Former CIA deputy director David S. Cohen appeared in “Game of Thrones” Sunday night in the second episode of the final season.
The CIA’s official Twitter account tweeted out a photo of Cohen in Winterfell with a bowl of food and captioned it, “A perk of working for CIA is world travel. Apparently that sometimes extends to other realms … ‘Little birds,’ be on the lookout for a former deputy director of ours wandering through #Westeros in tonight’s episode of #GameOfThrones.”

Michael Avenatti Accused of Embezzling $2.5 Million from NBA Player
Michael Avenatti has been accused of embezzling $2.5 million from a negotiated payment Miami Heat player Hassan Whiteside thought he was making to his former girlfriend, Alexis Gardner, according to prosecutors.
Avenatti was supposed to be acting as Gardner’s attorney and had negotiated a three-million dollar deal with the NBA player to settle what promised to be an embarrassing lawsuit against Whiteside, the Los Angeles Times reported.
According to records, Whiteside paid $2.75 million for a first installment of which Avenatti was supposed to receive $1 million for his fee.
But prosecutors now say that Avenatti took $2.5 million from the payment and invested it in a share of a private jet for his personal use instead of giving it to his client.
The situation was reportedly discovered in bank records subpoenaed by a Santa Ana federal grand jury.
“We entered into a mutually agreed upon settlement more than two years ago following the end of our relationship; a settlement that reflected Alexis’ investment of time and support over a number of years as Hassan pursued a career in the NBA,” Whiteside and Gardner said in a joint statement.
“It is unfortunate that something that was meant to be kept private between us is now being publicly reported. We have both moved on amicably and wish nothing but the best for each other,” the pair continued.
According to the grand jury, Avenatti told Whiteside that the whole $2.5 million was for attorney fees and that her part of the money would be broken down into 96 payments over eight years.
But following the claim of a payment plan and to cover for his misuse of the cash, Avenatti told Gardner that the NBA player was refusing to pay.
Nearly a year later, Avenatti began sending monthly payments totaling about $194,000 to Gardner claiming that the money was from Whiteside. https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2019/04/22/michael-avenatti-accused-of-embezzling-2-5-million-from-nba-player/
Battleground Florida: Soros-Funded Groups Work to Register 1.4 Million Ex-Felons Ahead of 2020
Progressive organizations, many financed by billionaire activist George Soros, are working overtime to restore voting rights for Florida’s nearly 1.4 million ex-felons as the nation’s biggest swing state seems poised to play a pivotal electoral role in the 2020 presidential race.
The current battle revolves around a Florida state amendment that was passed last year restoring voting rights for felons, with progressive groups opposing a local bill that would require the state’s ex-felons to first pay civil fines and court fees before registering to vote.
Florida’s Amendment Four was approved by voters during last year’s Midterm election. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/04/22/battleground-florida-soros-funded-groups-work-to-register-1-4-million-ex-felons-ahead-of-2020/
