Another loss for the sociopath and his lawyers. On August 7, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, sitting en banc, decided Committee on the Judiciary v. McGahn. The case concerns whether the House Judiciary Committee has standing to seek enforcement in federal court of its subpoena to former White House Counsel Don McGahn. A majority of the court held that the committee does have standing. Judge Judith Rogers wrote the majority opinion, while Judges Karen Henderson and Thomas Griffith filed dissenting opinions. Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, who had both worked in the Trump Administration, did not participate. The majority notes that for over forty years, the D.C. Circuit has recognized that defiance of a congressional subpoena constitutes an institutional injury that can be remedied by the courts; the history of executive branch cooperation with legislative oversight extends back even further. www.lawfareblog.com/summary-en-banc-dc-circuit-rules-house-committee-has-standing-sue-enforce-mcgahn-subpoena

Liars gonna lie. It's now second nature for Republicans: The report, write six of the GOP members, “exhaustively reviews the counterintelligence threats and vulnerabilities to the 2016, but never explicitly states the critical fact: the Committee found no evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russian government in its efforts to meddle in the election” (emphasis in original). The current acting chairman of the committee, Marco Rubio, went further in a statement of his own: “We can say, without any hesitation, that the Committee found absolutely no evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russian government to meddle in the 2016 election.” Really? Absolutely no evidence? Sen. Rubio can say that without even a moment’s hesitation? What Senate Republicans are saying about their own report comes perilously close to simple lying. Yet here is the unanimous Senate Intelligence Committee calling “grave” the counterintelligence threat posed by the Trump campaign chairman, calling another advisor “a prime intelligence target and potential vector for malign Russian influence,” and describing the candidate himself as seeking advance notice of the disclosure of Russian-stolen emails by WikiLeaks. It is one thing for Mueller to make such findings. It is quite another for the Republican senators themselves to do so—all the while acting as though they are not accusing Trump of anything untoward. www.lawfareblog.com/republican-senators-misrepresent-their-own-russia-report

Stone coordinated with Wikileaks and Trump knew about it. Russia>Wikileaks>Stone>Trump. That's a lot of collusion for "no collusion." Are Republicans cool with that? Is that now acceptable?

For Trump cultists, enablers and the vast majority of Republicans it is. Afterall, the sociopath purports to be "pro-life."

Busy Friday In an unsparing, 30-page brief, John Gleeson, tapped by Sullivan to argue against the dismissal of the case, suggests that the Justice Department’s arguments for letting Flynn off the hook conflict with its positions in other cases — and even in earlier rounds of the Flynn case itself — and therefore can only be chalked up to Trump’s pressure campaign. www.politico.com/news/2020/09/11/court-corrupt-doj-drop-michael-flynn-case-412555

Ron "Red" Johnson - Putin's propaganda/disinformation purveyor. The reports retread familiar ground for those who followed the 2019 impeachment inquiry. And it’s hard to read these reports and not come to the same conclusion as those proceedings indicated: Hunter Biden’s role on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma had no impact on the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy decisions. But regardless of the substance of the reports, the episode paints a bleak picture of the demise of a key vehicle for congressional oversight. The years spent under Johnson’s leadership chasing unfounded conspiracies have sucked away the HSGAC’s credibility and atrophied the committee’s ability to conduct credible oversight. www.lawfareblog.com/what-make-johnson-grassley-report-biden-and-burisma

More misrepresentations in the Flynn case from corrupt Barr's flunkies. Lawyers for Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok disputed the department's claim to have vouched for the accuracy of certain documents related to the case. But correspondence between the two attorneys and DOJ reveal that neither vouched for the accuracy of the documents. In fact, McCabe's lawyer Michael Bromwich and Strzok's lawyer Aitan Goelman affirmatively refused to do so, according to a review of their email exchanges with Assistant U.S. Attorney Jocelyn Ballantine. www.politico.com/news/2020/10/27/justice-department-michael-flynn-filings-432851

The treasonous Republican Party still supports a turncoat five-time draft dodging sociopath. Under a heading labeled “Treasury Targets Known Russian Agent Konstantin Kilimnik,” the department announced that Kilimnik—whom the press release described as a “Russian and Ukrainian political consultant and known Russian Intelligence Services agent”—had, in 2016, “provided the Russian Intelligence Services with sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy.” In one sense, the news might seem relatively minor. It’s one more development in a story that has been slowly dripping out into the public for more than three years. But that development answers a crucial question—and strengthens the evidence of coordination between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. www.lawfareblog.com/new-russia-sanctions-resolve-mystery-mueller-left-unanswered
