Listen:
Levin is discussing the latest moves by Sullivan in getting his Clinton buddy to argue against dismissing the Flynn case, as well as the suggestion that he might hold Flynn in contempt for changing his prior guilty plea.
Levin noted during his comments that Sullivan clearly isn’t moved by the new evidence showing that Flynn was set up. Or by the abuse of power by Strzok, McCabe and Comey. Which is troubling to say the least.
Regarding Sullivan absurdly referring to the Flynn case as being about treason, as well as the latest moves by the judge, Levin suggested that perhaps Sullivan wants to retire but he only wants to do so if Biden wins, so he’s doing everything he can to defend the Obama administration to help defeat Trump. He said stuff like this really does happen.
Levin did make the case that Sullivan should resign because he’s given up his judicial independence. In fact he says Sullivan is not even a judge anymore, but a man with judicial power and way out of line. He added that judges like Sullivan and Berman are destroying the reputation of the judiciary with their partisanship.

Senator Barrasso was on with Stuart Varney today and he made a very interesting connection – he said that the same day that Joe Biden obtained the unmasking information on Mike Flynn that it was leaked to the Washington Post.
Barrasso goes on to say that this would be a crime punishable by ten years in jail, but to Varney’s credit, he points out that many other people requested the unmasking of Flynn, so it would be difficult to pin it on one guy. It is just as likely that one of the other schmucks leaked the information, OR, even if Biden leaked it, he would likely be bright enough to cover his tracks when he did it.
On the other hand he doesn’t seem quite with it these days:

IN any case, it’s just conjecture at this point.

therightscoop--2020-05-14--James Clapper claims unmasking of  Flynn was a ‘routine thing’ in CNN interview

So James Clapper came out of the woodwork this morning to add to the chorus of voices from the Obama administration and their allies that the unmasking was a “ routine thing ” : Here ’ s more of what he said from the Hill : Clapper was one of several Obama-era officials named on Wednesday by the Trump administration and Republican senators who they say asked for documents that led to Flynn being “ unmasked ” from intelligence reports between the 2016 election and President Trump ’ s inauguration .
Government officials typically redact the names of American citizens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to protect their privacy , though it is common for officials to request that the names be revealed , or “ unmasked , ” to provide the government with context about the material .
Clapper maintained that officials do not know the individual who will be unmasked prior to making their request , dismissing claims that the government was working to target Flynn .
“ Again , if I ’ d known that , there wouldn ’ t have been a need to ask , ” he said .
Clapper requested officials “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he said he does not recall what prompted his requests .
Flynn was being scrutinized at the time for discussions he had with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak about the Obama administration ’ s sanctions on Moscow .
Flynn ultimately pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to federal agents about conversations he had with the Russian diplomat , but he has since sought to withdraw his plea and is in the midst of a closely-watched court battle after the Justice Department announced it was dropping charges .
So , from what I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ given how FISA works , the request for unmasking a name comes before someone knows what that name is .
IN the surveillance , people are marked but redacted , and then officials can request the unmarking .
That is what we know for sure .
IF it was politically motivated , then we would have to know that Obama or Biden or other officials KNEW beforehand that it was Mike Flynn , and then they asked for the unmasking .
That , we don ’ t know , we can only conjecture @

So James Clapper came out of the woodwork this morning to add to the chorus of voices from the Obama administration and their allies that the unmasking was a “routine thing”:
Former DNI James Clapper says it’s “routine” to ask to unmask unknown individuals in intelligence reports.

Here’s more of what he said from the Hill:
Clapper was one of several Obama-era officials named on Wednesday by the Trump administration and Republican senators who they say asked for documents that led to Flynn being “unmasked” from intelligence reports between the 2016 election and President Trump’s inauguration.

Clapper maintained that officials do not know the individual who will be unmasked prior to making their request, dismissing claims that the government was working to target Flynn. “Again, if I’d known that, there wouldn’t have been a need to ask,” he said. Clapper requested officials “unmask” Flynn three times, though he said he does not recall what prompted his requests. Flynn was being scrutinized at the time for discussions he had with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak about the Obama administration’s sanctions on Moscow. Flynn ultimately pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to federal agents about conversations he had with the Russian diplomat, but he has since sought to withdraw his plea and is in the midst of a closely-watched court battle after the Justice Department announced it was dropping charges.
So, from what I’m seeing, and it makes sense given how FISA works, the request for unmasking a name comes before someone knows what that name is. IN the surveillance, people are marked but redacted, and then officials can request the unmarking. That is what we know for sure.
IF it was politically motivated, then we would have to know that Obama or Biden or other officials KNEW beforehand that it was Mike Flynn, and then they asked for the unmasking. That, we don’t know, we can only conjecture.

I think what actually happened was that McConnell wanted nothing to do with the impeachment shenanigans from House Democrats , wanting them to own it completely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back Graham like a wet towel and so nothing happened .
I could be wrong , but that ’ s my guess .
In any event , Graham has gone from being a great defender in the phony Kavanaugh scandal to getting called out by Trump for doing nothing .

The Domestic Emoluments Clause says that the president can not receive any emolument from the U.S. or any individual state other than his or her salary .

All six of the judges who dissented were appointed by either Reagan , George H.W .

“ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the judge wrote .

FOX NEWS – The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday revived a lawsuit from the Maryland and Washington, D.C. attorneys general that accuses President Trump of violating the Constitution’s Foreign and Domestic Emoluments Clauses by benefiting from use of the Trump International Hotel by foreign and U.S. officials.
The case previously had been ordered dismissed by a Fourth Circuit panel. But the full roster of judges reheard the case and, in a 9-6 decision, determined Trump cannot have the court overrule a lower court’s decision to deny him certification to appeal before trial.
“Notably, notwithstanding the President’s vigorous assertion that the court erred in its legal analysis, he does not contend that the district court denied certification for nonlegal reasons or in bad faith,” said Thursday’s opinion, written by Judge Diana Gribbon Motz.
Trump had asked the Fourth Circuit to issue a writ of mandamus, a drastic measure that would have ordered the district court to certify Trump’s appeal in the middle of the case. Trump’s challenge raised issues including whether D.C. and Maryland had standing to sue in the first place, and exactly what the meaning of the word “emoluments” is.
The Foreign Emoluments Clause prohibits the president or anyone else in office from receiving “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State” without congressional approval. D.C. and Maryland claim that money earned as a result of foreign officials staying at his hotel to curry favor with the president constitutes such an emolument.
The Domestic Emoluments Clause says that the president cannot receive any emolument from the U.S. or any individual state other than his or her salary. The lawsuit alleges that Trump is receiving such emoluments when state officials stay at his hotel.

But newly unearthed State Department memos obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show Yovanovitch ’ s embassy in Kiev , including the ambassador herself , was engaged in several discussions and meetings about Burisma as the gas firm scrambled during the 2016 election and transition to settle a long-running corruption investigation and polish its image before President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , was specifically warned in an email by her top deputy in September 2016 — three years before her testimony — that Burisma had hired an American firm with deep Democratic connections called Blue Star Strategies to “ rehabilitate the reputation ” of the Ukrainian gas firm and that it had placed “ Hunter Biden on its board , ” the memos show .

Yovanovitch , who recently retired from State , did not respond Tuesday to a message sent to her private email seeking comment .
Her lawyer during the impeachment proceedings , Lawrence S. Robbins , also did not respond to an emailed request for comment .

Marie Yovanovitch knew more than she said she knew in Schiff’s Ukraine hearings last November when they were trying to build a case to impeach Trump. Both John Solomon and Congressman Lee Zeldin were on with Laura Ingraham to discuss the new findings:
Here’s more on what Yovanovitch knew from Solomon’s article on this:
During President Trump’s impeachment, former U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch testified to Congress that she knew little beyond an initial briefing and “press reports” about Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian natural gas firm that had hired Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter and was dogged by a corruption investigation.
“It just wasn’t a big deal,” she declared under oath on Oct. 11, 2019.
But newly unearthed State Department memos obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show Yovanovitch’s embassy in Kiev, including the ambassador herself, was engaged in several discussions and meetings about Burisma as the gas firm scrambled during the 2016 election and transition to settle a long-running corruption investigation and polish its image before President Trump took office.
Yovanovitch, for instance, was specifically warned in an email by her top deputy in September 2016 — three years before her testimony — that Burisma had hired an American firm with deep Democratic connections called Blue Star Strategies to “rehabilitate the reputation” of the Ukrainian gas firm and that it had placed “Hunter Biden on its board,” the memos show.
She also met directly with a representative for Burisma in her embassy office, less than 45 days before Trump took office, a contact she did not mention during her impeachment deposition.
The discussions about Burisma inside Yovanovitch’s embassy were so extensive, in fact, that they filled more than 160 pages of emails, memos and correspondence in fall 2016 alone, according to the State Department records obtained under FOIA by the conservative group Citizens United.
The contacts included a detailed private letter hand-delivered to Yovanovitch by one of Burisma’s lawyers in September 2016, a briefing later that month from her staff on Burisma’s issues, and a meeting scheduled between the ambassador and a Burisma representative shortly before Christmas 2016 as the Obama administration was preparing to leave office.
Yovanovitch, who recently retired from State, did not respond Tuesday to a message sent to her private email seeking comment. Her lawyer during the impeachment proceedings, Lawrence S. Robbins, also did not respond to an emailed request for comment.
State officials declined comment.


therightscoop--2020-05-16--Richard Grenell slaps down Adam Schiff and his weaselly outrage

Richard Grenell announced some changes as the acting Director of National Intelligence and Adam lost his Schiff over it : @ @ @ @ @ m not gon na pretend that I know whether Congress should have a say in @ @ @ @ @ intelligence , but given Schiff ’ s history of deceit , I ’ m gon @ @ @ @ @ exaggerating at best .
And Grenell didn ’ t think much of it either : @ @ @ @ @ might object given that he ’ s the “ acting ” DNI , but this @ @ @ @ @ like the most horrendous thing in the world .
I would definitely entertain arguments on @ @ @ @ @ .
Here are the announcements from Grenell :

Richard Grenell announced some changes as the acting Director of National Intelligence and Adam lost his Schiff over it:
"President Trump did not nominate you for confirmation as permanent DNI, and it would be inappropriate for you to pursue any additional leadership, organizational, or staffing changes to ODNI during your temporary tenure," @RepAdamSchiff wrote in a letter to Grenell on April 7. https://t.co/7DidD7FYKh — Zachary Cohen (@ZcohenCNN) May 15, 2020
So look, I’m not gonna pretend that I know whether Congress should have a say in the DNI organizes our national intelligence, but given Schiff’s history of deceit, I’m gonna guess he’s exaggerating at best.
And Grenell didn’t think much of it either:
Only in Washington, DC would one be appointed to a job but not expected to DO the job. @AdamSchiff https://t.co/f5qa8lzvy6 — Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) May 15, 2020
I could see why some might object given that he’s the “acting” DNI, but this just doesn’t sound like the most horrendous thing in the world. I would definitely entertain arguments on both sides of this issue.
Here are the announcements from Grenell:
Acting DNI Grenell announces changes to election security briefings https://t.co/CwgNNMl89N — Office of the DNI (@ODNIgov) May 15, 2020
Acting DNI Grenell announces organizational changes to National Counterterrorism Center https://t.co/Sw9e8yNstU — Office of the DNI (@ODNIgov) May 15, 2020
UPDATE:
So we got a hot tip from a source we cannot reveal that says it may be that Grenell was actually getting rid of people friendly to weaselly Schiff, and that’s why he’s so upset. Not confirmed. Take it with a grain of salt….

“ We are disappointed that Liberty University would decide to make that into a criminal case and go after a freelance journalist because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the university ’ s decision to convene classes in the midst of the pandemic , ” he added .
There is no warrant for the author of the Times article , Elizabeth Williamson , because the magistrate judge did not find enough physical evidence to charge her , Falwell said .

Falwell says there were “absolutely zero” cases of student, faculty or the staff on campus. So that’s a problem for the New York Times. He has made this claim before, but he is now adding that he is going to sue the NYT:
In an interview on Starnes’ show, Falwell ripped a New York Times report that nearly a dozen students were experiencing symptoms of Covid-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus. The Times cited “the physician who runs Liberty’s student health service,” who said three students so far had been tested for coronavirus, with at least one student, who lives off campus, testing positive. More students were self-quarantining, the Times reported, a move caused, Falwell said, by where they had spent spring break. Falwell said the physician, who he says has “no official role at Liberty,” had “immediately issued a correction” to his statements to the Times. A statement on the school’s website says the physician denies “he ever told the reporter that Liberty had about a dozen students were sick with symptoms that suggest COVID-19” and that he “gave figures for testing and self-isolation that are consistent with Liberty’s numbers but the New York Times preferred to go forward with sensational click-bait that increases traffic.”
That was in Politico from early April – when he claimed that two reporters were going to be arrested for trespassing too. It doesn’t seem like much came of that claim:
David McCraw, in-house counsel for the Times, said in a statement, “Julia was engaged in the most routine form of news gathering: taking an outdoors picture of a person who was interviewed for a news story.” McCraw said Rendleman had been invited to campus by one of the students interviewed for the article. “We are disappointed that Liberty University would decide to make that into a criminal case and go after a freelance journalist because its officials were unhappy with press coverage of the university’s decision to convene classes in the midst of the pandemic,” he added.

So I’m not sure what is going on, to be honest.


therightscoop--2020-05-15--China admits to destroying early samples of coronavirus, claims it was due to safety…

China is now admitting to destroying early samples of the coronavirus , claiming it was only due to safety and not an attempt to hide the virus from the world : NY POST – China confirmed Friday it had ordered unauthorized laboratories in the country to destroy coronavirus samples early in the outbreak .
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has charged that Beijing refused to provide virus samples taken from patients when the pandemic began in China in late 2019 , and that Chinese authorities had destroyed early samples .
Liu Dengfeng , an official with the National Health Commission @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told the South China Morning Post the samples were destroyed at unauthorized labs to “ prevent the risk to laboratory biological safety and prevent secondary disasters caused by unidentified pathogens.
” He insisted it was done for biosafety reasons and not to hide them from the US and other countries .
When the coronavirus was first reported in the city of Wuhan , “ national-level professional institutes ” were working to identify the pathogen that was causing it , Liu said .
“ Based on comprehensive research and expert opinion , we decided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pneumonia as Class II — highly pathogenic — and imposed biosafety requirements on sample collection , transport and experimental activities , as well as destroying the samples , ” he said .
There ’ s no way I ’ m buying these excuses from China and I ’ m pretty sure the State department isn ’ t either .
It ’ s a well known fact that they covered up the virus in the first place , and destroying these samples was almost surely part of that cover-up .
I ’ m guessing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evidence that the virus leaked from their Wuhan lab , hoping the world will buy the excuse that it came from the ‘ bat soup ’ wet market .
Remember , a scientist from the lab originally worried that the virus leaked from the lab .
It was only after an ‘ investigation ’ that she said it was determined not to come from the lab .
Yeah , right .

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has charged that Beijing refused to provide virus samples taken from patients when the pandemic began in China in late 2019, and that Chinese authorities had destroyed early samples.

When the coronavirus was first reported in the city of Wuhan, “national-level professional institutes” were working to identify the pathogen that was causing it, Liu said. “Based on comprehensive research and expert opinion, we decided to temporarily manage the pathogen causing the pneumonia as Class II — highly pathogenic — and imposed biosafety requirements on sample collection, transport and experimental activities, as well as destroying the samples,” he said.
There’s no way I’m buying these excuses from China and I’m pretty sure the State department isn’t either.
It’s a well known fact that they covered up the virus in the first place, and destroying these samples was almost surely part of that cover-up.

therightscoop--2020-05-15--New video suggests Ahmaud Arbery may have been getting a drink of water at construction site

While it is not definitive , the property owner now believes that Ahmaud Arbery may have simply been getting a drink of water from the construction site on the day he was killed by Travis McMichael : NY POST – New video suggests slain Georgia jogger Ahmaud Arbery may have been getting a drink of water when he was spotted entering a construction site before he was shot dead , the property owner ’ s lawyer said Friday .
Attorney Elizabeth Graddy made the suggestion based on newly released security camera footage showing a man believed to be Arbery enter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ times since last fall , according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution .
A man believed to be Arbery was inside the construction site at around 1 p.m. moments before the McMichaels confronted him .
The McMichaels said they chased him down with weapons because they believed he was a burglar , then the son shot him in a struggle over a shotgun .
Graddy , who represents property owner Larry English , said in a statement Friday that there were two water faucets on the site – one at the rear of the house @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Journal-Constitution reported .
“ Although these water sources do not appear within any of the cameras ’ frames , the young man moves to and from their locations , ” she told the paper after reviewing the new footage .
Most of the videos are short clips showing a person walking around inside and outside of the construction site in Brunswick .
The footage shows no evidence of theft and nothing was ever reported missing from the property , according to the newspaper .
There were other instances where Arbery was caught on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dec. 17 clip , a man the authorities believe is Arbery , wearing shorts and a tank top , leaves the construction site and enters Satilla Drive jogging .
On Feb. 11 , the motion-activated cameras recorded a man who looked like Arbery sometime after 7 p.m. slowly walking through the house , the paper reported .
That night Travis McMichael was driving his red pickup truck past the construction site when he saw a man running into the house and called 911 to report a break-in .
Police responded but didn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ earlier occasion , the cameras recorded an unknown man and woman enter the property after 10 p.m. on Nov. 17 , according to the newspaper .
Arbery was killed on February 23 , which means McMichael had seen Arbery going into the property at least once before on February 11th and called the cops .
If all of this is true , it doesn ’ t bode well for the McMichaels .
However , it ’ s still best not to jump to conclusions until the investigation is done and all the video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attorneys for the McMichaels , there ’ s still more truth to come out : But Robert Rubin and Jason Sheffield , attorneys for the younger McMichael , “ conducted an extensive initial investigation and believe there is compelling evidence that Mr. McMichael is not guilty of the charges against him , ” a statement from their law firm reads .

“ While the death of Ahmaud Arbery is a tragedy , causing deep grief to his family — a tragedy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fit into a terrible pattern in American life — this case does not fit that pattern , ” attorney Frank Hogue said .
“ The full story , to be revealed in in time , will tell the truth about this case.
” According to Hogue today , she said there is more than one video and that all of the facts they know will be revealed in a preliminary hearing :

NY POST – New video suggests slain Georgia jogger Ahmaud Arbery may have been getting a drink of water when he was spotted entering a construction site before he was shot dead, the property owner’s lawyer said Friday. Attorney Elizabeth Graddy made the suggestion based on newly released security camera footage showing a man believed to be Arbery enter the under-construction home at least five separate times since last fall, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. A man believed to be Arbery was inside the construction site at around 1 p.m. moments before the McMichaels confronted him. The McMichaels said they chased him down with weapons because they believed he was a burglar, then the son shot him in a struggle over a shotgun.

Arbery was killed on February 23, which means McMichael had seen Arbery going into the property at least once before on February 11th and called the cops. If all of this is true, it doesn’t bode well for the McMichaels. However, it’s still best not to jump to conclusions until the investigation is done and all the video is accounted for. According to the attorneys for the McMichaels, there’s still more truth to come out:

….Likewise, the @nytimes and @washingtonpost are a disgrace to journalism. They are all Fake News, and they know it better than anyone else. History is unfolding, and it is not a pretty picture for “journalism”. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 15, 2020
He’s not wrong about these MSM outlets. Check out this video from Lyin’ Brian Williams in an interview with Clapper yesterday:
MSNBC’s Brian Williams to @JohnBrennan: “Can you once and for all” explain to Fox News viewers why “unmasking” isn’t really a story pic.twitter.com/PjE1H0FS0D — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) May 14, 2020
How subtle of them!
They are all taking a similar tact. Below is CNN completely dismissing this as shameful partisan politics:
The garbage media is doing everything they can to minimize or outright dismiss the news that Joe Biden unmasked Flynn for political purposes, just like they’ve done with the Tara Reade allegations. Biden must be protected at all costs because, as I’ve said in the past, he’s their only hope for defeating Trump.

“She now must be destroyed” – CBS reporter Catherine Herridge attacked by Biden campaign and the Daily Beast

The Daily Beast has written a piece attacking Catherine Herridge , saying that Democrats “ and some of her own colleagues ” believe she ’ s pushing conservative conspiracy theories : I can ’ t get to the entire article because it ’ s blocked by a members only paywall .
But the subtitle is this : All of this started when the Biden campaign attacked Herridge as a partisan for putting out the documents showing Joe Biden unmasked LTG Flynn : Andrew Bates is the Director of Rapid Response for Team Biden .
In response to this CBS News @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As Steve Krakauer noted in a tweet , “ 24 hours since Joe Biden ’ s campaign outrageously and unfairly attacked CBS News ’ @ CBS_Herridge .
Not one colleague of Herridge ’ s has come to her defense – @ MajorCBS , @ Weijia , @ PaulaReidCBS , @ margbrennan – no one .
@ jaketapper is the only prominent media member I ’ ve seen who has.
” There have been plenty of other response as well , with Glenn Greenwald saying : That ’ s absolutely what this is .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ out the truth and Biden can ’ t lose to Trump !
Here are some other response that make great points about this :

The Daily Beast has written a piece attacking Catherine Herridge, saying that Democrats “and some of her own colleagues” believe she’s pushing conservative conspiracy theories:

There’s a vanishingly small number of journalists at mainstream TV and print outlets who don’t feed at the same trough of official sources & groupthink. @CBS_Herridge is one.

I mean if there’s any organization that Trump is NOT “picking on” it’s CHINA, who is completely guilty of lying about the Chinese-Wuhan-Coronavirus and then doing everything in their power to cover-up their lies.

Electoral success requires an audience willing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media and traditional media are dominated by voices strongly averse to the political risks posed by a viable third candidate .

Do you remember when he was oh so indignant that Trump had been tormenting the family of Lori Klausutis , the intern who died at this office ?
Well… it turns out that Joe himself had laughed when someone joked that he had been having an affair with Lori and killed her over it .
AND this wasn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was just two years after she died : Here ’ s what he said on the video discovered by the Media Research Center : MRC ’ s unearthed clip is dated May 29 , 2003 and appears to show Scarborough laughing along with Imus about killing the intern .

You know , I ask you why you won Congress , you said you ’ d had sex with the intern and then you had to kill her , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” Imus is seen saying .
I mean really ?
I think that Trump probably should have chilled when he implied that Scarborough killed his intern , BUT , it ’ s way worse for Scarborough to be chuckling at the death of his intern 2 years later .
And it ’ s thoroughly hypocritical for him to pretend that he cares about the feelings of the Klausutis family when he was mocking it soo soon after .
Just ridiculous .

You all know Nate Silver, he’s the media’s favorite poll analyst, and he’s pretty lefty-biased, though much of his analysis can be pretty decent at times. Well even he is calling out the media on their lies about the coronavirus spike:
There are still *way* too many stories about big spikes in cases when the cause of those spikes was a big increase in tests. And remember, it's a good thing when states start doing more tests! https://t.co/83EDe62YSs — Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) May 16, 2020
At first, this was an understandable mistake. Most people haven't covered this sort of story before and the data is less straightforward than you might assume. But it's been 2+ months now. It's now a lazy, careless mistake. And it's increasingly verging into being dishonest. — Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) May 16, 2020
So, he’s right in this case. We’re seeing a lot of headlines about coronavirus spikes in various states right as they ease up on social distancing. It’s too perfect a story, it’s catnip for the media, right? BUT, there’s another explanation:
Oh FFS. 1/ https://t.co/FOim1xMHmg — Sean T at RCP (@SeanTrende) May 16, 2020

You can see a clear correlation. We’re seeing greater virus numbers simply because we’re testing more and seeing more of what’s out there. Now, that doesn’t mean we WON’T see a spike from easing social distancing. Perhaps we will. But it’s dishonest for the media to pretend this is it, or that they know this is it, without discussing the increase in testing….

Dems pass massive coronavirus relief bill, defeat GOP attempt to prevent funds going to illegal aliens

The Democrats were able to pass the biggest spending bill in U.S. history and they were able to defeat the Republican attempt to prevent funds from going to illegal aliens : Here ’ s more about the bill from Fox News : The Democrats ’ new $ 3 trillion coronavirus relief legislation expands direct payment eligibility to many more people than last time , including undocumented immigrants who pay taxes .
Each eligible person would receive $ 1,200 stimulus checks , up to $ 6,000 per household , according to the newly released legislation .
For example , a married @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2,400 .
They would get an additional $ 1,200 for each of their dependents , up to three , for a maximum benefit of $ 6,000 .
Under the first round of checks , eligible individuals got a one-time payment of up to $ 1,200 , or $ 2,400 per couple , plus $ 500 for each child up to age 16 .
I can imagine a lot of people being upset by these payments going to illegal aliens , but I could ALSO see a lot of that outrage being blunted by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : College students , non-child dependents and immigrants who pay taxes would also be eligible to receive the $ 1,200 payment .
In addition , families could receive retroactive $ 500 dependent payments they missed out on last time , according to a House aide .
We shall see if the Republicans in the Senate can shut this down .

Today, the character assassination of Tara Reade began in earnest. Shockingly, these same people had different thoughts when the accused wasn’t on their team. Examples are threaded below.

I’m still amazed at that @politico piece about Tara Reade. Yes, we’ve seen double standards (compared to Kavanaugh coverage), but a piece like that about Ford would have melted the internet.
