ComEd will pay a $200 million fine as part of a deferred prosecution agreement to end the federal probe, admitting it sought to influence “Public Official A” — identified as the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives without using Madigan’s name — by arranging for his allies and people who performed political work for him to obtain jobs, contracts and payments from ComEd between 2011 and 2019. “ComEd understood that, as Speaker of the House of Representatives, Public Official A was able to exercise control over what measures were called for a vote in the House of Representatives and had substantial influence and control over fellow lawmakers concerning legislation, including legislation that affected ComEd,” federal prosecutors wrote in court filings.

We were told in our task force meetings that we have a serious problem with the lack of PPEs and masks for the health providers who are putting themselves in harm’s way every day to take care of sick people. That’s what the dialogue was in the task force meetings, which led all of us, not just me but also [U.S. Surgeon General] Jerome Adams, to say, “Right now we really need to save the masks for the people who need them most.” When it became clear that the infection could be spread by asymptomatic carriers who don’t know they’re infected, that made it very clear that we had to strongly recommend masks. And also, it soon became clear that we had enough protective equipment and that cloth masks and homemade masks were as good as masks that you would buy from surgical supply stores. So in the context of when we were not strongly recommending it, it was the correct thing. But our knowledge changed and our realization of the state of the outbreak changed… …NO: And how long do you see yourself at the NIAID? A F: I don’t see any termination within the near future because I judge [my career] by my energy and my effectiveness. And right now, with all due modesty, I think I’m pretty effective. I certainly am energetic. And I think everybody thinks I’m doing more than an outstanding job. I have a wife with incredibly good judgment, who will probably give me the signal when it’s time to step down. But I don’t think we’re anywhere near that right now. NO: And is that role determined by the president and the White House? A F: No. NO: You can’t be fired from that role? A F: No….

On Wednesday, Fauci did a nearly one hour remote speaking engagement with Georgetown University that was streamed live on YouTube and carried by C-SPAN.
On Thursday, Fauci did a livestreamed interview with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg that also lasted nearly an hour.
The PR offensive apparently paid off, with Fauci speaking with President Trump on Thursday, the first time since June 2nd that they have spoken with each other.
JUST IN: Dr. Fauci tells me he spoke with President Trump yesterday by phone. Their first conversation since June 2nd. He would not reveal what they discussed. @CBSNews — Paula Reid (@PaulaReidCNN) July 16, 2020
On Friday, Fauci did an TV interview with PBS NewsHour in which he praised New York for dealing with the pandemic.
“…We know that, when you do it properly, you bring down those cases. We have done it. We have done it in New York. New York got hit worse than any place in the world. And they did it correctly by doing the things that you’re talking about.”

thegatewaypundit--2020-07-18--ACLU, Oregon Attorney General Sue Feds for Protecting Portland from Violent Rioters, Antifa Mob

Rosenblum announced her intention to file the lawsuit in U.S. District Court tonight , as a federal police crackdown on Portland continues against the wishes of local elected officials for the 15th consecutive night .
( Disclosure : Rosenblum is married to the co-owner of WW ‘ s parent company . )
“ I share the concerns of our state and local leaders – and our Oregon U.S .
Senators and certain Congressional representatives – that the current escalation of fear and violence in downtown Portland is being driven by federal law enforcement tactics that are entirely unnecessary and out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ These tactics must stop .
They not only make it impossible for people to assert their First Amendment rights to protest peacefully .
They also create a more volatile situation on our streets .
We are today asking the federal court to stop the federal police from secretly stopping and forcibly grabbing Oregonians off our streets , and we are announcing a state criminal investigation , with the Multnomah County District Attorney , into the incident resulting in serious injuries to a peaceful protester — apparently committed by a federal police officer in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ federal administration has chosen Portland to use their scare tactics to stop our residents from protesting police brutality and from supporting the Black Lives Matter movement .
Every American should be repulsed when they see this happening .
If this can happen here in Portland , it can happen anywhere .
”

The Portland Mercury; Matthew Lewis-Rolland, a freelance photographer whom federal agents shot 10 times in the back on Sunday; Justin Yau, a freelance journalist whom federal agents attacked with tear gas; and Doug Brown, a legal observer whom federal agents threatened to shoot. All were wearing high-visibility shirts that said “PRESS” or “legal observer.”
Portions of the official ACLU statement read:
Today’s lawsuit seeks to block federal law enforcement from dispersing, arresting, threatening to arrest, or using physical force against journalists or legal observers. The lawsuit is one of many the ACLU will be filing against federal authorities in Portland for their unconstitutional attacks on people protesting the police killing of George Floyd.
“This is a fight to save our democracy,” said Kelly Simon, interim legal director with the ACLU of Oregon. “Under the direction of the Trump administration, federal agents are terrorizing the community, risking lives, and brutally attacking protesters demonstrating against police brutality. This is police escalation on top of police escalation. These federal agents must be stopped and removed from our city. We will continue to bring the full fire power of the ACLU to bear until this lawless policing ends.”
“Cowardly attacks on those who report police misconduct to the world have no place in a free society,” said Matthew Borden, partner at Braun Hagey & Borden LLP.
The filing adds federal agencies to an existing lawsuit the ACLU of Oregon filed last month against local law enforcement. In that lawsuit, a federal judge issued an order blocking local law enforcement from dispersing, arresting, threatening to arrest, or using physical force against journalists or legal observers at protests until October 30. Today’s filing seeks to extend that order to federal law enforcement.
“What is happening in Portland is an unconstitutional nightmare,” said Vera Eidelman, staff attorney with the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. “This is not law and order. This is lawlessness. The ACLU will not let the government respond to protests against police brutality with still more brutality. We will continue to hold law enforcement at all levels of government accountable, just as we have nationwide.”

Michael Madigan, the Democrat Illinois State Speaker, is the longest serving Speaker in the nation. He runs Chicago and Illinois politics and and has for years. The video below is an excellent summary of the state of the union in Illinois under Madigan’s leadership:
Madigan is Chicago and Illinois politics and Chicago and Illinois politics are corrupt to the core.
The Chicago Sun Times reported in February:
Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan and several of his closest political allies are named in a new federal subpoena seeking records on a former ComEd lobbyist and his consulting work for a tiny southwestern suburb, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned. A significant focus of the subpoena is Raymond T.

Then yesterday it was reported by CBS Chicago:
Following months of speculation about a wide-ranging investigation, federal prosecutors have charged ComEd with a years-long bribery scheme involving the company’s arrangement for jobs, contracts, and payments to allies and associates of Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. ComEd will pay a $200 million fine as part of a deferred prosecution agreement to end the federal probe, admitting it sought to influence “Public Official A” — identified as the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives without using Madigan’s name — by arranging for his allies and people who performed political work for him to obtain jobs, contracts and payments from ComEd between 2011 and 2019.
What’s untold are the connections between ComEd, Chicago politicians like Barack Obama, and the Mueller gang.
The corrupt Chicago political machine has been around for more than a century. No doubt, ComEd and other corporations have had to deal with the machine in order to do business in this city and state for ages. A former ComEd CEO was Tom Ayers, the father of Obama mentor and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.
Exelon is the parent company of ComEd and brags about being the largest energy company in the US. This firm gave heavily to the Obama campaign:
…Exelon contributed at least $227,000 to Obama’s campaign and two top Exelon executives are among his largest fundraisers. According to The Times, Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, also worked as a consultant for Exelon.
In return, Obama gave Exelon numerous government contracts worth millions:
Exelon Was One Of Only Six Electric Utilities Selected For A $200 Million Energy Department Grant And Received A Commitment For $646 Million With “Extremely Generous Financial Terms” From The Treasury Department. “In addition, Exelon, which provides power to more than 6.6 million customers in at least 16 states and the District of Columbia, was chosen as one of only six electric utilities nationwide for the maximum $200 million stimulus grant from the Energy Department. And when the Treasury Department granted loans for renewable energy projects, Exelon landed a commitment for up to $646 million allowing it, on extremely generous financial terms, to finance one of the world’s largest photovoltaic solar projects.” (Eric Lipton, “Ties To Obama Aided In Access for Big Utility,” The New York Times, 8/22/12)
Yesterday, ComEd agreed to pay a $200 million fine for bribery as it relates to the Illinois Speaker Madigan. ComEd has not only spent millions on fines, they also spent millions on legal fees during this most recent episode. WBEZ reported:
Amid a sprawling federal corruption probe, Commonwealth Edison quadrupled its payments last year to a powerhouse Chicago-based law firm that’s representing the utility giant in the investigation of its Springfield lobbying practices, WBEZ has learned. Trending: JUST IN: Fulton County Clerk Releases New Statement on Leaked Trump Docs That Matched Fani Willis’s Indictments and It’s a Doozy Federal regulatory documents show ComEd paid Jenner & Block nearly $2.4 million in 2019 — more than what the power company had reported paying the law firm in the previous four years combined.
What is not reported is that Jenner & Block is the same firm where the Mueller gang leader Andrew Weissmann worked before joining the DOJ in 2011 and the same firm he returned to in May this year. Weissmann announced he was leaving MSNBC after he decided to put together a fund raiser for fellow corrupt Obama associate, Joe Biden:
Reports of Weissmann’s involvement in the Biden campaign fundraiser gave fuel to supporters of President Donald Trump, who have long charged that Weissmann was biased against the president. “It doesn’t get any swampier than this: trying to stage a partisan coup against the president and then raising money for his political opponent,” said Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh. The decision to overtly campaign for Biden comes shortly after it was announced that Weissmann would be rejoining law firm Jenner & Block, where he was a partner before he was hired by the Department of Justice in 2011. He will take over the firm’s investigations division on July 1.
The corruption is complete, from Chicago to Obama to Mueller to Joe Biden all via Illinois Speaker Mike Madigan.

Hillary responded to a tweet of an article at the Hill entitled:
Kellyanne Conway: “President Trump took on Hillary Clinton in all 3 debates. She looked like it was an indignity to share the stage with him.”
Hillary’s response was:
It was. See: The last four years.
Hillary’s response tells us much about what she’s thinking, where her heart is, and why she lost:
She cannot get over her election day loss (she couldn’t even hold a concession speech the night of her loss and still is not over it today).
She is not able to admit that her efforts led to the four years of investigations and prosecutorial harassment of anyone who supported President Trump. She was behind the Steele dossier which was a nasty made-up set of lies about President Trump which the Obama Administration used to spy on candidate and President Trump. Hillary did this to the candidate she was running against. It was criminal.
Hillary is not willing to admit that President Trump is our greatest President in a century, if not ever. He turned around the economy and made it the greatest ever. He instituted America first policies that again put America the leader in so many ways – economic, oil production, stock markets, etc…
She still thinks she is better than others. She is claiming it was indignant to stand beside the Republican Presidential candidate – a man who is a self-made billionaire, a real estate tycoon, a best selling author, the subject of the top TV show in the US for years, the father of brilliant and beautiful children and the husband of a Sports Illustrated super model. If anyone should have felt that way, it was President Trump.
Americans thank God that Hillary was not elected President. She hasn’t accepted that yet.


thegatewaypundit--2020-07-18--WHO Hires PR Firm to Find Celebrity Influencers to Cover the Many WHO COVID-19 Lies for China

Back in January the WHO and its General Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the coronavirus was nothing to worry about .
The WHO said there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission : But soon after this , Dr. Tedros and the WHO went from the coronavirus being no big deal to projecting massive death from the coronavirus .

Tedros claimed in a press conference in early March that the fatality rate for the coronavirus was 3.4 % — many multiples that of the fatality rate of the common flu which is estimated to be around 0.1 % .
This egregiously false premise led to the greatest global panic in world history .
The Gateway Pundit reported , that the coronavirus fatality rate reported by the liberal mainstream media was completely inaccurate and the actual rate was more like a typical seasonal flu and less than 1 % – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this month our numbers were confirmed .
The CDC stated that at minimum 20 million Americans have had the coronavirus that have not been tested resulting in the coronavirus mortality rates similar to the flu .
President Trump eventually decided to break away from the WHO and stop funding them , but the US CDC responded to say they would keep working with the WHO anyways .
The numbers now show that if you are under 60 , the China coronavirus mortality rate is similar or less than that of the flu .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a scam .

Hill + Knowlton outlined a plan of action in its proposal that was included in the filing .
“ There has been criticism and assertions leveled against the World Health Organization ( WHO ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a trusted and critical information source on global public health issues , ” the PR firm wrote .
The objective is to “ ensure there is trust in the WHO ’ s advice and that public health guidance is followed.
” In addition to celebrity influencers , Hill + Knowlton said that it will identify “ microinfluencers ” who have smaller , niche followings , as well as lesser known people such as health experts who appear on news programs .

(Above Texas Republican Chairman James Dickey)
According to the Texan nine hours ago:
Federal Judge Lynn Hughes of the U.S. Southern District Court granted immediate relief to the Republican Party of Texas (RPT) Friday afternoon, requiring the City of Houston to make available the George R. Brown Convention Center both this weekend and next weekend, if necessary, for the party’s convention. This morning, the RPT joined the lawsuit after a rough first go at its virtual convention. Earlier this week, the Texas Supreme Court denied the RPT’s separate request for relief to hold its convention in person after the City of Houston canceled the George R. Brown convention center’s contract. The case that RPT signed onto this morning, overseen by Steven Hotze, had been denied previously. But after the party joined, Hughes deemed there was new standing for the lawsuit.
But this didn’t stop the Houston Democrats from making a mess of the Texas Republican convention. According to the Houston Conservative Forum:
The Republican Party of Texas (RPT) was never serious about litigating Houston First’s cancellation of the contract that permitted the RPT to use the George R. Brown Convention Center (GRB) for the State Convention.
The article above shows the Republican Party is confused with how to react to the China coronavirus. Democrats are clear on what they want to do – shut down the US economy and riot until the 2020 election in November. The Republicans aren’t really sure what they want to do.
Dickey opted to hold the Republican convention online per the Texan:
Despite the new allowance, Dickey added, “The RPT is on track to hold its convention online with its approved plan from the State Republican Executive Committee,” but “if for any reason there is an issue tomorrow, we know that we have a single location where, with the necessary SREC authorizations, we could hold Congressional District Caucuses to elect our National Delegates and Alternates and Presidential Electors for President Donald J. Trump.”
But apparently it’s turning into a mess. Today we’ve received reports that “Republican delegates still haven’t received links to MeetingPulse, the software they are to use to access the online convention, and therefore they are unable to vote today… that’s how chaotic it is”.
Another report comes from a delegate who shared with us that a vote has been taken and yet many delegates are not yet even credentialed.
The Texas Republican Convention online is turning into a mess. This is just what the Democrats wanted.

WOW! Chris Wallace Carries Water for Democrats – Says Biden Never Said to Defund Police Even Though He Said He Would Redirect Police Funding (VIDEO)

Ady Barkan : The leaders of the movement for Black Lives believe that we have been trying to reform police departments for many decades and it is not working @ @ @ @ @ @ @ solution is to reduce the number of interactions that civilians have with the police .
We can reduce the responsibilities assigned to the police and redirect some of the funding for police into social services , mental health counseling and affordable housing .
So , for example , instead of sending two police officers with deadly weapons to that Wendy ’ s drive-through in Atlanta , we could have sent a wellness counselor and a tow truck and then Rayshard Brooks would still be alive today and his 3 daughters would still have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that kind of reform ?
… Joe Biden : “ Yes !
the last thing you need is some up-armored humvee coming into the neighborhood just like the did in Haiti .
They don ’ t know anybody .
