The judge who sentenced Roger Stone to prison orders Trump administration to turn over Ukraine emails The Trump administration has refused to publicly release 20 emails pertaining to withheld military aid to Ukraine ALEX HENDERSON MAY 14, 2020 3:18PM (UTC) The Trump Administration has been refusing to publicly release 20 e-mails pertaining to President Donald Trump's decision to withhold military aid to Ukraine in 2019, insisting that executive privilege protects them from having to do so. But Amy Berman Jackson, the federal judge and Barack Obama appointee who sentenced Trump ally Roger Stone to three years in federal prison, disagrees — and she has ordered the Trump Administration to release the e-mails. https://www.salon.com/2020/05/14/judge-who-sentenced-roger-stone-to-prison-orders-trump-administration-to-turn-over-ukraine-emails_partner/

Attempt to dismiss Flynn charges upended as court appoints former judge to probe possible perjury The judge will also "present arguments in opposition" of the DOJ's motion to dismiss criminal charges against Flynn IGOR DERYSH MAY 14, 2020 4:42PM (UTC) A retired federal judge has been appointed to "present arguments in opposition" of the Department of Justice's motion to dismiss criminal charges against former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, in an extraordinary move, appointed retired judge John Gleeson to not only oppose the government's motion but also present arguments on "whether the court should issue an order to show cause why Mr. Flynn should not be held in criminal contempt for perjury." Sullivan put a hold on the Justice Department's motion to drop the charges earlier this week. https://www.salon.com/2020/05/14/attempt-to-dismiss-flynn-charges-upended-as-court-appoints-former-judge-to-probe-possible-perjury/

Trump Calls for Obama to Be Hauled Before Congress for Massive Crimes He Declines to Outline “I understand President Trump’s frustration, but be careful what you wish for,” Lindsey Graham responded. Rachel Olding Breaking News Editor Updated May. 14, 2020 12:53PM ET / Published May. 14, 2020 11:56AM ET If President Donald Trump’s Twitter feed is an indication of where his head is at, his thoughts on Thursday morning were far from the 84,000 Americans that have died from COVID-19. The president’s morning obsessions included Barack Obama, a government whistleblower, his 22-0 record on congressional endorsements, and unspecified “good numbers” coming out of states that have begun to wind back pandemic-related shutdowns. In a tweet tagging Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, Trump called for former President Obama to be brought before Congress to testify about unspecified crimes that Trump thinks constitutes the biggest scandal in history. https://www.thedailybeast.com/

White House reporter says Trump’s jealous fury at Fauci finally boiled over: ‘You could see it in his body language’ Written by Travis Gettys / Raw Story May 14, 2020 President Donald Trump’s jealousy and anger toward Dr. Anthony Fauci boiled over into public view, according to a White House correspondent. Associated Press correspondent Jonathan Lemire said the president has privately been seething about his public health adviser’s positive approval ratings, and he was obviously angry that Fauci delivered bad news about the coronavirus pandemic during his testimony to Congress this week. https://www.alternet.org/2020/05/white-house-reporter-says-trumps-jealous-fury-at-fauci-finally-boiled-over-you-could-see-it-in-his-body-language/

Judge in Michael Flynn case throws a new curve ball — suggesting the Trump ally may have committed perjury Written by Cody Fenwick May 13, 2020 35 Judge Emmet Sullivan is clearly not happy with Attorney General Bill Barr’s handling of the Michael Flynn case. In a new order on Wednesday, Sullivan appointed retired Judge John Gleeson to step into the case and argue against the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the charges. Barr has directed the department to withdraw its criminal charge against Flynn, the former national security adviser to President Donald Trump. But many legal analysts have argued that the arguments for dropping the charges of lying to the FBI, in the face of Flynn’s guilty plea, are completely inconsistent with the department’s practices. It’s clear that Barr is carrying out his and Trump’s mission to tear down the work of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who first brought the charges against Flynn. https://www.alternet.org/2020/05/judge-in-michael-flynn-case-throws-a-new-curve-ball-suggesting-the-trump-ally-may-have-committed-perjury/ ADVERTISING

As predicted by many, Trump is going to go full monty as it becomes increasingly clear that he is losing electoral support, as well as the support of the sane GOP who realize that he is leading a parade over a cliff. His outbursts will become wilder and more frequent.

Nothing new here. Thatcher in Britain once said that she wanted a "good" crisis so that she could slash government without opposition, and junior Bush said pretty much the same thing. Its a conservative sort of thing.

The onion loaf is a crave food, but the Outback steak house's version is better, and I am told that the sauce you refer to is thousand islands dressing.

US faces ‘darkest winter in modern history’ unless it improves COVID-19 response: HHS whistleblower Written by Brad Reed / Raw Story May 13, 2020 A key federal health official will deliver a stark warning to lawmakers this week about the risks America faces if its response to COVID-19 are not improved. CNN reports that Dr. Richard Bright, who was ousted last month from his position as the head of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, plans to testify on Thursday that America will face its “darkest winter in modern history” without further measures to improve the government’s ability to test and trace people infected with COVID-19. “Our window of opportunity is closing,” Bright will say, as reported by CNN. “If we fail to develop a national coordinated response, based in science, I fear the pandemic will get far worse and be prolonged, causing unprecedented illness and fatalities. Without clear planning and implementation of the steps that I and other experts have outlined, 2020 will be darkest winter in modern history.” https://www.alternet.org/2020/05/us-faces-darkest-winter-in-modern-history-unless-it-improves-covid-19-response-hhs-whistleblower/

But most farmers are outstanding in their fields.

Do doubt that Barr was just waiting for an excuse to spring Manafort.

But I really miss the blueberry pancakes.

The biggest problem for Trump is that pretty much everyone in the room is smarter than him, except for GOP meetings.
