DOJ: Solicitor General Noel Francisco Announces Departure from Department of Justice

Either Noel Fransico is going to stand up and bear witness to the war crimes of gerrymandering, or rather stealin' the children, land & vote in his JonesDay stint with Kevyn Orr, as the first Emergency Manager transposable model for the Privateers to invade and conquer the United States, or he shall take his role as a co-conspiritor in the planned and coordinated attack on Michigan Government, by advocating for that fake ass Detroit Bankruptcy, where everyone who was swagging a cross around their necks got settlement for some fake ass debt against the City of Detroit by getting settlement in quiet title properties, stolen, through fake ass Rock Financial, et al, Corporate Shape Shifters through the Perkins Coie Sucks Detroit Land Bank Authority, which is was the *russian/israeli/ukrainian* election interference because they money launder through child welfare organizations to fund political campaigns.

Boo Boo Barr still does not get the fact that you cannot promulgate, on behalf of foreign operatives who wish to overthrow the United States, the privatization of our children, land and vote with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, under the guise of what these "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) are cloaking as Corporate Parental Rights, or rather the residuals of the peculiar institutions, because institutions are corporations, where, corporations are people, and, as such, demand parental rights, under another one of their fake ass laws they want to lube up with prolifer propaganda, slither into existence, for the purposes of fraudulently billing Medicaid, in furtherance of the best interests of the child, because children are chattel, legally acquired through default asset forfeiture laws for hailing from the population of "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth) when it comes to maximizing profits through trafficking tiny humans, and their souls, through the children's trusts.

Solicitor General of the United States Noel Francisco announces his departure from the Department of Justice, effective as of July 3, 2020.

“Solicitor General Noel Francisco has represented the United States superbly before the Supreme Court for the past three Terms,” said Attorney General William P. Barr.  Boo Boo Barr lies because Noel was mean to my Sweetie. “Arguing before the Court 17 times on behalf of the federal government, he has been a principled and persuasive advocate on issues ranging from the separation of powers to religious liberty to vigorous enforcement of federal immigration law.  His skilled advocacy has been instrumental to historic victories on behalf of the President’s national security authority, the free speech rights of public employees, and property owners’ access to federal courts, among many other significant accomplishments.  Away from the courtroom, he has been a steady and respected leader for the Office of the Solicitor General, a wise counselor to me and others in the Executive Branch, and a good friend.  I am grateful for his tireless service to his country and the Department of Justice, and I wish him well in his future endeavors.”

“It has been the honor of my professional career to serve as the Solicitor General of the United States,” said Solicitor General Noel Francisco.  “Representing the United States before the Supreme Court is one of the greatest jobs in the law and an opportunity for which I am deeply grateful.  I am proud of the significant success the Office of Solicitor General has had in advancing the rule of law of in our great nation alongside the dedicated men and women at the Department of Justice — some of the finest lawyers I have known.”

Since his appointment in 2017, Noel Francisco has served over three Supreme Court Terms as Solicitor General and has represented the United States before the nation’s highest court in more than 150 merit cases.

Under Solicitor General Francisco’s leadership, the United States consistently and successfully advocated in support of our nation’s core Constitutional principles including religious liberty, separation of powers, first amendment freedoms and enforcement of immigration laws.  Over the course of his impressive tenure as Solicitor General, Francisco argued before the Supreme Court 17 times.  Significant victories include:

• Trump v. Hawaii: upholding the President’s restrictions on travel from countries that present national-security risks.
• Janus v. AFSCME: holding that the First Amendment prohibits requiring public employees who decline to join a union to pay union dues (overruling a 1977 decision, Abood v. Detroit Bd. of Education).
• Kisor v. Wilkie: significantly limiting judicial deference to agency interpretations of their own regulations while retaining such deference in core applications.
• Knick v. Township of Scott:  allowing property owners to bring claims for government takings in federal court without first suing in state court (overruling a 1985 decision, Williamson County Regional Planning Comm’n v. Hamilton Bank). Gerrymandering
• Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Comm’n: concluding that Colorado violated the Free Exercise Clause in enforcing its antidiscrimination law against a baker who declined on religious grounds to create a custom cake for a same-sex wedding.  Corporate Parental Rights

In overseeing federal litigation, Solicitor General Francisco made strategic use of emergency motions to defend important federal programs against improper nationwide injunctions.  To that end, the government obtained relief from the Supreme Court on major immigration initiatives, including the travel proclamation, restrictions on asylum abuses, allocation of funds to build a border wall, and revisions to the definition of a public charge.  As a result of these successes, some lower courts have begun to curb the erroneous use of nationwide injunctions.

The Office of the Solicitor General and entire Department of Justice thank Solicitor General Francisco’s service and leadership.

Stacey Abrams Sucks Because She Believes Biden, But Not Conyers

Oh Stacey.

The New York Times possesses absolutely no legal authority to investigate a #MeToo allegation, silly!

Since you want to be the Vice Presidential Candidate for Joe Biden, because someone knows you will swiftly be elevated to be POTUS, yoy should really go ask Perkins Coie Sucks, or some of your other "Legal Geniuese" (trademark pending) over there at the DNC, to properly advise you before you open your mouth.

Do you seriously believe everything printed in the newspapers or are you and your staff so daft that you do not know how to engage current credible and reliable law enforcement authorities to lodge a formal request to exhaustively investigate the matter of Tara Reade, as a right of due process.

You should know that you cannot go around accusing someone of lying in the public record without allowing for her civil right to due process.

Just because you were, whether knowingly or willingly, part of the denial of due process for Member of Congress, does not mean you can tear up the #MeToo agenda just because it does not fit your political career aspirations.

Now, I know, I know, you are going to dismiss me just because this Act is only for the House, and does not apply to a former Senator who is running to be the leader of the free world, and all, but, you may want to take a few moments to put down your bucket of fried chicken your campaign purchased for you and read this.

Funny.

You believe Biden but not my Sweetie.

You suck, Stacey and you probably suck your PAC purchased fried chicken bones, too.

Hey Stacey!

Why not ask for Conyers' Ethics referrals to the DOJ.

You know Trump keeps obstructing justice by keeping those IG Reports in his backpocket.

That would definitely get you that coveted VP spot.

Stacey Abrams on Tara Reade sexual assault allegation: 'I believe Joe Biden'

Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) on Tuesday night defended presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden when asked about sexual assault allegations from Tara Reade, a former Biden aide who has alleged that the then-senator sexually assaulted her in a secluded part of Capitol Hill in 1993.

"I believe that women deserve to be heard and I believe they need to be listened to, but I also believe that those allegations have to be investigated by credible sources," Abrams, who is said to be on the shortlist to be Biden's running mate, told CNN's Don Lemon.

"The New York Times did a deep investigation and they found that the accusation was not credible," she added. "I believe Joe Biden."

The Times, in the report that Abrams referenced, said that the newspaper found "no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden" but didn't come to a conclusion on the credibility of Reade's allegations.

In 2019, Reade was one of several women who came forward and said that Biden’s public touching had made them uncomfortable.

Last month, she alleged for the first time that Biden had assaulted her. Lynda LaCasse, a former neighbor of Reade's, said earlier this week that she recalled Reade recounting the story of the alleged assault to her at the time. Reade’s brother, Collin Moulton, has previously said that she told him that Biden “had his hand under her clothes at some point.”

Reade said that she confronted other Biden aides about the alleged incident at the time, but the aides that she named have gone on the record saying that Reade never confronted them about the allegation. Reade also said she filed a complaint with the human resources office in the Senate about the allegations of inappropriate touching, though reporters to this point have failed to find the complaint. Reade said she believes that the complaint is in Biden's Senate archives at the University of Delaware, which has stated that it won't release the former vice president’s records until he has stepped away from public life.

Biden's campaign has vigorously denied Reade's allegations, but the former vice president has not addressed them.

“Vice President Biden has dedicated his public life to changing the culture and the laws around violence against women,” deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield previously said to The Hill. “He authored and fought for the passage and reauthorization of the landmark Violence Against Women Act. He firmly believes that women have a right to be heard — and heard respectfully. Such claims should also be diligently reviewed by an independent press. What is clear about this claim: It is untrue. This absolutely did not happen.”

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday also defended Biden, saying "when we say believe women, it’s for this explicit intention of making sure there’s space for all women to come forward to speak their truth, to be heard."

“And in this allegation, that is what Tara Reade has done. She has come forward, she has spoken, and they have done an investigation in several outlets," Gillibrand, a former presidential candidate who also called for then-Sen. Al Franken(D-Minn.) to resign in 2017 in the wake of a sexual harassment allegation, said.

"Those investigations, Vice President Biden has called for himself," she added. "Vice President Biden has vehemently denied these allegations, and I support Vice President Biden.”

Tales Of The New Crown: TARP 2.0 To Roll Out In Detroit

I truly hope you take great pride in knowing I did this in one breath, and did not pass out in constructing my response to TARP 2.0, by which these people taunt me, calling it Families First Coronavirus Recovery Act.

https://beverlytran.blogspot.com/search?q=families+first

The ukrainians did not waste any time setting up their fraud schemes, oops, I mean lending. See, those loans to the bank from the Treasury are going to be forgiven, but the loans from the bank to the small businesses will not, so they can foreclose on them after the businesses do renovation, new stock, new marketing campaigns, you know, turnkey shops, so they can turn around and sell them to other foreign corporations through fake ass LLCs, so they can take out small business loans, where the federal government will forgive the loans to the bank, but the bank will not forgive for the small business, then foreclose on them, wiping out the debt, so they can sell it to another fake ass LLC...... and the cycle becomes eternal because they will go through the Detroit Land Bank Authority by and through the Archdiocese of Detroit, to run the money through lots of trafficking tiny human NGOs like Catholic Charities, and other foster care and adoption agencies, who are the ones who will be buying up these foreclosed small businesses with their fake ass LLCs to fund political campaigns, to pass more asset forfeiture laws, so they can come up with more fake ass LLCs to .....

[breathe.....breathe....breathe...]

These people taunt me.

These people think they are funny.

This is JonesDay & Perkins Coie Sucks in full spectacle.

This is TARP 2.0 and they went full force in letting the world know that they are claiming their foreign corporate Parental Rights.

This is gerrymandering on steroids and you know what that is...stealin' the children, land & vote.

This is what happens when you get a federal emergency manager.

Emperor Pence is just an magnus of Kevyn Orr.

Listen to him tell you exactly what he was planning to do to the nation, starting @12:15

Emperor Pence campaigning at the Detroit Economic Club on his path to claim the crown as Emergency Manager to launch TARP 2.0.

Hey, they got away with TARP, so why not do it again.

This is about Parental Rights.

Detroit Sues Top Slumlords, Except The Detroit Land Bank Authority

Hmmmm.......

If City of Detroit Corporate Counsel, Larry Garcia is suing the top three Detroit landlords for blight and health hazards; where the Detroit Land Bank Authority is the largest Detroit property owner; then, how come the Detroit Land Bank Authority is not named in this action?

Oh, wait, I know!

If Larry names the Detroit Land Bank Authority, as a party to the action, then, that would mean that the Detroit Land Bank Authority is not a part of the City of Detroit, meaning it is a private operation, and, as such, would have to provide its corporate parent disclosures and instruments of authority, of which was dissolved by Bill Schutte, some time back, in the State Court of Claims, when he has his legal lackey enter into the record that I was a public nuisance.

Uh, oh.

I, also, seem to recall that Carmack case, that is coming up relatively soon for trial, where no one wants to talk about the Detroit Land Bank Authority being in that chain of command of the deed to the property Larry is claiming was stolen from the City, when there has yet to be an explanation of how the Detroit Land Bank Authority acquired the property, in the first place, considering that it was never incorporated, despite Janice Winfrey taking it upon herself to declare incorporation, because she is almighty and stuff, because someone from JonesDay told her so.

But, then again, it could have been someone from Perkins Coie Sucks, or both.

Hey, what do I know?

I know if Larry is not going to go after the largest blight owner in the City of Detroit, that made itself a creditor in the Detroit Bankruptcy, by settling fake ass debts with properties that were fraudulently foreclosed upon, through fake taxes, where the Detroit Land Bank Authority has a history of levying fake ass taxes with their fake ass, made up powers of authority, because it never incorporated, and pilfered all the Hardest Hit Funds out the country into their own personal ventures through children's trust funds, to run back into the U.S. to fund political campaigns, because, if he did, he is going to have to do battle with Butch Hollowell and the lot.

If I had the energy, I would file to intervene, just because Larry is not going after the Detroit Land Bank Authority, but I will not, simply for the fact that I know how this is going to end.

Detroit sues landlords for blight and health hazards

DETROIT (FOX 2) - The city of Detroit is suing three notorious landlords for neglect, blight and health hazards.

Detroit says the property owners might have 1,000 properties combined all across the city.

City of Detroit goes after slum lords with lawsuits
The city of Detroit is suing three notorious landlords for neglect, blight and health hazards

FOX 2 went to look at three properties on the list filed in Wayne County Circuit Court against Steve and Stephen Hagerman a father and son team, Salameh Jaser and Michael Kelly.

They have earned a title from the city we're sure they don't want - some of the city's most notorious speculators and slumlords.

FOX 2 tried to track them down, stopping at Michael Kelly's office Friday. So far we haven't been able to reach them for comment.

The city says it took legal action because according to them, these folks buy up a bunch of properties and rent them out - even though they were never brought up to code.

They are dilapidated homes that often have serious and terrible health and safety risks like peeling lead paint. The city says the folks above have piles of tickets for not following the rules, and this is a new approach.

"This is a new tactic to attack a business model that is particularly pernicious," said Lawrence Garcia, Detroit city attorney.

Pernicious because they invest and neglect - but in some cases the properties are vacant.

"The notion of a public nuisance, the notion that these properties present an unreasonable danger to the public grossly - I think that is an idea whose time has come."

In the lawsuits the city asks the court to declare the business model a public nuisance and make owners keep their properties up, stopping them from buying more properties until they get their act together.

JUDICIARY: Citizens United Hearing - No One Wants To Talk About The Children's Trust Funds, Parental Rights Of Foreign Corporations Or FARA

So, Judiciary has a hearing on corporation PACs where they had Ted Deutch, of Ethics and Pramila Jayapal testify as witness experts on dark money, without calling out foreign corporations running Medicaid fraud into political campaign like Bob MAXIMUS GOODLATTECUS, former Judiciary Chairman did with TEVA, under Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

No one even mentioned how MAXIMUS GOODLATTECUS tried to pull a fast one and introduce legislation to gut the Ethics Committee that was investigating this matter, that Ted Deutch did not even mention.

This was about corporate parental rights, which seems to be a concept foreign to Judiciary, because no one wants to talk about the children's trust funds.

Perkins Coie's SEC Money Laundering Trust Fund Emolument Fraud Scheme

Yes, we all know the FEC does not have a quorum, but no one wants to talk about the U.S. Treasury having superseding powers of authority over political campaign finance.

One reason is because Perkins Coie Sucks, which basically runs the FEC, where Marc Elias is MIA when it comes to those pesky congressional subpoenas no one is enforcing.

This was a hot mess of a hearing!

BREAKING NEWS: Area 1 Security Claims Trump Had Russia Hack Burisma Because The CrowdStrike Psyoptic Did Not Go So Well

It seems those wily "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) over there at Perkins Coie Sucks are at it again!

I guess it would have been awkward to use CrowdStrike, again.

Impeach, I say! 

Dilly, dilly!

And, now, you know why the world was waiting for Nancy Pelosi to send over those Articles of Impeachment.

I guess Oren Falkowitz was a bit squeamish in executing the DNC's latest and greatest plan, but, then again, pending prosecution of war crimes always seems to impede those pesky timelines, but, hey, what do I know?

https://www.area1security.com/

Here is a list of the victims of the GRU hack....

https://www.hudson.org/

The DNC said Mueller warned us, but, obviously, no one listened...

Burisma targeted by Russia-linked phishing attack, raising election-meddling fears

It’s unclear if the hackers found any information

A Silicon Valley-based security firm called Area1 says it has found indications that state-sponsored Russian hackers have successfully hacked the Ukranian gas company Burisma, as first reported by the The New York Times. The company has taken on a central role in US politics because of its connection to Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden, whose son Hunter sits on the company’s board.

In July, President Trump asked Ukraine’s government to investigate Burisma to find damaging information on the Biden family, allegedly threatening to withhold military aid to the country if the prime minister did not announce an investigation. That request is at the center of the president’s ongoing impeachment proceedings, and has made Burisma a tempting target for anyone seeking to meddle in US politics.

According to Area1, the security firm that detected the attacks, says they detected phishing emails sent to Burisma employees bearing many of the hallmarks of GRU hacking campaigns. The hackers were apparently successful in getting employee login info they used to gain entry into one of Burisma’s servers, although it is unclear how much information was obtained. If the GRU is in fact involved, it’s possible the group could have been looking for embarrassing information to be released during the 2020 presidential campaign.

THEY REPORTEDLY GAINED ENTRY TO ONE BURISMA SERVER
In hacking Burisma, the Russian hackers could be following a similar playbook as what they reportedly did to undermine Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign during the 2016 election. In January 2017, US intelligence officials released a report outlining how that Russian intelligence services successfully hacked the Democratic National Committee and stole information that was slowly and regularly leaked to the public to help the campaign of then-candidate Trump.

The Tale Of Ian "Co-conspirator" Conyers & The Text He Sent To Me

Ian Conyers at MDP 2016 Presidential Election Night

Gather round, my Dearies, for I shall tell the tale of Ian Conyers, one of the "Co-conspirator" of the 2016 election interference coup.

How serendipitous!

First, there is a "blurb", for lack of a better term, about my City Councilman, Gabe Leland.

Then, Rashida Tlaib, my U.S. Representative, has a "blurb" for lack of a better term.

Then, Fox2Detroit puts out a "teaser" for lack of a better term, about Fat Ass (a.k.a. William Isaac Robinson) and his own "radioactive issues" for lack of a better term.

Then, on the cusp of the House Judiciary ready to present to the Floor for the vote on Articles of Impeachment, I get a text message...

Ian Conyers here please respond to my request to release my name http//ianconyers.com

How considerate since he is a co-conspirator in the coup against his great-grand uncle and never even called me when my Sweetie's death was announced.

Ian did not even offer to buy the domain, he just demanded that I respond to his request.

Ian sponsored Detroit Land Bank Authority bills, during the pendency of my Detroit Land Bank Authority case, in his State Senate District, registered, at the time, with Michigan LARA.

That is called a cover up, or just really dumb.

Either way, Ian has demonstrated grounds of incompetency, presenting him to be unfit to remain in office.

Ian campaigned with Mike Duggan, the Detroit Mayor under SIGTARP and a conjugal collaborative of investigations.

Ian went to American University, junior spy grooming school, international.

Lest I fail to mention that Ian announced my Sweetie's retirement before he did, which meant he knew about the forged docs, the leak, and that #MeToo psyoptic.

Yeah, I said that because I am still in mourning, so I can do and say whatever I want.

And, he works for Biden's campaign.

Ian never once asked me my children, child welfare or anything on voting rights, or my public claims of election interference, considering the fact that I have an expansive history on the state and federal court dockets.

Ian never championed due process for my Sweetie, which is an issue within itself, because Ian knows these are false claims to remove an elected official, yet never disavowed the accusations, which makes him a co-conspirator of a coup.

I am not even going to mention the Detroit grand juries because that would take all the steam out of my grande entrance into society.

Unfortunately, I am unable to make any technical changes to my blog because I have dedicated the entirety of my work to the U.S. Attorney & Inspector Generals, and all the other policy & law enforcement entities around the globe.

My blog is also entered into the federal record, so, to bleachbit history would be treasonous, on my part.

So, as we sit in limeny, awaiting to find out about those Ethics Investigation referrals to the DOJ, whereby, Trump has been obstructing justice by keeping the reports in his backpocket, let us watch, with cocktails & popcorn in hand, to see what the next bold action shall be from the co-conspirators of the coup.

I wonder if Perkins Coie Sucks is consulting him, yet.

That Moment When Jim Jordan Realizes He Is A Co-Conspirator Of Jeffrey Epstein

Jim Jordan said that Nancy Pelosi said that Donald Trump is an imposter.

But Perkins Coie Sucks said that Jim Jordan said nothing about the trafficking of tiny humans nor has he mentioned Abigail Wexner, wife of Les Wexner, business associate of Jeffry Epstein, and her financial fondness to when it comes to legislation and campaigns, when she sits on the Board of Trustees for Ohio State University.

https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/

The chairman, Mr. Gasser, called the meeting of the Board of Trustees to order on Friday, November 16, 2018, at 10:02 a.m. Members Present: Michael J. Gasser, Timothy P. Smucker, Clark C. Kellogg, AlexShumate, Brent R. Porteus, Hiroyuki Fujita, Alan A. Stockmeister, John W. Zeiger, Gary R.Heminger, Elizabeth P. Kessler, Lewis Von Thaer, H. Jordan Moseley, Janice M. Bonsu, Alan VanderMolen and Janet Porter. Members Absent: Abigail S. Wexner, Cheryl L. Krueger, Erin P. Hoeflinger, Alex R. Fischer and James D. Klingbeil.

What Jim fails to understand is that he fails to understand that he, too, is part of the investigation because Jeffery Epstein, and all of his co-conspirators operated an international coup against the United States from his own Congressional District, and they were all very, very mean to my Sweetie, including you, Jim.

This is about trafficking tiny humans, Jim, which funded your campaigns and promulgated legislation, and quid pro quo'ed your own votes, Jim.

Here is the best part of the draft:

Before we get started, I want to take a moment to welcome our newest trustee, Lewis Von Thaer. Lou is the ninth CEO of Battelle, and I have had the great pleasure of working with him for over a year now in my role on the Board of Directors of Battelle. I have a feeling everyone here is going to enjoy having Lou as a colleague. Lou earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees in electrical engineering from Kansas State and Rutgers University, respectively. He began his technology career with AT&T Bell Labs, where he served for 14 years until General Dynamics purchased his division. After working at General Dynamics for 16 years, he joined Leidos as president of the company's National Security Sector, a $4 billion business focused on intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, cybersecurity and system solutions. Before joining Battelle, Lou was the CEO of DynCorp International, where he was responsible for driving growth across several federal market sectors. Lou serves as board chair of Pacific Northwest National Lab and co-chair for UT-Battelle — which is the operator of Oak Ridge National Lab. He sits on the boards of Nationwide Children’s Hospital, the National Defense Industrial Association and the Defense Science Board, and is a trustee for the Kansas State University Foundation. Additionally, he is a member of the Ohio Business Roundtable and the Columbus Partnership’s Executive Committee. p3

New lawsuit in Ohio State sex abuse scandal brings number of victims to nearly 350

Richard Strauss

“Dr. Richard Strauss is dead. He can’t pay for his crimes,” the lawsuit states. “Only his enabler is left.”

Ohio State University was hit Wednesday with another lawsuit alleging that school officials and coaches failed to protect students and athletes from Richard Strauss, the deceased team doctor now accused of sexually assaulting hundreds of athletes and students.

“Dr. Richard Strauss is dead. He can’t pay for his crimes,” the lawsuit states. “Only his enabler is left.”

With this latest lawsuit, filed in Columbus, Ohio, by Pennsylvania-based attorney Joseph Sauder and five other law firms from around the country, the number of men who are suing Ohio State has climbed to around 350.

Richard StraussThe 1978 employment application information for Dr. Richard Strauss, from Ohio State University's personnel files.Ohio State University via AP

“The numbers don’t lie,” the suit states. “These men were repeatedly sexually abused by Strauss at different times, in different manners.”

But in the complaint, the accounts from plaintiff Dr. Mark Chrystal and 48 “John Does” all appear to follow a similar pattern that an independent investigation noted earlier — Strauss using the excuse of giving physicals or medical treatment to sexually abuse hundreds of young men between 1978 and 1998. He died in 2005.

Chrystal attended Ohio State on a soccer scholarship from 1992 to 1997, the complaint states.

"The day before his exam some of the older members of the soccer team 'joked' about the physicals with Dr. Strauss, stating that he was a ‘pervert’ and he was 'only interested in inspecting genitals,'" Chrystal recounted in the lawsuit.

The next day, Chrystal said, he was subjected to an “invasive physical exam” during which he was subjected to “degrading and inappropriate comments.”

When asked for comment, Ohio State spokesman Ben Johnson referred NBC News to a previous statement from the school saying, "The university is actively participating in good faith in the mediation process directly by the federal court.”

And outgoing Ohio State President Michael V. Drake has apologized to the victims and Ohio State has stated repeatedly that it has led the effort to “expose the misdeeds of Richard Strauss and the systemic failures to respond.”

The John Does in the lawsuit are former Ohio State athletes from a number of different sports, including at least five former wrestlers who competed for the school when Russ Hellickson was head coach.

Hellickson is named in the lawsuit as one of the coaches who was allegedly aware that Strauss was preying on students.

"When you're doing weigh-ins, you're too hands on, Doc," Hellickson told Strauss after wrestlers complained, the suit states.

Hellickson declined to comment to NBC News.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who was an assistant wrestling coach at the school at the time and has been accused of turning a blind eye to the abuse, was not mentioned in the latest lawsuit. He has denied any knowledge of what Strauss was doing.

A report prepared for Ohio State by the independent law firm Perkins Coie that was released in May said that what Strauss was doing was an “open secret” and that coaches and administrators at the school failed to sound the alarm or stop him. Also, a former wrestler named Dunyasha Yetts told NBC News he reported to coaches directly that Strauss acted inappropriately and a referree claimed in a lawsuit he informed the coaching staff of misbehavior by Strauss.

As a matter of fact, Jim did not say a god damn thing of remorse to the death of my Sweetie, so, I shall just assume, unless he would like to respond, that he is a Meanie.

What Do Rashida Tlaib, Ethics & FEC Have In Common? #PerkinsCoieSucks

Q: What do Rashida Tlaib, Ethics & FEC have in common?

A: Perkinsoiesucks

It seems Rashida Tlaib, et al, have a disregard for due process because there exists multiple, ongoing investigations pertaining to the 13th Congressional District, but then again, we are dealing with "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending).

Taken from the Office of Congressional Ethics Referral:

The decision to pay Rep. Tlaib a salary from the campaign remained a source of concern for Rep. Tlaib, and thus for her campaign staff, throughout her campaign. Ultimately, the campaign paid Rep. Tlaib $45,500.00 between May 7, 2018 and December 1, 2018. 

The OCE requested an opportunity to interview Rep. Tlaib in order to address her potentially problematic salary payments. Rep. Tlaib declined to interview with the OCE. Likewise, campaign staff members with knowledge of her receipt of salary payments also declined to interview with the OCE.

It also seems Rashida and her co-conspirators do not believe they must be transparent, since the Michigan Attorney General's Office is busy, busy, busy!

It also seems NPG VAN has bank routing information for DNC campaigns.

In the bank transactions, I see "ACH/BANKCARD MERCH DEP". Are there any other entities other than NGP VAN that has the campaigns routing numbers to make transactions? - There is one transaction for a withdrawal of $2,500 on 5/11/18... it just didn't seem to match other financial activities of NGP VAN that I could see. The Credit Union couldn't tell me any more than what I can see on the on-line transactions.  p65 ref.

I am in utter shock...nah, not really.... J'ai dit une bêtise.

Brian Svoboda of Perkins Coie Sucks is representing Rashida.

Brian also represented Conyers, but, now he has died, which means he no longer has

Brian lied.

Brian is a co-conspirator.

At least we now have a cursory understanding of her motivation to impeach Trump.

Here are the Exhibits of her Ethics Referral.

If only Trump would stop obstructing justice and pull that House Ethics Committee referred DOJ IG Report from his backpocket, we would at least find out why she is an illegitimately elected, but hey, what do I know?

I know the Horowitz FISA IG Report is to be released December 9, 2019.

I know Trump is obstructing justice because there is an Order of Protection for the Whistleblower from the Highest Authority.

Rashida knows who the Whistleblower is.

Someone should ask her to identify the whistleblower, because the information is already public knowledge, in the public record.

Let us sit back, and enjoy cocktails and popcorn to see what happens next because all those freshmen candidates Nancy propped up the those 2018 Congressional Districts by and through the techniques of gerrymandering, are going ahead full steam with the impeachment.

(This is the part where Nancy Pelosi sells Rashida down the river.)

Ethics panel extends probe; report says Tlaib likely misused campaign funds

"I did nothing wrong because I am a Legal Genius."

The House Ethics Committee said Thursday it's extending an investigation into Rep. Rashida Tlaib and released a report that alleged there's "substantial reason to believe" she misused campaign funds.

The report from the Board of the Office of Congressional Ethics focused on payments Tlaib's campaign made to the Detroit Democrat after the Nov. 6, 2018, election but before she took office. The report recommended the matter receive further review and even suggested the committee subpoena the freshman lawmaker and three campaign staffers.

Tlaib has denied wrongdoing.

Under federal regulations, candidates are generally allowed to receive salary payments from their own campaigns. However, one of the many conditions for those payments is they must be for work performed through the date of the general election.

"Rep. Tlaib, through her counsel, argues she complied with these conditions; however, several documents provided to the OCE by Rep. Tlaib suggest otherwise," the report said. "Specifically, documents provided to the OCE indicate Rep. Tlaib was paid for work she performed after November 6, 2018 — the date of the general election."

Tlaib received a $2,000 payment on Nov. 16 and a $15,500 payment on Dec. 1, according to the report. The other payments she received from her campaign — $28,000 total — occurred before the election.

The report included an email from Tlaib's campaign treasurer to campaign staff. The email said "for most of us" the pay period for Dec. 1 checks was  "Nov. 16, 2018 to December 31, 2018."

The OCE board unanimously recommended further review of the allegation that Tlaib converted campaign funds to personal use. A press release from the House Ethics Committee said "in order to gather additional information" the committee will review the matter.

"... Out of fairness to all respondents, and to assure the integrity of its work, the committee will refrain from making further public statements on this matter pending completion of its initial review," said a statement from top members of the House Ethics Committee.

The Ethics Committee is evenly divided among five Democrats and five Republicans, though it is chaired by Democratic Rep. Ted Deutch of Florida.

A formal response from lawyers for Tlaib called the report "unprecedented." The response noted the House is looking into events that occurred before Tlaib took office and that are traditionally handled by the Federal Election Commission.

Tlaib's lawyers said the payments that occurred after the election were "to catch up on the salary which she had accrued, but had theretofore been withheld."

In a statement, Tlaib said she had to leave her job as a civil rights attorney to campaign for the U.S. House in 2018 while raising two sons as a single mother. Federal regulations allowed her to receive a salary, and she "received the minimum salary payments necessary for me to meet my personal financial obligations, while ensuring that the campaign reserved the resources needed to reach voters," the freshman lawmaker said.

Tlaib's statement added, "I look forward to the Ethics Committee’s prompt resolution of this matter in my favor, and I hope my experience will clear more room for people like me to run for office by availing themselves of FEC innovations that level the playing field, like paying a non-incumbent candidate salary or covering childcare expenses with campaign funds, so that financial privilege is not a prerequisite to participate in our democracy."

CERNOVICH: Tribute To John Conyers, Jr. - Perkins Coie Sucks

Right-wing activist: ‘Kind of gratifying’ Conyers named me ‘on the way down’

Right-wing activist Mike Cernovich on Sunday ripped Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) for calling him an “alt-right” blogger responsible for raising claims of sexual misconduct against the congressman.

“It’s kind of nice, it’s kind of gratifying that a member of Congress on the way down throws a shoutout to Mike Cernovich,” Cernovich said in remarks live-streamed online, adding that he does not associate with the alt-right movement.

Rep John Conyers steps down, lies about Mike Cernovich on his way out. #UnsealTheDeals https://t.co/wBx14WBwQK

Conyers announced Sunday he is stepping down as ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee pending an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment.

RIP John Conyers. Our legacies will always be tied together. See you on the other side.https://t.co/icjSQpxnWj

— Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) October 27, 2019

“I deny these allegations, many of which were raised by documents reportedly paid for by a partisan alt-right blogger,” Conyers said in a statement.

BuzzFeed News reported last week that Conyers settled a wrongful dismissal complaint in 2015 with a former employee who alleged she was fired because she would not “succumb to [his] sexual advances.”

Other staffers alleged that the Democrat made requests for sexual favors, inappropriately touched staffers and used congressional resources to transport women that they believed he was having sexual relationships with at the time.

The BuzzFeed report was based off documents provided by Cernovich, who provided them to the outlet after reportedly offering to pay $10,000 for the records. BuzzFeed said it independently confirmed the documents’ authenticity.

Cernovich said the reporters at BuzzFeed who broke the story haven’t gotten enough credit for doing so.

“In all seriousness, it is bullshit because I gave them the documents, but they did the work,” Cernovich said.

Cernovich said he acquired the documents and thought they looked “good to go.” However, he reached out to BuzzFeed News for advice on how to handle them, and they told him he couldn’t just publish them.

So, Cernovich turned the documents over to the news outlet, which published a story last week detailing the claims against Conyers.

Addressing his motivation for providing the documents, Cernovich said, "I want these deals out. I don’t like Congress, I don’t like the government."

Cernovich, a Trump supporter who has pushed conspiracy theories like "Pizzagate," has strongly disassociated himself from the movement known as the "alt-right."

In a video posted to his YouTube channel last August, Cernovich said he was originally open to the label because he considered the term an alternative to the "mainstream right." However, he later rejected the label because he felt the neo-Nazi movement took it over.

The Porn Cometh - Katie Hill & Those Other Sexually Insatiable Former #MeToo Congressmen

The porn cometh.

I am more interested by the means and methods of the drop.

One of my Cybergods suggested PornHub.

Feel free to leave comments and links, below.

This is going to be hilarious.

Katie Hill, rising Democratic star in House, denies relationship with staff member

WASHINGTON — Rep. Katie Hill, a first-term Democrat broadly thought-about a rising star in her social gathering, on Tuesday denied reviews that she had a sexual relationship with a member of her congressional workers however refused to touch upon an allegation that she was intimately concerned with a marketing campaign aide, saying nude of her and one other girl was revealed on the web with out her consent.

Hill, 32, of California, made her feedback in a quick interview and a press release in response to a report on conservative information website RedState alleging that she had been intimately concerned together with her legislative director and individually in a three-way sexual relationship with a younger marketing campaign aide and her husband, whom she is divorcing.

Members of Congress are barred by Home guidelines from partaking in sexual relationships with their aides, however the guidelines don’t cowl marketing campaign workers. Hill mentioned the , which seems to point out the congresswoman seated and brushing the hair of one other girl, was the topic of a police investigation.

“Intimate photos of me and another individual were published by Republican operatives on the internet without my consent,” Hill mentioned within the assertion.

“I have notified Capitol Hill police, who are investigating the situation and potential legal violations of those who posted and distributed the photos, and therefore will have no further comment on the digital materials,” she mentioned.

Conservative critics of Hill have referred to as on her to resign, saying the images posed a nationwide safety danger and will have uncovered her to blackmail. However Hill mentioned she had no intention of quitting. Supporters mentioned she was a sufferer of “revenge porn” — technically referred to as nonconsensual pornography — which is prohibited below California legislation.

Hill mentioned the tales, which she referred to as “a smear campaign,” have been being pushed by Republican operatives and a “husband who seems determined to try to humiliate me.”

She mentioned she had spoken to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her high lieutenant, Rep. Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland, concerning the matter. Hoyer declined to remark, and a spokesman for Pelosi mentioned the speaker was on her approach to Baltimore on Tuesday for the funeral of her brother.

Hill, who campaigned to make historical past as the primary overtly bisexual congresswoman from California, unseated a Republican, Steve Knight, within the so-called blue wave that carried Democrats to energy within the Home in 2018. She is a favourite of Pelosi, who named her vice chairwoman of the Home Oversight and Reform Committee, an unusually high-ranking place for a freshman on a panel that’s enjoying a vital position within the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

Hill represents elements of the Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys, probably the most conservative district in Los Angeles County, and is anticipated to have a tricky reelection race there. Because the RedState report, her Republican critics have been circulating the nude picture on Twitter, which has taken the posts down for violating the platform’s guidelines towards sharing express pictures of somebody with out their consent.

“She’s a victim of revenge porn, which is a form of domestic violence and psychological abuse,” mentioned Kat Walker, a gun management activist and Hill supporter, who mentioned she had spent the previous a number of days reporting Twitter customers who posted the picture. “We worked very hard for her. I already know I’m going to have to work very hard for her again, scandal or no scandal.”

The report involving Hill — and the Home management’s muted response to it — comes within the context of the #MeToo motion, amid heightened sensitivity concerning the conduct of males in positions of energy, together with members of Congress. It raises questions on whether or not there’s a double customary for women and men who have interaction in intimate relationships within the office.

RedState additionally revealed what it characterised as textual content messages between Hill and the marketing campaign aide, who was not recognized, that instructed Hill was breaking off their apparently consensual relationship so she may deal with her duties in Washington. If that’s true, consultants in office legislation mentioned, it may be inappropriate however not unlawful.

“Clearly there is an inherent power differential between Congresswoman Hill and a young campaign staffer who worked for her, but there’s nothing unlawful about having a relationship with people who work for you as long as it is consensual,” mentioned Debra Katz, a Washington lawyer who represents victims of sexual harassment. “But clearly this shows bad judgment.”

Some male Democrats mentioned privately Tuesday that if Hill had been a person, there would have been a right away uproar that may more than likely have resulted in a compelled resignation. In recent times, a number of males have resigned from Congress after tales about their sexual conduct, however these resignations typically concerned allegations of harassment.

The dealing with of such incidents tends to range case by case. In November 2017, Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, introduced that he wouldn’t search reelection after a nude picture of him was revealed, together with express textual content messages between him and a feminine constituent.

Additionally that November, Al Franken, D-Minn., was compelled out of the Senate after he was accused of groping girls, and Rep. John Conyers Jr. of Michigan misplaced his publish as the highest Democrat on the Judiciary Committee — and was finally compelled to resign after a number of former aides accused him of harassment.

A month later, Ruben Kihuen, a comparatively unknown Democratic Home member from Nevada, was accused of propositioning his marketing campaign finance director for intercourse regardless of her protestations. Inside hours, Pelosi, then the Democratic minority chief, demanded his resignation.

Hill’s critics have been making obscure threats on social media suggesting that extra revelations concerning the congresswoman are to come back. On Tuesday, RedState revealed an extra trove of textual content messages purportedly amongst Hill, the marketing campaign aide and her husband.

Rep. Katie Hill threatens legal action over nude photos

Attorneys for Rep. Katie Hill on Thursday threatened to bring legal action against a British tabloid for posting what it claims are nude photos of the freshman California Democrat.

Hill’s legal team — Marc Elias and Rachel Jacobs of the firm Perkins Coie — also suggested Hill was defamed over a report by the Daily Mail that she has a Nazi-inspired tattoo on her body.

In a cease-and-desist letter to Candace Trunzo, executive editor of the Daily Mail, Elias and Jacobs demanded that “you remove these photos from publication at once.” The newspaper ran a series of intimate photos of Hill and a former campaign staffer with whom it said she had an affair before Hill won her seat in Congress. Hill, who is going through an acrimonious divorce, has admitted to an “inappropriate” relationship with a female campaign staffer and apologized to her constituents over the matter.

Hill, however, has denied having a sexual relationship with her male legislative director, Graham Kelly. The conservative website RedState.org. reported that allegation initially on Oct. 18 and published a nude photo of Hill. The Hill-Kelly relationship was purportedly uncovered by Hill’s husband, Kenny Heslep. There is no proof that an improper relationship between Hill and Kelly — who also worked on her campaign — occurred. The House Ethics Committee is investigating the issue.

The 32-year-old has asked the U.S. Capitol Police to look into whether any criminal laws were violated by release of the photos.

The Daily Mail followed RedState’s initial report with the release of an array of intimate photos of Hill on Thursday, including one of her using a bong while naked. The Daily Mail did not respond to requests for comment about Hill’s threat of legal action.

“You have also exposed your publication to grave legal consequences for California has some of the strongest criminal laws in the United States against the secretive generation and distribution of private, sexual images,” Elias and Jacobs asserted in their letter to the Daily Mail. “The California Penal Code accordingly makes it a criminal offense to ‘intentionally distribute the image of the intimate body part or parts of another identifiable person.’”

In one photo, the Daily Mail reported Hill had a “Nazi-era tattoo.” Hill’s attorneys strongly denied this accusation and suggested the publication might have defamed her.

“The claim that Representative Hill has Nazi imagery on her body in the form of a tattoo is false and defamatory,” Elias and Jacobs said. “We demand that you immediately cease and desist the publication of these abusive and spurious images. The continued publication by your outlet or others of these images will warrant legal response.”

Weintraub Of Perkins Coie Sucks Makes A Politically Biased Public Statement From Her FEC Chair

I once asked the FEC about bearing foreign arms in an U.S. election and was dismissed, so I really do not know what the big deal is?

Oh, wait, I almost forgot.

Meet Ellen Weintraub - The Perkins Coie Sucks Legal Genius Who Is Chair For The Federal Election Commission - Has One Seen Marc Elias? #perkinscoiesucks

How is it she can make a prejudicial statement, supposedly to be the chair of an unbiased, judicial body, in the public record, devoid of any due process for POTUS, the Commander in Chief of the Executive Cabinet of which she participates.

She should recuse herself from the Commission, immediately.

She needs to be expelled from office for just being dumb.

In order for an U.S. President to make a request to another nation, it must go through the formal process, which has to go through the U.S. Department of Justice and through the State Department and put on a piece of paper.

Otherwise, it is protected under speech and debate, which is for Congress, not Weintraub, in all of her omnipotence.

The State Department handles the foreign stuff, where the Vice President is the signator.

She needs to be held accountable for her actions, all of her actions because she was mean to my Sweetie and is obviously, not qualified for public office for her lack of candor and/or jacked up deportment.

Her chair is not the bully pulpit of justice.

Election Commission chair hints that Trump asking foreign countries for help against Biden violates law

Minutes after President Trump called on the governments of China and Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a potential rival in the 2020 presidential campaign, the chair of the Federal Election Commission posted a reminder that seeking foreign political help is illegal.

In a tweet posted Thursday morning, Ellen Weintraub struck an incredulous tone.

Is this thing on? 🎙 https://t.co/K6phZRex8k

— Ellen L Weintraub (@EllenLWeintraub) October 3, 2019

Trump has said he wanted Ukraine to investigate “corruption” by Biden and his son Hunter, but the former vice president is a leading candidate to oppose him for reelection, and as his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has admitted, damaging Biden’s reputation is his actual purpose.

Weintraub is a Democrat, according to the FEC website, but was appointed to the commission in 2002, under President George W. Bush. Her nominal term expired more than a decade ago, but she has remained in the post as successive administrations have found it impossible to choose and confirm a successor.

Ellen Weintraub of Perkins Coie Sucks

On June 13, Weintraub originally posted a statement clarifying the illegality of candidates receiving election assistance from foreign governments after Trump told ABC News he would not alert the FBI if he was approached by a country such as Russia with damaging information about his 2020 opponent, and he would consider the information.

“It’s not an interference, they have information — I think I’d take it,” Trump told ABC. “If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI — if I thought there was something wrong. But when somebody comes up with oppo research, right, they come up with oppo research, ‘Oh, let’s call the FBI.’ The FBI doesn’t have enough agents to take care of it. When you go and talk, honestly, to congressmen, they all do it, they always have, and that’s the way it is. It’s called oppo research.”

Candidates often look for damaging information on their opponents, but generally from published stories, court papers or other domestic sources, not from foreign governments.

In response to Trump’s interview in June, Weintraub took the opportunity to remind the nation that what Trump had proposed doing violated U.S. law.

“Let me make something 100% clear to the American public and anyone running for public office: It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election,” Weintraub wrote. “This is not a novel concept.“

On Thursday, Trump was again asked what he was specifically seeking on a July 25 call when he asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for “a favor.”

“Well, I would think if they were honest about it, they’d start a major investigation into the Bidens,” Trump responded. “It’s a very simple answer. They should investigate the Bidens because how does a company that’s newly formed and all these companies, and by the way, likewise, China should start an investigation into the Bidens because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine. So I would say with President Zelensky, if it were me, I would recommend they start an investigation into the Bidens, because nobody has any doubt that they weren’t crooked.”

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who has taken the lead on the impeachment inquiry against Trump, echoed Weintraub’s warning.

Trump has tasked Attorney General William Barr to reach out to several foreign governments to investigate the role U.S. intelligence agencies played in the 2016 presidential election as a way to counter the narrative that Trump was aided by Russian interference. Special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers for their efforts to promote Trump’s candidacy, including hacking into and stealing files on a server used by the Democratic National Committee.
