Ook vreemd omdat ik verder ook niet echt een link zie met z'n staat. Voor zover ik weet is de productie van privéjets nou niet iets waar Ohio om bekend staat.

Former Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak said he couldn’t name all of the officials connected to President Trump that he’s spoken with or met because “the list is so long.”

In an interview with state-owned TV station Russia-1 first reported by CNBC, Kislyak refused to name the Trump officials he’s spoken with.

"First, I'm never going to do that," Kislyak said, according to CNBC. "And second, the list is so long that I'm not going to be able to go through it in 20 minutes."

Kislyak’s interview comes after contentious testimony by Attorney General Jeff Sessions before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday in which he clashed with Democrats over whether he lied under oath during his confirmation hearing when he said he had no knowledge of contacts between Trump campaign associates and Russia.

“That is exactly the opposite answer you gave under oath to the U.S. Senate,” said Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.). “Either you’re lying to the U.S. Senate or you’re lying to the U.S. House of Representatives.”

“My story has never changed,” Sessions shot back. “I have always told the truth.”

During his confirmation hearing in January, Sessions told members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that he was unaware of contact between Trump campaign surrogates and Russian government “intermediaries” and also said he “did not have communications with the Russians.”

But it was later revealed that Sessions met with Kislyak, then Russia's ambassador to the U.S., twice during the 2016 campaign. Those revelations led to Sessions's recusal from all Justice Department investigations related to Russia.

Trump himself met with Kislyak in the Oval Office in May. Kislyak left the Russian Embassy in July.

‘Private Jet Deduction’ in Tax Bill Isn’t Quite What It Seems
Did you hear the one about the “private jet deduction” in Senate Republicans’ tax bill?

There’s less to it than that—and it’s backed by one of the most liberal Democrats in the Senate.

The provision attempts to ensure an excise tax for commercial airline flights isn’t imposed on private flights operated through management companies. Under the law, private jet owners pay a higher fuel tax than commercial airlines do but no ticket tax, said Troy Rolf, an aviation tax attorney at GKG Law.

After years of court cases and Internal Revenue Service audits, some of the definitions had gotten vague or confusing. The proposal says those aircraft management services, such as storage and maintenance costs, are exempt from the ticket tax.

“It’s really just, I think, clarifying what the law was always intended to do in the first place,” Mr. Rolf said. “As the IRS kept expanding what they would consider to be commercial, no one really knew.”

The main Senate bill on this issue was sponsored by Sen. Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio), who spent four days in the Finance Committee this week railing against corporate handouts in a bill he opposes. According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, the provision reduces federal revenue by less than $50 million over a decade.

“This provision in no way cuts taxes for private jet owners,” said Jennifer Donohue, a spokeswoman for Mr. Brown. “It simply clarifies what the law already says—that service companies made up of mechanics and service workers don’t pay ticket taxes, because they don’t sell tickets.”

Mr. Brown’s home-state colleague, Republican Rob Portman, wrote the amendment that got the provision into the Senate bill.

“This bipartisan proposal clarifies the intent of the law and stops a specific IRS abuse when the agency chose to ignore the law,” said Kevin Smith, a spokesman for Mr. Portman.

Why Ohio?

That’s the home of NetJets and Executive Jet Management, companies owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. A NetJets spokeswoman didn’t respond to requests for comment on Friday.

In het artikel staat zoals je kon zien als je het gelezen had een referentie naar MSNBC. Bovendien staan er citaten en een filmpje met het interview van Jackie Speier.

Hier hadden we het gister toch al over? Deze mevrouw heeft al eerder gelogen vanwege politiek, dus om haar nu ineens serieus te nemen lijkt me niet heel erg voor de hand liggen.

Buiten dat, dit is de eerste bron: https://mediaequalizer.co(...)nken-harassed-me-too Toch beter om dat meteen te linken?

En het gaat over dat Franken erg boos op haar was ... allrighty then.
