[AMV] Amerikaanse politiek #604 Stone Cold Crazy

quote:

De New York Military Academy heeft de schoolresultaten van oud-leerling Donald Trump in 2011 verborgen nadat oud-studenten en machtige vrienden van de huidige Amerikaanse president hadden aangedrongen de documenten aan hen over te maken. Dat schrijft The Washington Post. De directeur en de hoofdopzichter van de militaire academie waar Trump eind jaren 50 en begin jaren 60 vijf jaar studeerde, vertellen aan de Amerikaanse krant dat ze in 2011 onder druk werden gezet door voormalige studenten en zakenrelaties van Trump. Dat gebeurde amper enkele dagen nadat Trump president Obama had uitgedaagd zijn schoolresultaten “bekend te maken” en te ontkennen dat hij een “verschrikkelijk slechte student” was geweest.

quote:

The Washington Post brengt het verhaal naar buiten na de getuigenis van Trumps ex-advocaat Michael Cohen vorige week. Die zei in zijn lange verklaring voor het Huis van Afgevaardigden dat hij van Trump de opdracht kreeg zijn vroegere scholen te bedreigen nooit zijn studieresultaten te openbaren.

quote:

A second federal judge has issued a court order to block the Trump administration's plans to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census.

U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg of California found that the administration's decision to add the question violated administrative law.

The judge also ruled that it was unconstitutional because it prevents the government from carrying out its mandate to count every person living in the U.S. every 10 years.

"In short, the inclusion of the citizenship question on the 2020 Census threatens the very foundation of our democratic system — and does so based on a self-defeating rationale," Seeborg wrote in a 126-page opinion released Wednesday.

Plans to add the question have already been halted by an earlier ruling in New York by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hold a hearing about the New York ruling on April 23. This latest ruling will likely be appealed to the high court.

quote:

Officials and staffers in the U.S. embassy in Riyadh said they were not read in on the details of Jared Kushner’s trip to Saudi Arabia or the meetings he held with members of the country’s royal court last week, according to three sources with knowledge of the trip. And that’s causing concern not only in the embassy but also among members of Congress.

On his trip to the Middle East, Kushner stopped in Riyadh. While there, he met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and King Salman to discuss U.S.-Saudi cooperation, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and economic investment in the region, according to the White House.

But no one from the embassy in Riyadh was in the meetings, according to those same sources. The State Department did have a senior official in attendance, but he was not part of the State Department team in Saudi. He is a senior member of the department focused on Iran, according to a source with direct knowledge of the official’s presence in Riyadh.

“The Royal Court was handling the entire schedule,” one congressional source told The Daily Beast, adding that officials in the U.S. embassy in Riyadh had insight into where Kushner was when in Saudi Arabia. “But that is normal for his past trips.”

Kushner, who has developed a personal relationship with the crown prince, embarked on several trips to Saudi Arabia over the last several years. On one occasion, he traveled overseas without announcing his trip publicly. He often travels to the region with Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt.

Tara_Mckelvey twitterde op donderdag 07-03-2019 om 15:31:53 Konstantin Kilimnik won’t be in the courtroom where Paul Manafort will be sentenced, but his presence will be felt. As @brett_forrest explains, Manafort lied about his ties to Kilimnik, a transgression that might be discussed before the sentencing today. https://t.co/rwWHl7zTOg reageer retweet

quote:

Special counsel Robert Mueller has accused Konstantin Kilimnik of having “ties to Russian intelligence,” while a federal judge has described this allegation as an “undisputed core” of Mr. Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Mr. Mueller’s prosecutors have been investigating whether Mr. Kilimnik, a Russian citizen and onetime colleague of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, was a conduit for information between the Trump presidential campaign and the Kremlin, court documents have shown.

On Thursday, Mr. Kilimnik’s name may come up in court when Mr. Manafort appears for sentencing in Virginia for tax and bank fraud convictions related to his business activities. That is because a plea deal Mr. Manafort reached to give him potential leniency in exchange for cooperating with Mr. Mueller was derailed in part by a judge’s finding that he lied to prosecutors about conversations he had with Mr. Kilimnik.

Still, even after Mr. Manafort is sentenced, it is likely to remain a mystery whether Mr. Kilimnik—who had a multifaceted career in Ukraine and Moscow—played any role in Russian meddling.

Mr. Kilimnik, who lives in Moscow out of reach of U.S. prosecutors, doesn’t face any charges of involvement in Russia’s interference in the U.S. elections. Rather, he was indicted last year by a grand jury empaneled by Mr. Mueller on charges of witness tampering related to an unregistered Manafort lobbying effort in Ukraine in 2012.

U.S. judge overrules defense leniency request in Manafort sentencing
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Reuters) - The U.S. judge in the Virginia trial of President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort on Thursday overruled a defense request that could have led to some leniency in his sentencing for bank and tax fraud.

U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis, who could effectively deliver a life sentence to Manafort, 69, said the veteran Republican political consultant should not receive credit for accepting responsibility for his crimes.

Further, before recessing Manafort’s sentencing hearing for 15 minutes, he sided with the government in saying the sentencing guidelines were properly calculated. Prosecutors have said they would call for 19-1/2 to 24 years in prison.

A Washington-based lobbyist, Sam Patten, admitted last year that he illegally funnelled $50,000 to Trump’s inauguration from a Ukrainian oligarch. Patten, a former colleague of the convicted ex-Trump aide Paul Manafort, pleaded guilty to lying to Congress and failing to register as a foreign agent.

After it claimed no such document existed, the Justice Department just unearthed a letter Matt Whitaker delivered to the Utah U.S. attorney directing a review of how the department handled the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium One issues.

Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions wrote the letter on Nov. 22, 2017 for Utah U.S. Attorney John Huber. Matt Whitaker, who was Sessions’ chief of staff at the time, emailed the letter to Huber that day, writing, “As we discussed.” He also sent Huber a copy of a letter the Justice Department’s Congressional affairs chief sent to the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee on Nov. 13 of that year.

The existence of a letter documenting Sessions’ directive that the DOJ revisit probes of Trump’s top political foe is a surprise because a department lawyer said in court last year that senior officials insisted it didn’t exist. The liberal nonprofit American Oversight obtained the letter through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request they filed on Nov. 22, 2017––the same day Whitaker emailed Sessions’ letter to Huber.

The economy’s remarkably steady job-creation machine sputtered in February and produced a mere 20,000 jobs. It was the smallest gain in well over a year and came on top of other signs that the economy was off to a sluggish start in 2019.

For months, the labor market could be counted on for an upbeat counterpoint to negative developments, including a fragile global economy weighed down by trade tensions. In the United States, growth for the first quarter is expected to dance around the 1 percent bar, as the shot of adrenaline delivered by last year’s tax cuts fades.

Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist at Northern Trust in Chicago, said Friday’s news from the Labor Department was worrisome. “This is a disappointing report,” he said. “I don’t think there’s any way to sugarcoat it.”

But the longer-term trend is what matters, and there were competing interpretations of whether the report was a troubling omen or a fluke.
