialist model,” he said. “What bothers me with Biden is his age, and as his capacity to govern deteriorates, it will open the doors to a presidency of Kamala Harris, who is much closer to the most radical ideas of the Democratic Party.”
The argument worked, Florida political analyst and University of South Florida professor Susan MacManus told the Washington Examiner.
“They're a sizable group,” MacManus said of the estimated 60,000 voting Venezuelan Americans in South Florida.
“One of the things that the anti-socialism message did was to build and cement a really strong and large coalition in South Florida,” she said. “Cubans, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, Colombians, and even Hondurans — people that come [from] or had ties to countries where socialism is a big reason their family came here. It was a very real message to them, not just an ideological debate.”
In the end, Biden failed to deflect the socialist label and Trump made inroads to expand his base with Florida’s diverse Latino population, MacManus said.
For the young asylum seeker, whose legal status is still in process, a Biden presidency, for her and many in her situation, likely means an easier path to remain in the U.S., she admits.
But, fear of socialism and a desire for a continued U.S. hard line on Venezuela outweighs even her hopes to remain here.
“There is a fear that they will complete the socialist promises and no longer try to help the Venezuelan people,” she said of the Democratic Party. “These are the two aspects, even though they don’t connect.”

bonginoreport--2020-11-30--Biden’s OMB Pick Promoted Russiagate Hysteria

Neera Tanden , president of the Center for American Progress , is Joe Biden 's nominee to head the Office of Management and Budget .
The only problem is that she 's a conspiracy theorist , who as recently as Aug. 2020 , promoted the Russia collusion hoax that Trump teamed up with Russia to skew and steal the 2016 election .
She said unequivocally that Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election .
Though this supposition has been widely disproven , and shown to actually be a narrative constructed by leftist operatives in the Democratic party , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tanden is one of those .
In 2019 , Tanden used the Russia collusion hoax as a means to deflect from concerns over Hillary Clinton 's notorious email server issues , which interestingly has been alleged to be primarily why the collusion hoax was manufactured in the first place .
Tanden said `` I know that Russia and other forces would love us to have a debate .
This is exactly what they want .
They want us to have a debate about the internal structure of Hillary 's campaign , what 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 'm just not gon na play that , I 'm sorry .
`` The reality here is that , as Marco Rubio said , we have a Russian government , a foreign government , trying to essentially impact this election .

`` Every act he 's taken is to undermine this investigation , '' she said , and led the crowd in a chant of `` shame . ''

Even after the Steele Dossier was proven to be false , and was the only `` evidence '' upon which FISA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was `` mostly proven to be true . ''

At the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee hearing on Tuesday, a woman who worked as a contractor for Dominion Voting Systems came forward to testify. She said that what she witnessed was "complete fraud."
Speaking at the Binsfield Office Building in Lansing, Melissa Carone was welcomed by state senator Ed Bloom. A resident of Wayne County, Mich., she has a background in IT and cyber security.
Carone said that she was contracted by a temp staffing service to work with Dominion Voting Systems and worked from Nov. 3 through the next day. She said that she was "initially supposed to be working at the Department of Elections, that was an order from Dominion Voting Systems."
"What I witnessed at the TDS Center was complete fraud," Carone said. "The whole 27 hours I was there. There were batches of ballots being ran through the tabulating machines numerous times, being counted eight to ten times, I watched this with my own eyes. I was there to assist with IT. These people on night shift, there were four people on night shift, one of whom I've known for over 20 years. He approached me and said he has absolutely zero training whatsoever."
She said this was a "contradiction" of what others had claimed, who had said that they had "so much training." Carone said that "These people had no idea what they were doing."
As regards the adjudication process, Carone said that she was "under the impression 100 percent that all of these workers were in on this. There was not a single ballot that the whole night, the whole 27 hours that I was there, that was for Donald Trump, not one, that is scary, there is no reason for that."
"There was something going on at that Department of Elections," she said, "and it's clearly something that is very illegal, and I am grateful to God that I didn't go there."
Upon questioning, she clarified that her position was to be a temporary worker for Dominion. She said that there was a "big data loss," as well, on Nov. 3.
She was asked as to the basis for her allegation that ballots were counted multiple times, and she said: "So the tabulating machines, when a ballot jams, it puts up an error, it will say discard or recount, so when it puts up that error, when a jam occurs, the correct way to go about it is to discard the whole batch, to take the ones that have already been tabulated, put them back into a pile, put the one that jammed on top, discard, discard the whole thing, then rescan them. They were not discarding, so they were just rescanning, rescanning, rescanning, counting ballots eight to ten ballots, just recounting them. They had absolutely no idea what they were doing."
To clarify, she said "If you do not discard it, it is recounting it... Say ballot 25 had an issue, you had already went through 24 ballots, so you're gonna put them back all in a pile and you're just going to rescan it, so you're counting that 24 again."
McBroom looked for clarity as to what happened to the ballots, saying that after ballots were counted they were meant to be put into locked boxes. Carone said that this was not happening, and that instead those steel boxes were being used "for barriers for the poll watchers so they couldn't get close."

That training was for one hour on Nov. 2 at a hotel, and was done with a tabulating machine and an adjudication machine. She was given a binder as to how everything worked. She worked with two contract employees and three Dominion employees.
"I saw the van come in at 4:30 [am] full of ballots," she said.
She was asked about the multiple counting of the ballots, if vote totals reflected the multiple counting of votes. Carone said "why do you think the poll books were so off."
Sen. Jeff Irwin (D-18th District), asked Carone "if someone were to go and run the same ballot over and over and over again, that would end up showing up as a massive discrepancy—"

bonginoreport--2020-12-01--AG Barr Reveals He Appointed Special Counsel to Continue Russia Probe Investigation in October

WASHINGTON – Attorney General William Barr has given extra protection to the prosecutor he appointed to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia probe , granting him authority to complete the work without being easily fired .
Barr told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he had appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham as a special counsel in October under the same federal regulations that governed special counsel Robert Mueller in the original Russia probe .

Barr decided `` the best thing to do would be to appoint them under the same regulation that covered Bob @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team some assurance that they ’ d be able to complete their work regardless of the outcome of the election , '' he said Tuesday .
The current investigation , a criminal probe , had begun very broadly but has since “ narrowed considerably ” and now “ really is focused on the activities of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation within the FBI , ” Barr said .

WASHINGTON – Attorney General William Barr has given extra protection to the prosecutor he appointed to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, granting him authority to complete the work without being easily fired.
Barr told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he had appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham as a special counsel in October under the same federal regulations that governed special counsel Robert Mueller in the original Russia probe. He said Durham’s investigation has been narrowing to focus more on the conduct of FBI agents who worked on the Russia investigation, known by the code name of Crossfire Hurricane.
Under the regulations, a special counsel can be fired only by the attorney general and for specific reasons such as misconduct, dereliction of duty or conflict of interest. An attorney general must document such reasons in writing.
The FBI in July 2016 began investigating whether the Trump campaign was coordinating with Russia to sway the outcome of the presidential election. That probe was inherited nearly a year later by special counsel Mueller, who ultimately did not find enough evidence to charge Trump or any of his associates with conspiring with Russia.
The early months of the investigation, when agents obtained secret surveillance warrants targeting a former Trump campaign aide, have long been scrutinized by the president and other critics of the probe who say the FBI made significant errors. An inspector general report last year backed up that criticism but did not find evidence that mistakes in the surveillance applications and other problems with the probe were driven by partisan bias.
Barr decided "the best thing to do would be to appoint them under the same regulation that covered Bob Mueller, to provide Durham and his team some assurance that they’d be able to complete their work regardless of the outcome of the election," he said Tuesday.
President-elect Joe Biden's transition team didn't immediately comment on the appointment.
The current investigation, a criminal probe, had begun very broadly but has since “narrowed considerably” and now “really is focused on the activities of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation within the FBI,” Barr said. He said he expects Durham would detail whether any additional prosecutions will be brought and make public a report of the investigation’s findings.
Durham's investigation has resulted in one prosecution so far: a guilty plea by a former FBI lawyer who admitted altering an email.
In an Oct. 19 order, obtained by The Associated Press, Barr says Durham is authorized "to investigate whether any federal official, employee or any person or entity violated the law in connection with the intelligence, counter-intelligence or law enforcement activities” directed at the 2016 presidential campaigns, anyone associated with the campaigns or the Trump administration.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said the appointment erodes trust in the Justice Department, and he questioned how it was allowed under the special counsel rules.
“And we should not lose sight of the larger picture: in the waning days of the Trump administration, the attorney general has once again used the powers of his office to settle old scores for the president," Nadler said.
The special counsel rules say the appointed person should be outside of government, but Barr pointed to specific provisions in his memo that would allow him to go around that rule.
A senior Justice Department official told the AP that although the order details that it is “including but not limited to Crossfire Hurricane and the investigation of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III,” the Durham probe has not expanded.
The official said that line specifically relates to FBI personnel who worked on the Russia investigation before the May 2017 appointment of Mueller, a critical area of scrutiny for the Justice Department inspector general, which identified a series of errors and omissions in surveillance applications targeting former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
The focus on the FBI, rather than the CIA and the intelligence community, suggests that Durham may have moved past some of the more incendiary claims that Trump supporters had hoped would yield allegations of misconduct, or even crimes — namely, the question of how intelligence agencies reached their conclusion that Russia had interfered in the 2016 election.
Republicans lauded the appointment. Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham said it was “obvious the system failed” and he concurred with the appointment of a special counsel to continue the investigation.


bonginoreport--2020-12-01--AG Barr Claims No Evidence of Fraud That Would Change Election – Trump Team Responds

Attorney General William Barr issued a statement in which he claimed that there is n't enough evidence of fraud to overturn election results as of yet .

Trump 's lawyers were quick to respond to Barr 's statement with the following : “ With all due respect to the Attorney General , there hasn ’ t been any semblance of a Department of Justice investigation .
We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six states , which they have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results .
And the DHS and DOJ have looked into that , and so far , we have n't seen anything to substantiate that , '' said Barr , presumably referring to Sidney Powell , a pro-Trump lawyer who however is not part of the Trump team .
`` There 's a growing tendency to use the criminal justice system as sort of a default fix-all , and people do n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Justice to come in and 'investigate , ' '' continued Barr .
`` Most claims of fraud are very particularized to a particular set of circumstances or actors or conduct .
They are not systemic allegations and .
