    Speaking of throwing someone under the bus...I think that's what Greenberg just did with Matt Gaetz

    Matt Gaetz associate Joel Greenberg said in a letter that Gaetz paid for sex with a minor

    On more than one occasion, this individual was involved in sexual activities with several of the other girls, the congressman from Florida's 1st Congressional District and myself," Greenberg said in the letter, referring to an individual who was 17 years old at the time of the alleged encounter with Gaetz, according to The Daily Beast. "From time to time, gas money or gifts, rent or partial tuition payments were made to several of these girls, including the individual who was not yet 18. I did see the acts occur firsthand and Venmo transactions, Cash App, or other payments were made to these girls on behalf of the Congressman."

    An unusual coalition as Supreme Court rules for immigrant

    excerpt:

    "WASHINGTON (AP) — An unusual coalition of Supreme Court justices joined Thursday to rule in favor of an immigrant fighting deportation in a case that the court said turned on the meaning of the shortest word, “a.”

    By a 6-3 vote, the court sided with Agusto Niz-Chavez, a Guatemalan immigrant who has been in the United States since 2005. Eight years later, he received a notice to appear at a deportation hearing but this notice did not include a date or time. Two months after that, a second notice instructed him when and where to show up.

    By sending notice of a deportation hearing, the government can stop the clock on immigrants hoping to show they have been in the United States for at least 10 straight years. The 10-year mark makes it easier under federal law to ask to be allowed to remain in the country.

    The court was deciding whether immigration officials had to include all the relevant information in a single notice.

    Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in his majority opinion that they do, criticizing the government's “notice by installment.""

    An unusual coalition as Supreme Court rules for immigrant

    excerpt:

    "Gorsuch acknowledged that a lot seemed to be hanging on one word, but he said the court's role is to make sure the executive branch does not exceed the power Congress gave it.

    “Interpreting the phrase ‘a notice to appear’ to require a single notice — rather than 2 or 20 documents — does just that,” he wrote.

    In dissent, Justice Brett Kavanaugh — an appointee of President Donald Trump along with Gorsuch and Barrett — called Gorsuch's conclusion “rather perplexing as a matter of statutory interpretation and common sense.""

    On the topic of Modi whose mindset is much the same as Trump.


    India’s New Covid Mystery
    Many people in India thought the country had escaped the worst of Covid-19. What happened?
    By David Leonhardt
    April 26, 2021

    India’s New Covid Mystery

    excerpt:

    "Scientific research suggesting that about half of adults in major cities had already been infected was consistent with this notion. “It led to the assumption that India had been cheaply, naturally vaccinated,” Dr. Prabhat Jha, an epidemiologist at the University of Toronto, told me.

    Government officials acted particularly confident. As Ramanan Laxminarayan, a Princeton University epidemiologist based in New Delhi, told Nature, “There was a public narrative that India had conquered Covid-19.” Some scientists who thought that a new Covid wave remained possible were afraid to contradict the message coming from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. Modi has a record of stifling dissent, and Freedom House, the democracy watchdog group, recently said India had become only a “partly free” country that was moving “toward authoritarianism.”

    Confident they had beaten Covid, government officials relaxed restrictions on virtually all activities, including weddings, political rallies and religious gatherings. The northern town of Haridwar held one of the world’s biggest gatherings this month, with millions of people celebrating the Hindu festival Kumbh Mela.

    By mid-March, though, the virus was beginning to reassert itself. A major factor appears to be that many people who previously had mild or asymptomatic cases of Covid remained vulnerable to it. (A recent academic study, done in China, suggests that mild cases confer only limited immunity.) The emergence of contagious new variants is playing a role, too. This combination — less immunity than many people thought, new variants and a resumption of activities — seems to have led to multiple superspreader events, Dr. Jennifer Lighter of New York University told me."

    Conway: Trump defending Cohen because of unfair treatment

    Conway: Trump defending Cohen because of unfair treatment

    excerpt:

    "White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Sunday that President Donald Trump believes his personal lawyer Michael Cohen is being treated "unfairly" by federal authorities, making the remarks in an attempt to defend Trump's latest tweets on the matter.

    "He's defending someone who he has worked with and known for a dozen plus years, Dana, who he thinks has been treated unfairly," Conway told CNN's Dana Bash on CNN's "State of the Union."

    On Saturday, Trump aggressively defended Cohen after the The New York Times reported on the President's sometimes poor treatment of the attorney, whose office and hotel room were raided earlier in April.

    In a series of tweets peppered with insults against the Times' White House correspondent, Maggie Haberman, and her sourcing, Trump wrote that she and the newspaper "are going out of their way to destroy Michael Cohen and his relationship with me in the hope that he will 'flip.' They use.......non-existent 'sources' and a drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael, a fine person with a wonderful family.""

    I dunno. I think Trumph had Rudy by the balls somehow. Why else would Rudy ruin his legacy, participate in crazy lawsuits that made him the absolute laughing stock of the nation when he could simply retire on his rich old laurels...? It's probably Epstein videos.

    Ex-partners reporting Trump's rioters to FBI.


    Capitol rioters reported to FBI by exes, dating app users: 'We are not a match'
    Robert Chapman was arrested after boasting about the Jan. 6 riot on Bumble.

    Capitol rioters reported to FBI by exes, dating app users: 'We are not a match'

    excerpts:

    "Air Force veteran Larry Rendall Brock, 53, of Grapevine, Texas, was reported to the FBI by his ex-wife after he was photographed in the Senate chamber wearing a "military-style helmet ... a military vest and a patch from his military service" and carrying plastic zip-tie handcuffs, according to court documents.

    Authorities say that on Jan. 8, Brock's ex-wife, who had been married to him for 18 years, told the FBI she recognized him in his military gear.

    "I just know that when I saw this was happening I was afraid he would be there. I think you already know he was there. It is such a good picture of him, and I recognize his patch," she said, according to the FBI affidavit ."


    "Riley June Williams, the woman accused of stealing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop with alleged plans to sell it to Russia, was charged based on information provided by her former boyfriend, according to authorities.

    She surrendered to authorities on Jan. 18 and was charged with disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds with intent to disturb a session of Congress.

    Her ex told an FBI agent she “intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia, who then planned to sell the device to SVR, Russia’s foreign intelligence service,” according to the criminal complaint."

    The Florida firm Cyber Ninjas had been stating that showing how it was protecting the privacy of the voters would have given away its trade secrets.

    A judge didn't agree.

    Those promoting the recount have boasted about its supposed transparency..



    Judge Slaps Down Election Recount Firm Hired By Arizona GOP Senate

    excerpt:

    "But Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Martin said he was concerned “that the rights of the voters in Maricopa County” be protected and ordered Cyber Ninjas to turn over documents explaining the methods being used to review the 2.1 million 2020 ballots cast in the county, which includes Phoenix. The recount began last week.

    The recount result appears headed for a foregone conclusion. Months before the process started, Cyber Ninjas owner Doug Logan retweeted messages claiming that an audit would find hundreds of thousands of new votes for Donald Trump.

    The Washington Post reported Thursday that Trump asks “multiple times a day” about Cyber Ninjas recount updates. He’s reportedly transfixed by the operation’s examination of the ballots with ultraviolet light, which some experts believe could damage them, according to the Post."

    Logan, who is heading the recount in AZ, was on a re-tweet campaign promoting truther narratives about the 2020 election, including one made by convicted and Trump-pardoned Michael Flynn who thinks China, Serbia, Italy, Germany, and Iran interfered with the election.



    Arizona Senate hires a 'Stop the Steal' advocate to lead 2020 election audit

    excerpt:

    "Also in December, Logan retweeted Ron Watkins — a conspiracy theorist and former administrator of 8chan who has promoted QAnon and is believed by some to have run the Q account — that claimed an audit of the election might show that “Trump got 200k more votes than previously reported in Arizona.” Watkins had retweeted a tweet from Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward that made a similar claim and questioned the role of Dominion Voting Systems, the vendor who provides Maricopa County’s ballot tabulation machines and a frequent focus of accusations and conspiracy theories by Trump supporters.

    And two weeks after the election, Logan tweeted that “Dominion servers in German WERE grabbed by ‘the good guys’ in Germany,” promoting a false conspiracy theory that some Trump supporters spread after the election.

    Logan retweeted a comment from attorney Sidney Powell, a Trump supporter who brought failed lawsuits challenging the election results in Arizona and other swing states where Biden defeated Trump.

    And he retweeted a tweet from Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security advisor who advocated the use of martial law to overturn the election results, asking “How many overseas connections are we talking about involved in our 3 NOV election? Are there any foreign countries NOT interfering in our elections? China, Serbia, Italy, Germany, Iran. WTH!”"

    The investigation of Giuliani may be related to his shadow government scheme to oust Yovanovitch.


    Firing of U.S. Ambassador Is at Center of Giuliani Investigation
    Ben Protess, William K. Rashbaum and Kenneth P. Vogel

    Firing of U.S. Ambassador Is at Center of Giuliani Investigation

    excerpt:

    "One of the search warrants for Giuliani’s phones and computers explicitly stated that the possible crimes under investigation included violations of the law, the Foreign Agents Registration Act, according to the people with knowledge of the matter.

    Giuliani has long denied that he did work at the behest of the Ukrainians, or that he accepted any money from them, and he has said that he did not expressly urge Trump to fire the ambassador.

    Giuliani’s work to oust Yovanovitch was part of a larger effort to attack Joe Biden and tie him to corruption in Ukraine, much of which played out in public."

    Knowing Trump, he believes that a horse cart somewhere in Serbia harbors a computer server that contains Hillary's deleted emails that are supposedly evidence of her nefarious behavior.

    Trump has suggested that a wealthy Ukrainian has a server containing Hillary's deleted emails. He called upon the leader of Ukraine to investigate the matter.


    Trump promotes conspiracy theory: Clinton's deleted emails are in Ukraine

    excerpt:

    "As for Trump’s 2017 claim to The Associated Press — that CrowdStrike is owned by wealthy Ukrainians — there’s no evidence of that either. The cybersecurity firm, based in California, is a publicly-traded company. One of its founders is a Russian-born American citizen.

    The firm said in a statement Wednesday that "with regards to our investigation of the DNC hack in 2016, we provided all forensic evidence and analysis to the FBI. As we’ve stated before, we stand by our findings and conclusions that have been fully supported by the U.S. Intelligence community."

    Xochitl Hinojosa, a spokesman for the DNC, called Trump's remarks "complete nonsense."

    "Trump still hasn't accepted that Russia interfered in our election, and instead, is using a call with a foreign leader to push conspiracy theories," she told NBC News. "This is surreal.""
