    Officials Say Flynn Discussed Sanctions

    Officials say Flynn discussed sanctions The Washington Post February 10, 2017 Friday, Met 2 Edition Copyright 2017 The Washington Post All Rights Reserved Distribution: Every Zone Section: A-SECTION; Pg. A08 Length: 1971 words Byline: Greg Miller;Adam Entous;Ellen Nakashima Body Talks with Russia envoy said to have occurred before Trump took office National security adviser Michael Flynn privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country's ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, contrary to public assertions by Trump officials, current and former U.S. officials said. Flynn's communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election. Flynn on Wednesday denied that he had discussed sanctions with Kislyak. Asked in an interview whether he had ever done so, he twice said, "No." On Thursday, Flynn, through his spokesman, backed away from the denial. The spokesman said Flynn "indicated that while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn't be certain that the topic never came up." Officials said this week that the FBI is continuing to examine Flynn's communications with Kislyak. Several officials emphasized that while sanctions were discussed, they did not see evidence that Flynn had an intent to convey an explicit promise to take action after the inauguration. Flynn's contacts with the ambassador attracted attention within the Obama administration because of the timing.

    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA BRIAN J. KAREM, : : Plaintiff, : Civil Action No.: 19-2514 : v. : Re Document No.: 2 : DONALD J. TRUMP and : STEPHANIE A. GRISHAM, : : Defendants. : MEMORANDUM OPINION GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION I. INTRODUCTION For decades, and across many presidential administrations, the White House has made long-term press passes available to any Washington-based journalist who regularly covers the President and can clear a Secret Service background check. In light of that decision to make White House press facilities widely accessible, the D.C. Circuit has held that reporters have a First Amendment liberty interest in possessing a long-term so-called “hard pass”—an interest that, under the Fifth Amendment, may not be deprived without due process. See Sherrill v. Knight, 569 F.2d 124 (D.C. Cir. 1977). This case involves an alleged violation of that due process right. Plaintiff Brian Karem, a White House correspondent for Playboy magazine, claims that White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham unlawfully suspended his hard pass as a punishment following his involvement in a brief verbal altercation in the Rose Garden that was captured on video and shared widely on the internet. As the Court will explain below, Karem has, at this early stage of the proceedings, shown that he is likely to succeed on this due process claim, because the present record indicates that Grisham failed to provide fair notice of the fact that a hard pass could be suspended under these circumstances. Meanwhile, Karem has shown that even the temporary suspension of his pass inflicts irreparable harm on his First Amendment rights.

    We Built It, Now Will They Come?

    OCTOBER / 2016 ISSUE 41 WE BUILT IT, NOW WILL THEY COME? ast issue, we featured a story detailing what our community went through to build our baseball dome. We left off with the Florida LSuncoast Dome’s grand opening on February 28, 1990, but it had no baseball team to call it home. With no promise of getting one, it soon became apparent building the multi-million dollar building would be easier than getting a team. In 1987, while the stadium was still under construction, the area had come close to convincing the Chicago White Sox to relocate. The Florida Legislature approved a $30-million funding package to assist in outfitting the Florida Suncoast Dome and to help lure them to St. Petersburg. But at the last minute, the team announced they would stay in Chicago. Once open, even without a baseball team, the new dome would not sit idle. The first promoted event was the AAU’s Junior Olympics held July 28, 1990. Over 5,000 young athletes participated. In November, the dome hosted the Davis Cup Tennis Finals. Many concerts were also hosted inside the Suncoast Dome during that time. More major events needed to be booked or there would be no revenue. While, there was room for football and basketball games, ice shows, concerts and even trade shows, the building was built for baseball. In the context of domed ballparks, the Florida Suncoast Dome was considered “nice enough”, but still had no AstroTurf, center-field scoreboard or sky boxes. A year after it opened, in May of 1991, The Florida Suncoast Dome got a real sports team, The Tampa Bay Storm the arena football team.
