[AMV] Amerikaanse politiek #517: Trade war.. Trade war never changes

Giuliani suggests Trump may pardon Manafort after Mueller’s probe

White House lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani suggested Sunday that President Trump might pardon his former campaign manager Paul Manafort if he is convicted — but only after special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has completed his investigation.

“When it’s over, hey, he’s the president of the United States, he retains his pardon power, nobody’s taking that away from him,” Giuliani said on CNN’s “State of the Union” when asked whether Trump would pardon Manafort should he be convicted. “I couldn’t and I don’t want to take any prerogatives away from him.”

But Giuliani stressed that Trump has not issued, would not issue and should not issue any pardons related to the Mueller probe while it is still ongoing, so as not to give the appearance that he has anything to hide.

“The president has not issued pardons in this investigation. The president is not going to issue pardons in this investigation, and my advice to him as long as I am his lawyer is not to do it because you just cloud what is becoming now a very clear picture of an extremely unfair investigation with no criminality involved of any kind,” Giuliani said.

Klinkt weer geruststellend van Giuliani. Ten eerste is hij dus actief bezig om Trump van gratie af te praten tijdens het onderzoek, en daarnaast geeft hij al een signaal dat hij gaat vertrekken.

“This is the first that we've heard about it, and it is deeply disturbing because if this was shared by New York field agents with Devin Nunes, was it also shared with Rudy Giuliani? Or did Devin Nunes do something, which we have seen subsequently, which is coordinated with the Trump team?” Schiff said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“Was this information shared by the committee with Rudy Giuliani or shared directly with them? We don't know the answer but we hope the inspector general will find out,” Schiff added.

Witch Hunt! reageer retweet

quote:

The FBI agent who was removed from the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign for sending anti-Trump texts intends to testify before the House Judiciary Committee and any other congressional committee that asks, his attorney said in a letter made public Sunday.

Peter Strzok, who was singled out in a recent Justice Department inspector general report for the politically charged messages, would be willing to testify without immunity, and he would not invoke his Fifth Amendment rights in response to any question, his attorney, Aitan Goelman, said in an interview Sunday. Strzok has become a special target of President Trump, who has used the texts to question the Russia investigation.

Goelman said Strzok "wants the chance to clear his name and tell his story."

"He thinks that his position, character and actions have all been misrepresented and caricatured, and he wants an opportunity to remedy that," the lawyer said.

If Strzok were to testify publicly, the hearing could be explosive, perhaps exposing new details about investigators' thinking on some of the FBI's most ­high-profile probes.

Strzok had a leadership role on both the investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, as well as the probe into whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 election. That investigation is now being led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who once considered Strzok a key member of his team but removed him once informed of the anti-Trump messages.

Goelman said he had not discussed any dates with lawmakers on when Strzok might appear at a hearing. Politico reported that House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) had started the process to subpoena Strzok, though Goelman said that the lawmaker had done so without having asked whether Strzok might appear voluntarily.

Goelman, who is with the firm Zuckerman Spaeder, wrote in a letter to Goodlatte that a subpoena would be "wholly unnecessary."

"Special Agent Strzok, who has been fully cooperative with the DOJ Office of Inspector General, intends to voluntarily appear and testify before your committee and any other congressional committee that invites him," Goelman wrote.

Spokesmen for Goodlatte did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment ­Sunday.

But they are still children in cages, not gangsters, not delinquents. Just children, 900 of them, in a makeshift border-town processing center that is larger than a football field. They pass the day sitting on benches or lying side by side on tiny blue mattresses pressed up against each other on nearly every square inch of the floor in the fenced areas.

The White House's "zero tolerance" immigration policy and resulting separations of undocumented parents and kids is exploding into the most emotive and politically unpredictable test yet of President Donald Trump's effort to change the character of America.

As outrage grows over traumatic stories of families being torn apart, the big question this week in Washington is how long the controversial practice will be politically sustainable amid a wave of criticism.
A related issue is whether Trump will pay a political price for his false claim that the separations are the fault of Democrats, and not the result of his own administration's change in how undocumented immigrants are treated.

Those questions are likely to be shaped by increasing calls for the administration to consider the morality of separating families. It's not just the usual Democrats who are criticizing the administration -- some prominent Republicans, including first lady Melania Trump and former first lady Laura Bush, religious leaders and influential figures in Trump's conservative evangelical base, are also speaking out.

This perspective persisted through the four decades of the Cold War. In the 1980s, US President Ronald Reagan saw the G-7 first and foremost not as an economic bargaining forum but as a vehicle for coordinating Western strategy toward Moscow. The 1983 summit in Williamsburg, Virginia, for example, clinched a historic deal to station US cruise and Pershing missiles in Europe.

Fast forward again to 2018, and it is not surprising that a US administration no longer sees an overriding political need to restrain itself from pushing allies into making trade concessions. The Soviet Union no longer exists. To the extent that the administration's detractors argue that its demands are unreasonable, or that the United States has bigger fish to fry - like maintaining solidarity in the face of Russian aggression - Trump's response would presumably be twofold. First, a better deal is always better - "reasonable" is for chumps. Second, if geopolitics stand in the way of the United States getting better trade deals, then geopolitics should give way. Americans don't care about Crimea; they don't care about the abstractions of democracy. They care about winning trade wars.

Als je via illegale weg het land probeert binnen te komen overtreed je de wet. Gewoon terugsturen die hap. Kom maar langs legale weg het land binnen. Stuur je kinderen niet vooruit en dan hopen op chain migration.

Als je de wet overtreedt dan loop je het risico dat de kinderen worden gescheiden van de ouders. Dat geldt ook voor alle criminelen die in de bak zitten! Kinderen nimmer scheiden van ouders? Mooi, schaf de kinderbescherming maar af en laat alle criminelen vrij die kinderen hebben.

TM: Even if they crossed at a legal entry point?

AC: Very few people come to the bridge. Border Patrol is saying the bridge is closed. [...] but there are hundreds of accounts of asylum seekers, when they go to the bridge, who are told, “I’m sorry, we’re full today. We can’t process your case.” So the families [...] cross without a visa on a raft. Many of them then look for Border Patrol to turn themselves in, because they know they’re going to ask for asylum. And under this government theory—you know, in the past, we’ve had international treaties, right? Statutes which codified the right of asylum seekers to ask for asylum. Right? Article 31 of the Refugee Convention clearly says that it is improper for any state to use criminal laws that could deter asylum seekers as long as that asylum seeker is asking for asylum within a reasonable amount of time. But our administration is kind of ignoring this longstanding international and national jurisprudence of basic beliefs to make this distinction that, if you come to a bridge, we’re not going to prosecute you, but if you come over the river and then find immigration or are caught by immigration, we’re prosecuting you.

TM: So if you cross any other way besides the bridge, we’re prosecuting you. But . . . you can’t cross the bridge.

AC: That’s right.

US could end up holding 30,000 migrant children by August: report

The government could be holding up to 30,000 migrant children by the end of August if current detention rates continue, the Washington Examiner reported.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is currently taking in about 250 migrant children a day, a senior administration official told the Examiner. The department is responsible for migrant children after they are separated from their parents.

HHS expects to continue taking in children at that rate for the next two months, according to the official, meaning it could be responsible for 18,500 more children by the end of the summer.

Currently, 11,500 children are under HHS custody, the official told the Examiner.

Last month, the Trump administration announced a “zero tolerance” immigration policy that would have federal agents aggressively prosecute adults attempting to cross the southern border illegally. The policy leads children to be separated from their parents as a result of adults having to be prosecuted separately.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions, upon announcing the policy, said it would lead to more separations but would also act to deter future migrants from crossing the border.

The policy has been widely criticized, but the Trump administration has defended it by saying adults entering the U.S. illegally need to be prosecuted, even if it means their children are taken away from them.

President Trump has repeatedly blamed Democrats for the administration’s policy, but has not committed to fixing the family separation issue.
