Trump calls for probe of Obama book deal

Trump calls for probe of Obama book deal
President Trump on Friday lashed out at Democrats over their ongoing investigations into his administration, suggesting there should instead be probes into former President Obama's book deal and other activities under his predecessor.

What in the world is Trump going to probe about Obama's book deal? The font size?

Imagine Obama, while running for President, was secretly working to build a hotel in Iran that would make him millions. And imagine Obama repeatedly lied to the American people & denied he had any business deals with Iran.

Imagine how pissed off Republicans would be. - Joe Walsh, Former Republican Congressman

Louisiana Schools Data Held Ransom
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) declared a state-wide emergency this week following cyberattacks on several school districts.
The declaration comes after three local school districts were hit by what local media have described as ransomware attacks, where hackers take over and encrypt vital cyber systems and demand a ransom to release the data.

The Russians Had The Ability To Change Voter Data in 2016. Do You Think They Did?
A Senate Intelligence Committee report on Thursday indicated that Russian hackers “were in a position to delete or change voter data” in Illinois in 2016, but found no evidence that such a thing happened.
The report also found that Russia targeted election systems in all 50 states.

If you're wondering how batsh*t-crazy Trump's 2020 campaign is going to get, please keep in mind that he is running for re-election with full knowledge that losing means he'll likely be prosecuted for crimes he committed as the sitting president of the United States. - Jon Zal

Trump Gets Pranked
As Donald Trump addressed a rightwing crowd in Washington on Tuesday, the audience roared in support – but it was a doctored onscreen display that ultimately took center stage...First, the eagle has not one but two heads – making it look a lot like Russia’s coat of arms. And instead of holding arrows, as the bird does in the US seal, it’s holding golf clubs.

Mueller: I wrote a detailed, 400-page report explaining an attack on our country. I spent years on it. See also: indictments + people in prison.

Russian Ties To Maryland's Voter Info
Maryland’s Democratic senators want a Senate committee to require disclosures of foreign investments in U.S. election systems, an alarm bell set off by a Russian oligarch’s connection to their state’s voter registration system.

On the same day Mueller warned Russia is interfering in the 2020 election “as we sit here” & that accepting foreign assistance has become the “new normal”, Senate GOP blocked two election security bills, including one requiring campaigns inform FBI of offers of foreign help. - Jim Sciutto, CNN

This is simple. McConnell does not think Trump can win without Russia’s help.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blocked two election security measures on Thursday, arguing Democrats are trying to give themselves a "political benefit."
The move comes a day after former special counsel Robert Mueller warned about election meddling in 2020, saying Russia was laying the groundwork to interfere in the 2020 election "as we sit here."

Barr Brings Back The Death Penalty.
Attorney General Bill Barr announced Thursday the federal government will be resuming capital punishment.
In the announcement, the U.S. Department of Justice said the decision was made related to "five death-row inmates convicted of murdering, and in some cases torturing and raping, the most vulnerable in our society -- children and the elderly."

Robert Mueller’s opening statement: Russian interference among ‘most serious’ challenges to American democracy

Read Robert Mueller’s opening statement: Russian interference among ‘most serious’ challenges to American democracy
Mueller was testifying for hours on Capitol Hill about his investigation into Russian interference, possible coordination by members of Trump’s campaign and possible obstruction of justice by Trump himself.

The focus on the Mueller hearing this week speaks volumes. Perhaps the state of our country is best revealed by the fact that rather being called to march we have been called to watch TV. - Sherrilyn Ifill

Eventually, more than 10 bystanders linked arms around the van, creating a pathway for the pair to enter their house.
ICE public information officer in Nashville Bryan Cox said the officers then drove away to deescalate the situation.
