Manafort’s Lawyers Say Prosecutors Twisted Memory Lapses as Lies
quote:Paul Manafort’s lawyers on Wednesday strongly disputed claims by prosecutors working for the special counsel that Mr. Manafort repeatedly lied to them, including about the transfer of campaign polling data to a Russian citizen with ties to Kremlin-run intelligence services in spring 2016.
The lawyers argued in a new court filing that the prosecutors had wrongly interpreted honest memory lapses and innocent misstatements by Mr. Manafort as deliberate attempts to deceive them about his interactions with the Russian citizen, Konstantin Kilimnik, who received the polling data in 2016 as Donald J. Trump was closing in on the Republican presidential nomination.
“Failure of memory is not akin to a false statement,” Mr. Manafort’s lawyers said.
If the federal judge in Washington who is overseeing the case, Amy Berman Jackson, decides that Mr. Manafort intentionally misled the prosecutors working for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, after agreeing to cooperate with them, she would presumably be less likely to show leniency on March 5, when she is to sentence him on two conspiracy charges.
But as a practical matter, Mr. Manafort, 69, stood little chance of receiving less than 10 years for those crimes even before prosecutors accused him of breaching his plea agreement by lying to them about his dealings with Mr. Kilimnik and other matters. He is also awaiting sentencing for eight other felonies.
Judge Jackson has scheduled a hearing for Friday on the prosecutors’ accusations.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd. Je moet je daarvoor eerst gratis Registreren.

Senators hope defeat of dueling plans produces a solution to shutdowntwitter:WaPoSean twitterde op donderdag 24-01-2019 om 03:50:41 For the first time this year, the Senate is taking concrete steps to try to resolve the partial shutdown — offering a glimmer of hope for a deal to reopen shuttered agencies.https://t.co/dhFk5FWjwb reageer retweet
For the first time this year, the Senate is taking concrete steps to try to resolve the partial shutdown — offering a glimmer of hope for a deal to reopen shuttered agencies.quote:The Senate plans to hold dueling votes Thursday to end the longest government shutdown in history. Like many, Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) thinks both proposals will fail.
That, in the eyes of Rounds and others, is the point.
“I think this is basically a public statement of what all of us know to already be the case,” Rounds said in an interview. “But it provides an avenue.”
Where that road will lead is an open question. Still, for the first time this year, the Senate is taking concrete steps to try to resolve the partial shutdown — offering a glimmer of hope for a deal to reopen shuttered agencies.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) agreed to hold initial votes on two starkly contrasting ideas that some lawmakers hope will mark a small but important step toward a solution.
The votes will test the abilities of McConnell and Schumer to unify their sides, and likely, to negotiate with each other afterward. In other dramatic fiscal showdowns over the past decade, the Senate has almost always been the chamber that found the bipartisan solution as the House hit roadblocks, from the Wall Street bailout of 2008 to reopening of government after the 2013 shutdown. But those were crises that predated President Trump’s mercurial presidency.
In effect, the defeat of both measures would demonstrate in the most concrete manner yet that what both sides have been pushing for is not possible in the Senate, and that some new compromise must be forged to pass the chamber.
Such a scenario might entice Trump to offer more concessions to Democrats while serving as a counter to Democrats’ insistence that there is overwhelming support for their plan, according to a Senate Republican leadership aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to be candid.
“Sometimes failure is a prelude to people looking at each other and saying, well, now we know what will fail, let’s try to devise something that will succeed,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) in an interview.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd. Je moet je daarvoor eerst gratis Registreren.

Young Voters Keep Moving to the Left on Social Issues, Republicans Included
quote:As a self-described political conservative, Reagan Larson might seem to be a natural fit for the Republican Party. The 19-year-old college student from South Dakota grew up in a Catholic household that objected to same-sex marriage, and she remains firmly opposed to abortion.
But in many ways, that is where the ideological similarities end. Ms. Larson, a dual major in biology and Spanish at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minn., does not oppose the legalization of marriage equality. She views climate change as undeniable, believes “immigrants make our country richer,” and disagrees with her parents on the need for a border wall.
Ms. Larson is part of Generation Z, one of the most ethnically diverse and progressive age groups in American history. People born after 1996 tend to espouse similar views to the age cohort just ahead of them, the Millennials, but they are far more open to social change than older generations have been, according to the findings of a new report by the Pew Research Center. The findings mark a shift that could substantially reshape the nation’s political and economic landscape.
According to the study — which was based on online surveys of 920 youths aged 13 to 17 and nearly 11,000 adults 18 or older — only 30 percent of Generation Z respondents said they approved of President Trump’s performance; more than half believed humans were fueling climate change; and 70 percent said they wanted the government to do more to solve the nation’s problems. Those views roughly mirror attitudes held by Millennials, and together, the two age groups may add up to a powerful voting bloc at odds with Republican orthodoxy, political scientists say.
“This should be an alert to the Republican Party as they think about generational replacement,” said Elizabeth Bennion, a professor of political science at Indiana University South Bend.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd.

Ik denk dus ook dat Trump niet wist hem gebeurde toen Pelosi hem het bos in stuurde. Hij is gewend dat mensen proberen conflict met hem te vermijden. En Pelosi gaf hem de vinger. En Trump zakte ineen en deed niks meer. Dat is handig om te weten.

Volgens Sarah Sanders kan Trump akkoord gaan met een 3 week CR in ruil voor een "down payment" voor de wall. Wat een down payment in vredesnaam mag betekenen in deze is mij niet helemaal helder. De 5,7 miljard was sowieso al nooit genoeg geweest voor een hele muur.

The US will begin sending some legal asylum seekers back to Mexico on Fridaytwitter:DLind twitterde op vrijdag 25-01-2019 om 01:30:55 You probably won't hear anything about it from Trump, but his administration is literally on the eve of its biggest asylum crackdown yet. https://t.co/z5hqLtxfuu reageer retweet
You probably won't hear anything about it from Trump, but his administration is literally on the eve of its biggest asylum crackdown yet. The new policy, forcing Central Americans to wait in Mexico while their cases are pending in the US, is starting at the biggest crossing along the US-Mexico border.
quote:The Trump administration is about to implement its biggest change to asylum policy yet.
Starting on Friday, Central Americans who attempt to enter the US without papers at the port of entry at San Ysidro — the most popular official border crossing for migrants seeking asylum in the United States — are going to be turned back to Mexico while their cases are pending.
The shift was initially reported by Reuters, citing a Mexican official. A DHS official confirmed the plan to Vox.
The policy change means that people who are trying to exercise their legal right to seek asylum will be barred from the US for as much as a year while they wait for their claim to come before a judge. It is the most sweeping development in Trump’s ongoing crackdown on asylum seekers, who are largely from Central America, and disproportionately children and families.
The Trump administration announced its plans to implement the new policy, which it calls the “Migration Protection Protocols” but was known last fall as the “Remain in Mexico” agreement, in a House hearing in December. But its implementation was kept under wraps as the US continued to negotiate with the Mexican government, and as the government shutdown took attention in Washington.
While a DHS official confirmed some details of the plan to Vox, it’s still not clear how Mexico will deal with migrants while they wait for their court dates in the US.
The policy will almost certainly be subject to a federal lawsuit, as other Trump efforts to crack down on immigration without Congress have been. But it will go into effect (at least in San Ysidro) before any lawsuit is filed, and advocates tell Vox they may wait to see how it is being implemented before they sue to stop it.
And because of an ambiguous clause in the Immigration and Nationality Act, it’s entirely possible that the policy will be upheld in court.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd.

Officials rejected Jared Kushner for top secret security clearance, but were overruled
Jared Kushner was rejected for a top secret clearance by 2 career security specialists, but their supervisor overruled them and approved him, say sources.
Jared Kushner was rejected for a top secret clearance by 2 career security specialists, but their supervisor overruled them and approved him, say sources.
quote:Jared Kushner's application for a top secret clearance was rejected by two career White House security specialists after an FBI background check raised concerns about potential foreign influence on him — but their supervisor overruled the recommendation and approved the clearance, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
The official, Carl Kline, is a former Pentagon employee who was installed as director of the personnel security office in the Executive Office of the President in May 2017. Kushner's was one of at least 30 cases in which Kline overruled career security experts and approved a top secret clearance for incoming Trump officials despite unfavorable information, the two sources said. They said the number of rejections that were overruled was unprecedented — it had happened only once in the three years preceding Kline's arrival.
The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information, said the Trump White House attracted many people with untraditional backgrounds who had complicated financial and personal histories, some of which raised red flags.
Kushner's FBI background check identified questions about his family's business, his foreign contacts, his foreign travel and meetings he had during the campaign, the sources said, declining to be more specific.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd.

Het goede: Trump en vele anderen zullen waarschijnlijk eens achter de tralies komen of als ze het bonter maken anders berecht worden.
Het slechte: Men heeft steeds minder, tot absoluut niets te verliezen.
De keuze tussen machtsbehoud en machtsuitbreiding en het einde en gekrenkte ego's is voor demagogen de keuze tussen leven en zelfmoord.
Hoevaak ik elders wel niet hoorde "nu zal het toch wel echt gedaan zijn" bij iedere actie; en ondertussen durfde niemand iets te doen en nam de foute kant z'n milimeters en centimeters van dag tot dag.
Dezelfde hoop zonder middel lijkt in de VS tot eenzelfde uitkomst te lijden. Trump en z'n regime zullen niet adminstratief worden verslagen.
