Bill and Hillary Clinton agree to testify in House Epstein investigation

Source: Guardian

Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed on Monday to testify in a House investigation into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, days before the chamber was expected to vote to hold them in contempt of Congress.

The concession follows a tense back-and-forth between the Clintons and the Republican James Comer, chair of the House oversight committee, who on Monday said that he would insist both Clintons sit for a sworn deposition before the committee in order to fulfill the panel’s subpoenas.

“They negotiated in good faith. You did not,” Angel Ureña, a spokesman for the Clintons, replied to Comer, in a post on social media. “They told you under oath what they know, but you don’t care. But the former president and former secretary of state will be there. They look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone.”

The House was headed towards potential votes this week on criminal contempt of Congress charges against the Clintons. If passed, the charges threatened the Clintons with substantial fines and even incarceration if they were convicted. “The Clintons do not get to dictate the terms of lawful subpoenas,” Comer said.

THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE: The hero ABC reporter who interrupted Trump's rude ass to say, "can you answer the question?"

is Karen Travers.

Donald Trump only attacks female reporters who are vastly smarter and more professional than him, so Travers was an obvious target.

Reporters rushed out of the room because Trump shit his pants. lol Lady in green tasted it.

Have you noticed that the same types of poses trump uses for public pictures, the facial exaggeration, grimace

are the same that hitler used for effect? I remember reading about how much effort hitler put into the posed pictures and used those exaggerations during speeches. He even had experts helping with his tough guy theatrics. I've noticed more and more being used on social media posts like it's orchestrated,

Senate Democrats considering deal to head off partial government shutdown * giving tRump a belated xmas present?

Senate Democrats considering deal to head off partial government shutdown
A vote for short-term DHS funding bill would give the party time to negotiate reforms on immigration operations

Senate Democrats are considering a deal that would head off a partial government shutdown and give the party time to negotiate new restrictions on immigration operations in response to the killings of US citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis.

The talks, confirmed to the Guardian by a Senate aide, come after Senate Democrats demanded a series of reforms on federal agents involved in Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign, including a prohibition on wearing masks, the imposition of a code of conduct and independent investigations of violations.

"give the party time to negotiate new restrictions on immigration operations" This sounds like a weak kneed excuse to surrender, they will gain nothing while the fascists keep winning.

FBI supervisor resigns after trying to investigate agent who shot Renee Good

Source: Guardian

A supervisor in the FBI’s Minneapolis field office who unsuccessfully attempted to investigate the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in the city on 7 January has resigned, according to multiple reports.

News of agent Tracee Mergen’s resignation surfaced shortly before federal agents fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday. Pretti and Good were both 37-year-old US citizens.

Mergen resigned following pressure from the bureau in Washington DC to discontinue an inquiry into ICE officer Jonathan Ross, who shot Good to death as videos showed her trying to drive away from a confrontation, according to the New York Times and NBC News.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his

community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Alex and tens of thousands of Minnesotans have boldly defended their neighbors against the murderous occupation of an American city by the federal government. I am enraged and heartbroken for Alex, his family, Minneapolis, and America.

The great pretender, the taco dictator posts digitally altered image of woman arrested after ICE protest

The White House posted a digitally altered image of a woman who was arrested on Thursday in a case touted by attorney general Pam Bondi, to make it seem as if she was dramatically crying, a Guardian analysis of the image has found.

The woman, Nekima Levy Armstrong, also appears to have darker skin in the altered image. Armstrong was one of three people arrested on Thursday in connection to a demonstration that disrupted church services in St Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday. Demonstrators alleged that one of the pastors, David Easterwood, was the acting field director of the St Paul ICE office. Bondi announced the arrests on social media Thursday morning.

Homeland security secretary Kristi Noem posted an image of Armstrong’s arrest at 10.21am on Thursday, less than an hour after Bondi’s announcement. The image shows a law enforcement agent, face blurred out, escorting Armstrong, who appears to be handcuffed. Armstrong, dressed in all black, appears to be composed in the picture.
