    FROM FEAR TO FREEDOM: THE INCLUSION AND RIGHTS OF FEMALE VICTIMS OF CONFLICT IN PEACE NEGOTIATIONS AND AGREEMENTS VERONICA J. SCHILB* After more than 50 years of internal conflict, a young, Western Colombian woman reflected on the nature of freedom as her country was finally on the brink of peace.1 Yolanda Perea Mosquera recalled riding through the Colombian countryside on her horse as a child, an experience that she now perceives as embodying freedom.2 In contrast to that freedom, Mosquera has also faced complete terror as a result of Colombia’s civil war.3 When she was just an 11-year old girl, a masked guerilla fighter broke into Mosquera’s home and raped her.4 Shortly after, Mosquera suffered from a miscarriage, not knowing she had even been pregnant.5 Mosquera’s mother then reported the assault of her daughter, which resulted in retribution against her.6 Mosquera was called a liar, and guerilla fighters came to her home.7 In her last words to her daughter, Mosquera’s mother instructed her to take care of her brothers.8 Then, the guerilla fighters shot her.9 Mosquera yearned for revenge, like many victims of Colombia’s war.10 She pondered and plotted ways to get that revenge on her abusers, but she eventually realized that she could not go through with them.11 Instead, Mosquera and others like her are left to hope that the government will acknowledge the crimes against them and implement some level of justice.12 Although the likelihood of punishment and justice for the specific crime committed against Mosquera is slim, an encounter * J.D.

  • Trump Lawyer Seeks to Block Insider Book on White House
    The Washington Post Politics Trump lawyer seeks to block insider book on White House By Josh Dawsey and Ashley Parker January 4 at 9:30 AM A lawyer representing President Trump sought Thursday to stop the publication of a new behind-the-scenes book about the White House that has already led Trump to angrily decry his former chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon. The legal notice — addressed to author Michael Wolff and the president of the book’s publisher — said Trump’s lawyers were pursuing possible charges including libel in connection with the forthcoming book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.” The letter by Beverly Hills-based attorney Charles J. Harder demanded the publisher, Henry Holt and Co., “immediately cease and desist from any further publication, release or dissemination of the book” or excerpts and summaries of its contents. The lawyers also seek a full copy of the book as part of their investigation. The latest twist in the showdown came after lawyers accused Bannon of breaching a confidentiality agreement and Trump denounced his former aide as a self-aggrandizing political charlatan who has “lost his mind.” It marked an abrupt and furious rupture with the onetime confidant that could have lasting political impact on the November midterms and beyond. The White House’s sharp public break with Bannon, which came in response to unflattering comments he made about Trump and his family in a new book about his presidency, left the self-fashioned populist alienated from his chief patron and even more isolated in his attempts to remake the Republican Party by backing insurgent candidates.

  • Lindsay Walters
    August 2, 2018 The Honorable Henry Kerner Special Counsel Office of Special Counsel 1730 M Street, N.W. Suite 218 Washington, D.C. 20036-4505 Re: Violation of the Hatch Act by Lindsay Walters Dear Mr. Kerner: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (“CREW”) respectfully requests that the Office of Special Counsel (“OSC”) investigate whether Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Press Secretary Lindsay Walters violated the Hatch Act by using her official social media account to retweet a message using the term “Great again” that invoked the president’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” and promoted his campaign. This action was directed toward the success or failure of Donald J. Trump, a candidate in a partisan race. By tweeting this post on a Twitter account referring to her official position, Ms. Walters likely engaged in political activity prohibited by law. Factual Background Ms. Walters was appointed Deputy White House Press Secretary in January 2017.1 She had previously served as Press Secretary for the Republican National Committee. 2 As Deputy Press Secretary, Ms. Walters serves as an advisor to Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and she frequently leads press gaggles aboard Air Force One.3 Shortly after being named White House Deputy Press Secretary, Ms. Walters began using the official Twitter handle @LWalters45.4 @LWalters45 Twitter Account There is little doubt that the @LWalters45 Twitter account is used by Ms. Walters for official government purposes. According to her Twitter page, the handle was created in January 2017 when she joined the Trump Administration.5 The account profile states that Ms.

    International FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 2014 Hillary book sales top 100,000 in first week NEW YORK: Hillary Rodham Clinton’s “Hard Choices” sold more than 100,000 copies during its opening week, its publisher told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “We’re elated,” said Simon & Schuster’s president and publisher, Jonathan Karp, who declined to offer a more specific sales figure. “This book is on a trajectory to be the best-selling nonfiction book of the year.” “Hard Choices” sold well enough to earn the covet- ed No. 1 spot on the nonfiction hardcover list of The New York Times that comes out June 29. But its debut was also far slower than that for her previous memoir, “Living History,” which sold around 600,000 copies dur- ing its first week. One likely difference: “Living History,” published in 2003, included her first extended com- ments on the affair between President Bill Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Anticipation for “Hard Choices,” which covers her four years as secretary of state, focused more on whether it would include any hints that she was running for president. “Hard CAMBRIDGE: HiIlary Rodham Clinton holds a copy of her new book “Hard Choices,” at the start of a Choices,” which also included little about her con- book signing at Harvard Book Store in Cambridge, Mass. — AP tentious primary campaign against Barack Obama in 2008, ends with Clinton saying she is still undecided Bush.

Since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision in 2010 paved the way for the super PAC era, there has been a proliferation of corporate super PAC donors — including scores of opaque and obscure companies that allow the people behind them to remain hidden. Such secretive entities provide especially ideal cover for foreigners wishing to evade the existing prohibition on their involvement in U.S. elections. A new Issue One analysis shows why this loophole needs to be closed.

  • The Case of Donald J. Trump†
    THE AGE OF THE WINNING EXECUTIVE: THE CASE OF DONALD J. TRUMP† Saikrishna Bangalore Prakash∗ INTRODUCTION The election of Donald J. Trump, although foretold by Matt Groening’s The Simpsons,1 was a surprise to many.2 But the shock, disbelief, and horror were especially acute for the intelligentsia. They were told, guaranteed really, that there was no way for Trump to win. Yet he prevailed, pulling off what poker aficionados might call a back- door draw in the Electoral College. Since his victory, the reverberations, commotions, and uproars have never ended. Some of these were Trump’s own doing and some were hyped-up controversies. We have endured so many bombshells and pur- ported bombshells that most of us are numb. As one crisis or scandal sputters to a pathetic end, the next has already commenced. There has been too much fear, rage, fire, and fury, rendering it impossible for many to make sense of it all. Some Americans sensibly tuned out, missing the breathless nightly reports of how the latest scandal would doom Trump or why his tormentors would soon get their comeuppance. Nonetheless, our reality TV President is ratings gold for our political talk shows. In his Foreword, Professor Michael Klarman, one of America’s fore- most legal historians, speaks of a degrading democracy.3 Many difficulties plague our nation: racial and class divisions, a spiraling debt, runaway entitlements, forever wars, and, of course, the coronavirus. Like many others, I do not regard our democracy as especially debased.4 Or put an- other way, we have long had less than a thoroughgoing democracy, in part ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– † Responding to Michael J.
