She has definitely gotten around…

Renewed hope for Regulation A came unexpectedly following a changing of the guard at the SEC Chair level – from Mary Jo Shapiro to Mary Jo White. On December 18, 2013, the Commission approved the issuance of proposed rules intended to implement what was informally christened as “Regulation A+.” Perhaps more surprisingly than the issuance of the proposed rules itself was the SEC’s pronouncement that all investors would be deemed “qualified investors” for purposes of the new and improved Regulation A+.

‘A great deal of confusion and uncertainty’: Trump coronavirus adviser infighting breaks into open

White House Coronavirus Task Force advisers are openly disagreeing with each other, sending mixed messages about the pandemic. Both Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, and Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in recent days, have criticized Dr. Scott Atlas, a conservative neuroradiologist from Stanford who has become the top adviser to President Trump on the coronavirus. "Everything he says is false," Redfield said about Atlas during a phone call made in public on a commercial flight and overheard by NBC News. Redfield’s comment came after Atlas accused him of “misstating” the facts about the coronavirus.

Fauci, meanwhile, told CNN’s Brian Stelter Monday that “most [members of the task force] are working together. I think you know who the outlier is,” referring to Atlas. Atlas spends “much more” time with Trump than any other health expert working in the White House, Fauci told Peter Staley, an HIV/AIDS activist, in an Instagram interview. When asked if he has ever been in a situation where the president’s closest adviser on an epidemic is not an expert in infectious diseases, Fauci said, “This is a unique situation.” Atlas joined the White House after pushing in media appearances to focus on reopening businesses and schools, a message more in line with Trump’s instincts than the public health-oriented guidance from Fauci and Redfield. Atlas has accused Fauci and Redfield of fearmongering and misleading the public about the severity of the pandemic. Atlas, who does not have a background in epidemiology, has been a fixture at Trump’s White House briefings, while Fauci and task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx have not appeared with Trump in months. “Traditionally, there is a very well-established protocol for how to communicate around public health emergencies,” said Dr. Matthew Seeger, a crisis communications expert from Wayne State University. “That role has been taken over by the president himself, and that has created a great deal of confusion and uncertainty around this particular circumstance.”

When Atlas joined the task force in August, he told the Washington Examiner that he was not there “to replace anyone,” but rather, “I'm here to work with everyone.” He has since openly clashed with experts on the task force such as Fauci and Redfield. The infighting and muddled messaging from the White House will prolong the public health emergency, Seeger told the Washington Examiner. Inconsistencies allow people to interpret guidance the way that they want, creating “variabilities in behavior, which increase vulnerability.” “Consistent messages from subject matter experts are critical to effective communication around this, these issues, and effective response, and we have inconsistent messages,” Seeger said. “He is not a subject matter expert in this area and, therefore, does not have the kind of credibility that others have.” Coronavirus cases are rising by 10% or more compared with a week ago in 21 states. An analysis of Johns Hopkins data by CNN finds that cases are increasing in Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington state, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. In 11 states, cases are declining, and, in 18, they are holding steady.

The current rate of increase suggests that a new wave may be forming. "We really don’t know yet," Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director at the American Public Health Association, told the Washington Examiner recently. "What we do know for sure is that we are going to have these peaks and episodic outbreaks." After months of low infection rates, New York reported a spike in new cases Monday. For the first time since early June, more than 1,000 people tested positive for the coronavirus on a single day in New York. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that "of the 99,553 tests reported [Friday], 1,005 were positive." He added that hospitalizations for the coronavirus stood at 527 and that four people died from complications with the virus.

Showtime’s The Comey Rule badly distorts Crossfire Hurricane investigation

Showtime’s miniseries The Comey Rule, based on James Comey’s A Higher Loyalty memoir, plays loose with the facts, botches key timelines, and fabricates nefarious conversations as it tells the fired FBI director's version of how the Trump-Russia saga began. The two-part drama, with an episode which aired Sunday and another on Monday, featuring Dumb and Dumber’s Jeff Daniels as Comey and Brendan Gleeson as President Trump, is filled with a host of errors that distort what really happened as the Russians sought to meddle in the 2016 election and as the FBI launched an investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion.

Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn The show depicts a sinister (and fabricated) meeting inside a Russian palace between Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Putin chief of staff Sergei Ivanov in Moscow in December 2015 prior to a Russia Today gala that Flynn attended. Ivanov introduces Flynn and Putin, with Flynn saying, “I very much appreciate the invitation, Mr. President, and the courtesy of this visit.” Ivanov tells Putin that “Gen. Flynn serves as an adviser to the campaign of Donald Trump.” Putin replies that Trump is “a colorful and talented man,” and Flynn agrees, then telling Putin: "I understand you’re not a fan of our current president, Mr. Obama” and laughs, adding, “neither am I.” Putin laughs too. Ivanov then tells Flynn that he will be sitting with future Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein at the gala. Flynn says, “Well, I guess that pretty much sums up how you folks feel about Secretary Clinton.” Putin and Flynn then walk to the gala together. There is no evidence this conversation ever occurred, and at that time, Flynn was not even a member of Trump’s campaign, which he did not join until February 2016. Flynn did attend the RT gala in 2015, but Flynn has insisted that he and Putin merely exchanged a few pleasantries at their table and nothing more. Records released by House Democrats in 2017 indicate Flynn was paid $33,750 plus expenses by RT. Flynn wrote in a December 2015 email that “I had an interesting trip to Moscow (I did meet with Putin),” according to House Oversight records released in 2019. Flynn’s lawyer, Sidney Powell, said last year: “Special counsel investigated all of this. There's nothing there. It's just renewed efforts by the Democrats to smear a great man. Please also recall that he was briefed and debriefed by DIA before and after his trip.”

The DNC Hack and John Podesta’s Emails An alleged conversation between Comey and now-fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe muddles the timeline related to the Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. In a scene that appears to be at the FBI sometime in March 2016, McCabe tells Comey: “There’s been a cyberbreach of the Democratic National Committee. Looks like the hack went all the way up to Podesta … The malware led us to a string of code we’ve seen before emanating from Russia.” Robert Mueller’s special counsel report states that Russian military intelligence began targeting the Clinton campaign with spearphishing emails in March 2016, including a successful spearphishing operation against Podesta. But the FBI would not be informed of those until many weeks later. The cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike publicly accused Russia of hacking the DNC in June 2016, WikiLeaks published tens of thousands of emails on July 22, 2016, and the FBI announced an investigation on July 25, 2016.

George Papadopoulos The next scene jumps to Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos and Australian diplomat Alexander Downer talking in a bar, with the show saying this was “Eight Months Before Election Day,” meaning March 2016, but Papadopolous and Downer had their infamous Kensington Wine Rooms conversation in May 2016, not March 2016. The show depicts FBI counterintelligence official Bill Priestap making the same mistake during an August FBI briefing, claiming that “we just learned that in March [2016], Papadopoulos told an Australian diplomat that the Russian government had dirt in the form of emails on Secretary Clinton and had offered it to the Trump team.” In reality, Papadopoulos had conversations with mysterious Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud, whom the Trump campaign adviser claimed told him the Russians had damaging information on Clinton in April 2016 and spoke with Downer the next month. Papadopoulos pleaded guilty in 2017 to making false statements about his communications with Mifsud.

Haiti: 15 children killed in fire at unlicensed orphanage

14 February

Fifteen children have died in Haiti after a fire swept through an orphanage on the outskirts of the capital. The cause of the fire was being investigated, but reports citing staff and children said candles were being used instead of electricity. The orphanage, run by a US-based Christian group, was one of hundreds in Haiti operating without official authorisation. Authorities are now working to support and re-house the surviving children. Arielle Jeanty Villedrouin, director of the Institute for Social Welfare, said that, at the time of the fire, about 60 children were living in the unlicensed orphanage, operated by the Pennsylvania-based Church of Bible Understanding. "We are going to place them [the survivors] in a transit centre while we do research on their family and see if we can reunite them with their parents," she told Reuters news agency.

The fire at the orphanage, located south of the capital Port-au-Prince, began on Thursday evening. Officials said two children were killed in the blaze and 13 others died at hospital as a result of smoke inhalation. Candles had been lit on the night of the fire because the building's generator was broken, according to reports. Local judge Raymonde Jean Antoine told AFP news agency the orphanage had not been authorised to operate since 2013. She said it did not meet basic standards, describing the living conditions there as "truly, truly neglected". "All we see are children living like animals," she said, adding that there were no fire extinguishers.

On its website, the Church of Bible Understanding says it opened its first orphanage in Haiti 40 years ago. The organisation said its "primary goal" was to "spread the Gospel to any and all who will receive it". It has not yet commented on the fire. Some 30,000 children live in more than 760 orphanages in Haiti, of which 15% are officially registered, according to the charity Lumos, which was founded by author JK Rowling and seeks to end the institutionalisation of children. An estimated 80% of the children living in Haiti's orphanages have at least one living parent. Orphanages proliferated in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. Poverty and a lack of access to healthcare and education are among the reasons that children with living parents end up being housed in them.
