thelibertydaily--2020-02-21--Priests For Life Demand Right To Pass Moral Judgement On Abortion

Last Updated on February 21, 2020
Father Frank Pavone from Priests for Life called upon Christians to live out their faith and choose politicians who support religious freedom, citing his right to pass moral judgment especially upon the topic of abortion.
Pavone called upon Christians to, “instead of focusing upon their failings, focus on the policies that prevent us from living out our faith.”
Pavone is known for attacking Democrats on abortion:
Joe Biden’s new campaign ad this week focuses on his #Catholic Faith. He goes to mass, says the rosary. It brings him solace. We’re happy for you, Joe. Isaiah 1 has a message. “If you lift up your hands in prayer, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood.“#abortion — Fr. Frank Pavone (@frfrankpavone) February 21, 2020
“Some in the church have decided to let their freedom be taken away. Not me!” Pavone said in a Facebook video.
Pavone is the National Director of Priests for Life, President of National Pro-life Religious Council, Pastoral Director of Rachel’s Vineyard, and the Pastoral Director of Silent No More Awareness Campaign.
Priests for Life is a group, whose mission it is to “activate the church to end abortion.”
Pavone said, “Faithful religious freedom means that Catholics need to be free to teach and to live in their faith. If a politician comes along to snuff out the freedom of the church- we have the right to say that is wrong. We have freedom to follow God’s moral law. There are politicians, called the Democrat party, who want to take that away.”
In the videotaped remarks, Pavone said that former presidential candidate Hillary R. Clinton called on people to change their faith. He also called out Former Democrat President Barack H. Obama.
“This is war. I am going to DC to join with people who are going to push for pro-life in this year’s election. Trump does live up to Christian values. A bad tree can not bear good fruit,” Pavone said.
“I would rather have a president who might not live out my religious faith, than one who tries to make me stop living mine,” Pravone said.

Trump was the first sitting president to address the March for Life, the annual march against abortion in Washington, D.C.
Abortion will be a key issue in the 2020 campaign, “an issue of vast importance to a core part of his base: conservative, evangelical Christians” according to The Hill.
Addressing the March for Life in January, President Donald Trump said, “Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House.”

Exposed: Biased Obama Judge in Roger Stone Case, Amy Berman Jackson, Taints “Truth” With Political Revenge In Court Tirade

Inmate imparts own conception of justice onto two convicted pedos

Last Updated on February 21, 2020
Judge Amy Berman Jackson went on a tirade in court, inserting political opinion into legal argumentation ahead of announcing the sentence for Roger Stone Thursday, drawing calls of hypocrisy over what many are calling a distorted concept of the truth.
Before capitulating to President Donald J. Trump over the length of time recommended in sentencing for Stone by out-going and humiliated DOJ members who wanted a 9-year sentence, Berman Jackson went on a lengthy hypocritical tirade about her version of the “truth” for the sake of reporters, even while enforcing a long time gag order on Stone, himself.
Stone has been prevented by court order from commenting on his court case, however, that gag order does not include Berman Jackson herself, or Berman Jackson’s friends in the Resistance media, from commenting on the case on major cable media networks.
Berman Jackson’s one-sided show trial in the news media ultimately ended up discrediting Stone widely.
Rachel Weiner, a reporter for the Washington Post posted a series of tweets Thursday, quoting Berman Jackson.
"The dismay and disgust at the defendant's belligerence should transcend party," she added. She also defended "jurors who served with integrity under difficult circumstances." — Rachel Weiner (@rachelweinerwp) February 20, 2020
Curiously, Berman Jackson inserted herself into the story about the corrupted jury foreman, Tomeka Hart, who outed herself on social media as a strong opponent of Trump and a highly active Democrat activist.
As of Friday, Berman Jackson still hasn’t ordered an investigation into the jury foreman but she did take the opportunity to redirect insert her opinion, by giving her version of the story.
The foreman on the Roger Stone jury was posting Politico links during the trial Does this mean she was reading Politico during the trial, which covered the case extensively? https://t.co/LzbZiKVmiH — Neanderthal Scholar Poso (@JackPosobiec) February 13, 2020
https://twitter.com/alx/status/1230740058115727360?s=20
Berman Jackson also admitted into the record letters from people asking for stiff punishment for Stone. But as National File uncovered Berman Jackson did not accept the affidavit of William Binney, a 32 year NSA employee who swore that based on his investigation and professional experience there was no “Russian Hack”.
Letters described as “hysterical” were entered into the record by Berman Jackson.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson is now granting leave to file hysterical letters in support of sentencing Roger Stone. Letters that attack AG Barr w/ conspiracy theories. Calling the US an "autocracy" and "banana republic" with "Putin laughing all the way" Shameful. pic.twitter.com/8swPqBFnf0 — Techno Fog (@Techno_Fog) February 19, 2020
Judge Jackson is granting Leave to File motions on citizen letters IN SUPPORT of the toughest sentencing possible against #RogerStone yet will NOT allow Leave to File motions on those NOT in support of these tough sentencing standards… Bias on full display in the DC Circuit… https://t.co/5OOy5S1NpR — Dr. Brian K. Fontenot II (@BrianKFontenot) February 20, 2020
“I have read and I appreciate all the letters and I’ve considered all of the sentencing materials,” Washington Post reported that Berman Jackson said. But that is not true.
But Berman Jackson did not accept all letters, as this tweet reveals.
https://twitter.com/shawnstewartKC/status/1230237616534097921?s=20
Further complicating Berman Jackson’s obvious abuse of power, she insisted there was damage where the “victim” insisted there was not.
Even though Randy Credico had asked for leniency on Stone for what is a cornerstone of the charges against Stone, that he threatened Credico, Berman Jackson speculated that plea was insignificant and Credico had been pressured somehow.
“The defendant referred to this as banter, which it hardly is, judge says quoting from some of the profane texts from Stone to Credico. Of Credico’s letter to the court saying he didn’t feel threatened: I believe his level of concern may have changed over time,” the Washington Post reporter reported Berman Jackson said.
And most shocking of all, about Berman Jackson’s behavior, is the claim that after three years of massive government investigations turned up nothing at all.
Jackon said, “He [Roger Stone] was not prosecuted for standing up for the president; he was prosecuted for covering up for the president,” sounding like the host of a resistance media talk show, unwilling to investigate what she feels Trump is guilty of doing, by refusing to look at Binney’s expert testimony.
National File will continue to investigate and report on this story.

thelibertydaily--2020-02-22--Triggered: Combative Anderson Cooper Goes Berserk During Interview With Trump-Pardoned Democrat Rod

Triggered: Combative Anderson Cooper Goes Berserk During Interview With Trump-Pardoned Democrat Rod Blagojevich, Says ‘Bullsh*t’ on National TV

`` ... you 're creating a whole new alternate universe of facts ... ''

CNN's Anderson Cooper excoriated Rod Blagojevich, the disgraced former governor of Illinois who had his sentence commuted by President Donald Trump, in a contentious interview on Friday.
Blagojevich defended his statements that he was wrongly convicted, but Cooper dismantled him and ultimately proclaimed his excuses to be "bullsh*t."
"What's sad is that you actually hadn't learned that when you mattered, when you actually were the governor, you talk about working for criminal justice reform, there's a lot of people in Chicago, there's a lot of people in Illinois, who actually like spit up when you say that," said Cooper.
"Because when you were actually in power, and when you were actually governor, and you could have helped thousands of people with clemency cases, you blew it off!" he added, pointing out that he was sued for not even reviewing clemency requests during his tenure as governor.
"So it's a little ironic, and frankly a little sad and pathetic and hypocritical, you talking about commuting," continued Cooper. "But you ignored a whole hell of a lot of other people who were hoping you might give them clemency, when you actually mattered."
Blagojevich responded that he didn't know how corrupt the criminal system was until he was convicted, and then tried to make excuses about why he didn't review those clemency requests.
"You do have an obligation to at least admit what you did wrong, and you refuse to do that, and you're creating a whole new alternate universe of facts," Cooper exclaimed.
"And that may be big in politics today but it's still frankly just bullsh*t," he concluded.
Cooper also rejected outright Blagojevich's suggestion that they work on criminal justice reform together.
"I'd be happy to work with people on criminal justice reform, but I wouldn't work with you!" said Cooper.
Critics of the president were incensed that he used his clemency power to help a friend of his who had appeared on "The Apprentice."
Here's the fiery Blagojevich interview:

There are bad actors on @ @ @ @ @ anything for their own personal gain , and we need to come together as Americans @ @ @ @ @ hold everyone responsible accountable .
”

Federal agents have arrested Arthur Dam in connection with a hacking spree that disrupted the 2018 Democratic California primary that ultimately nominated Katie Hill, according to a new criminal complaint.
Dam, in the criminal complaint, is linked directly to the Hill campaign. Hill won the general election in California’s 25th District and then later resigned from Congress amid controversy.
“Dam was found to be connected to the cyber attacks through subscriber information, IP addresses, geolocation history, and open sources, including through his employer and his wife, K.O., who worked for one of the Victim’s opponents,” the complaint reads.
Dam’s wife is Kelsey O’Hara, Hill’s fundraiser during the campaign and her district director after she won office. O’Hara was also the subject of a sexual remark made by Hill and caught on tape by Vice News in 2018. In Hill’s Federal Election Commission records, she lists a $500 in-kind contribution from Dam on March 25, 2018, for “graphic design and website security consultation.”

During the campaign, the websites of Hill’s opponents, Democrats Jess Phoenix and Bryan Caforio, who was supported by Justice Democrats, were both attacked, though Hill’s never was, raising suspicions at the time that Hill’s campaign was behind them. One major attack on Caforio’s campaign website came at a crucial moment, just an hour before the biggest debate of the primary, the complaint notes. Hill eventually won the California primary by fewer than 3,000 votes.
The FBI launched a probe that zeroed in on the Hill campaign in 2019, according to FBI correspondence reviewed by The Intercept. Hill did not immediately respond for comment. The FBI traced the hacking to an Amazon Web Services account tied to the email address preatorian_@hotmail.com, though the credit card used to pay for the service was listed under Dam. The Hotmail account had been created in 2002 using the subscriber name “Arthur Slam.” Dam also used the Hotmail account as the recovery email for his own Gmail account. “I’m absolutely shocked and saddened to learn today that Katie Hill’s campaign associates hacked my campaign in order to help her advance through the primary,” Caforio told The Intercept. “This should serve as a reminder that Russia is not the only threat to our democracy. There are bad actors on all sides who will do anything for their own personal gain, and we need to come together as Americans to defend our country and hold everyone responsible accountable.”
Hill’s campaign was the subject of unusual national attention during her campaign, including a Vice News documentary and a Rolling Stone article. On March 3, the 25th Congressional District will hold a special election to replace Hill, who resigned in October 2019.

The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children stated flatly that "the vast majority of the offenders are male."The, in a study of male sex offenders against children, found that one-third of the offenders directed their sexual activity against males. And thefound that homosexual pedophiles commit about one-third of the total number of sex offenses against children.This fact is enormously disturbing. Homosexuals comprise just two percent of the population, yet are responsible for 33% of all instances of child sexual abuse. They offend against children at 16 times the rate of the normal population, further evidence that homosexuality is hardly a benign variant to heterosexuality.The, in a study of 229 convicted child molesters, found that "eighty-six percent of offenders against males described themselves as homosexual or bisexual."Thus it comes as no surprise to discover that research into the priesthood scandal in the Catholic Church reveals that 81% of the victims of clergy abuse are young boys. The Harrisburg Pennsylvania Diocese filed for bankruptcy yesterday, after paying out $12 million to 106 victims of abuse at the hands of pedophile priests. It has less than $10 million in assets and $100 million in liabilities. Homosexual pedophiles may bring down not only the Boy Scouts but the Catholic church in America.Both organizations were lax in screening out homosexuals to prevent them from having ready access to young boys, and the bill for that failure is coming due. Jesus said (Luke 17:1-2), "Stumbling blocks are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come. It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble." These organizations are discovering that Jesus meant exactly what he said.Follow me on Facebook at "Focal Point" and on Twitter @bryanjfischer Host of "Focal Point" on American Family Radio, 1:05 pm CT, M-F www.afr.net © Bryan Fischer

'We remained willing to produce her as soon as police wanted her to be produced , ' her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she was arrested and media was calling us all day .
It seems like it was a made for media event at the taxpayer 's expense . '
Hempey argued that Vallow 's bail bond be lowered to at least $ 10,000 , saying that she was not a flight risk and did not have a passport .
The judge denied the request - pointing out that she had already absconded from Idaho where the charges were filed and that she is accused of obstructing justice .
The prosecution cited charges that imply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and will engage in illegal activity .
'She has no ties to this island , apart from a rented condo , ' the prosecution argued .

She revealed that they knew Lori 's arrest 'was coming , ' they 'just did n't know when ' . '
I know they [ police ] have put so much work into this .
'They 've worked through the holidays and I know the public does n't think they have but we have been working with them and we know what was going on , well what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
'But we did not know the arrest was coming today .
I felt like it was going to come in the next week , ' Larry added .
They were then asked about what their upcoming plans are .
'We 'll never give up trying to find JJ and Tylee .
That wo n't end , ' Larry said , with Kay adding that the 'next chapter in our lives will be looking at the law surrounding missing children ' .
When asked by a reporter from what they would say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : 'Hey honey , you better start talking now and maybe you can save a year or two off your sentence you 're about to have when you go to court . '
It was n't until the end of the five-minute clip that the couple made a plea for Lori to tell them where JJ and Tylee are .
'Lori tell us where the kids are .
Please , God tell us where the kids are and let this work out through the system , ' Larry said .
'You 've had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and tell us where they are , ' Kay added .
Lori 's arrest comes just two days after she and her husband Chad were seen returning to the island of Kauai on Tuesday after their trip to Maui .
The couple - who were married on November 5 - fled to Hawaii in mid-December after leaving Idaho when police started to question them about the whereabouts of JJ and Tylee .
The search for JJ and Tylee was launched in late November after Rexburg police conducted a welfare check ordered by concerned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to JJ , who is autistic , in months .
Both children were last seen in September , but were never reported missing by their mother or stepfather .
When officers first went to Lori 's home in Idaho on November 26 , she told them that JJ was visiting relatives in Arizona - which investigators now say was a lie .
Officers returned the following day and found that Lori and Chad had fled from the home .

Lori and Chad became the target of a national media firestorm with the revelations that police are also investigating the mysterious deaths of both of their previous spouses and Lori 's brother , as well as family members ' claims that they are members of a dangerous doomsday cult .
A close friend of Lori 's recently revealed that she has been trying to stay out of the public eye as she waits for the 'media hype ' to die down .
When the search for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Lori and Chad issued a statement on their behalf in December , saying they love their son and daughter and look forward to addressing 'allegations once they have moved beyond speculation and rumor ' .
The search for JJ and Tylee uncovered a web of mysterious deaths surrounding Lori and Chad that has baffled investigators for weeks .

Charles and Lori had gotten into an argument when the father came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Chandler .
Lori 's brother intervened and shot Charles dead .
She then moved with her children to Idaho , where Chad lived , in August .
Police initially determined that he acted in self defense - but the case was reopened during the multi-state search for JJ and Tylee .
There are also suspicions surrounding the death of Chad 's wife , Tammy Daybell .
She was found dead at the couple 's home in Salem , Idaho on October 18 .
An obituary stated that Tammy passed away in her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ruled as natural after Chad reportedly declined an autopsy .
Investigators reopened the investigation into her death after learning that JJ and Tylee were missing , as their mother had married Chad just two weeks after Tammy died .

Kay Woodcock - the sister of Charles Vallow who is also JJ 's grandmother - issued a statement in December in which she described how Lori turned into a 'monster ' after she met Chad in 2018 .
Chad , 51 , is a prolific author of 25 books focusing on doomsday scenarios and near-death experiences .

Lori reportedly began reading Chad 's writing while she was living in Hawaii with Charles , JJ and Tylee between 2014 and 2017 .
It 's unclear how or when exactly Lori and Chad met , but family members say it was sometime around June 2018 .

Retired FBI agent says police took so long to arrest 'cult mom ' Lori Vallow over the disappearance of her children because they were likely 'piecing together a larger puzzle ' of death , Doomsday cults and secret marriages A retired FBI agent has explained authorities may have taken so long to arrest Lori Vallow for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be building a bigger case against her that addresses the suspicious deaths of other people in her circle and her apparent fascination with Doomsday culture .
On Friday , after Vallow was arrested in Kauai on an arrest warrant issued by authorities in Idaho , questions surfaced over why it had taken the police so long to take her into custody and what would happen next .
Vallow 's two children , JJ , seven , and Tylee , 17 , have not been seen since September .
She fled to Hawaii with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after they vanished and has ignored judge 's orders and pleas from the kids ' extended family to produce them .
On Thursday , she was finally taken into custody on a charge of disobeying the court order , desertion and nonsupport of dependent children .
Frank Montoya Jr , who retired from the FBI in 2016 after serving since 1991 , explained to DailyMail.com on Friday morning that the authorities in Idaho had been forced to hold off until there was any evidence of a crime which , in Vallow 's case @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both children remain completely unaccounted for .
'What 's frustrating is the kids are missing .
'When the parent herself is not cooperating.. it is n't enough to arrest them .
'What 's the charge ?
If it 's just child endangerment and she refuses to talk , how do you prove the children have been harmed or more tragically if they 're dead ?
You ca n't . '
A judge and jury have no choice but to say there 's no evidence to hold her in cases like this you 'll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Montoya went on to explain what will likely happen now to Vallow .
He also speculated over the various strains of investigation the police in Idaho now have to look at .
'It 's a combination of things that the kids are still missing and the fact she 's in Hawaii and they want to talk to her in Idaho .
She can either waive or contest - if she contests it then there 'll be a hearing , Idaho authorities will present their case .
There 's little chance that the judge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] there 's a number of things they 're working through here ; the death of her husband , Daybell 's former wife , for instance .
They 're exhuming her body to perform an autopsy .
'He has not been arrested , interestingly .
Will he accompany her to Idaho or stay in Hawaii or move on ? '
He added that she likely will not be quizzed over the whereabouts of Lori and JJ until she is back in Idaho and that even then , police may want to hold her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ possible to try to break any resolve she may have .
'They 'll attempt to talk to her - of course she can invoke her right to silence .
'They have leverage - even though there 's a lot of craziness , suspicious behavior and strange stuff , this is not a hardened criminal .
She 's never spent a few nights in jail .
'What 's the prospect of going to jail for 10-14 years .
It remains to be seen whether she will cooperate .
'After spending time in a jail @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bring her to Idaho and let her sit in an Idaho jail .
'My guess is that they 'll wait until they gather back to Idaho , ' he said .
He added it will likely not emerge what has happened until her arrest warrant is unsealed .
'This is just another step - this is just another step , ' he said .
Another theory he says police may have been worried about is that Vallow and Daybell were obsessed with the Doomsday culture and resurrection .
'The backup in all this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bit of a time crunch .
'People like this - what exactly is their intent ?
Part of these end of the world scenarios is that everyone gets resurrected .
Are her kids the test case of that ?
Until she starts talking who knows ... maybe this is the step to get her to start talking , ' he said .
Lori and Charles ' marriage deteriorated rapidly as she became more and more involved with Preparing a People , and he filed for divorce and for custody of JJ in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he claimed that Lori had become 'obsessed ' with doomsday and believed she was a reincarnated god sent to Earth to help prepare for the second coming of Christ .
'Mother has told Father [ Charles ] that she is sealed [ eternally married ] to the ancient Book of Mormon prophet Moroni and that she has lived numerous lives on numerous planets prior to this current life , ' the documents state .
'Mother also informed Father that she is a translated being who can not taste death sent by God to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'Mother believes that she is receiving spiritual revelations and visions to help her gather and prepare those chosen to live in the New Jerusalem after the Great War as prophesied in the book of Revelations . '
Charles also claimed in the petition that Lori had threatened to kill him .
During a January 29 phone conversation , Lori allegedly told Charles that she was a 'God assigned to carry out the work of the 144,000 at Christ 's second coming in July 2020 and that if Father [ Charles ] got in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ murder him ' , the documents state .
Charles ' sister Kay said she kept in close contact with him during the divorce proceedings , and that he would often call her in hysterics .
She said she suspected Lori and Chad were having an affair at the time and expressed concern over the fact that Lori 's three previous husbands had died . '
[ Husband ] three and [ husband ] four are dead .
Five ?
He 's next .
How he 's gon na go ?
I do n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with my eyes closed , ' she said .
No information is known about Lori 's first two husbands .
Her third husband and Tylee 's father , Joseph Ryan , died of an apparent heart attack in April 2018 .
Amid the divorce proceedings Charles was granted an order of protection against Lori - who he claimed had drained $ 35,000 out of their bank account .
When Charles tried to serve the order of protection to Lori , he could n't find her .
The family says she disappeared for nearly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relatives ' care .
Charles revoked his petition for divorce about a month after filing it and moved to Texas .
Charles predicts Lori or her brother will kill him Attorneys who represented Charles in the divorce have spoken out , claiming that their client had predicted either Lori or her brother Alex would kill him .
Lawyer Steven Ellsworth told FOX10 that Charles had told him : ' I 'm afraid I 'm gon na be killed , and I know who 's gon na do it . '
I 'm telling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something happens to me , I wan na make sure you let everyone know that something happens , I 'm killed , that it 's my wife Lori and her brother , Alex Cox . '
Five months later , his prediction came true .
Charles went to Lori 's home in Chandler , Arizona , to pick up JJ on July 10 .
When he arrived , the pair got into an argument that turned physical , according to Lori 's brother Alex Cox .
Cox , who was visiting for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to intervene when Charles hit him in the back of the head with a baseball bat .
He told investigators that he shot Charles twice in the chest to 'stop him ' .
The Chandler Police Department recently released redacted body camera footage of Alex and Lori speaking to officers outside the home directly after the shooting .
Lori calmly answered questions about her relationship with Charles , while Alex appeared much more frazzled as officers repeatedly had to ask him to repeat parts of the story .
He explained how the incident @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fight between Charles and Lori , saying : ' [ Charles ] told me not to interfere with them anymore or I 'd pay . '
He claimed that his niece , Tylee , retrieved a baseball bat from her bedroom to protect her mother from Charles but that Charles grabbed it from her and started hitting him instead .
As he ran to his room to retrieve his gun , Lori and the children fled out of the home . '
I told him to put the bat down and he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' I said , ' I want you to put the bat tat down and he would n't .
He came at me with the bat again so I shot him to stop him .
That was it . '
Two family members and Charles ' attorneys have disputed that account .
'We knew immediately that was wrong , ' Charles ' sister Kay said at a press conference this month .
'It was a setup . '
Charles ' oldest son said he does n't believe his father would have gotten violent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I knew my dad was the most passive person .
He hated arguing with people .
He 'd never been in a fight , he was not an aggressive person in any way .
I do n't believe it at all , ' the son said .
Lawyer Taylor Lawson told the outlet : 'We knew that this was n't an accident .
This was n't self-defense . '

A new mugshot for Lori Vallow was issued after she was booked into the county jail after her first court appearance over the disappearance of her children. She will remain on $5 million bail
'Cult' mom Lori Vallow will remain on $5 million bail, a judge ruled at her first court appearance after she was arrested in Hawaii over the disappearance of her children.
Vallow was taken into custody on Thursday and charged with desertion, months after the disappearance of her children, Tylee, 17, and JJ, 7, who were last seen in September.
She fled to Hawaii from Idaho with her husband Chad Daybell in December after police began to question them about the whereabouts of JJ and Tylee.
Her husband Chad Daybell sat in the public gallery during the hearing. When he arrived at court in Kauai ahead of the hearing, he refused to answer questions from reporters over the children's disappearance.
Vallow's defense team asked for her bail to be lowered and claimed that she was not a flight risk.
After pictures of the moment she was arrested at her rented apartment emerged, her attorney argued that she should not have been arrested publicly.
'We remained willing to produce her as soon as police wanted her to be produced,' her attorney Dan Hempey said.
'Instead, she was arrested and media was calling us all day. It seems like it was a made for media event at the taxpayer's expense.'

She revealed that they knew Lori's arrest 'was coming,' they 'just didn't know when'.
'I know they [police] have put so much work into this.
'They've worked through the holidays and I know the public doesn't think they have but we have been working with them and we know what was going on, well what they could tell us,' Kay said.
'But we did not know the arrest was coming today. I felt like it was going to come in the next week,' Larry added.
They were then asked about what their upcoming plans are.
'We'll never give up trying to find JJ and Tylee. That won't end,' Larry said, with Kay adding that the 'next chapter in our lives will be looking at the law surrounding missing children'.
When asked by a reporter from what they would say to Lori right now, Kay responded: 'Hey honey, you better start talking now and maybe you can save a year or two off your sentence you're about to have when you go to court.'
It wasn't until the end of the five-minute clip that the couple made a plea for Lori to tell them where JJ and Tylee are.
'Lori tell us where the kids are. Please, God tell us where the kids are and let this work out through the system,' Larry said.
'You've had this long enough let's end this and tell us where they are,' Kay added.
Lori's arrest comes just two days after she and her husband Chad were seen returning to the island of Kauai on Tuesday after their trip to Maui.
The couple - who were married on November 5 - fled to Hawaii in mid-December after leaving Idaho when police started to question them about the whereabouts of JJ and Tylee.
The search for JJ and Tylee was launched in late November after Rexburg police conducted a welfare check ordered by concerned relatives who said they hadn't spoken to JJ, who is autistic, in months.
Both children were last seen in September, but were never reported missing by their mother or stepfather.
When officers first went to Lori's home in Idaho on November 26, she told them that JJ was visiting relatives in Arizona - which investigators now say was a lie.
Annie Cushing, JJ's aunt, said on Friday she hoped the arrest leads to finding him and Tylee
Shortly after Lori was arrested, Larry and Kay Woodcock, the grandparents of JJ (pictured together) spoke to KHON 2 and said that they are 'very, very happy' that Lori has been taken into custody
Officers returned the following day and found that Lori and Chad had fled from the home.
Police have said Lori and Chad have lied about the children's whereabouts and even about their very existence, with Chad allegedly telling one person that Lori had no kids, and Lori allegedly telling another person that her daughter had died more than a year earlier.
On Tuesday, photos of the couple on Tuesday showed them standing at a Hertz counter at the Kahului Airport around 2pm.
They were then seen sitting in their seats as the plane prepared to takeoff.
Passengers and airport employees told EastIdahoNews.com that the couple remained quiet and kept to themselves.
According to the news site, a police officer also came to the gate to verify that the couple were on the flight.

Police say the couple have refused to cooperate with investigators and have repeatedly lied about where the children (pictured) are
Lori and Chad became the target of a national media firestorm with the revelations that police are also investigating the mysterious deaths of both of their previous spouses and Lori's brother, as well as family members' claims that they are members of a dangerous doomsday cult.
A close friend of Lori's recently revealed that she has been trying to stay out of the public eye as she waits for the 'media hype' to die down.
When the search for the children started in December, an attorney for Lori and Chad issued a statement on their behalf in December, saying they love their son and daughter and look forward to addressing 'allegations once they have moved beyond speculation and rumor'.
The search for JJ and Tylee uncovered a web of mysterious deaths surrounding Lori and Chad that has baffled investigators for weeks.
Lori's estranged husband Charles Vallow, who was shot dead by her brother Alex Cox in Arizona on July 10.
Charles and Lori had gotten into an argument when the father came to pick up JJ at her home in Chandler.
Lori's brother intervened and shot Charles dead. She then moved with her children to Idaho, where Chad lived, in August.
Police initially determined that he acted in self defense - but the case was reopened during the multi-state search for JJ and Tylee.
There are also suspicions surrounding the death of Chad's wife, Tammy Daybell. She was found dead at the couple's home in Salem, Idaho on October 18.
An obituary stated that Tammy passed away in her sleep and her cause of death was ruled as natural after Chad reportedly declined an autopsy.
Investigators reopened the investigation into her death after learning that JJ and Tylee were missing, as their mother had married Chad just two weeks after Tammy died. They believe the two cases could be linked.
Tammy's body was exhumed on December 11 and the autopsy results have not yet been released.

Chad's wife Tammy Daybell (pictured together) was found dead under mysterious circumstances in October, just two weeks before he married Lori
On December 12, Lori's brother, Alex Cox, was found dead in Gilbert, Arizona.
The 51-year-old's death is now under investigation as police wait for an autopsy to determine the cause.
Kay Woodcock - the sister of Charles Vallow who is also JJ's grandmother - issued a statement in December in which she described how Lori turned into a 'monster' after she met Chad in 2018.
Chad, 51, is a prolific author of 25 books focusing on doomsday scenarios and near-death experiences. He is what's known as a 'prepper' - someone who is getting ready for the End of Times - and was a member of a group called Preparing a People.
Last month DailyMail.com revealed that Chad had been kicked out of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints back in the fall after he declared himself a prophet.
Lori reportedly began reading Chad's writing while she was living in Hawaii with Charles, JJ and Tylee between 2014 and 2017.
It's unclear how or when exactly Lori and Chad met, but family members say it was sometime around June 2018.
The pair made their first appearance together in December 2018 on a podcast for Preparing a People, a group which, according to its website, organizes conferences and lectures for those who 'look forward to the rapidly coming changes to our current Telestial way of life, and rejoice in the hope of a far better world to soon come!'
Retired FBI agent says police took so long to arrest 'cult mom' Lori Vallow over the disappearance of her children because they were likely 'piecing together a larger puzzle' of death, Doomsday cults and secret marriages
Retired FBI agent Frank Montoya Jr
A retired FBI agent has explained authorities may have taken so long to arrest Lori Vallow for the disappearance of her children because they might be building a bigger case against her that addresses the suspicious deaths of other people in her circle and her apparent fascination with Doomsday culture.
On Friday, after Vallow was arrested in Kauai on an arrest warrant issued by authorities in Idaho, questions surfaced over why it had taken the police so long to take her into custody and what would happen next.
Vallow's two children, JJ, seven, and Tylee, 17, have not been seen since September.
She fled to Hawaii with her new husband, Chad Daybell, after they vanished and has ignored judge's orders and pleas from the kids' extended family to produce them.
On Thursday, she was finally taken into custody on a charge of disobeying the court order, desertion and nonsupport of dependent children.
Frank Montoya Jr, who retired from the FBI in 2016 after serving since 1991, explained to DailyMail.com on Friday morning that the authorities in Idaho had been forced to hold off until there was any evidence of a crime which, in Vallow's case, there has not been, because both children remain completely unaccounted for.
'What's frustrating is the kids are missing.
'When the parent herself is not cooperating.. it isn't enough to arrest them.
'What's the charge? If it's just child endangerment and she refuses to talk, how do you prove the children have been harmed or more tragically if they're dead? You can't.
'A judge and jury have no choice but to say there's no evidence to hold her in cases like this you'll hugely dependent,' he said.
Montoya went on to explain what will likely happen now to Vallow. He also speculated over the various strains of investigation the police in Idaho now have to look at.
'It's a combination of things that the kids are still missing and the fact she's in Hawaii and they want to talk to her in Idaho. She can either waive or contest - if she contests it then there'll be a hearing, Idaho authorities will present their case. There's little chance that the judge won't extradite.
'[But] there's a number of things they're working through here; the death of her husband, Daybell's former wife, for instance. They're exhuming her body to perform an autopsy.
'He has not been arrested, interestingly. Will he accompany her to Idaho or stay in Hawaii or move on?'
He added that she likely will not be quizzed over the whereabouts of Lori and JJ until she is back in Idaho and that even then, police may want to hold her in a cell for as long as possible to try to break any resolve she may have.
'They'll attempt to talk to her - of course she can invoke her right to silence.
'They have leverage - even though there's a lot of craziness, suspicious behavior and strange stuff, this is not a hardened criminal. She's never spent a few nights in jail.
'What's the prospect of going to jail for 10-14 years. It remains to be seen whether she will cooperate.
'After spending time in a jail in Kauai, they want to maybe bring her to Idaho and let her sit in an Idaho jail.
'My guess is that they'll wait until they gather back to Idaho,' he said.
He added it will likely not emerge what has happened until her arrest warrant is unsealed.
'This is just another step - this is just another step,' he said.
Another theory he says police may have been worried about is that Vallow and Daybell were obsessed with the Doomsday culture and resurrection.
'The backup in all this is her peculiar ways... there's a bit of a time crunch.
'People like this - what exactly is their intent? Part of these end of the world scenarios is that everyone gets resurrected. Are her kids the test case of that? Until she starts talking who knows... maybe this is the step to get her to start talking,' he said.
Lori and Charles' marriage crumbles amid her alleged cult ties
Lori and Charles' marriage deteriorated rapidly as she became more and more involved with Preparing a People, and he filed for divorce and for custody of JJ in February 2019.
In court documents, he claimed that Lori had become 'obsessed' with doomsday and believed she was a reincarnated god sent to Earth to help prepare for the second coming of Christ.
'Mother has told Father [Charles] that she is sealed [eternally married] to the ancient Book of Mormon prophet Moroni and that she has lived numerous lives on numerous planets prior to this current life,' the documents state.
'Mother also informed Father that she is a translated being who cannot taste death sent by God to lead the 144,000 into the Millennium.
Charles Vallow (pictured) filed for divorce from Lori in February 2019
'Mother believes that she is receiving spiritual revelations and visions to help her gather and prepare those chosen to live in the New Jerusalem after the Great War as prophesied in the book of Revelations.'
Charles also claimed in the petition that Lori had threatened to kill him.
During a January 29 phone conversation, Lori allegedly told Charles that she was a 'God assigned to carry out the work of the 144,000 at Christ's second coming in July 2020 and that if Father [Charles] got in her way of her mission she would murder him', the documents state.
Charles' sister Kay said she kept in close contact with him during the divorce proceedings, and that he would often call her in hysterics.
She said she suspected Lori and Chad were having an affair at the time and expressed concern over the fact that Lori's three previous husbands had died.
Earlier this month, Kay called Lori a 'black widow'.
'[Husband] three and [husband] four are dead. Five? He's next. How he's gonna go? I don't know. But I wouldn't sleep with my eyes closed,' she said.
No information is known about Lori's first two husbands. Her third husband and Tylee's father, Joseph Ryan, died of an apparent heart attack in April 2018.
Amid the divorce proceedings Charles was granted an order of protection against Lori - who he claimed had drained $35,000 out of their bank account.
When Charles tried to serve the order of protection to Lori, he couldn't find her. The family says she disappeared for nearly two months, leaving her children in relatives' care.
Charles revoked his petition for divorce about a month after filing it and moved to Texas.
Charles predicts Lori or her brother will kill him
Attorneys who represented Charles in the divorce have spoken out, claiming that their client had predicted either Lori or her brother Alex would kill him.
Lawyer Steven Ellsworth told FOX10 that Charles had told him: 'I'm afraid I'm gonna be killed, and I know who's gonna do it.
'I'm telling you, Steve, so that if something happens to me, I wanna make sure you let everyone know that something happens, I'm killed, that it's my wife Lori and her brother, Alex Cox.'
Five months later, his prediction came true.
Charles went to Lori's home in Chandler, Arizona, to pick up JJ on July 10. When he arrived, the pair got into an argument that turned physical, according to Lori's brother Alex Cox.
Lori's brother Alex Cox died under mysterious circumstances on December 12
Cox, who was visiting for the night, told police that he tried to intervene when Charles hit him in the back of the head with a baseball bat. He told investigators that he shot Charles twice in the chest to 'stop him'.
The Chandler Police Department recently released redacted body camera footage of Alex and Lori speaking to officers outside the home directly after the shooting.
Lori calmly answered questions about her relationship with Charles, while Alex appeared much more frazzled as officers repeatedly had to ask him to repeat parts of the story.
He explained how the incident began when he tried to break up a fight between Charles and Lori, saying: '[Charles] told me not to interfere with them anymore or I'd pay.'
He claimed that his niece, Tylee, retrieved a baseball bat from her bedroom to protect her mother from Charles but that Charles grabbed it from her and started hitting him instead.
As he ran to his room to retrieve his gun, Lori and the children fled out of the home.
'I told him to put the bat down and he wouldn't,' Alex recounted.
'I said, 'I want you to put the bat tat down and he wouldn't. He came at me with the bat again so I shot him to stop him. That was it.'
Two family members and Charles' attorneys have disputed that account.
'We knew immediately that was wrong,' Charles' sister Kay said at a press conference this month. 'It was a setup.'
Charles' oldest son said he doesn't believe his father would have gotten violent with Lori or her brother.
'I knew my dad was the most passive person. He hated arguing with people. He'd never been in a fight, he was not an aggressive person in any way. I don't believe it at all,' the son said.
Lawyer Taylor Lawson told the outlet: 'We knew that this wasn't an accident. This wasn't self-defense.'
