JUDICIARY: Hearing On Jobs, Justice & Peace - Without Once Saying His Name
The Committee addressed qualified immunity by resurrecting the Second Amendment of the right to keep and bear the arms of the United States and the respective States which issues the licenses.
With great discernment, the Committee amazingly addressed the legacy of Conyers, without once saying his name, or the fact that he, as Chairman Emeritus of Judiciary, was denied due process, assassinated by blasphemy.
Absolutely amazing to witness the soulless execute such a bipartisan task.
Nessel calls for public database of Michigan's problem police officers
Detroit Police Chief James Craig speaks after officer Waldis Johnson's funeral Detroit Free PressLANSING – The public could access a statewide database of problem police officers under a set of reforms put forward Tuesday by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.
Nessel said in a news release she wants the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards to create a police misconduct registry of verified claims of abuse or other misconduct made against police officers in Michigan.
The proposed registry is part of a seven-point plan Nessel released amid nationwide discussions about police reform in the wake of the Memorial Day death of George Floyd, a Black man who died during an arrest by Minneapolis police.
Frank Guido, general counsel for the Police Officers Association of Michigan — a union representing more than 12,000 officers in more than 300 local police and sheriff departments — said he is OK with some of Nessel's proposals, two of which he said are already in place, but he has concerns with others.
As for the public database, how would misconduct be defined? Guido asked. Also, "is this a requirement that is appropriate for all government employees?" or would only police officers be singled out, he asked.
The Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards sets professional standards in education, selection, employment, licensing and funding in law enforcement and criminal justice in Michigan. Last week, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced she was adding four seats to the commission — which has been dominated by law enforcement representatives — to give it a greater community voice.
Nessel said that in 2016 the commission began requiring that law enforcement officers be licensed. But she said the commission "lacks sufficient authority to oversee law enforcement professionals and to revoke the licenses of police officers who demonstrate poor moral character or violate the public trust."

The measures she announced Tuesday are "the first step toward implementing positive change in our criminal justice system," Nessel said.
In addition to the database, Nessel called for:
Amending the Public Employee Benefits Forfeiture Act so that officers forfeit their retirement benefits upon conviction of a felony related to misconduct while on duty.
Authorizing the commission to suspend or revoke a license when an officer engages in certain misconduct.
Requiring police agencies to maintain all disciplinary records of a police officers in their personnel files.
Requiring police agencies to report use of force data, with information about the civilians' race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion and age.
Creating an independent investigative and prosecutorial process for deaths resulting from police actions.
Requiring continuing education for officers as a condition of licensing and improving and standardizing policies and training related to conflict de-escalation, cultural awareness, and implicit bias.
The public registry of problem officers would be a departure for Michigan. Until 2018, when Public Act 128 of 2017 took effect, even Michigan police agencies often could not review the circumstances under which police officers seeking employment left their previous departments. That had led to an issue with problem officers moving from one police agency to another, without their records following them.
“We must do more than just condemn bigotry and acts of excessive force committed by law enforcement officers. We must act,” Nessel said.
"Making meaningful and concrete changes doesn’t end here, but it’s crucial that we move first with measures which create better accountability and more transparency to the actions of law enforcement here in Michigan."
Guido said no officer should forfeit pension money they have contributed or earned for past service.
He also expressed concern about the proposed license suspensions. Guido wondered who would make such determinations and what due process protections would be in place.
"The concepts are far too broad," he said. "Not much job security for a law enforcement officer if every move is subject to someone claiming, after the fact, it was detrimental to the department — and now you lose your job because of knee-jerk reactions."
Maintenance of disciplinary records already occurs, as do independent investigations, and additional training is always welcome as long as the government funds it, Guido said.
"Reporting data is not objectionable as long as sufficient funds are provided out of the AG budget for personnel to do record-keeping," Guido said. "Also, the data should include information concerning the individuals that attack law enforcement."
In an executive order Tuesday, President Donald Trump called for creation of a national database of problem officers to track potential police hires with records of abuse. But unlike the registry proposed by Nessel, Trump's database would not be accessible to the public. Instead, data from the national database would be made anonymous and periodically made public, according to the order.
Until Whitmer's recent executive order, the Commission on Law Enforcement Standards had 19 members. The AG, the director of the Michigan State Police and the chief of police in Detroit are all members. The other 16 members are appointed by the governor, based on recommendations from various law enforcement groups, such as the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police.
Whitmer's order adds as members the director of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights and three community representatives.

The Press Conference Of Rayshard Brooks
Rayshard Brooks was asleep, in his registered vehicle, in a Wendy's parking lot.
He had no weapon because he was patted down.
He could have been ordered to walk home or even call to be picked up.
Instead, the visions of George Floyd, constantly bombarded by media, left the searing imprint of what was to happen next - death.
In those few moments of fight or flight, the visions of being arrested, losing your vehicle, job, home, children and reputation, to make it to a safe haven to contact an attorney, if you can even afford one, overtakes one's thoughts for the instinct of survival.
Perhaps, he just wanted to make it home to his daughter's birthday party before he went into the system.
His daughter was waiting for him to return home for her birthday party.
The officer discharged his weapon in a crowded parking lot where stray bullets hit another vehicle.
There is no empathy in law enforcement because there is no love in law, where, if the officer did not follow through on his own law enforcement training, he would have faced disciplinary charges as all officers have body cams, and are no longer allowed to make their own judgments.
He could have just been ordered to walk home or get picked up, but there are those who justify the shooting as "resisting arrest".
The officer has been fired.
The family is asking the out of towners to stop tearing up their city.
The out of towners are the ones rioting.
The victims and survivors are asking for peace.
Everyone needs to watch the residuals of the peculiar institution because it always starts with the children.
We teach hate.
Slavery was never abolished because there is the Exception Clause.
We do not teach the history of the right of a civil society nor will media report upon this fact, because there is too much money involved and no one cares.

The Trey Gowdy Podcast - "Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall, Who Is The Fairest Of Them All"
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all."
Trey is an ethics expert.
Justice comes in all shapes and forms, but the Great Mystery, is how?
He is foreshadowing to what is coming - due process.
Many do not qualify for due process in a wake of false claims, the bearing of false witness, or rather, propaganda.
See how easy it is to understand the purpose of Fairy Tales?
The tales, or what I like to refer to as one's armorial, are to ensure what has happened against humanity, never happens, ever again, but this time, we possess the methods and means to address such transgressions of due process in the public square through technology, preserved in the annals of history.

GAO OMB Decision On Withholding Ukraine Security Assistance
This is interesting.
A legal arm of Congress comes out with an opinion to support Congress in support of its congressional Articles of Impeachment.
Very interesting considering the fact that the GAO does not have the greatest history, particularly when we are dealing with children, but, hey, what do I know?
I know I have been on the GAO for more than a hot minute.
I also know that this is quite interesting that the GAO came up with this opinion, without examining any documents or questioning any humans.
This sounds like a CPS recommendation to terminate parental rights case.
You just cannot make this stuff up.
The independent watchdog said in an opinion issued Thursday that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) withheld the appropriated funds last summer not as a programmatic delay but in order to advance the president’s own agenda.
By doing so, the watchdog concluded, the White House violated what’s known as the Impoundment Control Act (ICA).
“Faithful execution of the law does not permit the President to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law,” the report said. “OMB withheld funds for a policy reason, which is not permitted under the Impoundment Control Act (ICA)...Therefore, we conclude that OMB violated the ICA.”
The GAO opinion touched on a matter at the center of impeachment proceedings against President Trump: The decision by the White House to withhold nearly $400 million in U.S. aid to Kyiv as it fights off pro-Russian separatists.
Democrats allege Trump dangled the promise of aid and a White House meeting as leverage to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to open investigations into a 2020 political rival. They argue the White House then sought to obstruct their impeachment inquiry by blocking the testimony of current and former White House officials, while asserting absolute immunity over their testimony.
The OMB, however, pushed back against the GAO opinion, arguing that the White House office used the “apportionment authority to ensure taxpayer dollars are properly spent consistent with the President's priorities and with the law."
Acting OMB Director Russ Vought tweeted that the GAO report "comes from the same people who said we couldn’t keep National Parks open during the shutdown."
Administration officials have argued they were seeking to ensure Ukraine was properly fighting widespread corruption, despite the Pentagon already certifying at the time of the delay that Ukraine had met the requirements set by Congress and after notifying Congress of its intent to release the funds.
A senior administration official on Thursday characterized the GAO report as an “overreach” and blasted the independent watchdog for getting involved “in the media's controversy of the day.”
“In their rush to insert themselves in the impeachment narrative, maybe they'll have to reverse their opinion again," the senior administration official said, pointing to changes to earlier GAO opinions.
Still, the timing of the report’s release could not be more inconvenient for Republicans.
The GOP-controlled Senate on Thursday is expected to set a time for the House impeachment managers — who will be arguing the case on the Senate floor to remove Trump from office — to exhibit the articles of impeachment charging Trump with high crimes and misdemeanors.
The Senate procedure comes one day after the Democratic managers silently marched the two charges — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — over to the upper chamber, setting the stage for the impeachment trial over Trump’s contacts with Ukraine.
Democrats, who have pushed Senate Republicans to allow new witnesses and testimony, are seizing on the GAO report as reinforcing their argument that the president abused his authority for politically motivated purposes.
“This bombshell legal opinion from the independent Government Accountability Office demonstrates, without a doubt, that the Trump Administration illegally withheld security assistance from Ukraine,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), who requested the GAO to review the hold, said in a statement. “The GAO’s independent findings reinforce the need for the Senate to obtain all relevant documents and hear from key fact witnesses in order to have a fair trial.”
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) in a statement said the GAO opinion “demonstrates once again that the President violated his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed as he put his personal and political interests above the interests of the nation and its security.”
Pointing to the GAO opinion that federal employees and officials take oaths to protect the law of the land, Schiff said: “Now, the Senate will have the opportunity to act on its oath.”
The GAO report said Trump overstepped his authority. Congress has the power of the purse, the watchdog said, while the president has the power to accept or veto legislation passed by both chambers. But the president does not have the authority to then bend or ignore a law once it is enacted, the report said.
“The President is not vested with the power to ignore or amend any such duly enacted law,” the GAO said. “The Constitution grants the President no unilateral authority to withhold funds from obligation... Instead, Congress has vested the President with strictly circumscribed authority to impound, or withhold, budget authority only in limited circumstances as expressly provided in the ICA.”
The GAO noted that the White House could have provided a detailed and specific reasoning to justify the withholding under the Impoundment Control Act at the time, but the OMB did not do so.
“Not only did OMB not submit a special message with such a proposal, the footnotes in the apportionment schedules, by their very terms, established dates for the release of amounts withheld,” the GAO wrote.
The only other authority to put a freeze on the aid, the GAO said, is to withhold the funds through a deferral, a decision that would be justified if the administration had recognized “savings or efficiencies that would result from a withholding, or any law specifically authorizing the withholding.”
“In its response to us, OMB described the withholding as necessary to ensure that the funds were not spent ‘in a manner that could conflict with the President’s foreign policy,’” the report said. “The ICA does not permit deferrals for policy reasons...OMB’s justification for the withholding falls squarely within the scope of an impermissible policy deferral.”
Mark Sandy, a senior OMB official, told House investigators during a closed-door deposition in late November that Trump's delay rankled agency staffers, leading two employees to resign in part because of their frustration.
“This person expressed to me concerns about actions vis-à-vis the Impoundment Control Act,” Sandy testified, referring to an OMB lawyer who had resigned.
The GAO report comes shortly after the House acquired new evidence from Lev Parnas, an associate of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who has claimed the president was aware of a scheme to seek the removal of U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and to create conditions to push Zelensky to announce investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden in order to help Trump’s 2020 reelection chances.
The White House has denied the claims of wrongdoing, attacking the credibility of Parnas, who is under indictment.
Democrats also received ammunition from former national security adviser John Bolton after he said in a statement earlier this month that he would be willing to testify if the GOP-controlled Senate chose to subpoena him for testimony.
It is unclear whether witnesses will be allowed in the trial.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been cold to the idea of calling any witnesses, but Democrats won a near-term victory on Wednesday when the GOP leader agreed to a rules package that leaves open the potential for new witnesses to appear.
Anything less, Democrats have charged, would be a dereliction of the Senate’s duty.

No Due Process For Civil Rights Leaders In Detroi
It will be alright.
No one cares because they did the same thing to my Sweetie.
Society has no civility for the rights of due process of "ThePoors" (always said with clinched teeth).
This is how you bleachbit history.
Driving for Lyft is a retirement gig for William Thomas. He's been doing it for three years.
Lyft driver says rider’s warning post on Facebook was misconstrued
A metro Detroit man is trying to clear his name as a Lyft driver after a rider shared a warning on Facebook with his photo and license plate not to accept a ride from him.
"East side, west side, north side, south side, I'm everywhere," he said. "I love it, man."
The once cross country bus driver and civil rights activist from Selma, Alabama has a motto: "When I can help one person my day is not in vain."
It's that giving spirit that spiraled into a warning on Facebook with a post that's been shared hundreds of times now.
"My face is plastered everywhere, all the way down in Florida," he said.
Friday morning he picked up a female passenger from Amazon in Romulus, Mich.
"I said how you doing because I ask that to everyone. She said, 'I'm sick.'"
William, getting over a cold himself, offered her some peppermint oil. He and his wife are big into essential oils after her brain aneurysm three years ago.
"I put it on [a tissue] and I said, 'All you got to do is [sniff] and pass it over your nose and it will help you breathe.'"
William had no idea she was taking a picture for a warning post later on, and that she was scared for her life.
Another post includes his picture and license plate.
"All three of my sisters called my crying carrying on, 'Your picture is all over Facebook.' I said for what? What did I do?"
It's spreading in neighborhood groups, too, some with more than 100,000 followers.
FOX 2 reached out to and spoke with the passenger who made the post, who told us she does not have any intention of taking the original post down. She said at that moment she was passed the tissue, she felt threatened and was genuinely scared.
The passenger also contacted Lyft to try and open an investigation but said Lyft wasn't planning on doing so. The passenger has not contacted police about what happened.
William insists he was just trying to help. He wants to clear his name and he's worried the public shaming will affect his job. Even if the passenger did take the post down, it likely wouldn't make a difference because of how much it's already spread.
"I can't believe you try to help people and they stab you in the back like this."
William also went to Woodhaven Police in Michigan to see if there was anything they could do to stop the post from spreading but unfortunately there was nothing they could do.

ROMULUS, Mich. (FOX 2) - A Facebook post about a young woman's scary experience during a Lyft ride is getting a lot of attention online, but the driver at the center of it says she got it all wrong.

Michigan Supreme Court To Decide If Courts Can Continue Stripping Civil Rights From The Poors
And you wonder why I always say, "No money, no justice."
Michigan has no poverty exemption waiver when it comes to the access of the court documents and forms.
Michigan cases are not even accessible online.
As a matter of fact, PACER charges to access court documents.
I guess in forma pauperis is just one more mechanism being stripped in the right to a civil society.
Among their objections: They fear they’ll lose money.
The Michigan Supreme Court is holding a public hearing Wednesday in Lansing.
Courts typically charge people to make copies of public documents. Someone with an electronic device could do it for free. For example, Mason County charges $1 per page. Clerk Cheryl Kelly says the proposed rule “would put a dent in our revenue.”
Besides copying documents, the rule would allow people to use an electronic device to take notes, search the internet and send or receive text messages in a courtroom.
Lawyers, who typically can carry phones, are in favor of the change, especially if it helps them stay in touch with clients in a courthouse.
Courthouses prohibiting cellphones include Third Circuit Court of Michigan and 36th District Court in Detroit.

Will Buzzfeed Publish The Notes Of Jeannie Rhee - The Mueller Report Working Papers
The DOJ is executing a selective, slow, distractive release of the Mueller notes to Buzzfeed.
Why, you may ask?
Well, Buzzfeed, particularly Jason Leopold, has a few questions which need to be answered regarding the funeral of Monday.
I am waiting for Jeannie Rhee and her notes.
What if all those documents were unsealed after the grand jury votes to indict, a key component of due process, you know?
Many of roughly 500 pages of documents – in a package BuzzFeed called “The Mueller Report’s Secret Memos” – relate to interviews with FBI agents. Various email correspondence is also included.
BuzzFeed and CNN sued for access to Mueller’s witness interview notes. In October, a judge ordered the Justice Department to release new tranches of the notes monthly to the two news organizations.
BuzzFeed News published the first tranche of FBI documents related to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into the 2016 election and Russian efforts to aid Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
The documents are heavily redacted and feature some of the headline names from the two-year Mueller investigation, including Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney and fixer, and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, both of whom are currently serving federal prison sentences.
More: Mueller documents: Manafort pushed Ukraine hack theory
In one document, former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon refers to Manafort in an Nov. 5, 2016, email to Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, days before the presidential election and months after Manafort supposedly parted ways with the campaign.
“We need to avoid this guy like the plague,” Bannon wrote to Kushner. “They are going to try and say the Russians worked with WikiLeaks to give this victory to us. Paul is a nice guy but can’t let word get out he is advising us.”
Manafort had started the email string on the subject of “Securing the Victory,” telling Kushner that he was “really feeling good about our prospects.” Fox News host Sean Hannity was also mentioned in Manafort’s note and in other documents.
Russia, if You’re Listening
Another revelation from the cache was a reflection made to the FBI by Rick Gates, Trump’s former deputy campaign chair, about then-candidate Trump’s infamous comment about Russia in July 2016.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said, referring to Hillary Clinton’s deleted messages.
The remark was an ad lib, Gates contended. The same document showed Gates remembering staff conversations that “someone out there” must have the missing Clinton emails.
Gates also said Manafort had offered the theory that Ukraine, not Russia. was behind a June 2016 hack on the Democratic National Committee computers. That idea, which has been discredited by U.S. intelligence agencies, is still pushed by Trump and others, and has become central to the current Democratic impeachment inquiry into the president.
For what country?
In another document posted by BuzzFeed, drawn from the summary of Bannon’s interview with the FBI, the former Goldman Sachs investment banker recalled having first met Trump in 2010. Conservative activist David Bossie, president of Citizens United, was also present, and said that Trump was thinking of running for president in 2012. According to the recap, Bannon asked, “for what country?”
After making requests through the Freedom of Information Act, BuzzFeed and CNN sued the U.S. government for the right to see the primary-source information that Mueller’s team didn’t disclose when it published its 448-page report in March. Justice Department lawyers say the material could run to 18 billion pages.
The process of releasing all the documents monthly will probably take eight or more years.

Why, you may ask?
Well, Buzzfeed, particularly Jason Leopold, has a few questions which need to be answered regarding the funeral of Monday.
I am waiting for Jeannie Rhee and her notes.
What if all those documents were unsealed after the grand jury votes to indict, a key component of due process, you know?

When Is An Executive Order Illegitimate?
Riddle me this:
If an elected official if judicially determined to be illegitimate, does that mean the Order stands?
Flags should be lowered to half-staff starting Monday — the day of his funeral — through Sunday.
Conyers, a Detroit Democrat, was one of the longest-serving members of Congress and used his influence to push for civil rights. He co-founded the Congressional Black Caucus in 1969.
Whitmer says Conyers’ impact on Michigan “will not be forgotten.” She cites his work to spearhead criminal justice and voting rights changes and advocating for civil rights.
