  • All the President's Henchmen
    5/8/2020 Opinion | All the President’s Henchmen - The New York Times https://nyti.ms/2pa9Ci7 All the President’s Henchmen Mr. Trump has assembled a colorful cast of characters who are having trouble keeping their stories straight. By Michelle Cottle Ms. Cottle is a member of the editorial board. Oct. 11, 2019 It has often been noted that President Trump holds a vision of his job more befitting a Latin American caudillo than the leader of the world’s oldest democracy. His geopolitical idols trend toward the autocratic — Kim Jong-un, Rodrigo Duterte, Mohammed bin Salman, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Vladimir Putin. He suffers delusions of grandeur, proclaiming himself “the Chosen One” and having “great and unmatched wisdom.” He accuses those who challenge him of treason, and he regularly wipes his feet on the constitutional principle of checks and balances. Witness the over-the-top letter his White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, sent House Democrats this week, the gist of which was: Your impeachment investigation is illegitimate, and we will not participate. As if this were the president’s prerogative. Legal experts mostly dismissed the letter as a political stunt. Gregg Nunziata, a former counsel to Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, called it “bananas.” Walter Shaub, who resigned as head of the Office of Government Ethics in 2017 over the administration’s glaring lack of ethics, said that it “mistakes Trump for a king.” Fortunately, Mr. Trump’s dreams of dominance tend to bump up against the hard realities of incompetence — his and that of his cronies. It has long been apparent that the president has a peculiar eye for talent.

As we gather to identify and understand crime related issues affecting the black community, we do so with a fi rm and steadfast responsibility to the conference’s mission of promoting positive solutions to overcome and eliminate these problems. We are pleased to bring the conference back to the Jacksonville area, and appreciate the support of Sheriff John Rutherford and his staff in this endeavor. Sheriff Rutherford has teamed up with my staff, cosponsors and several long time and dedicated partners for what promises to be both an educational and enjoyable week. It continues to be among my top priorities to educate Floridians about black-on-black crime, as well as other important concerns such as human traffi cking, protecting Floridians from synthetic drugs, and to search out and prosecute those who victimize our most vulnerable citizens, especially our children. We are pleased to be able to highlight several of these concerns at this year’s conference.

  • Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions and 187 Last-Minute Appointments
    Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions And 187 Last-Minute Appointments SUMMARY: Following the outgoing administration’s “quiet push to salt federal agencies with Trump loyalists,” an Accountable.US review has found that, as of February 22, 2021, at least 24 Trump administration political appointees have “burrowed” into long-term civil service jobs in the new Biden administration. This includes at least four figures in the national security apparatus, nine figures with environmental regulators, three figures in the Department of Justice, two figures in the embattled Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and at least six other appointees elsewhere who have refused to step down in the transition. Burrowing of this sort is not treated lightly, as officials who transfer from political appointments to career positions must undergo scrutiny by federal personnel overseers for a full five years—and some of these cases have been found to violate federal laws and have drawn congressional scrutiny. However, there is a much wider slate of concerning Trump administration appointments that are not subject to such strict oversight: During the Trump administration’s waning days following the 2020 election, it announced 187 last-minute appointments to various boards, commissions, and councils that don’t require Senate confirmation. While some of these appointments have already drawn alarm for going to campaign staffers, megadonors, and top administration allies, Accountable.US has unearthed even more troubling names in Trump’s outgoing deluge. Similar to how early Trump administration personnel picks were directly conflicted against the offices they served, many of these late Trump appointments are woefully underqualified or have histories directly at odds with the positions to which they were named—and they are likely to stay in long into the Biden administration.

  • Russia's Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016
    Additional Questions for the Record of Senator Patrick Leahy Senate Judiciary Committee, Hearing on the Nomination of Senator Jeff Sessions to Serve as Attorney General of the United States January 25, 2017 Many answers to my written questions were non-responsive. While some answers quoted statutes and cases to support your position (e.g. Questions 4b, 11a, 15, 19a), in other responses you professed a complete lack of knowledge, even on topics that have dominated the news in recent months. You acknowledged in one response that you believe a statute is constitutional, but in others you refused even to say whether you considered a law to be “reasonably defensible.” When responding to these follow up questions, please review any necessary materials to provide substantive answers to my questions. I also was troubled by your responses to questions 8 and 22, in which you consistently did not answer the question directly and stated that you had “no knowledge of whether [an individual] actually said [remarks relevant to the question] or in what context.” Yet you omitted in your response footnotes that I included, which provided the relevant source material. I am re-asking those questions here and, for your convenience, I am appending these source materials to this document. Questions 8 and 22 8. In 2014, you accepted the “Daring the Odds” award from the David Horowitz Freedom Center. The Southern Poverty Law Center has repeatedly called David Horowitz an “anti- Muslim extremist” and has an extensive and detailed profile of Mr. Horowitz’s racist and repugnant remarks against Muslims, Arabs, and African-Americans.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Mulvaney: I am writing to request an explanation for why the White House has failed to answer the questions raised in a letter I sent more than three months ago seeking information about troubling reports that President Donald Trump may have violated the Presidential Records Act by confiscating and destroying documents to keep secret the details of his meetings with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin. I sent this letter on February 21, 2019, with Rep. Eliot Engel, the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and Rep. Adam Schiff, the Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and we requested answers to five specific questions by March 1, 2019. Our letter did not request copies of these documents, but instead sought information about their possession, custody, and control in compliance with federal law. 1 As we wrote in our letter, the Presidential Records Act makes clear that presidential records belong to the American people and that President Trump is required to preserve those records: Through the implementation of records management controls and other necessary actions, the President shall take all such steps as may be necessary to assure that the activities, deliberations, decisions, and policies that reflect the performance of the President's constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties are adequately documented and that such records are preserved and maintained as Presidential records pursuant to the requirements of this section and other provisions oflaw.2 1 Letter from Chairman Elijah E.
