Comey should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ General Flynn .

The Justice Department dropped its case against General Mike Flynn Thursday after bombshell documents released proved he was framed by Comey’s FBI.
Comey lashed out at the leadership of the DOJ after the Department dropped its case against Flynn.
“The DOJ has lost its way. But, career people: please stay because America needs you. The country is hungry for honest, competent leadership.” Comey said in a tweet.
The DOJ has lost its way. But, career people: please stay because America needs you. The country is hungry for honest, competent leadership. — James Comey (@Comey) May 7, 2020
Recall, US Attorney General Bill Barr assigned his top counsel to be the interim US Attorney in Washington, D.C. to oversee the lingering Mueller cases.
Mr. Barr chose his top counsel at the DOJ, Timothy Shea, to replace outgoing US Attorney Jessie Liu to “oversee some of the lingering cases from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.”
Timothy Shea got to work releasing Brady material that Mueller’s thug attorney Brandon Van Grack had been withholding from Flynn’s lawyers and the Court.
Flynn’s lawyer Sidney Powell relentlessly fought to have Flynn’s case dismissed and on Thursday her hard work paid off.
The DOJ said in its motion to dismiss that “The interview of Mr. Flynn was untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn.”
The DOJ was referring to the January 24, 2017 ambush FBI interview conducted by FBI counterintel chief Peter Strzok and FBI special agent Joe Pientka.
Comey previously bragged to Nicolle Wallace that he sent Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka to the White House to ambush General Flynn.
“I sent them,” Comey said as Nicolle Wallace giggled like a schoolgirl.
Comey should be prosecuted and thrown in prison for framing General Flynn.

But the shelved report also said that as restaurants start seating diners again , they should space tables at least 6 feet apart and try to use phone app technology to alert a patron when their table is ready to avoid touching and use of “ buzzers.
” That ’ s not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ You can say that restaurants can open and you need to follow social distancing guidelines .
But restaurants want to know , ‘ What does that look like ?

The 17-page report by a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention team, titled “Guidance for Implementing the Opening Up America Again Framework,” was researched and written to help faith leaders, business owners, educators and state and local officials as they begin to reopen.
It was supposed to be published last Friday, but agency scientists were told the guidance “would never see the light of day,” according to a CDC official. The official was not authorized to talk to reporters and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The AP obtained a copy from a second federal official who was not authorized to release it. The guidance was described in last week, prior to the White House decision to shelve it.
The Trump administration has been closely controlling the release of guidance and information during the pandemic spurred by a new coronavirus that scientists are still trying to understand, with the president himself leading freewheeling daily briefings until last week.
Traditionally, it’s been the CDC’s role to give the public and local officials guidance and science-based information during public health crises. During this one, however, the CDC has not had a regular, pandemic-related news briefing in nearly two months. CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield has been a member of the White House coronavirus task force, but largely absent from public appearances…
…Some of the report’s suggestions already appear on federal websites. But the guidance offered specific, tailored recommendations for reopening in one place.
For example, the report suggested restaurants and bars should install sneeze guards at cash registers and avoid having buffets, salad bars and drink stations. Similar tips appear on the CDC’s site and a Food and Drug Administration page.
But the shelved report also said that as restaurants start seating diners again, they should space tables at least 6 feet apart and try to use phone app technology to alert a patron when their table is ready to avoid touching and use of “buzzers.” That’s not on the CDC’s site now.
“You can say that restaurants can open and you need to follow social distancing guidelines. But restaurants want to know, ‘What does that look like?’ States would like more guidance,” said Dr. Marcus Plescia, chief medical officer of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials.

Throwing Texans in jail whose biz's shut down through no fault of their own is wrong. I am eliminating jail for violating an order, retroactive to April 2, superseding local orders.

And here we thought Democrats were against internment camps?
Guess not.
Ventura County officials in California announced plans to remove infected residents with the Wuhan virus from their homes and place them in quarantine centers.
On Wednesday, Ventura County Health Director Robert Levin’s confusing announcement suggested that the updated quarantine plans would be forcible, are underway and will continue.
Robert Levin: Some of the people we find are going to have a hard time being isolated. If they live in a home where there is only one bathroom and there are three or four other people living there and those people don’t have covid infections we’re not going to be able to keep that person in that home. Every person who we’re isolating needs to have their own bathroom. So we’ll be moving people like this in to other kinds of housing that we have available.
As Victoria Taft pointed out Ventura County has 846,000 people and only 595 total cases since March.
This is insane.

Update: This post has been updated to reflect Ventura County Health Director’s Levin lack of clarity in his initial remarks.
“I either misspoke or was misinterpreted — I’ll take the blame of having misspoken,” he said on May 6, 2020. “Yesterday, at this conference, at the Board of Supervisors, and I gave people the impression that if you were isolated, you would be taken out of your home and put into a hotel room or a motel room or sequestered in some other way.
“If I did do that, I am very sorry,” he said. “That is an option. That is possible. If you become infected, you don’t want to stay in your home, you’re afraid that you’re going to expose other people, we’ll work with you to find a place to stay.”
