His endorsement will be sought by Biden, Bloomberg, and others and he also would be a serious contender for a cabinet slot if the Democrats were to win the White House.
His appeal to moderate voters would have been greatly eclipsed by Biden on Super Tuesday, especially given Biden’s new momentum after his win in South Carolina on Saturday.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-02--Federal Judge Orders Sworn Deposition for Hillary Clinton Over Private Emails

On Monday , a federal judge agreed with conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch and their request to have Hillary Clinton participate in a sworn deposition over use of her private email server to carry out government business .
Clinton claims she has already answered questions on this matter and should not have to revisit the issue .
Federal Judge Said Clinton ’ s Answers Weren ’ t Good Enough the First Time Around D.C. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth disagrees .
He essentially said in his ruling Monday that her past answers did not satisfy all the questions .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Suggests Bloomberg Scheming to Give Hillary the Nomination “ As extensive as the existing record is , it does not sufficiently explain Secretary Clinton ’ s state of mind when she decided it would be an acceptable practice to set up and use a private server to conduct State Department business , ” Lamberth said .
The judge also said that while Clinton answered written questions in a separate case , “ those responses were either incomplete , unhelpful , or cursory at best .
Simply put her responses left many more questions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more to learn ’ Lamberth said that using written questions for another deposition “ will only muddle any understanding of Secretary Clinton ’ s state of mind and fail to capture the full picture , this delaying the final disposition of this case even further.
” This decision comes after Judicial Watch reported at a conference in December 2019 that the FBI released “ approximately thirty previously undisclosed Clinton emails , ” and that the State Department “ failed to fully explain ” their source .
For some time the State Department has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this case , but Lamberth said now is not the time to do so and that “ there is still more to learn.

Don ’ t Bet On It Clinton has never really been taken to aggressively task on the question of her misuse of email servers , and certainly not with the vigor with which the government and media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Russia .
After a thorough months-long investigation by Robert Muller , Trump wasn ’ t charged with any crimes .
What could a new Hillary Clinton deposition turn up ?
And will the media clamor for it like they did with Trump and Russiagate ?
We already know the answer .

“As extensive as the existing record is, it does not sufficiently explain Secretary Clinton’s state of mind when she decided it would be an acceptable practice to set up and use a private server to conduct State Department business,” Lamberth said.
The judge also said that while Clinton answered written questions in a separate case, “those responses were either incomplete, unhelpful, or cursory at best. Simply put her responses left many more questions than answers.”

“ Instead , financing has increased .

Michael Bloomberg was called out by reporter Scott Pelley during a ’60 Minutes’ interview for spreading a lie about President Trump’s comments on the coronavirus.
Pelley, a CBS News reporter, asked Bloomberg for his thoughts on the coronavirus emergency. The Democrat candidate for President responded by spreading his own hoax.
“I find it incomprehensible that the president would do something as inane as calling it ‘a hoax,” Bloomberg falsely claimed.
Pelley stepped in to correct Bloomberg, who didn’t even bother to admit he had misspoken.
“He said the Democrats making so much of it is a Democratic hoax, not that the virus was a hoax,” Pelley explained.
To rehash – Bloomberg lied about the President’s comments, then accused Trump of being “inane,” “ignorant,” and “irresponsible.”
Pot, meet kettle.

Democrat Hoax
Fascinating, isn’t it, that President Trump would call hysteria over the coronavirus generated by Democrats and the media a hoax, and they would proceed to prove his point by flat-out lying about what was said.
Here’s the reality.
Trump told supporters at a campaign rally that the resistance party would do everything in their power to use the coronavirus emergency as a means to take him down – similar to the Russia collusion witch hunt.
“Now, the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus,” Trump said.
He added, “One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.’ That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. And this is their new hoax.”
If you are pushing the narrative that Trump called coronavirus a “hoax,” you’re lying. It’s pretty obvious what he’s saying here. pic.twitter.com/RlSoJ8ZSb8 — Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) February 29, 2020

Not Mini-Mike’s First Lie, Probably Not His Last
Having a reporter call you out in the middle of a ’60 Minutes’ interview for being a liar isn’t the first time Bloomberg has been embarrassed on the national stage.
It’s not even the first time a normally Democrat-cooperative media has called him out for lying about the coronavirus itself.
Just last week, the Associated Press fact-checked Bloomberg along with other Democrat colleagues for distorting the truth about the Trump administration’s preparedness in dealing with coronavirus.
“There’s nobody here to figure out what the hell we should be doing,” Biden said during a debate. “And he’s defunded — he’s defunded Centers for Disease Control, CDC, so we don’t have the organization we need. This is a very serious thing.”
Not so, according to the AP.
“Bloomberg is repeating the false allegation in a new ad that states the U.S. is unprepared for the virus because of ‘reckless cuts’ to the CDC,” the AP reports.
“Trump’s budgets have proposed cuts to public health, only to be overruled by Congress, where there’s strong bipartisan support for agencies such as the CDC and NIH,” they added. “Instead, financing has increased.”

It has just been revealed that six Democrats and two independent elected officials from the state of Mississippi have officially switched party affiliations to become Republicans.
“We have had a relentless focus on switching conservative Democrats over to the Republican Party,” Mississippi GOP Chairman Lucien Smith told WLBT News . “They recognize increasingly that there is only one party that represents the conservative values of our state, and that is the Republican Party.”
Smith went on to say that he is expecting more elected officials in his state, which is heavily Republican, to follow suit and switch affiliations as well.

“There are conservatives Democrats all across the state of Mississippi, and there was once upon a time when the conservative Democrats controlled this state,” Sullivan said in explaining his decision. “It’s a new day in Mississippi, and I believe the Republican Party is growing, and there’s a place in the Republican Party for people like me.”
Republican Gov. Tate Reeves explained that he feels much of the reason behind the switches is the contrast between President Donald Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who is the current frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination. This has left voters feeling like their choice is to either support Trump or support a Socialist.
“We are in a scenario in this country where you can choose to be a member of the party led by Donald J. Trump, or you can choose to be a member of the socialist Democratic party led by Bernie Sanders,” he said.

Don’t be surprised if more and more Democrats from across the country start jumping ship in the coming months, should Sanders continue to get close to winning the nomination. While radicals love Sanders, many moderate Democrats are appalled by the thought of having a Socialist president, and they will undoubtedly start to see the light that Trump is a far better option for the future of our country.
Democrats have made a huge mistake allowing Sanders to get this far, and he may just end up costing them more voters than they can even imagine.

Senator Ron Johnson ( R-WI ) , the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee , is getting ready to force a vote on the first subpoena in his investigation into Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings and Hunter Biden , the son of former Vice President Joe Biden .
In a letter sent to committee members on Sunday , Johnson wrote that it is his “ intention to schedule a business meeting to consider a committee subpoena ” of a former consultant for Blue Star Strategies .
That same consultant formerly worked as a U.S. representative for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of the committee ’ s ongoing investigation , it has received U.S. government records indicating that Blue Star sought to leverage Hunter Biden ’ s role as a board member of Burisma to gain access to , and potentially influence matters at , the State Department , ” Johnson wrote in the le tter , according to The Hill .

If he can ’ t convince Peters to change his mind , Johnson will need a simple majority of the GOP-controlled panel in order to vote to issue the subpoena .

“ Because Mr. Telizhenko ’ s records and information would be responsive to the committee ’ s requests , and Blue Star has refused to provide them , a subpoena to Mr. Telizhenko for these records is appropriate at this time , ” Johnson wrote in the letter .
“ Accordingly , I will be scheduling a vote in the near future to approve issuing the enclosed subpoena.

Conservative billionaire Paul Singer was once a Never-Trumper , even though he donated $ 24 million to GOP candidates and causes in 2016 .
But after the president took office in 2017 he changed his mind .
The president welcomed him on board .
“ As you know , Paul was very much involved with the anti-Trump or as they say ‘ Never Trump , ’ and Paul just left [ the White House ] and he ’ s given us his total support and it ’ s all about unification .
So , I want to thank Paul Singer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the office .
He was a very strong opponent and now he ’ s a very strong ally and I appreciate that.
” Now Singer has bought a major stake in Twitter and will seek to end the anti-Trump and anti-conservative bias there by working to oust Twitter founder and hard-core leftist Jack Dorsey .
If Singer is successful it would deny the Democrats and the Left one of their major propaganda platforms going into the 2020 general election .
