Looking to 2020, Kamala Harris Hires Heavy Hitter Lawyer Involved With Russian Dossier

Eyebrows were raised among Democratic officials and activists Monday when Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) announced her 2020 presidential nomination bid and listed Marc Elias as her campaign’s general counsel.

Elias, head of the Perkins Coie LLP law firm’s political law practice, is among the Democratic Party’s top campaign finance experts and a recognized power-player at the highest levels.

Described on background by a veteran Democratic national campaign consultant as “the best in the business,” Elias could prove to be both an immensely valuable asset to Harris—and also a huge problem.

On the plus side, Elias gives Harris’s Democratic presidential primary campaign one of the most well-connected operatives in American politics and a significant boost early in what promises to be a heavily populated, intensely competitive primary field.

Elias and his firm currently represent every major Democratic Party committee, including the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Democratic Governors Association, and numerous individual senators and representatives.

He was also the chief attorney for former Secretary of State John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign against President George W. Bush and for the White House bid of another former chief U.S. diplomat, Hillary Clinton, in 2016.

Elias represented former Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) in the sharply contested 2008 recount battle, and he has extensive litigation experience in voting rights and redistricting cases across the country. He also represented former Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) in his losing 2018 recount battle.

As a result, Elias knows everybody who is anybody in Democratic campaigns, including donors, consultants, good guys to know and opportunists to avoid at all cost.

Given the California junior senator’s lack of experience in national politics—barely two years as she was first elected to the Senate in 2016—having Elias at hand will help her avoid costly rookie mistakes in fund raising and to open influential doors ahead of rivals like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)

Supreme Court agrees to hear 2nd Amendment case for first time in nearly 10 years

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to review a Second Amendment case for the first time in nearly 10 years, according to SCOTUS blog.

The case involves a New York City law that bans gun owners from transporting their licensed and unloaded guns outside the city limits, including to a second home or a shooting range for target practice.

Lawyers for a group of New York City residents and the New York State Pistol and Rifle Association filed an appeal to the Supreme Court. In court documents, the restrictions for a premises license is described as "draconian" and in violation of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

The group filed a lawsuit in 2013 that challenged the city's transport limits. Last year, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected the challenge and upheld the regulations. It ruled that the restrictions advanced New York City's interest in protecting public safety, Reuters reported.

What is a premises license?

A premises license is a restricted type of license that is issued for an individual's residence or business.

"The licensee may possess a handgun only on the premises of the address indicated on the front of the license," according to the city's ordinance. "Licensees may also transport their handguns and ammunition in separate locked containers, directly to and from an authorized range or hunting location."

When will the case be heard?

The Supreme Court will hear arguments in the fall, and an opinion likely won't come until spring 2020, SCOTUS blog said.

"The justices' eventual ruling in the case could stick to the relatively narrow question of whether the city's law is constitutional, or it might shed light on a broader and more consequential question: whether the right to have a gun extends outside the home," according to the blog post.

What else?

The Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that the Second Amendment protects a person's right to possess a handgun at home for self-defense.

In 2010, the justices "made clear that this right also applies against state and local governments," the blog post said.

"Since then the Supreme Court has repeatedly declined to say anything more about how far states and cities can go in restricting gun rights, but today it granted a plea to weigh in, this time in a case from New York City," the post said.

Problem Reaction Solution - The Hegelian Dialectic

BLACKMAIL: Disgraced FBI Officials Threaten to Release Weiner’s Laptop Evidence, Exposing Clinton’s if Indicted

High-ranking FBI officials believe disgraced and fired FBI leaders are using the evidence from Anthony Weiner’s laptop to stay out of prison.

That means copies of Weiner’s hard drive — which contain damaging evidence against Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin — are floating around Washington, D.C. and who knows where else.

The ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card: damaging dirt on the Clinton’s. And Blackmail and extortion used by the leaders of the once-great law enforcement agency. A new low.

Weiner is in a federal prison as a result of the files on his laptop and cell phone, after engaging in phone sex with a minor. He got off lucky, dodging child porn charges for a lighter sentence. But that is only the tip of the iceberg of what was found by the FBI on Weiner’s laptop.

“No one from the FBI is going to prison because they are using evidence as leverage,” one high-ranking FBI official said. “Don’t hold your breath if you want to see these people in handcuffs.”

But isn’t stealing federal evidence a crime in itself?

“They tampered with hundreds of cases,” another FBI insider said. “This is how they played the game. This was standard procedure. These same people ruined the FBI for their personal careers.

“They ran their own private CIA and continue to do it now from the outside.”

FBI officials believe members of Congress — both Democrats and Republicans — are too implicated in the missing federal evidence trove which contains hundreds of thousands of emails, photos, videos and records of offshore banking.

The dirt that could drain The Swamp overnight. Little wonder Congress has done nothing to reign in the wayward FBI or indict its criminals.

Why would FBI Director Christopher Wray — who was hired to reform the corrupt agency — tolerate this?

He is likely part of the problem.

This story is developing.

Integrity Initiative wipes website pending probe into ‘theft’ of disturbing leaked data

The British state-funded Integrity Initiative, exposed last year for conducting Europe-wide political influence campaigns in leaked files, has removed all of its website content “pending an investigation” into the data “theft.”

A group claiming association with the loose hacktivist collective Anonymous has been dumping private Integrity Initiative documents online in various batches since November. The leaks revealed that the Scotland-based, government-funded organization, which bills itself as a non-partisan disinformation-busting charity, was actually using “clusters” of journalists, politicians, and academics to carry out secret anti-Russia campaigns, interfere in domestic politics across Europe and smear anyone who questioned its narratives.

The realisation has only really just struck me hard that the people who have been most vocal in making totally false claims that I am in any way paid by Russia, were themselves being secretly paid to make those claims by my former employer, the FCO, via the Integrity Initiative.

— Craig Murray (@CraigMurrayOrg) January 22, 2019

In a surprise move on Monday, the Integrity Initiative abruptly announced on Twitter that it had “temporarily removed” all content from its site “pending an investigation into the theft of data” from the Institute of Statecraft, the II’s London-based parent operation.

We've temporarily removed all content from our website, pending an investigation into the theft of data from the Institute for Statecraft and the Integrity Initiative. The website will be relaunched shortly. https://t.co/aS5fnnmffV

— Integrity Initiative (@InitIntegrity) January 21, 2019

In a statement posted on its now mostly bare website, the II claimed the leaks were "part of a campaign to undermine the work" of the Initiative which it said involved “researching, publicising and countering the threat” Europe faces in the in the form of “disinformation” and “hybrid warfare” – ironically, exactly what the shady organization itself was accused of engaging in with its hefty government paycheck.

It remains an open question if, in an effort to save face, the group would accuse Russia of being behind the leaks and even of doctoring the documents. While the statement admitted that some of the leaks were “genuine,” it claimed others were “falsified” – but did not provide any evidence to back up that claim. It is, however, apparent that Russia has been the Initiative’s main target during the course of its questionable work.

The website will be “relaunched shortly” and “analysis” of the hack and its “significance” will be published soon, the statement said. It doesn’t look as though many will be awaiting that analysis with bated breath, however.

Perhaps discouraging for the Integrity Initiative, few seemed upset to see their content disappear. Most responses to the announcement tweet are of the trolling variety, accusing the organization of simply being caught in the act and trying to clean house.

New York Assembly Will Vote Tuesday on Bill to Legalize Abortion Up to Birth

It is time to stand and be counted, each and every one, to protect the unborn, their mothers, and society from a horrible bill intended to erase any and all protection for Life. Please forward this Alert to your pro-life lists, friends, churches and family.

The pro-abortion industry wants a vote on RHA [Reproductive Health Act] and two other abortion-related bills next Tuesday, January 22. We can stop this if we act. If you can come to the Capitol Jan 22, please contact our office at 518-434-1293 or admin@nysrighttolife.org for more information.

Oppose the “Reproductive Health Act” S.240 (Krueger)/A.21 (Glick)

Gov. Cuomo, the Assembly, and new Democrat-led state Senate have vowed to pass RHA on the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, Tuesday, January 22, 2019.

RHA is not about “codifying Roe,” but about expanding abortion past 24 weeks, when a child is already clearly viable and capable of pain and suffering. Every state has the right to protect viable children under Roe and should. New York’s 24- weeks’ law should remain on the books as is and not be repealed.

RHA would establish abortion as a “fundamental right” opening the door to restrict efforts by pro-lifers, mandate that everyone take part in the culture of death, and prohibit any limits on abortion. Roe v. Wade did not make abortion a fundamental right.

RHA would allow any health care practitioner to perform an abortion as long as they act in “good faith” (rather than an objective medical standard of care), opening the door broadly for abuse. This is an absurd change to New York law, if one cares about women and children.

RHA would repeal protections against illegal abortion, such as criminal acts of violence against a pregnant mother and her child, or self-proclaimed providers operating at will.

RHA would repeal protection in NY law for a born-alive infant, authorizing infanticide. Current requirement in New York law for a second physician on hand to care for a child 20 weeks or older born alive during the course of an abortion would be repealed.

All of these changes and more go against the conscience of New Yorkers, which is why RHA’s promoters misrepresent what the bill actually does. RHA is not pro-woman, it’s pro-abortion industry so the industry can operate out of total disregard for human life or the law. The public at large does not favor the changes this bill would cause.

Contact your state legislators to stand against this destructive bill.

Blood sacrifice, these people are satanists

McConnell blocks bill to temporarily reopen DHS

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blocked a House-passed bill to temporarily reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with the partial shutdown in its 32nd day.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) tried to take up the House bill, which would fund the department through Feb. 8.

McConnell, however, objected. Under Senate rules any one member can try to pass a bill, but any one member can also block that request.

McConnell has said for weeks that he won’t take up the House legislation, arguing it would be a “show” vote because President Trump won’t sign the bill.

Instead, the GOP leader is expected to hold a procedural vote on Thursday that would trade $5.7 billion for wall funding in exchange for a three-year extension of legal protections for some immigrants.

"The opportunity to end all this is staring us right in the face. That's why we'll vote on this legislation on the Senate floor this week. All that needs to happen is for our Democratic colleagues to agree that it's time to put the country ahead of politics, take yes for an answer and vote to put this standoff behind us," McConnell said from the Senate floor earlier on Tuesday.

But the president’s proposal is not expected to get the 60 votes needed to pass the Senate, much less be approved by the House where Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has called it a “non-starter.”

McConnell said as recently as last week that in order to get a Senate vote a bill would need to have both the backing of Democrats and Trump.

It's the fourth time McConnell has blocked the House's DHS bill. He's also blocked legislation three times that would reopen the department and agencies, besides DHS, that are currently shuttered because of the partial shutdown and fund them through Sept. 30.

The partial government shutdown, currently in its 32nd day, has forced roughly a quarter of the government to close and approximately 800,000 federal employees to be furloughed or work without pay.

Democrats are trying to build pressure on the Senate GOP leader, who has stuck closely to the president in the funding fight.

Kaine, whose state has a large swatch of federal employees, talked on Tuesday about the impact the partial shutdown is having on the Coast Guard.

"Every other branch of the military is currently funded," Kaine said. "The DHS, however, is not funded. So the Coast Guard is the one military branch that's not being paid."
