Waarom zijn de republikeinen eigenlijk niet heel hard bezig met het onmogelijk maken van misbruik van FISA?

Moet die uitbreiding van FISA (waar Nunes meen ik zelf mee te maken) had niet worden teruggedraaid? De democraten waren er al niet gelukkig mee, maar nu de GOP ook nadelen ziet in haar eigen wet kan men deze toch beter direct afschaffen?quote:Drain the swamptwitter:thehill twitterde op donderdag 01-02-2018 om 20:46:04 "New FBI messages reveal agents searching for way to evade federal record requirements" https://t.co/3A5cqS90Mv https://t.co/I8OTy8ewPo reageer retweet

Trump administration strips consumer watchdog office of enforcement powers in lending discrimination cases
quote:The Trump administration has stripped enforcement powers from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau office that specializes in pursuing cases against financial firms accused of breaking discrimination laws, according to two people familiar with the matter and emails reviewed by The Washington Post.
The move comes about two months after President Trump installed his budget chief, Mick Mulvaney, at the head of an agency that has long been in the crosshairs of Republicans. The Office of Fair Lending and Equal Opportunity had penalized lenders that it said had systematically imposed interest rates on minorities that were higher than those for whites.
Now that office, which had been part a powerful CFPB division, will move inside the office of the director, where staffers will be focused on “advocacy, coordination and education,” according to an email Mulvaney sent them this week. They will no longer have responsibility for enforcement and day-to-day oversight of companies, he said.
Instead, those responsibilities will remain with the division of supervision, enforcement and fair lending, which conducts oversight and enforcement actions in a wide range of cases of financial wrongdoing. The Office of Fair Lending had previously been part of this division.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd. Je moet je daarvoor eerst gratis Registreren.

McDaniel responded by saying she was not present when Trump's alleged remark during a meeting with lawmakers took place. She also said there were differing accounts of what transpired, that the president denied saying "shithole," and that the party stood by him.

Rising White House fear: Nunes memo is a dud
quote:Inside the Trump administration, sources who've been briefed on the Nunes memo expect it will be underwhelming and not the “slam dunk” document it's been hyped up to be.

Tja, zodra die memo bekend wordt, gaan de stukken die context geven aan het cherry picking in de memo ook openbaar worden. Wat duidelijk zal maken dat die hele memo inderdaad gewoon fake news is van de categorie 'you didn't build this'quote:

Lawyers for Rick Gates withdraw from Russia case
quote:Three attorneys representing Rick Gates told a federal court Thursday they are immediately withdrawing as counsel for the former Donald Trump campaign aide, who is fighting special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of him on money laundering and other charges.
Lawyers Shanlon Wu, Walter Mack and Annemarie McAvoy said in a two-page motion that they would explain the reasons for their abrupt move in documents filed under seal with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
“The document speaks for itself,” McAvoy told POLITICO, declining further comment.
