AG Garland Said This Country Protected HIS Family. It's now Time For Him To Protect OUR Families






During his confirmation hearing for Attorney General, Merrick Garland answered a question from Senator Cory Booker by saying the following:

"I come from a family where my grandparents fled anti-Semitism and persecution. The country took us in and protected us. I feel an obligation to the country to pay back and this is the highest best use of my own set of skills to pay back."

Many Americans feel like we are watching our democracy crumbling courtesy of Donald Trump's continues lies about the election results. It's time for AG Garland to protect our families in our country as a way to "pay back" - in his words - the fact that this nation protected his family. Protecting families can only be accomplished by holding accountable not just the Trump supporters who attacked the Capitol on January 6, but the people who funded, organized and incited the insurrection as well.

Trump Organization attorneys given Monday deadline to persuade prosecutors not to file charges against it
Shayna Jacobs, Josh Dawsey, David Fahrenthold 2 hrs ago

Prosecutors in New York have given former president Donald Trump’s attorneys a deadline of Monday afternoon to make any final arguments as to why the Trump Organization should not face criminal charges over its financial dealings, according to two people familiar with the matter.

That deadline is a strong signal that Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. (D) and New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) — now working together, after each has spent more than two years investigating Trump’s business — are considering criminal charges against the company as an entity.

Earlier this year, Vance convened a grand jury in Manhattan to consider indictments in the investigation. No entity or individual has been charged in the investigations thus far, and it remains possible that no charges will be filed.

Prosecutors have shown interest in whether Trump’s company used misleading valuations of its properties to deceive lenders and taxing authorities, and in whether taxes were paid on fringe benefits for company executives, according to court documents and people familiar with the investigations.

Photos: Hoover Dam's massive reservoir hits record low, with no end to drought in sight

Source: Reuters, Nexstar Media Wire

...

The drought that has brought Lake Mead low has gripped California, the Pacific Northwest, the Great Basin spanning Nevada, Oregon and Utah, plus the southwestern states of Arizona and New Mexico and even part of the Northern Plains.

Farmers are abandoning crops, Nevada is banning the watering of about one-third of the lawn in the Las Vegas area, and the governor of Utah is literally asking people to pray for rain.

Firefighters are facing worsening conditions this summer – after nearly 10,000 fires in California alone during the last wildfire season burned 4.2 million acres (1.7 million hectares), an area nearly as large as Kuwait.

Droughts are a recurring natural hazard but made worse recently by an accumulation of extremely dry years for most of this century. Scientists say human-influenced climate change has exacerbated the situation.

"If you don't hold criminal politicians accountable, what are you doing? You are encouraging tomorrow’s criminal politicians." After Trump’s DOJ reportedly targeted Democrats in Congress, @glennkirschner2 talks to @AlexWitt about the need for accountability.

Fox News Host Calls for Vladimir Putin to Kill Joe Biden

https://twitter.com/HillReporter/status/1400581452291477507

Last month, President Joe Biden announced that he will attend a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva, Switzerland on June 16th.

...

But on Thursday, Fox News propagandist Greg Gutfield shared his vision. He would like to see Putin assassinate Biden.

“Do you think he should hold a summit? Should he meet with Putin?” The Five panelist Harold Ford Jr. asked Gutfield.



Secret Service Agents should go knock on that a-hole's door and put him under arrest!

Lock him up (and shut down fux $nooze!)

Judge Amy Berman Jackson strikes again (CNN article)

Excerpt:

Trump "continues to propagate the lie that inspired the attack on a near daily basis," she wrote in an opinion Thursday keeping riot defendant Karl Dresch in jail. "And the anger surrounding the false accusation continues to be stoked by multiple media outlets as well as the state and federal party leaders who are intent on censuring those who dare to challenge the former President's version of events."

Dresch, like other Trump followers, "stands ready to do it again," because of a belief that a civil war may be necessary and his allegiance to Trump, who continues to challenge the election, Jackson noted.

Her commentary about Barr, the Capitol rioters and the former President himself isn't atypical coming from the DC District Court, where several judges have made headlines in recent years for harshly calling out obfuscation in the Trump administration and the criminal actors connected to Trump.

But Jackson has handled more of the most high-profile cases than perhaps any other district judge in Washington, and she still oversees historically important cases.
