Cocktails & Popcorn: Paul Whelan Is Legally Kidnapped & Wants Trump To Intervene

I guess Trump could file for legal guardianship of Paul Whelan considering the fact that everyone else does, including all those foreign corporations who privately contract with the States, like Bethany Christian, to file for corporate parental rights.

If Trump stopped Russia from keeping Paul as being Legally Kidnapped by adopting him, that would be an easy exchange for freedom in automatic asset forfeiture.

I like transposable child welfare models, for castigation purposes, only.

But, I sincerely doubt that Trump is going to do anything except to continue to obstruct justice, by keeping that IG report burning a hole in his backpocket.

Maybe Putin will pull out his GRU report, burning a hole in his backpocket, so Trump will not have to release any of that sealed, grand jury information.

That would be quite nice if he did, I say!

Accused spy Paul Whelan makes plea from Russia, asks Trump to intervene

Accused spy Paul Whelan, right, as seen prior to a hearing in Moscow City Court on June 20, 2019, where he appealed the extension of his detention. Whelan, a citizen of the United States, Britain, Canada and Ireland, was detained on suspicion of spying by Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) in December in Moscow.From inside a glass enclosure in Moscow City Court, accused spy Paul Whelan appealed Thursday to President Donald Trump to intervene in his case, saying he is a victim of "political kidnapping."

“Mr. President, we cannot keep America great unless we aggressively protect American citizens wherever they are in the world,” Whelan, 49, of Novi told reporters.

He urged the president to Tweet about his intentions.

To date, Trump has remained quiet about Whelan, a former Marine who was the director of global security for the Auburn Hills-based auto supplier BorgWarner when he was arrested in his Moscow hotel in December and accused of spying.

Though Trump has yet to make a statement (or Tweet) about Whelan, others in his administration — most recently U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton — have spoken out against the continued detention of an American citizen without evidence from the Russian government to support its claims of espionage.

The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) alleges Whelan was caught in possession of a flash drive containing classified information at his hotel in Moscow. Whelan has told his lawyers that the flash drive came from a Russian friend, and that he was under the impression that it only contained photos of the friend's hometown.

The court ruled Thursday that Whelan's continued detention is legal, and that he is to remain locked up in Lefortovo prison while an investigation continues.

"There will be another extension of Paul's detention in August, before the 28th of August," Olga Karlova, one of Whelan's attorneys, told the Free Press in an email message. "Maybe the core hearing will be in autumn.

"We have been working on this case for six months already and we didn't see any real evidence. We tried to convince the court today to change the detention to house arrest. Paul said his position to the judge (that he is innocent), but everything was in vain."

Karlova said that the Russian Criminal Procedure Code doesn't require the court to consider the question of guilt or innocence at this stage of the process.

"We haven't seen all the evidence yet," she said. "It'll be possible only after the finish of the investigation." 

If Whelan is convicted of spying, he could be imprisoned for up to 20 years.

In his statement in court Thursday, Whelan — who was born in Canada to British parents and holds U.S., British, Canadian and Irish citizenship — also asked for assistance from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, British Prime Minister Theresa May and Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.

“I am asking the leaders and governments in Ottawa, Dublin, London and Washington for their help and public statements of support,” he said, standing inside a glass cage.

"Time works against Paul," his brother David Whelan said in an email message. "Russian police continue to isolate Paul, who has limited communication with Embassy staff and has received only a handful of letters during the nearly six months of his imprisonment. Without evidence, the FSB's only option is to coerce a confession from Paul."

Accused spy Paul Whelan, right, as seen prior to a hearing in Moscow City Court on June 20, 2019, where he appealed the extension of his detention. Whelan, a citizen of the United States, Britain, Canada and Ireland, was detained on suspicion of spying by Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) in December in Moscow.

David Whelan said his brother is "an American businessman, a tourist, falsely accused and facing another three months of wrongful imprisonment. Three more months with an angry FSB investigator who is violating Russian and international law, and who has substantial control over Paul's welfare. The sooner he is returned to his family in the U.S., the better."

U.S. State Department Human Trafficking Report 2019 Is Out - Pompeo v. Trump By Requesting More Money To Expand The International Industry Of Trafficking Tiny Humans - Happy Residuals Of The Peculiar Institution Month!


For the 19th year in a row, the U.S. State Department has put out its human trafficking report, where it only gets worse because the only thing offered to stop it is to set up more private contracts to fund more privatized Social Impact Bond operations to further its operations of forced migration.

https://www.state.gov/reports/2019-trafficking-in-persons-report/

Here are a few highlights from the report:

§ I n the United States, traffickers prey upon children in the foster care
system. Recent reports have consistently indicated that a large number
of victims of child sex trafficking were at one time in the foster care
system.

Federal law enforcement authorities
eventually found Miguel during an
operation; however, Miguel experienced
further traumatization, bullying, and
discrimination after he entered the state
foster care system. Today, Miguel is a
licensed behavioral psychologist in the
United States.

The Palermo protocols are three protocols that were adopted by the United Nations to supplement the 2000 Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (the Palermo Convention). They are:
These protocols and convention fall within the jurisdiction of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

Not one damn mention of the ills of domestic foster care in the report.

It did not talk about anything of parental rights, nothing about citizenship, termination of parental rights, state custody or guardianship, nothing about transfer of legal custody or guardianship.

Nothing about U.S. commercial adoption of children and not a peep about the children's trust.

Absolute silence on re-homing markets after adoption.

Nothing about manufactured poverty, forced migration and flat out public corruption.

Nothing about the identities or the Medicaid fraud.

Nothing about redistricting operations by foreign corporations for the purposes of gerrymandering to interfere in elections, because if you do not live there, you cannot vote there.

Nothing about the real estate investment schemes of the children's trusts were mentioned, but I am pretty sure this may have something to do with the fact that Kansas is the Corporate Shape Shifting Warehouse for every state of this great union to file up under the UCC ship manifest of the National Children's Trust, coming out of Detroit, of course.

Oh, lest I forget to mention that Pence just heralded the christian proclamation in the expansion of that Faith Based Funding, where Brownback, Kansas' favorite former governor, is now over all the U.S.AID Foreign Faith Based Funding.

This was another cover up propaganda report to prop up another national 2 by 4 underneath their raggedy ass logic of "give us more money to expand the trafficking tiny humans networks so we can make more money to ask for more money."

Pompeo is playing dirty because this is contrary to Trump's Executive Orders on ending modern day human slavery and trafficking.

This is a counter coup because Bethany Christian is ready and able to hit the ground running, with World Bank funding behind them, to start those Public Private Partnerships in infrastructure development.

Heck, even the reparations crap being re-engineered to fit into the bleachbitted history of HR 40 for the purposes of economic development, a running theme in all the congressional Bills being introduced because TARP money ran out.

Just saying.

This is about the residuals of the peculiar industry because slavery was never abolished, it just went high tech and changed the name to child welfare.

It is still legal to procure and purvey children, yet Pompeo made no mention of U.S. chattel laws being a priority.

Trump’s Human Trafficking Record Is Fake News




The U.S. government has just released a highly anticipated human rights report that whitewashes the effects of its own policies.


Since taking office in 2017, the Trump administration has claimed that its human rights agenda centers on human trafficking. “My Administration continues to work to drive out the darkness human traffickers cast upon our world,” President Donald Trump wrote in a 2017 executive order declaring January 2018 National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. In a Washington Post op-ed, Ivanka Trump echoed her father’s claims that human trafficking was one of the government’s top priorities. “President Abraham Lincoln and the abolitionist movement gave America a unique inheritance: a principled commitment to fight slavery in all its pernicious forms,” she wrote. “This administration is continuing the fight to end modern slavery and using every tool at its disposal to achieve that critical goal.”

But when it comes to identifying the reality of trafficking inside the United States and fighting it, these claims are contradicted by many of the administration’s policies and much of its rhetoric. In many key ways, the Trump administration’s approach to trafficking in the United States has made matters worse for the most vulnerable communities. Anti-trafficking experts now worry that the government, by failing to recognize its failings, could do lasting damage to what has traditionally been considered the country’s top human rights report, the latest edition of which was released Thursday.

The State Department’s annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report is a collaboration between a designated office in Washington and local U.S. embassies that evaluates government responses to trafficking around the world. It provides a detailed narrative and assigns a tier ranking to governments. (Tier 1 is the highest and Tier 3 the lowest, possibly incurring sanctions.) Over the years, the TIP Report has been seen to surpass the International Religious Freedom Report and the general human rights report in impact and authority. “It’s the power of comparison that the report provides that is so effective,” said Judith Kelley, a professor at Duke University and the author of Scorecard Diplomacy: Grading States to Influence Their Reputation and Behavior. “Local embassies really enforce policies leading up to its publication.”


The report has been published since 2001, after the Trafficking Victims Prevention Act (TVPA) was passed by Congress in 2000 and became the gold standard of anti-trafficking legislation. The United States started ranking itself during President Barack Obama’s administration to lend more credibility to the report. “Secretary [of State Hillary] Clinton said rightfully if we’re going to point the finger around the world, we need to point at ourselves, too,” said Alison Friedman, then the TIP office deputy director. The office consulted with nongovernmental organizations and legislators; assessed funding, victim services, and law enforcement response; and analyzed methods of data collection and prevention. In the end, the United States received a Tier 1 ranking, and it has never since been downgraded.

This year’s report has just been published. Like years prior, it contains some rankings that are sure to make headlines. Denmark, Germany, and Italy have been downgraded to Tier 2 countries, while Saudi Arabia, in spite of protests from experts and news reports (and in spite of a Tier 3 ranking), was left off the report’s list of countries that exploit child soldiers. The Philippines maintained its controversial Tier 1 ranking.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the United States received a Tier 1 ranking in this year’s report. But there is ample evidence that, like Italy and Germany, the country should have been downgraded. Over the past six months, I have closely reported on the impact that the Trump administration has had on trafficking in the United States. Some of the policy changes appear small—minor tweaks to grant funding or longer wait times for visa applications—and are often weighed against more positive steps, like an increase in general funding for victims services. But, taken together, these seemingly small changes amount to a systematic dismantling of services for America’s most vulnerable communities, particularly noncitizen victims.

The TIP Report, for example, traditionally highlights LGBTQ individuals as highly vulnerable to trafficking, but the Trump administration has removed various legal protections for the LGBTQ community, particularly for transgender individuals. Rachel Lloyd, the founder of New York’s Girls Educational & Mentoring Services, worries particularly about the administration’s scaling back of protections against discrimination in housing and health care, the lack of which can often produce trafficking victims. “Forty percent of the girls we serve are LGBTQ,” Lloyd said. “They are feeling unsafe.”

Many victims of trafficking are forced to commit crimes related to their trafficking situation, like prostitution. Because of that, clearing records is crucial to a trafficking victim’s recovery. “It’s one of our most requested services,” said Yvette Butler, who until recently was the director of policy and strategic partnerships at the Washington-based Amara Legal Center. “We want people to become productive members of society.” While Congress has increased funding to victims services, Trump’s Justice Department has eliminated grants that used to fund vacaturs, expungements, and sealing of criminal records.

The administration touts prosecutions as victories against trafficking, but in fiscal year 2018 federal investigations in the Justice Department decreased significantly, from 783 to 657, as did the number of defendants charged with human trafficking. In spite of repeated calls from NGOs and advocates, highlighted in multiple TIP Reports, for the government to focus on the equally urgent problem of labor trafficking in the United States, of those federal prosecutions 213 were for sex trafficking while only 17 were for labor trafficking.

Where the administration fails most profoundly is in its treatment of noncitizen victims of trafficking. Across the world, migrants are the most vulnerable to being trafficked, and the TIP Report highlights a government’s response to migrants. This year, Denmark, for instance, was downgraded to Tier 2 in part for its lack of protection for migrants. “The government continued to focus on the undocumented status of some foreign victims rather than screening for indicators of trafficking,” it reads. It points out that Denmark was failing to provide sufficient “incentives for victims to cooperate in investigations, such as residence permits.” Italy and Qatar, both Tier 2 countries, were cited for lack of protections for undocumented and migrant workers.

Who's On First: Which Country Is On The Birth Certificate? How To Figure Out The Illegal Immigrant Citizenship Of The Baby

Riddle me this:

If a teen from Country A is placed in a federal program of Country B, which transfers custodianship and guardianship to a private contract of a corporation of Country C, under the laws of State X, transferred across state lines to give birth in State Y under a private policy, what is the citizenship of the baby and who possesses the certificate of birth when born on religious land?

And to think, I have not even begun to castigate their use of their favorite pseudo-scientific predictive modeling crap variable of race.


Can you tell me the citizenship of the kids?

If you hated me before, just wait, you will find the ire in your spirit to curse my names from the tops of the mountains as the heavens fall.

U.S. court rules against Trump administration in immigrant teen abortion case

(Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court ruled on Friday that the U.S. government cannot deny access to abortions for unaccompanied immigrant minors in federal custody, delivering a blow to a Trump administration policy.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld a lower court decision that found the government cannot unduly burden the ability of a woman to obtain an abortion under established Supreme Court precedent.

The case involves the intersection of two divisive social issues on which Republican President Donald Trump has taken a hard line: abortion and immigration.

It began with a 17-year-old girl, whose name and nationality were not disclosed and was called “Jane Doe” in legal papers. She came to the United States alone in 2017 and was placed in the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which falls under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and houses immigrant children.

The girl, who was in the United States illegally, obtained an abortion after suing the administration in federal court. But the Supreme Court last year allowed the litigation to continue in lower courts to determine the fate of other detained immigrants in similar situations.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement in March 2017 announced that shelters were “prohibited from taking any action that facilitates an abortion without direction and approval from the Director.” Scott Lloyd, who had become the agency’s director that month, then denied every abortion request presented to him during his tenure even when the pregnancy resulted from rape, according to the appeals court ruling. Lloyd left his post at the end of 2018.

“The policy functions as an across-the-board ban on access to abortion,” the appeals court ruling said.

The U.S. Justice Department declined to comment.

In the 2018 fiscal year, there were almost 50,000 unaccompanied minors referred to the refugee office’s network of some 100 shelters around the United States.

Minors from countries other than Mexico or Canada who cross the border alone stay in federal care until they can be released to sponsors in the United States or until they turn 18 and are transferred to immigration detention. In fiscal year 2017, the only year for which data is available, 18 pregnant unaccompanied minors in the refugee office’s custody requested abortions, according to the court ruling.

The Trump administration could appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court but Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a conservative Trump appointee who participated in the case when he served on the D.C. Circuit, would likely be recused. That would leave the court split 4-4 along ideological grounds.

No, Michigan Does Not Need More Foster Mothers & Fathers - Happy Foster Care Propaganda Month

Why No One Cares About The True Meaning Of Mother's Day
In celebration of Mother's Day, I would like to present a classic, classroom teachable example of foster care propaganda.

Here, we have a lovely, young, clueless spokestoken for the foreign corporation Samaritas, one of the world's leaders in the industry of trafficking tiny humans.


Michigan CPS Runs Out Of Tiny Humans To Traffic, Switches To Profit From Warehousing Immigrant Tiny Humans Instead



Stop Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare 


Little does she realize that she the agency which has licensed her is preparing for a major influx of Faith Based Funding for its legal defense of war crimes with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Yes, Michigan is under the scrutiny of the legal community for its trafficking of tiny humans because it is nothing but the residuals of the peculiar institution where one can pay their mortgage off while doing the work of the foreign, regal monarchy of the Vatican by saving the savages.

Samaritas, also doing business in Detroit as Lutheran Family Services, along with Bethany Christian generates sustainability for its institutions by constancy acquiring more goods to be processed through its chattel system as it transforms into corporate guardianship to pilfer the children's trusts.


Michigan Samaritas Prepares For Profiting From Trafficking Of Tiny Humans From The Border



Stop Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare 

Michigan is also at the threshold of a federal decision on the legitimacy of its child welfare system once Nancy Edmunds stops playing games, but I believe she will need a bit of assistance because she was mean to my Sweetie, but I digress.

Michigan is ground zero for the horrors of child trafficking due to its Public Private Partnership  of Medicaid fraud in child welfare.



Instead of generating more propaganda campaigns to recruit more foster parents, how about stop stealin' the children, the land and the vote because this has been going on for centuries.

When Michigan stops intentionally making people poor, ends the criminalization of poverty, you shall find there is no longer a need for foster mothers and fathers, because there degrees of consanguinity and affinity already in place.

And, on that note, this is why this article is nothing but teaching model of covering up why there is a need of more foster mothers and fathers, which, in itself is propaganda to glamorize modern day human trafficking.

Have a great Mother's Day, even though Child Protective Services has snatched your child from your arms to invest in more foreign human asset management Social Impact Bonds.

What do you think they do with the billions generated from foster care?

I am going to say they pay for very seasoned legal representation.


Michigan needs more foster mothers and fathers






Farmington Hills — Sarah Sporny says she has always had a heart for children. But what she needed was some mac-n-cheese, twin bed sheets and a car seat.

Sporny recalled the phone call in 2016 from a foster care agency worker who said a 6-year-old boy needed a home: would Sarah and her husband Rob, who had obtained their foster care license after intensive training, be ready in hours for their first foster child?

"I asked a lot of questions. There is a lot about a kid. It's important you know what you are getting into," said Sarah, a social worker for 20 years.

The couple met the little brown-haired boy inside a Bob Evans where he was focused on his pancakes.

After a short conversation about making chocolate chip pancakes at his new foster home, the child walked out of the restaurant with the Spornys. And without prompting, while the adults talked, the boy hopped into the back of the family car and belted himself in.

At home, the boy wrapped himself up in a blanket that night and laid on Rob's lap as a movie played. This family of two was suddenly now three.

"It was the sweetest night," Sarah said.

The Spornys fostered the child for six months before he was reunited to his biological family. Sarah says she and her husband would do it all over again and are awaiting their next call to foster another child who needs a home.

"It's incredibly rewarding," Sarah said. "It feels incredibly loving. And I found that I really loved parenting, picking him up from school, reading books, nighttime snuggles."

As of April, 13,574 children are in foster care in Michigan. That includes 3,297 in Wayne County, 698 in Oakland County and 613 in Macomb County. Yet there are only 6,000 foster homes ready to take in a child.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the state’s foster care system, says the first step to becoming a foster parent is contacting a Foster Care Navigator, experienced foster parents who can answer questions, help individuals find an agency and provide guidance.

“Foster parents are critically important in helping us meet our mission of protecting the safety and well-being of children,” MDHHS Director Robert Gordon said.

Children land in foster care who have been victims of abuse and neglect and who need temporary homes to care for them, until they can be safely reunified with their parents or find adoptive homes.

Laura Mitchell, executive director of foster care for Samaritas, a nonprofit that recruits and supports foster care families, supports 900 kids and families in foster care every day. The agency also works with birth parents to restore rights, which is the goal of foster care.

"Foster care is never because of what a child did. It was what was done to them," Mitchell said.
The children have experienced abuse, neglect and trauma, she said.

Children For Sale
"All of our kids have some sort of trauma," Mitchell said. "Even just being removed from home. Home is where we are magnetically pulled, and we feel that connection to family. Kids who have experienced trauma don’t know how to process that."

Foster parents are trained on how to recognize and respond to trauma in children.





"Often times, kids are seen as bad or naughty kids due to their behavior, but that is their response to trauma," Mitchell said. "It's our role to make sure foster parents are educated on the effects of trauma to a child and also help the child work through that trauma."
Foster care parents see children not only need love and attention but need support to heal, Mitchell said.

"The amount of selfless love and commitment they give to a child who is hurting and has had very difficult life experience is amazing," she said.

Jessica Sweet, a foster and adoptive parent recruitment support and development manager at DHHS, said becoming a foster parent takes a lot of patience and skill. The state uses a specialized program called PRIDE to train parents.

"As much as we try to support and prepare people ahead of time, it's something you can't fully learn until you start doing it," Sweet said. "We ask families to assess what they are capable of, what areas do they need support."

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer proclaimed May to be Foster Care Month in Michigan to encourage people to consider becoming foster parents and to recognize those who are already doing so.

“Every child deserves a safe, loving and stable home,” Whitmer said. “This month and throughout the year, I hope Michiganders will consider opening up their homes to children in foster care.”
Cathe Hoover, an adoption, guardianship, recruitment and retention program manager at DHHS, said there are a lot of misconceptions about becoming a foster parent.


You do not need to be married or own your own home, Hoover said, and it often takes a person a few years between being curious about foster care and reaching out to a foster care agency to take those next steps.

"A lot of this is word of mouth," Hoover said. "If you know someone who does this you can see this. There is a lot of support and they aren't left on an island. It’s a really big decision people are making for their families."

Sarah Sporny, who now has an 18-month-old son, said she thinks about her foster son every day although it's been nearly three years since she has seen him.

She said she will think about him on Mother's Day as she celebrates being a mother with her family.
"I absolutely loved my foster son. Sometimes, I say loved, but I still love him," she said. "He hasn't been here for three years, but I love that child."

Sarah says being a foster parent was a good experience, but she knows it's unclear what the next foster care experience may be like.

"It might be better. It might be worse," she said. "So there is always some apprehension on what the next child will be like, but it's worth it, and I am willing to take that chance," she said.

Michigan Attorney General Dana & Her Volunteers Cover Up Christian Trafficking Tiny Humans Operations In Her Office


Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is using her staff, of whom I shall assume are Assistant Attorneys General, because there is no point of reference for the public, or rather the defense, to validate the chain of custody of the records.

Dana, are these #perkinscoiesucks?

I only say this because I know about an extremely large file up there in her office that has lots, and lots of documentation that goes beyond the purview of the sexual abuse of clergy in the Catholic Church, a foreign corporation.

That extremely large file up there in her office that has lots and lots of documentation on the contractual fraud with the agents of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops that hire privatized child welfare NGOs who allowed foster children to be drugged, raped, tortured and used and lab rats, if they did not die, seasoned with lots and lots of fraudulent Medicaid cost reimbursements that her office ignored.

Are these "volunteers" volunteering to selectively sequester the rapes of children in state, private contracted foster care residential facilities, group homes and foster care placements that billed Medicaid to silence the screams of these children with pharmaceutical testing and psychological experiments in child welfare to cover up what was going on in the State Attorney General's Office?

Are these "volunteers" cherrypicking the crimes against humanity which transpired in Wayne County, Lincoln Hall of Justice, the only County in the State where the Attorney General prosecutes child abuse and neglect cases?

Will Dana and her volunteers be going after Jennifer Granholm and the dirt she did when it comes to the rapes, murders, suicides, attempted suicides, torture and massive fraud that went on while she was Assistant Attorney General prosecuting child abuse and neglect cases in Wayne County?

How about calling some of the parents who sued the Michigan Attorney General for covering up the drugging of the screams of children being raped, nightly, in these so called Catholic Charities?

Will Dana and her volunteers be going after Bill Schuette and Cinnaire, in all the fraudulent real estate transactions from Medicaid fraud in child welfare through these christian, privatized, Child Placing Agencies or are they preparing to skirt by another scathingly distractionary Auditory General report?

Perhaps, Dana and her "volunteers" will be filtering the exfiltration of fraudulent Medicaid payments of cloaking the drugging, rapes, and tortures of foster children in these christian institutions like United Methodists, trafficking tiny humans into Michigan from other countries?

I bet Dana and her "volunteers" are doing what Maura Corrigan did in SCAO right before that U.S. HHS OIG Single Audit, considering the fact that the world awaits for Nancy Edmunds to have one of those Epiphanies and realizes that nothing has been done in the over 10 years of court monitoring of the State Child Welfare System, well, people have gotten lots of more money in privatized contracts, but that is not the issues in this situation....or is it?

If Michigan Department of Health and Human Services goes into federal receivership, it would behoove Dana and her "volunteers" to sift through the documents and pull out any self-incriminating evidence of public corruption, you know.

How about the Michigan Children's Trust which launders money overseas and into political campaigns of the DNC and RNC?

Did you get some of that Medicaid fraud in child welfare money in your campaign, Dana?

I bet you did, Dana.

We will never know because these are "volunteers" volunteering, where we have no idea who they are or what their training is.

This is a photo of an inherent conflict of interest and I, accordingly, enter it, formally, into the record  because my blog is evidence of war crimes against humanity, and in this particular instance, I am referencing forced migration through Child Protective Services.

These children who are never mentioned as victims of drugging, rape and torture in foster care and adoption are tossed to the streets, with no educational or medical records, because "volunteers" volunteered to destroy evidence.

Then again, the Michigan Attorney General contemporaneously advises and advocates, so this is nothing new.

I probably should never have commented on this situation because St. Vincent and Bethany Christian can now call all the evidence produced in prosecution to be contaminated, but hey, what do I know?

I know she should have had Starletta Banks run this op and ask her to tell you what it means for a parent to sacrifice everything to stop the trafficking of tiny humans, which originated from the Office of Attorney General.

Feel free to verify what I have just stated through PACER, Michigan Courts, or my blog.

Happy Foster Care Propaganda Month - Transporting Humans Across State Lines For Money Is Called Human Trafficking - Michigan Privatization Solution To Separating Families At The Border - Human Plantations

Stephanie Jezowski Hmm, transporting people across state lines for the purpose of making money is human trafficking.....


What better way to solve the border crisis of separating children from parents at the border than to build a brand new, human asset management system, or what I prefer to call human plantations.

I told you they were coming.

I told you they started in Detroit.

I told you they were Israeli think tank models.

This is going to be a DeVos operation, because they were the pioneers in acquiring land for the purposes of trafficking tiny humans, it is just this time, they found a profitable way of maximizing revenue from the parents, too.

How compassionate!  Corporate parental rights are opening their arms to non-U.S. citizens.

Private firm set to open immigrant prison in Michigan

NorthLake
North Lake Correctional Facility in
 Baldwin, Michigan
Lansing — A private prison company that owns a vacant facility in Baldwin announced Thursday it has won a 10-year federal contract to house non-citizens sentenced for immigration offenses or other federal crimes.

The Geo Group Inc. said it plans to “reactivate” its 1,800-bed North Lake Correctional Facility under a contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The Florida-based firm said it expects to generate roughly $37 million a year in incremental annualized revenues from the deal.

The contract and two others it manages in Texas were awarded “under a long-standing procurement, for the housing of non-U.S. citizen criminal aliens, commonly referred to as Criminal Alien Requirement,” the company said in a press release.

Most non-citizens held in similar federal facilities are serving sentences for non-violent drug offenses or for re-entering the country after deportation, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, which has raised concerns about the safety of private prisons in other states.

Geo Group's announcement comes less than three months after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer blocked the sale for another former state prison to a different company that wanted to open an immigration detention center in Ionia.

Whitmer rejected the planned sale because the company — Immigration Centers of America — could not meet her demands that the facility only be used to house single adults, and none separated from other family members after they arrived in the United States.

A Whitmer spokeswoman declined comment on announced plans for the private prison, which the state does not control.

The Michigan Department of Corrections “has no jurisdiction or supervision over such an arrangement between” between the federal bureau and Geo Group, said spokesman Chris Gautz.
Corrections Director Heidi Washington “opposes the idea of privatizing state prisons as she believes incarceration is a core function of government,” Gautz added.

Howard Lodholtz, chairman of the Lake County Board of Commissioners, said he was just learning about the project Thursday afternoon but thinks it is a “super” turn of events that could create hundreds of jobs in the region.

“We’re in bad shape,” Lodholtz said about the local economy, noting recent flooding that destroyed roads and two tornadoes that ripped through the county in August. “We’re not the richest county in the state, so anything will help us.”

An October 2018 environmental site assessment prepared for the Bureau of Prisons indicated the federal government was seeking new facilities to house up to 9,540 “low-security, adult male, non-US citizen, federal inmates.”

Consultants said the North Lake Correctional Facility would not require additional construction or repurposing of interior space to house a portion of those inmates. It is located between Big Rapids and Ludington in northwest Michigan.

The federal contract could create 320 permanent jobs in the village of Baldwin, population 1,497, and Lake County, population 11,426, according to the assessment.

The Michigan and Texas facilities “will play an important role in helping the agency meet its long-term need for high quality, cost-effective services that comply” with federal standards," GEO Chairman and CEO George Zoley said in a statement.

The ACLU has criticized conditions for non-citizen inmates inside “Criminal Alien Requirement” prisons in Texas, saying private facilities tend to have higher levels of violence than public prisons.
“Private prisons are in the business of making money, not ensuring the safety of those who are locked up,” said ACLU of Michigan policy counsel Kim Buddin, who voiced “serious concerns about the safety and wellbeing of the people who would be detained in this facility.”

Immigrants are also entitled to due process, Buddin said.“Opening this facility fuels mass incarceration, and the continual drumbeat to target and scapegoat immigrants nationwide."

In its release, Geo Group said its facilities are "highly rated by independent accreditation entities, including the American Correctional Association, and provide high-quality services in safe, secure, and humane residential environments."

The Baldwin prison "will have the same visitation policies as all similar Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities," said Pablo Paez, executive vice president of corporate relations for The Geo Group.

The federal prison bureau began contracting with private companies in 1997 to help alleviate overcrowding and respond to congressional mandates, according to the U.S. Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Justice.

“Many of the inmates incarcerated in these contract prisons are Mexican nationals with convictions for immigration offenses who have 90 months or less remaining to serve on their sentences,” the inspector general said in a 2016 report.

Operating by a different name at the time, Geo Group built the Baldwin prison in 1999. It initially operated as the Michigan Youth Correctional Facility and housed inmates for the state under a contract that ended in 2005.

Former Gov. Rick Snyder signed a 2015 law allowing Geo Group to operate the facility as a maximum security prison, paving the way for the company to contract with Vermont to house prisoners from that state. That contract reportedly expired in 2017 and the facility has sat empty.
Some Republican state lawmakers pushed the Michigan Department of Corrections to purchase the Baldwin prison “a few years ago,” but the state did not need the facility at the time, Gautz said.
“GEO’s ‘last and best offer’ for it was for $100M and we kindly said ‘no thank you’ on behalf of the taxpayers.”

Clueless In Michigan: More Trafficking Tiny Humans Lawsuits - Will St. Vincent Sarah & Bethany Christian Move To Enjoin To Nancy Edmunds' Court?

If St. Vincent and Bethany Christian can sue Michigan over new gay adoption rules, well, by golly, Michigan can sue St. Vincent and Bethany Christian, and all the other Foster Care & Adoption Agencies for Trafficking Tiny Humans.

It is only logical considering the fact that they are the ones who are trafficking tiny humans.

I wonder if the Michigan GiGi Interlopers, DHHS Robert Gordon and Garlin Gilchrist, will show up, or at least publicly admit that child trafficking is foster care and adoption.

Oh, wait.

I forgot.

Nancy Edmunds is supposed to decide if Michigan is all better when it comes to its child welfare system.

Perhaps, St. Vincent and Bethany Christian can enjoin in the Dwayne B. v. Granholm (now Gretchen Whitmore) action.

Probably not.

Trafficking tiny humans through foster care and adoption is how St. Vincent and Bethany Christian maximizes their revenues.

As for the LBQRSTUV adoption issue, it is just a legal property ownership argument under the law of chattels.

Welcome to Foster Care & Adoption in Michigan, oops, I mean, human trafficking.


Happy Child Abuse Propaganda Month!


Michigan DHHS Director Robert Gordon,
& Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist - Clueless in Michigan

An adoptive mother, a former foster child, and a Michigan faith-based adoption agency are challenging a recent state settlement that bans state contracts with foster and adoption agencies that refuse to work with gay couples.

St. Vincent Catholic Charities, former foster child Shamber Flore, and Melissa Buck, a mother of five special needs kids adopted through St. Vincent, filed a federal lawsuit Monday alleging the new rules violated the group’s First Amendment rights. The agency is represented by religious liberty group, Becket Law.

The lawsuit is filed against Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Robert Gordon, Children's Services Agency Director Herman McCall, Attorney General Dana Nessel, the federal Health and Human Services department and its secretary, Alex Azar.

The lawsuit asks the court to issue an injunction on the settlement's provisions that would require the state to stop contracting with agencies that, because of their religious beliefs, refuse to work with same-sex couples.

Nessel's office declined to comment until officials had a chance to review the lawsuit. 
In a Monday statement announcing the lawsuit, Buck, of Holt, said her family still relies on the support of St. Vincent “in every step of our journey together as a family" and could have problems should the family look to adopt siblings of their adopted children through St. Vincent in the future.

“We are hopeful that the courts will step in, do the right thing and allow faith-based agencies to continue to help vulnerable families like mine,” Buck said.

In March, Nessel reached a settlement with the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan and two gay couples who had sued the state when they were rejected by agencies with religious objections to same-sex couples. The agencies were St. Vincent Catholic Charities and Bethany Christian Services.

The settlement required the state Department of Health and Human Services to maintain non-discriminatory provisions in foster care and adoption agency contracts by ending state contracts with agencies if they discriminate against same-sex couples.

Because the settlement was between the state attorney general's department and the ACLU, St. Vincent as an intervenor in the lawsuit had no option but to file a separate action, said Nick Reaves, a lawyer for Becket.

Without the state contract, St. Vincent would be forced to close its doors and the settlement could have a similar effect on "any other organization that shares their religious beliefs," Reaves said. He added that he is not aware of any contracts being dropped so far in light of the March settlement.
“Faith-based agencies like St. Vincent consistently do the best work because of their faith, and we need more agencies like them helping children — not fewer,” Becket President Mark Rienzi said in a statement.

Catholic agencies make up a small portion of the 58 private agencies that contract with the state for adoption and foster care services, proving "there really isn't any access problem" for gay couples seeking an agency through which they can adopt, Reaves said.

For example, in Ingham County, 17 other adoption agencies besides St. Vincent are available to parents seeking to adopt, he said.

Agencies already can refer couples to different adoption agencies for various reasons, including geography, wait lists or a family's search for a specific type of child.

Further, a same-sex couple still can adopt a child within St. Vincent after receiving a home study and becoming a certified pre-adoptive home through a different agency, St. Vincent said in its lawsuit.
Nessel’s office maintained a 2015 law passed by the Republican-led Legislature only protected faith-based agencies that declined to provide services based on religion when it came to “private action.” The protection did not carry over into state-contracted services, she argued.

Such a conclusion is in "serious tension" with previous interpretations of the law and the language of the law itself, Reaves said.

Republican former Attorney General Bill Schuette had defended the state against the ACLU lawsuit when it was filed in 2017. But even before taking office Jan. 1, Nessel had signaled she would not continue to support Schuette's position on the lawsuit.

As of mid-February, St. Vincent and Bethany were responsible for nearly 10% of the more than 13,000 children under state supervision.

The Tale Of Why Betsy DeVos Wanted To Cut Special Olympics: Children's Trust Funds & Her Foreign Corporations

Gather round, dearies, for I shall tell the tale of why Betsy DeVos wanted to cut Special Olympics funding.

Once upon a time, Betsy came up with lots of privatized child welfare services with John Engler.

Foster care and adoption turned out to be quite the financially fruitful industry in Medicaid fraud, so they built hospitals to do more research with children because HHS was handing out lots and lots of grant money in children's research, particularly psychological and pharmaceutical, because Michigan is the only state where the State Attorney General cannot sue a pharmaceutical corporation.


Betsy said the Special Olympics cuts were needed, but she did not tell the truth as to why she wanted to slash the funding, so I will.

It is about Medicaid fraud in child welfare.

See, it goes like this.

Bethany Christian Services is moving, quite quickly I must add, to implement full scale claiming of corporate parental rights.

Instead of Special Olympics for kids, there can now be specialized services whose costs can be reimbursed through Targeted Case Management in the expansion of the Families First Act.

Yes, that is correct, when you sign up for these Public Private Partnerships to receive services for your child, that means you are poor, and, as such, shall immediately sign over all your rights, including parental rights, over to the corporate parent, where, the corporation has full control of the children's trust, like the identity, Social Security Number, EITC, to be leverage for more money, that they exfiltrate out the United States through child welfare NGOs to money launder into political campaigns.

I guess Trump did not like Betsy's plan, but hey, what do I know?

I know MiABLE is a foreign corporation  and its name is TSA Consulting Group, Inc., and it is taking all the federal funding for all these special needs children, and is going to help these kids save their money, and you can trust them because they are not even a Michigan corporation.

It looks Australian.


Yes, privatization is the real reason why Betsy wanted to cut Special Olympics funding for children.

Betsy likes to send Medicaid fraud in child welfare money to her overseas children's trusts.

Betsy is doing the work of the christian god, the residuals of the peculiar institution.

And that ends the tale of how Betsy does not realize that I just dry snitched, again.

President Donald Trump says Special Olympics will be funded after fallout with Betsy DeVos on the Hill

President Donald Trump on Thursday said the administration will fund Special Olympics following a whirlwind of criticism this week over the White House's budget proposal that had eliminated federal funding for the program.

"The Special Olympics will be funded, I just told my people," Trump told reporters outside the White House. "I want to fund the Special Olympics and I just authorized funding of the Special Olympics."

Prior to Trump's comments on Thursday afternoon, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos faced more backlash at a hearing in the morning on Capitol Hill over the Trump administration’s proposal to cut federal funding for the Special Olympics. Despite Trump's comments on Thursday afternoon, Congress is ultimately responsible for approving the budget that is proposed by the administration.
In a heated back-and-forth with Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., DeVos defended the administration’s “tough choices and decisions,” saying she did not personally approve the cuts, but forcefully pushed back against criticism.

“Let's not use disabled children in a twisted way for your political narrative,” DeVos said when answering questions from Sen. Durbin. “That is just disgusting and it's shameful.”

Durbin, in response, said the proposed cut was “shameful.”

“I am not twisting it, I asked you to answer yes or no, and you said you did not personally approve this,” Durbin said.

DeVos told the committee that she loved the Special Olympics and had contributed a portion of her salary to the organization.

Durbin went on to criticize decision-makers at the Office of Management and Budget, saying, “Whoever came up with that idea at OMB gets a Special Olympic gold medal for insensitivity.”

DeVos has faced significant backlash this week over part of the administration’s budget proposal that would eliminate $17.6 million for the Special Olympics. The full budget proposed a decrease of $7.1 billion for education funding overall.

The proposal to cut funding for the Special Olympics has been part of past Trump administration budget proposals. The chances that the budget will get passed as it is in this first iteration is highly unlikely.

On Wednesday, the chairman of the Senate appropriations subcommittee, Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., issued a statement saying that the subcommittee would “not cut funding for the program."

“I'm a longtime supporter of Special Olympics and proud that Missouri is home to the largest Special Olympics training facility in the world,” Sen. Blunt wrote. "I was just at the World Games and saw, as I have many times before, what a huge impact the organization has on athletes, their families, and their communities. Our Department of Education appropriations bill will not cut funding for the program."

"The Girls" v. "The Boys": Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel v. Archdiocese Of Detroit - Who Will Be The First To Talk About The Children's Trust Fund?

Image result for boys v girls
Michigan Attorney General v. Vatican
This, is so succulent a moment to me, I am in pure bliss.

What we have here is a delicious fantasy I have played out in so many fashions, but this one is spectacular.

The Michigan Attorney General has to investigate the Archdiocese of Detroit.

Yes, I have been transported back to a time when I decided to figure out why the Michigan Attorney General has allowed me to suffer for almost two decades when it comes to their nefarious operations in child welfare.

Yes, my dearies, I am the original source and I am about to push this as far as I can, because I have to prepare, you know.

I wonder if Dana has pulled my file, yet.

I have the largest file in the history of the State of Michigan Office of Attorney General, but hey, what do I know?

I know I have found fresh flesh for false claims of Medicaid fraud in child welfare.

I also know I was never afforded due process in a court of law.

Nessel warns Catholic Church: Let state investigate clergy sexual abuse


Michigan AG: "If an investigator comes to your door and asks to speak with you, please ask to see their badge and not their rosary"

Beverly Tran: "If Child Protective Services comes to your door and asks to speak with you, please ask to see their warrant and not their badge because they are no law enforcement"

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel accused Catholic Church leaders of not fully cooperating with law enforcement, telling them to stop "self-policing" and allow state investigators to probe sexual abuse by clergy.

They are only doing what the State of Michigan does in child welfare.  Dana is new.  She will catch on, or maybe not.

Speaking Thursday at her first news conference, Nessel said she will continue the investigations into Michigan's seven Catholic dioceses launched under her predecessor, former Attorney General Bill Schuette. Schuette conducted raids in October at dioceses in Michigan that involved 70 police officers and 14 assistant attorney generals, Nessel said.

But will she go into the foster care and adoption contracts? How about Faith Based Funding Slush Funds? Trafficking Tiny Humans?

Nessel told victims of abuse and others to speak with state investigators rather than Catholic officials, expressing concern that nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) are being used to discourage victims of abuse to speak with law enforcement authorities.

Where are all the attorneys looking to make a name for themselves? I find it quite odd these massive law firms in Detroit refuse to lift a single finger when it comes to trafficking tiny humans in Michigan.  Well, not really.  Some are too ignorant to wrap their brains around the subject matter, some just want a paycheck, some just do not care.  Just ask the State Bar of Michigan.

"Stop self-policing" and let the state do its investigations, she said. "Our office is conducting a thorough investigation and it's important we be able to talk with any and all victims harmed by these egregious acts without the intervention of the church."

A thorough investigation entails the child welfare contracts, including the schools, residential institutions, child placing agencies and any faith based foster care situation because this sexual abuse is all funded by Medicaid.

"If an investigator comes to your door and asks to speak with you, please ask to see their badge and not their rosary," Nessel said. "And here's why that matters. Because many churches and diocese appear to be self policing and encouraging parishioners to report abuse to them so they can conduct their own internal investigations. We've heard many stories from victims who have been encouraged to take settlements and sign NDAs or nondisclosure agreements. And victims may believe that they cannot or should not report abuse to us because the church is going to handle it and simply put, that's just not true. Firstly, if you signed an NDA, you still have a right and I would say a responsibility to speak to law enforcement authorities. An NDA will not protect the church."

At least "The Boys" are being proactive.  "The Boys" are part of that arm of the Vatican who just so happens to coordinate operations such as NDAs. Dana does not know this because she has no clue how deep this is going to get. She would if she read my blog because you know darn well she will never, ever reach out to me on dealing with anything remotely relevant to child welfare in Michigan.

 Nessel was joined at the news conference by the head of Michigan State Police, Col. Joe Gasper, who echoed Nessel's remarks.

"I also want to echo your comments regarding the importance of reporting tips directly to law enforcement," Gasper said. "We take all leads seriously and it's critically important that we hear directly from you when you have information to provide."

Are you going to start taking seriously the screams of kids in the foster care system and directly report to law enforcement or shall we continue with that "hire a private attorney" response of your office when it comes to a private contractor in child welfare.  The Archdiocese of Detroit, and the rest of the state, have those cherished, private child welfare contracts.

In response, the Archdiocese of Detroit issued a statement contesting some of Nessel's points, saying it wants to "clarify some of the broad generalizations made during today’s press conference."

The statement said: "The Archdiocese of Detroit does not self-police. We encourage all victims to report abuse directly to law enforcement. When we learn of an allegation of sexual abuse of minors, we immediately notify law enforcement authorities, in accordance with the agreements we have had in place with them since 2002..."

FUN FACT! I MAY HAVE BEEN A CATALYST IN THIS 2002 GRAND EPIPHANY OF "ENCOURAGING" REPORTING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT, WHICH IS STILL NOT A LAW, WHICH THEY STILL DO NOT REPORT

Ned McGrath, director of public affairs at the Archdiocese of Detroit, criticized Nessel's remarks about how investigators should have badges, not rosaries.

Yes, that was pretty pithy, but you have to give props where props are due.  That was a smackdown.

“The rosary is a treasured devotion of the Catholic Church," McGrath told the Free Press. "And it’s troubling to have it used as a punch line. Here’s hoping future statements show no additional disrespect.”

There actually was no disrespect. A badge has legal authority. A rosary is a tool of privatization.  Sorry, McGrath, your coup to completely take over the State of Michigan has yet to come to full fruition.  "The Girls" are on it!

The Archdiocese also took issue with Nessel's remarks on NDAs:

"Since 2002, the Archdiocese of Detroit has not entered into any nondisclosure agreements, unless specifically requested by a survivor of abuse, as required by the Catholic Church in the United States.

In addition, the archdiocese does not enforce any nondisclosure agreements signed prior to 2002 ..."

Nessel's remarks happen to come on the same day that Pope Francis kicked off a four-day summit at the Vatican to discuss the issue of sexual abuse among clergy. Michigan has about 2 million Catholics.

Timing is everything.  I wonder if Dana is going to cross over to the proper side of history and become a whistleblower?  Time will tell.

Michigan is one of more than a dozen states that launched investigations after a report released last year by the Pennsylvania Attorney General showed extensive abuse by priests and cover-ups by Catholic leaders.

Nessel said they have received 300 tips so far and are reviewing hundreds of thousands of pages of documents.

What about the contracts?

Nessel compared the reaction of Catholic Church leaders to the reaction of leaders at Michigan State University to the sexual abuse of Larry Nassar.

"Oh, no she did not"!

"The clergy abuse investigation is jarringly similar to the MSU investigation in that both institutions when confronted with a public sex abuse scandal, publicly pledged their cooperation with law enforcement authorities, but it failed to deliver on those public promises," Nessel said. "And regrettably, it would seem as though these two powerful institutions care more about protecting their brand than the people they serve."

Hey Dana....if you look really closely, you will see the financial connections in the contracts.  Let me give you a hint on where to start ===> The Michigan Children's Trust Fund.  Can you say "DACA or DAPA"? I can.  You can, too, if you do the right thing for the public trust of the children.

Nessel said victims should contact law enforcement even if the statute of limitations to prosecute has ended.

There still are civil options for obtain justice....that is if you have money because you know no one wants to look at the false claims filed for Medicaid cost reimbursement of those child welfare contracts.

No money, no justice.

"We may not be able to charge every priest, but our office will be sending letters to the diocese when we find credible allegations, and we ask that the diocese step up and deal with these abusers and protect people from them when the statute of limitations keeps us from being able to do that ourselves, which is often the case, or frankly, when there are other unethical acts that are uncovered," Nessel said.

If you cannot charge every priest, meaning there are many who will walk, can you at least take a look at the contracts? How about the child welfare NGOs?

The Archdiocese said in response that "the state of Michigan’s mandated reporting laws have been in place for decades. Through the years, we have strongly supported expansions to the list, including the addition of clergy. The Archdiocese of Detroit regularly educates all mandated reporters of their duties to report sexual abuse or neglect of minors."

Mandated reporters are a limited group of individuals, under the law.  I do not feel like looking it up, but you can on the top right of the page, but clergy are not mandated reporters because the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is a private, foreign corporation, registered as a UCC in Michigan, which means that the State Attorney General is too much of a little punk to take this matter to the proper jurisdiction to the ICC because what has happened to the children in these christian child placing agencies is nothing but a war crime of forced migration and torture of a child.

Nessel said her office has sent letters to parishes asking them to inform their members of the state's investigations.

Step it up and go out to the private, contracted child placing agencies like Bethany Christian, Wellspring, Orchards Children's Services and Samaritas and hold a full blown interactive with the Administration and Boards to let them know they have been put on public notice.  On second thought, if you do that, you will have to do the same with the all the other "non-faith based". Oh, well, it was just an idea.

She encouraged victims of abuse or those who may know about possible abuse to contact the state through its hotline. 

Can kids still in foster care report abuse?  That would be grounds to terminate parental rights of the Michigan Children's Institute Superintendent for being abused and neglected while under the legal guardianship and custodianship of the State.  Guess foster kids should just go back to praying they find a good pimp to rescue them from the aegis of the state.

The Archdiocese of Detroit said in its statement that when it "became aware of the Attorney General’s request for parishes to publicize the state’s tip line, we immediately offered to help our parishes facilitate the publication of that material."

Yup, the email was sent.

The Archdiocese of Detroit also said it "has not been asked by the Attorney General’s Office to stop its internal review process. These internal investigations are required under Church law, and their purpose is to restrict or remove from ministry anyone who has committed sexual abuse of a minor or vulnerable adult."

The act of defrocking or removing one from ministry is an act of exile from the law of the sea for justice to be served from the laws of the land for bearing false witness to their office of the children's trust.  Congress possesses a similar procedure of removing a member of the body from public office.  It is called impeachment, nullification, indictments in other jurisdictions, you know, due process.

During her news conference, Nessel also spoke about her investigations into the Flint water crisis and Michigan State University over abuse tied to Larry Nassar.

Did Dana say Sparrow?  I missed that.

Col. Gasper of Michigan State Police said "we are committed to seeking justice for all the victims in the cases and we were also equally committed to ensuring that we conduct a thorough and proper investigation."

In its statement Thursday, the Archdiocese of Detroit also said:

"Since the Attorney General’s investigation began, the Archdiocese of Detroit has not received notification from that office regarding credible accusations against any of our priests. Should we become aware of such a complaint, we will act immediately."
