Carter Page Sues the DNC, Perkins-Coie, and Two Founders of Fusion GPS for Damages Suffered Due to False and Malicious Slanders Contained in the "Dossier"
"This is a first step to ensure that the full extent of the FISA abuse that has occurred during the last few years is exposed and remedied," attorney John Pierce said Thursday. "Defendants and those they worked with inside the federal government did not and will not succeed in making America a surveillance state." He added: "This is only the first salvo. We will follow the evidence wherever it leads, no matter how high. ...The rule of law will prevail." Page first filed a defamation suit on his own against the parties in October 2018 in federal court in Oklahoma, but that suit was dismissed in January 2019 after the judge ruled the court lacked jurisdiction over the case because neither Page nor the DNC had strong enough ties to the state.I'm not sure why Page is suing from districts where he has to make an argument about jurisdiction -- is he just trying to avoid suing in hyperliberal DC? That is probably the problem here.
Streiff writes:
The real goldmine here will not be a monetary settlement, it will be the discovery process which will give Carter Page’s legal team the ability to gain access to all manner of communications by the DNC and Perkins Coie concerning anything to do with the Steele Dossier.Meanwhile, Michael Flynn got some good news. The government had agreed, as part of his plea deal over a fake crime that never happened, to not seek jail time. People usually don't get jail time when they've done nothing wrong. But the prosecutors didn't like Flynn questioning their ethics, so they then sought up to six months in jail for him. So Flynn moved to withdraw his plea deal. The prosecutors have now backed down and are no longer seeking jail time, but just probation. I kinda think he should withdraw the plea anyway. The queen of conspiracies immediately jumped to, get this, insinuating a conspiracy theory:
22 days ago, DOJ prosecutors in the Mike Flynn case were asking for a sentence of imprisonment. Now they say they're not.

Under English Common Law, that was a crime called "Barratry" and it's still looked down on. But it is legal under American law, even though I do not think it should be.
Still, it's quite dangerous. Quite a few people got involved in financing Donziger's environmental jihad against Chevron a few years back, and they all suffered catastrophic losses when it blew up in their faces. The famous and powerful Patton Boggs Law Firm in DC was virtually destroyed by this back in 2014. They still live on as Squire Patton Boggs, but all of the original partners at the time took huge losses and were run out of the firm.

Katie Hopkins was suspended/banned from Twitter today. Said the wrong thing to the wrong SJW and they pulled all her tweets. Even the (for her) benign ones.
I don't agree with her on everything she believes or how she says things, but I love her enthusiasm. She has every right to say the things she did. Shame on them.

If something doesn't materialize by May-June time frame, which would be one year since Durham was tapped to investigate the origins of the Russia investigation then it's safe to say that nothing will be forthcoming until after the election.

there isn't much anyone can do about it.
its a federal crime to elimiate evidence if you're under investigation by the federal government, even if you were unaware of the investigation. I can't remember the statute but it was one of those gross overextentions of the law. The statute was for one specific exact crime, and a judge ruled "well that means any crime now."
Why? Because it makes the job easier for the FBI. Like 99% of the civil rights violation that law enforcement regularly engages in. "This makes things easier for us"

I was one who, years ago, used to also say "scumbag defense lawyer." And then as I learned more and saw more, I began to realize just how much of the time the Prosecution is even more corrupt than the Defense can ever be, because they have the power of the State on their side. The entire country has been getting a hands on demonstration of that the last 3 years now.
So, never say "scumbag defense lawyer" unless you add "fighting the scumbag prosecutor" in the same breath.

See the funny thing about Hillary's server is that it was acting as both a receiving MX server and a forwarding MX sever.
The only way all of this could work is if email being sent to her government account were being forwarded to her home server and vice versa.
So someone inside the government IT apparatus would have had to configure the GOV MX servers to allow all of this.

Many erstwhile 'conservatives' have not and supported all sorts of dubious actions such as asset forfeiture, excessive fees and fines, misbehavior by prosecutors and law enforcement. Far too many have also supported warrantless searches and seizures if the magic words of criminal or terrorist are included. Now that the law enforcement and spy community are allied against us, we can see where that led us.
Dershowitz defended both the Constitution and his client in the impeachment case at considerable risk to his reputation and friends network and you cannot ask more of an attorney than that.

Part of US-Mexico Border Wall Blown Down in Rough Wind
https://tinyurl.com/rkcw2ju
Part of the U.S. Mexico border wall fell over Wednesday.
Strong winds blew down panels in Mexicali, Mexico, causing them to land on trees on the Mexican side of the border.
The area is part of an ongoing construction project to improve existing sections of the wall.
A Customs and Border Patrol agent says the sections had recently been set in concrete that hadn't yet cured. No one was hurt.
The agent says it's unclear how long it will take to fix the panels.

Here is some of what Rand said from the gateway pundit piece
My question today is about whether or not individuals who were holdovers from the Obama National Security Council and Democrat partisans conspired with Schiff staffers to plot impeaching the President before there were formal House impeachment proceedings.
My exact question was:
"Are you aware that House intelligence committee staffer Shawn Misko had a close relationship with Eric Ciaramella while at the National Security Council together and are you aware and how do you respond to reports that Ciaramella and Misko may have worked together to plot impeaching the President before there were formal house impeachment proceedings."
My question is not about a "whistleblower" as I have no independent information on his identity. My question is about the actions of known Obama partisans within the NSC and House staff and how they are reported to have conspired before impeachment proceedings had even begun.

Sure, the fastball/breaking ball thing is huge, but you still gotta hit it. Yes, batters are incredible (and the Astros had an amazing team) but its still the hardest job in sports. Its helpful, but not to the extent people are building it up to. And again, even the pitcher doesn't know exactly where that ball is going or what's gonna happen when he lets go. Even the best of the best screw up.

Sure, but they all do it. This was the main problem with letting players have a phone in the dugout. Its like the Patriots thing: if you think every other team in baseball wasn't doing this stuff, you're a sap. Its wrong to cheat but don't act like a huffy old woman clutching at pearls with ONE team and ignore the rest.

People usually bring up some of Dersh's sketchy past clients to smear him with, but I always recall an old interview with Richard "Racehorse" Haynes, one of the most famous Texas trial lawyers a few years back. Racehorse said that the key to being a Big Name Lawyer was that you had to cultivate relationships with Rich People who Get In Trouble, over and over again.
And Racehorse was right - if you don't have big, notorious clients, you'll never be a big name lawyer, no matter what else you do.

Sure, the fastball/breaking ball thing is huge, but you still gotta hit it. Yes, batters are incredible (and the Astros had an amazing team) but its still the hardest job in sports. Its helpful, but not to the extent people are building it up to. And again, even the pitcher doesn't know exactly where that ball is going or what's gonna happen when he lets go. Even the best of the best screw up.

Many erstwhile 'conservatives' have not and supported all sorts of dubious actions such as asset forfeiture, excessive fees and fines, misbehavior by prosecutors and law enforcement. Far too many have also supported warrantless searches and seizures if the magic words of criminal or terrorist are included. Now that the law enforcement and spy community are allied against us, we can see where that led us.

I cannot fathom getting around on even a 85 mph fastball, let alone a 85+. Yet, a couple of people I know who played in the minors say that knowing what pitch is coming is a huge advantage.
Heck, the late AD for the U of M Gophers, Paul Giel, had a funny story, involving Bob Uecker, natch.
Giel told a story, years ago, about playing minor league ball against Bob Uecker. Giel said he went up to the plate, and Uecker said, "fastball coming."
Giel steps out, "Say what?"
Uecker: "I don't like this guy, fastball coming."
If memory serves, the first AB, it turned out Uecker wasn't kidding, and Giel says he want on to hit something like .700 that game.
So, yeah, knowing the pitch is a huge advantage for hitters, especially if the guy is having trouble getting off-speed over.

That's a part of it, but the biggest part is wearing out. Even the home run derby, the winner usually went on to have a pretty poor next half of the season after muscling like 60 balls out of the park in about an hour. It takes tremendous effort to hit a baseball 400 feet. You get tired, and break down.

Good criminal trial attorneys also have to develop a rhinoceros hide as often the local leos, media, public, and other lawyers dump on them on a continuing basis. Most of them are loners or run small firms. Some are former ADA's etc.
Some criminal attorneys specialize in pleading guilty and relying on networks to get lighter punishment for their clients. The problem is this sort may value the continuing relationship with the DA's office more than that of the client (cough--Flynn's original firm) and that can make a threat by a defendant to go to trial problematic.

It is completely and totally routine for litigants to try to avoid service. It's nothing new. The rules are designed assuming people will do so.
Story time! Old Firm was in a state that required that service be completed by the sheriff of the county where the person being served resided. This was a way for the sheriff's office to get money because you had to pay the sheriff to do that.
Old Firm sued person. Paralegal looks up the person's address on the police report, checks the google machine to see what county the address is in, sends it to that county. Sheriff replies nope, not us. This was in a town where part of the town was in one county and part in another.
I get asked to follow up so I check with the USPS to see what county the USPS shows. USPS says county B. Off to that sheriff. Nope, not us.
Fine. Next step, check with the tax department for each county to see what county has the property listed because that should be solid proof for the sheriff.
At which point it was discovered that this address wasn't on either county tax listing.
Yeah, someone's parents had carved out a piece of property and deeded it over and somehow that got missed and the person had been living there for 20 odd years without paying any property taxes. They were not best pleased when this got brought to light.

I have no dog in that right (Cardinals fan). But catchers do not use multiple signs if no runners on base, especially if no one on second. With runners on base teams expect runners to try to steal signs and are okay with that, as that is not in violation of any written or even unwritten rules. But when you are using the CF camera either w/wo electric devices (which are explicitly against the rules then you are cheating.
As a coach I have beat a team - that otherwise thumped us twice later in that season - by stealing signs from the catcher (he failed to hide them). I have also been 10 runned by a team (using my number one pitcher) that was stealing signs (our fault as our catcher did not use multiple signs like he should have) that had never beat us, or that pitcher, before, nor since.
Hitting is timing. Pitching is disrupting timing. If you know it's a fastball vs offspeed, pitchers just lost any advantage they had.

My uncle was a trial attorney of statewide fame and dealt with a case publicized on Dateline as his final criminal case before he became a trial judge.
I have also known more than a few and they are essential to making the criminal justice system have the fairness that it does. A lot of criminal trial attorneys lean liberal but not left because they are used to fighting government misbehavior and they adamantly support constitutional rights for the accused.

I always liked that guy. I remember as a kid seeing him hit a grand slam one year and then another the next year. I didn't watch many games and that stood out to me. It might not be some special baseball record but I will always remember that.

Shithead Brown? Well, yes...yes he is. He was probably pushing drugs (or someone he knew working for him) in his office when he was Ohio Secretary of State in the 1980's.
That's what the Ohio Highway Patrol investigation thought. No charges....hmmm.

Roids don't make your eyes better, they don't help you hit. That was grossly overblown, as well.

Due to what I do, I have followed Dershowitz's career over the years.
Dershowitz is consistent on his approach to criminal constitutional law and has been over his career. One of the few principled liberals left. You might not agree with him on other social or economic issues, but on the rights of the accused, he has always been consistent.
Notice that the dishonorable left, like Schiff or Nadler will not apply what they said and did in the past all to win the present argument. They will also actively lie in the service of their cause.
Posted by: whig at January 30, 2020 04:12 PM (EUDB2)
So, yeah, knowing the pitch is a huge advantage for hitters, especially if the guy is having trouble getting off-speed over.
Oh sure, and it was a lot bigger back then. You had to go on memory and guesswork. These days they have a sleeve with what pitchers do in various counts at each point in the game, what the stadium's effects on pitches, what kind of game that catcher calls, etc. The effect is greatly reduced these days because batters know so much more.
Granted a lot of them are dumb enough they don't take enough advantage of it, like how they won't change their stance slightly to take advantage of the shift, but still, the info is out there.

yep, and it happens on every level. For instance where I am, in East Texas, I can see this happening on the city and county level every day. Some people get probation, some people get jail, depending mostly on if they picked the right person to work the network.
I know of a man who was offered 2 years probation, wouldn't take it because he said he was innocent, and he ended up with 15 years in the state pen mainly because he pissed off his attorney who had negotiated it. So the attorney sandbagged his case when it went to trial, just out of spite. AND then he would slyly mention it to future clients, if they ever thought about not taking his advice. (one of which told me the tale)

Yeah, county and cities screw this up a lot - I got a notice from the city code inspector about 5 years ago that a piece of what they thought was my property was not being kept up - when I went to city hall to fight it, it turned out it was actually the city's property and I had been charged property taxes erroneously for the last 20 years on this small piece of "public" land...so, thanks for citing me and then having to reimburse me, City Dumbasses!

I met a group of folks from the Texas Bar Association at a conference and their presentation was over the (at the time) the bizarre results on the appointed counsel system for defendants.
Those that contributed to the local judge's reelection campaigns were given day long at the most DUI cases. Those that did not, were appointed to represent defendants in death penalty cases taking weeks for about $300 or so if my memory serves me.
We had a similar system in our state where one appointed public defender did over 750 pleas and only took one of his cases to trial. The guy made his money by getting volume instead of quality.
