Niet bestaande jacht inderdaad. Al zijn er onder Trump in 2018 alleen al meer pedos en mensensmokkelaars opgepakt dan de afgelopen 6-7 jaar van Obama bij elkaar opgeteld.

Permissible Uses
The contributions can be used in the following ways:

• Donations to charities, as long as the candidate doesn’t receive compensation from the organizations and the donation is not used by the charity to benefit the candidate.
• A donation of a maximum of $2000 to another presidential candidate.
• Unlimited transfers to a local, state or national political party committee.
• Donations to state and local candidates or transfer to a future election campaign committee of the same candidate (Bernie Sanders transferred $1.5 million collected from his Senate campaign committee to his presidential committee).

De aanklagers van de SDNY worden overspoeld met nieuwe meldingen over Epstein. De ontlasting raakt de vertilator nu goed.

Hopelijk stapt Katie Johnson ook naar dat bureau. Landverraad, verkiezingsfraude, corruptie en het ontvoeren van migrantenkinderen is veel mensen in rode staten wel een mulligan waard, maar kleine blanke blonde meisjes verkrachten is heel wat anders. Vergis je daar niet in.

Attorney General William Barr said Monday that he sees a legal path to adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, despite a Supreme Court ruling that blocked its inclusion, at least temporarily.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said the Trump administration will take action in the coming days that he believes will allow the government to ask the controversial question.

Barr sees a way for census to legally ask about citizenship (AP)

EDGEFIELD, S.C. (AP) — Attorney General William Barr said Monday that he sees a legal path to adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, despite a Supreme Court ruling that blocked its inclusion, at least temporarily.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said the Trump administration will take action in the coming days that he believes will allow the government to ask the controversial question. Barr would not detail the administration’s plans, though a senior official said President Donald Trump is expected to issue a presidential memorandum to the Commerce Department instructing it to include the question.

The Supreme Court’s June ruling was a blow to Trump , who has been pressing for the government to ask about citizenship on next year’s census. The U.S. Census Bureau’s experts have said a question asking about citizenship would discourage immigrants from participating in the survey and result in a less accurate census. That in turn would redistribute money and political power away from Democratic-led cities where immigrants tend to cluster to whiter, rural areas where Republicans do well.

Barr said he has been in regular contact with Trump over the issue.

“I agree with him that the Supreme Court decision was wrong,” said Barr. He said he believes there is “an opportunity potentially to cure the lack of clarity that was the problem and we might as well take a shot at doing that.”

The Trump administration has argued that the question was being added to aid in enforcing the Voting Rights Act, which protects minority voters’ access to the ballot box. But Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s four more liberal members in last month’s Supreme Court decision, saying the administration’s justification for the question “seems to have been contrived.”

It’s unclear what new rationale for asking the question the administration might include in a presidential memorandum.

As the administration grapples for a way around the Supreme Court’s ruling, the Justice Department has shaken up its legal team handling the matter.

“Since these cases began, the lawyers representing the United States in these cases have given countless hours to defending the Commerce Department and have consistently demonstrated the highest professionalism, integrity and skill inside and outside the courtroom,” department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement.

A department official told the AP the new team would consist of both career and politically appointed attorneys. James Burnham, a top lawyer in the department’s civil division, would no longer be leading the litigation team, said the official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity to discuss the matter ahead of the court filing.

An administration official said the new legal team may find it easier to argue the administration’s new position. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to speak on the record.

Barr spoke to the AP after touring a federal prison in Edgefield, South Carolina, where he met with inmates and staff members to discuss the criminal justice reform law that Congress approved and Trump signed into law last year.

Epstein is over. Die man heeft twee privé-vliegtuigen, huizen overal in de wereld en genoeg geld om uit handen van justitie te blijven als hij vlucht. Dus ik denk dat er geen borgtocht komt.
Dan zullen veel slachtoffers naar voren komen en dan zullen veel mensen erg nerveus worden. Dersh zeker weten. Trump misschien. Clinton misschien. Acosta kan zijn carriere ook wel vergeten mocht er na zijn deal nog iets zijn gebeurd.

Barr en McConnell komen in de shit mocht Trump worden genoemd. Want hoe bescherm je hem dan nog? Het onderzoek naar Epstein torpederen? Tientallen misbruikte kinderen zwartmaken? That shit won't wash. Dat komt terug bij de verkiezingen. En hard.

Dit kan echt de shitstorm der shitstormen worden.

Ugh, hier gaat echt geen einde aan komen he? Zelfs als ze dit weer verliezen zal het al effect kunnen sorteren in het afschrikken van bepaalde groepen om de census in te vullen.

Blijf het een vreemd verhaal vinden. Blijkbaar had Obama die vraag in 2010 van de census geschrapt, maar heeft daarvoor er altijd bij gezeten.
