saraacater--2020-02-05--Acquit! Acquit! Acquit! Today, Democrats Will Officially Lose Their Battle Against Trump

The sweet smell of victory for Republicans on the Senate floor will be the end of Rep. Maxine Waters chant and the Democrat dream to “ Impeach !
Impeach !
Impeach !
” Well , at least for now .
The outcome of Wednesday ’ s upcoming 4 p.m. Senate vote will end in “ acquittal.
” Republicans have a 53-47 majority in the chamber .
It ’ s not enough to make Rep. Adam Schiff ’ s , D-CA , clan impeachment dreams come true because a two-thirds majority is required for conviction .
Last night we saw the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – in full swing .
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , D-CA , was the conductor .
She culminated the historic State of the Union by shredding a copy President Donald Trump ’ s historic speech in front of the nation .
Like most vindictive people , Pelosi , couldn ’ t control her disdain for Trump and her failure in bringing charges of obstruction and abuse of power against him could be seen on her face .
She knew she had lost her battle against Trump .
Pelosi is Wiley Coyote and Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Twitter are filled with an underlying truth .
It could be funny if what we are dealing with isn ’ t so fundamentally frightening .
Why ?
Because this upcoming 2020 presidential election will be a definitive moment in our history .
We have a choice between far Democratic leftists , who believe the American people can ’ t make their own choices , and Trump , who has proven through his actions that it is the people who make this nation great not the Washington elites .
Pelosi ’ s actions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Washington elites really feel deep down inside .
It ’ s a tragedy it ’ s come to this .
Too much power culminated in the bubble of the Washington swamp is a recipe for disaster and that ’ s what we ’ ve been witnessing since the 2016 election .
Those who hate Trump and the American people who voted for him have broken sacred rules of our Constitution , weaponized the Justice Department , Intelligence community and led a culture of corruption at the FBI .
Despite their belief that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should do or think , our Founding Fathers saw these antics long ago and protected the American people from people just like this when they signed the Declaration of Independence and established a Constitution strong enough that it couldn ’ t be manipulated .
Pelosi ’ s actions Tuesday night were a disgrace to the American people .
It was a slap in the face to the special guests invited to the State of The Union and for that they will pay a heavy price at the ballot box .
Unfortunately , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will end with the Senate ’ s acquittal of Trump Wednesday .
The acquittal vote is coming days after Democrats failed to convince colleagues or the American people that Trump is guilty of the crime .
Democrats did not prove their case .
The Trump haters have been fishing for a crime , fishing for anything to remove him from office and will continue to fish .
In essence , these Democrats and ‘ never-Trumpers ’ want to remove the American people from a process that makes this nation the envy of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elitists will discover is that the American people will do what they always do best , fight the battles as they come and win the war at the ballot box in November .

Former Vice President Joe Biden , who has long been viewed as the frontrunner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination , sits at a distant fourth in the Iowa caucuses as the votes continue to be counted in the Hawkeye State .

“ The big problem he has is not only the deficiencies he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is dead broke and he needs to raise money and it ’ s hard to raise money off an anemic fourth place finish.
” Axelrod says Biden needs to ramp up his campaign before it ’ s too late .
“ He needs to revive himself in New Hampshire or this firewall that everybody talks about in South Carolina might not be there for him , ” Axelrod added .
While campaigning in New Hampshire on Wednesday , Biden admitted that he suffered a big defeat in Iowa .
“ I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ took a gut punch in Iowa , ” Biden said .

saraacater--2020-02-07--VEXIT: Could Some Virginia Counties Secede Over Gun Control?

The West Virginia state legislature has proposed a bill to admit some Virginia counties to the Mountain State , as Virginia threatens to limit its citizens ’ second amendment rights .
The resolution , which passed through the West Virginia Senate on January 13 , was drafted and introduced by Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Trump , IV ( R ) of Morgan County .
“ Providing for an election to be had , pending approval of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia , and a majority of qualified citizens voting upon the proposition prior to August 1 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counties and independent cities of the Commonwealth of Virginia to be admitted to the State of West Virginia as constituent counties , under the provisions of Article VI , Section 11 of the Constitution of West Virginia , ” the bill begins .
A bill banning assault weapons passed through the Virginia House of Delegates Committee on Public Safety Thursday morning with a vote of 12-9 .
HB 961 would ban the sale of certain semi-automatic firearms , including AR-15 style rifles .
However , it would not require current owners of assault @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them with state police , which some earlier proposals required .
According to the Associated Press , more than 100 cities , towns and counties in Virginia have passed resolutions to become Second Amendment sanctuaries .
Gun rights and abortion issues are among the main concerns of constituents in these locations .
In the meantime , one Virginia man has created a “ Vexit ” petition due to the state ’ s gun control policies .
Additionally , Campbell County attorney and conservative activist , Rick Boyer , says he will follow through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” on the 2020 ballot , citing the state ’ s gun control measures .
“ People are just realizing the brand new Virginia is not the Virginia I grew up in and my kids are not going to grow up in the same level of freedom that I enjoyed and they want to do something about it , ” Boyer said .

“ I don ’ t really want to meddle nor will I meddle with what ’ s going on in Virginia , but if you ’ re unhappy with where you ’ re at , and West Virginia is going like West Virginia is going , we want you to come , ” Justice told Fox News .
The targeted counties in Virginia include Frederick County , along the border of West Virginia ’ s Eastern Panhandle .

The legislation “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who wish…to join us in our noble experiment of 156 years of separation from the government at Richmond.
” If the bill passes , Virginia counties and cities have until August 1 to request admission into West Virginia .
This would require approval from the Virginia General Assembly .
If that approval were to be granted , West Virginia voters would decide whether or not to accept the municipalities seeking admission to the state as part of the general election in November .
“ You ’ re wasting your time , ” Robert @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Supervisors for Frederick County , told MetroNews .
“ I don ’ t see Virginia , any portion of Virginia , joining West Virginia for any reason whatsoever.

The website tracks the spread of the deadly virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for people who want to understand what is happening and know more about the spread of this flu .
News reports of the virus and the increasing infections , along with the death toll , is frightening enough when you don ’ t understand what it really means and if it could potentially affect you or members of your family .

The Johns Hopkins University blog on the Coronavirus brings home how quickly this virus has traveled since it was first reported to the World Health Organization : “ On December 31 , 2019 , the World Health Organization ( WHO ) was informed of an outbreak of “ pneumonia of unknown cause ” detected in Wuhan City , Hubei Province , China – the seventh-largest city in China with 11 million residents .
As of January 23 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confirmed globally , including cases in at least 20 regions in China and nine countries/territories .
The first reported infected individuals , some of whom showed symptoms as early as December 8 , were discovered to be among stallholders from the Wuhan South China Seafood Market .
Subsequently , the wet market was closed on Jan 1 .
The virus causing the outbreak was quickly determined to be a novel coronavirus .
On January 10 , gene sequencing further determined it to be the new Wuhan coronavirus , namely 2019-nCoV , a betacoronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Syndrome virus ( MERS-CoV ) and the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome virus ( SARSCoV ) .

saraacater--2020-02-08--Chinese Citizen Journalist Disappears In China: Gordon Chang Warns of Virus Origin

This week someone I know – who travels to China frequently – sent me a video of Chinese lawyer and citizen journalist Chen Qiushi , who compiled a video of the situation in Wuhan , China of the coronavirus outbreak .
Qiushi apparently — and I say apparently because I can not independently verify Qiushi ’ s statements in the video — was doing citizen journalism to warn the outside world about the disastrous situation faced by China ’ s disorganization and failure in quelling the outbreak of the virus .
According to multiple sources Qiushi has now disappeared .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , sources in the region and Bloomberg has since reported his disappearance .
However , it is uncertain if he is in hiding or if he has been located by the Chinese government and taken into custody for his reports .
Social media platforms such as Twitter , Instagram and WeChat have been some of the only outlets for the people of China to get the truth out about the outbreak and how it ’ s being handled by the communist government .
On The Sara Carter Show , I interviewed Gordon Chang @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 20 years and is the author of the book “ The Coming Collapse of China.
” Gordon , who is a renowned expert on the Far East , told me that China has manipulated the actual number of infections and deaths related to the Wuhan virus , created a propaganda campaign to blame the United States for the outbreak and has blocked journalists from reporting the facts about the outbreak .
SaraACarter.com is continuously publishing news updates of the coronavirus outbreak with the latest numbers from Johns Hopkins University map tracker .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health emergency by the World Health Organization and medical experts believe it is only a matter of time before the WHO and CDC designate it a global pandemic .
According to Johns Hopkins there are 34,963 people infected with the virus and 725 deaths .
Remember , the situation is fluid and the numbers change by the hour and the day .
“ The Chinese people right now are completely focused in on trying to save themselves , but when this disease passes and this could be June or July , we ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the narrative in China , ” said Chang on Thursday ’ s podcast .
“ Already we had a longtime critic Xinhua University in Beijing come out and call for Xi Jinping , the Chinese ruler , to step down and I think that shows that people right now are bold and they ’ re bold because they know that so many people support them .
And when people lose their fear , and that ’ s exactly what ’ s occurring right now , then governments can change.
” Chang told me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at mid to low levels of governance in China.
” He noted that the “ videos of the hospital in Wuhan being built in ten days and all of the lights in the Wuhan buildings with these messages to cheer on the people , but the point is that at the middle to the lower levels there is a paralysis.
” There are also looming questions about where the virus originated and whether , as Sen. Tom Cotton , R- questioned during a hearing on the matter last week if the virus escaped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Wuhan .
Biosafety level-four facilities are laboratories are used to diagnose and study viral pathogens that can be deadly .
“ We still don ’ t know where coronavirus originated , ” said Cotton .
“ Could have been a market , a farm , a food processing company.
” “ I would not that Wuhan has China ’ s only biosafety level-four super laboratory that works with the world ’ s most deadly pathogens to include , yes , coronavirus , ” he added .
The first symptoms of the Coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 2019 and “ was diagnosed on the eighth , but it was not until the 31st of December that China made any public mention of this at all , and it wasn ’ t until about the 21st , 22nd , 23rd of January that the Communist party moved into action.
” Based on social media posts emanating from China many citizens in the country now “ believe that this virus did escape from the lab .
Other Chinese people are saying it was deliberately released from the lab.
” He said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chinese government on edge and “ the point is not whether they ’ re true or not , the point is that people in China believe that they are true and that is forcing the Communist party to come up with a narrative to counter that.
” He said “ this is where the U.S. comes in because part of Beijing ’ s efforts to counter this narrative of the release of the virus from the P4 lab is that the United States is spreading germ weapons in China , which is absolutely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people believe the Chinese government is doing behind the scenes : spreading this rumor to protect itself because it realizes it ’ s vulnerable.
” “ Right now it is the hostility of the Chinese regime , which allowed this virus to spread , which is also now doing its best to prevent others from helping China .

saraacater--2020-02-10--‘Seconds Save Lives’: Andrew Pollack Reveals Groundbreaking School Safety Plan

Meadow Pollack was one of seventeen people to die at the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland , Florida .
She was just eighteen years old .
Meadow ’ s father , Andrew , has re-dedicated his life to helping ensure that other families will not endure the same tragic loss he did .
He ’ s been proactive , writing a best-selling book , Why Meadow Died : The People and Policies That Created The Parkland Shooter and Endanger America ’ s Students , with education expert Max Eden .
It took first responders an unbelievable 43 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ body on the third floor the day of the shooting , Andrew Pollack told this reporter .
After two years of constant contact with various companies , Pollack began working with Intralogic Solutions Inc. , a company based out of Massapequa , New York .
Intralogic , which has been in business since 2004 , is currently working on security with schools in Florida , New York and around the nation .
Their system is called ALERT , which stands for Active Law Enforcement Response Technology .
It ties schools to local police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of me vetting people and going through and looking at software and learning about it , ” Pollack said .
“ Intralogic wants to help more .
They don ’ t want to just sell locks and door mechanisms .
They have a software with a patent on it that ’ s pretty incredible.
” Through his organization , SchoolSafetyGrant.org , Pollack will provide funding for the software to schools around the nation .
ALERT grants will amount to $ 40,000 for police departments and $ 20,000 for schools and other entities , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ theaters and shopping malls .
“ We ’ re going to donate this software to sheriffs departments and police departments through a grant application , ” he said .
“ On my committee , we have victims from a lot of these school shootings across the country , in Sandy Hook , Santa Fe , Colorado , etc .
that will all decide who gets these grants.
” The departments that receive this software will have the ability to monitor the schools through existing cameras .
They will also have the ability to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ students and staff over the intercom in the event of an emergency .
“ The dispatchers , while the cops are on their way , are looking at the cameras , they ’ re seeing where the shooter is so they can guide them when they get to the door and apprehend the person quickly , ” said Lee Mandel , Intralogic ’ s CEO .
“ And with the PA system , if they can speak to the shooter before they get on the scene and tell the shooter that the cops @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way , that ’ s typically when the shooter kills themself or stops the carnage.
” Mandel calls Pollack the “ brainchild ” of this project .
The two met after the Parkland shooting .
At the time Pollack joined this effort , Intralogic was already connecting over 2,000 schools in 150 school districts nationwide with police agencies in their respective areas .
“ I met with ( Andrew ) and other parents who told me that they were looking for a solution that would speed up the response time , ” Mandel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re going to be granting the software out through Andy ’ s organization .
We will start with $ 20 million in grants and go from there.
” JT Lewis , 19 , of Newtown , Connecticut , has experienced the same type of tragedy of Pollack , having lost his brother , Jesse , in the Sandy Hook shooting in December 2012 .
Since the Stoneman-Douglas attack , Lewis has become close with Andrew and his son , Hunter .
“ A big part of what Andrew is trying to do is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ active shooter or any other situation , ” Lewis told this reporter .
“ Communication between law enforcement and the school is crucial because there are innocents in the crossfire .
Police having a visual on the inside of the school will , in turn , keep law enforcement , teachers and students infinitely safer.
” Lewis , a University of Connecticut student , is running for the Connecticut Senate ’ s 28th district seat as a Republican .
“ The door locking aspect is genius too , ” Lewis added .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cornered with no children or teachers nearby so the perpetrator can be subdued easily.
” Like Pollack , he has met with President Donald Trump to discuss school safety .
Andrew Pollack , who is Jewish , also sees the growing threat on synagogues , churches and mosques nationwide .
Intralogic will be working with houses of worship , including Chabad of Coral Springs .
“ This grant when it comes out on February 26 and people start applying for it , ” said Mandel .
“ It ’ s going to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ With a rise in anti-Semitism across the country , Chabad of Coral Springs is doing what it can to protect its community .
“ This security program specifically is being granted to us by Andrew ’ s foundation and we are most appreciative , ” said executive director Rabbi Avraham Friedman .
“ Houses of worship being a target is just a reality unfortunately.
” Rabbi Friedman is Pollack ’ s rabbi and the two have grown closer since Meadow ’ s death .
He says that it is especially important to protect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that has already experienced this type of tragedy they are trying to prevent .
“ We want the community to feel that they could come here and pray , ” said Rabbi Friedman .
“ We want kids to be able to come here and have fun.
” Pollack says that in case of an emergency , schools and houses of worship linked to this technology will call 911 and their system will appear in the command center within five to ten seconds thereafter .
Chabad of Coral Springs will be working directly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in order to boost its security .

saraacater--2020-02-11--DOJ Sought Continuance Of Flynn Case To ‘Vindicate’ Public Reputation Of His Former Legal Team

Government prosecutor Joycelyn Ballantine filed an unexpected motion Sunday in the case against Michael Flynn for the express purpose of seeking to protect Flynn ’ s former defense team .
Yes , it ’ s true and in the prosecutor ’ s own words : Government prosecutors said in their filing they want “ to make certain and clear that counsel [ Covington & Burling ] may take the necessary steps to vindicate their public reputation by addressing and defending against the defendant ’ s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel , and equally to vindicate the integrity of this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government asks this court to issue the attached proposed order.
” Really ?
Now the US Attorney for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice are in the business of protecting and working to protect the “ public reputation ” of Covington & Burling—a well-known international law firm based in DC ?
Do the new United States Attorney Timothy Shea and Attorney General William Barr know that federal prosecutors—who had already identified a serious conflict of interest held by Covington in the Flynn case—are subjecting Flynn to more proceedings now to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sidney Powell describing the conflict of interest regarding Covington & Burling along with exhibits .
Flynn motion to dismiss for egregious government misconduct and in the interest of Justice A serious conflict of interest—indisputable because it was recognized by both the government and Covington by November 1 , 2017—well before Flynn entered a guilty plea or even made a proffer to the prosecutors– is one of the main reasons Flynn ’ s lawyer Sidney Powell filed to withdraw his guilty plea several weeks ago .
She noted in her filing then that his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , fully or properly of the firm ’ s ‘ conflict of interest in his case ’ regarding the Foreign Agents Registration Act form it filed on his behalf , and by doing so “ betrayed Mr. Flynn.
” In fact , there was no dispute that Covington had a serious conflict and it was so serious that the government raised it with Covington twice , beginning November 1 , 2019 , as reported .
A spokesman for Covington & Burling stated in an email to SaraACarter.com after Powell filed her motion to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Under the bar rules , we are limited in our ability to respond publicly even to allegations of this nature , absent the client ’ s consent or a court order.
” Well , with government prosecutors fighting on their behalf , Covington & Burling can be rest assured they are not alone .
Prosecutors also argued in Sunday ’ s filing that Flynn ’ s former attorneys must now testify after he claimed that they failed to appropriately handle his case .
The prosecutors asked Sullivan to confirm by court order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his communications with his lawyers , then-Robert Kelner , Brian Smith and Steven Anthony .
“ The government requests that the Court suspend the current briefing schedule concerning the defendant ’ s [ motion ] until such time as the government has been able to confer with Covington regarding the information it seeks , ” stated the prosecutors .
“ While Covington has indicated a willingness to comply with this request , it has understandably declined to do so in the absence of a Court order confirming the waiver of attorney-client privilege.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ have already been communicating .
One wonders who even drafted the motion and how much help Covington provided on it ?
Flynn is like David and the DOJ prosecutors are his Goliath—add now the formal and clear opposition of his own former lawyers—the powerful firm headed by former Attorney General Eric Holder and former head of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff .
Powell argues that point and others in her motion to withdraw his plea , in which she skillfully lays out how the government threatened to drag in his son , Michael Flynn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mueller ’ s investigation , if he didn ’ t plead guilty to the one count of lying to the FBI and how , once the Special Prosecutors focused on FARA liability , Covington was either going to be a defendant or had to subscribe to the “ Flynn-lied-to-his-lawyers ” theory of the prosecution .
Again , it ’ s another way prosecutors can squeeze defendants into a guilty plea .
After the prosecution ’ s Sunday filing , however , Judge Emmet T. Sullivan indefinitely delayed Flynn ’ s sentencing hearing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sentencing unlikely .
The government prosecutors said Flynn ’ s request to withdraw his guilty plea may require testimony from his former lawyers .
Powell told this reporter : “ The government , at a minimum , should agree to allow Flynn to withdraw his plea .
Both the prosecution and Covington recognized the seriousness of the firm ’ s conflict of interest .
The only person who didn ’ t understand it all was General Flynn himself .
As Flynn ’ s filing indicates , Covington did not timely or fully or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When he did finally make it clear to ( Covington ) that he must consult other counsel , he contacted me .
The resulting change in his defense proves the point.
” But to put this into perspective one only needs to remember the sequence of events that led to Flynn ’ s guilty plea .
He pled guilty to one count of lying to the two FBI agents who interviewed him only a few days into his new job as National Security Advisor in the White House regarding the content of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States Sergey Kislyak , while Flynn was on vacation in late December in the Dominican Republic .
Unbelievably , Flynn , who has given more than 33 years of his life serving his country in the military is in the fight for his future , family and reputation .
But what about the two agents who originally interviewed him at the White House .
Those agents , FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka , are now front and center of an ongoing criminal probe by Barr appointed prosecutor John @ @ @ @ @ @ @ malfeasance in FBI ’ s handling the Russia probe .
Strzok has since been fired for his actions in the FBI ’ s probe into the President Donald Trump ’ s 2016 campaign and Pientka , who is still with the FBI , was highly criticized in Inspector General Michael Horowitz ’ s recent report for failing to verify the information contained in the now debunked dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele .
Flynn has also raised serious issues about all of the exculpatory evidence that was hidden from him by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has just been dropped from the pleadings in this case .
Even fired former FBI Director James Comey admitted that the agents didn ’ t believe Flynn had lied to them during their interview with him and now Powell can ’ t get her hands on Flynn ’ s first interview with those agents–known as a 302 report .
The prosecutors have told Powell that they do not possess the first 302 report and the FBI refuses to give it up despite repeated requests .
Comey also laughed about how he – along @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Flynn up for the interview that took place at the White House on January , 24 , 2017 .
Comey described to MSNBC ’ s Nicolle Wallace that he sent Strzok and Pientka to the White House in a way that would not have occurred under another president .
He said the interview wasn ’ t set up through the White House counsel ’ s office , as common practice , but arranged directly with Flynn .
He admitted that it was “ something I probably wouldn ’ t have done or maybe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organized administration , ” Comey boasted as the audience erupted in laughter .
More and more , it becomes obvious through Flynn ’ s case the egregious behavior of government prosecutors that limits a defendants ability to have the necessary tools to defend themselves before the court .
It ’ s time for DOJ to create a Conviction Integrity Review Unit—like some state prosecutors have formed—to review serious claims that prosecutors have hidden exculpatory evidence and engaged in other misconduct and strong-armed tactics to secure convictions at any cost .
As Powell argued @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecution has “ shown abject bad faith in pure retaliation against Mr. Flynn since he retained new counsel .
This can only be because with new , unconflicted counsel , Mr. Flynn refused to lie for the prosecution.
” Powell is referring to the case of Flynn ’ s former business partner Bijan Rafiekian , who worked with him at his former security firm the Flynn Intel Group , as previously reported .
Last summer , prosecutor Van Grack and others in the Eastern District of Virginia suddenly demanded that Flynn admit to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In Powell ’ s motion , she attached the redlined document emailed by Mr. Van Grack that proved her point .
“ Justice is not a game , and there should be no room for such gamesmanship in the Department of Justice , ” stated Powell in her filing .
She noted that the Justice Department is attempting to “ rewrite history ” and criticized the prosecutors ’ withdrawal of its recommendation that Flynn be sentenced to probation and by suggesting he had not been forthcoming or cooperative .
She also argued @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its prior recommendation and withdrawal of a prior motion placed the government in breach of Flynn ’ s plea agreement and warrants withdrawal of his plea by itself .
“ Michael T. Flynn is innocent , ” she noted .
“ Mr .
Flynn has cooperated with the government in good faith for two years .
He gave the prosecution his full cooperation.
” Now it remains to be seen what happens from here and when , and if , the scales of liberty will eventually be balanced .
Will the Department actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t seen any yet .
Ms. Ballantine ’ s most recent motion makes no mention of seeking the truth .
Remarkably , its primary point is to protect Covington & Burling .

Ousted Ukrainian Ambassador Marie L. Yovanovitch , who testified against President Donald Trump at the House impeachment hearings , will be receiving the “ Excellence in the Conduct of Diplomacy ” award from The Institute for the Study of Diplomacy Edmund Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University Wednesday .
Trump recalled the 30 year plus diplomat , Yovanovitch from her post in Ukraine in May , 2019 .
Although she was recalled by Trump she remained working at the State Department until several weeks ago when she retired .
She was collecting checks , according to an article @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A source that spoke to Fox News said the former ambassador could remain on the State Department payroll for months because , yes , she has been assigned to Georgetown through the department up until her retirement .

It will be moderated by former Deputy Secretary of State Ambassador William J. Burns , who is now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Peace .
Yovanovitch claims her firing was orchestrated by Rudy Giuliani , Trump ’ s personal attorney .
She said he wanted her removal from her post in Kiev .
However , the president can recall any Ambassador assigned overseas for any reason .
And although the House Dems voted to impeach Trump on two articles – abuse of power and obstruction of Congress – related to the Ukraine scandal there was no evidence that he committed any wrongdoing that was impeachable .
The Senate acquitted him of all charges in January .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ editorial for The Washington Post , said she has “ no regrets ” about her decision to testify .
She is staunchly opposed to President Donald Trump ’ s foreign policy and said in the opinion editorial that he “ undermined our democratic institutions.

“ When Congress asked us to testify @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I did not hesitate , even in the face of administration efforts to silence us.
” She testified “ because it is the American way to speak up about wrongdoing .
I have seen dictatorships around the world , where blind obedience is the norm and truth-tellers are threatened with punishment or death , ” she said in her op-ed .
Yovanovitch didn ’ t , however , explain why she allegedly used State Department resources to spy on not only my social media but a slew of other reporters , pundits and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says she understands the danger of dictatorships and political systems that don ’ t afford people their freedoms but it appears she , herself , decided to use similar tactics that these governments she warns about used .

“ In October 2019 , the conservative watchdog @ @ @ @ @ @ @ monitoring , via CrowdTangle and other means , of journalists and persons linked to Trump , ” a press release stated .
