Alyssa Milano, Katie Hill Headline L.A. Impeachment Rally: ‘Impeach the Motherf**ker!’

LOS ANGELES, California — Roughly 500 protesters turned out for a pro-impeachment rally Tuesday evening in front of City Hall, the night before the House of Representatives is due to vote on articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.

“Impeach the motherf**ker!” shouted former Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA), who resigned earlier this year over allegations that she had affairs with members of her campaign and congressional staff. She was greeted warmly by the crowd.

Headliner Alyssa Milano, the actress-turned-activist, told the crowd she was tired of the “bullshit” from the “asshole” in the White House, and urged attendees to vote out Trump and the Republicans in the upcoming 2020 election.

Signs — most homemade — included: “Impeach and Remove”; “Trump Is Not Above the Law”; and simply “Impeach 45.” Less polite signs included “Fuck Cheeto Voldemort” and “Make the Asshole Go Away,” the latter a play on Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan.

One man carried a rubber head of Trump on a pike. He told Breitbart News he wished it were the real thing.

Inside the ‘Q Group,’ the Directorate Hunting Down Edward Snowden

July. 11, 2017

The top-secret ‘Q Group’ has been chasing Edward Snowden since he disappeared in May. Eli Lake on the intel community’s internal police—and why the agency is in ‘complete freakout mode.’

Even before last week’s revelations by The Guardian newspaper that the National Security Agency (NSA) was collecting call records from telecommunications companies and had the ability to mine user data from major U.S. Internet companies, the NSA was already on the trail of the leaker, according to two former U.S. intelligence officers with close ties to the agency.

On Sunday, The Guardian revealed its source—a 29-year-old former U.S. Army soldier and CIA employee named Edward Snowden. Snowden—who worked as a contract employee at an NSA station in Hawaii—said he agreed to have his identity revealed because he feared that the NSA would put pressure on his family and his friends for information about his whereabouts. From a hotel in Hong Kong, he told The Guardian he expected he would never be allowed to return home and that he could end up imprisoned or murdered because of his decision to leak.

The people who began chasing Snowden work for the Associate Directorate for Security and Counterintelligence, according to former U.S. intelligence officers who spoke on condition of anonymity. The directorate, sometimes known as “the Q Group,” is continuing to track Snowden now that he’s outed himself as The Guardian’s source, according to the intelligence officers. Snowden began final preparations for his departure three weeks ago, The Guardian reports, copying the final documents he intended to share, telling his supervisor that he would need time off for medical treatment, and his girlfriend simply that he would be away. "That is not an uncommon occurrence for someone who has spent the last decade working in the intelligence world," he told the paper in his interview from Hong Kong.

Rachel Maddow Gushes Over Disgraced FBI Lawyer Lisa Page

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow praised disgraced FBI lawyer Lisa Page during an exclusive interview Tuesday evening.

Page was discovered to be having an affair with former deputy assistant director Peter Strzok, who worked on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation before he was removed for exhibiting bias against President Donald Trump in his text messages with Page. Thousands of the lovers’ text messages, which were sent on agency-issued phones, were released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI in 2017.

Maddow criticized the conservative media and Trump for allegedly targeting Page and praised the former lawyer’s extensive history with the FBI during Tuesday’s interview.

“This has been going on for two years now,” Maddow said when discussing the alleged attacks on Page by the media and Trump. “The president and his allies in Congress and in particular the conservative media invoking the name Lisa Page as though the name itself is an epithet.”

“Lisa Page is real life person who built a career before she became this kind of target for the president and his allies,” the liberal MSNBC host added.

In a lengthy preview to the interview, Maddow described Page’s resume in depth. She noted that Page was a federal prosecutor, worked in various positions at the Justice Department, and named several high-profile cases where the former FBI lawyer played “significant roles.”

The MSNBC host attacked the Justice Department for “literally” inviting “reporters to come to the department to view” Page’s “personal text messages.” Maddow did not note that the messages were sent using agency-issued, not personal, cell phones.

“The Justice Department just shoveled these texts of their own employees without context, and of course without the senders’ permission, which is ultimately how Lisa Page came not to be not just on the list of people the president wants tried and convicted for treason, but also the one he calls over and over ‘Peter Strzok’s lovely FBI lover,'” Maddow said.

‘Mind your business’: Mixed reaction in India after 19 American universities condemn police amid citizenship bill protests

Students and faculty from more than a dozen American universities have produced a joint statement decrying police abuses on Indian college campuses. However, not everybody has welcomed the message from abroad.

A collective effort of several top schools, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Stanford, the 400 signatories voiced “solidarity” with the demonstrators protesting the recently-passed Citizenship Amendment Act and slammed police excesses in quelling the unrest.

We express full solidarity with students across universities in India who are peacefully protesting against the recent passing of the unconstitutional and discriminatory Citizenship Amendment Act.

Also signed by Cornell, MIT, the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Illinois, the missive details five demands for the Indian government – calling for an end to the violence and investigations into police conduct, among other things.

While some expressed gratitude for the support from abroad, a number of Indian netizens did not appreciate being lectured to by students living 8,000 miles and an ocean away, and asked them to respectfully mind their own business

70 Illegal Aliens Found In Tractor Trailer In Texas Were ‘Marked’ Like Cargo, Officials Say

LAREDO, TEXAS – Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents encountered a large human smuggling attempt this week.

A commercial tractor trailer approached the commercial vehicle inspection lanes of a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint yesterday. Agents soon discovered more than 70 people inside the trailer. The group consisted of both male and female subjects. All were found to be illegally present in the United States, from the countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico. The subjects were outfitted with marked shirts that appear to assist the trafficking organization in classifying/identifying the individuals within the group, a similar methodology used to classify cargo and commodities.

The driver, a U.S. Citizen, and the illegal aliens were placed under arrest, pending investigation. The tractor and trailer were seized by the U.S. Border Patrol.

The case was turned over the Homeland Security Investigations.

92% Of Americans Feel Their Freedom Is Threatened

Americans are most afraid their First Amendment rights could be taken away, according to a new poll by Harris Poll/Purple Project, which surveyed 2,002 people nationwide from November 18-20, 2019. Overall, Statista’s Maria Vultaggio notes that 92 percent were concerned their rights were being jeopardized, USA Today wrote, citing the poll. Americans also fear their right to bear arms and their right to equal justice are in danger.

The poll comes one week after it was revealed by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) that at least 6.4 million students at nearly 500 campuses in the U.S. have experienced their freedom of speech being restricted. FIRE discovered this through analyzing the written policies of the schools and coding them with a grade of red, yellow or green. Nearly a quarter of schools received a red rating, meaning speech was most restricted at these schools.

The finding was worrying for Laura Beltz, the lead author of the study.

“Colleges should serve as centers of intellectual debate and inquiry, but if you have policies telling you can’t protest unless you submit a request two weeks in advance, or you can’t use words that other people find offensive, that ends up being impossible,” she told The Epoch Times.

“A Parent’s Worst Nightmare…” NYC Soccer Coach Accused of Raping Multiple Boys & Girls

QUEENS — A 23-year-old Woodhaven resident – who coached soccer with the now-defunct American Eagle Soccer Academy – has been charged with rape, sexual abuse, promoting a sexual performance by a child and other crimes for his alleged contacts with both boys and girls between July 2018 through September 2019. The victims in this case were 13, 14 and 15 years old at the time.

Acting District Attorney John Ryan said, “This case is every parents’ nightmare – a coach gains their trust and then betrays them in the most vile ways to feed his own sick, sexual desires. This defendant is accused of forcing one boy against a wall and molesting him. The defendant is also alleged to have had both oral, anal and vaginal sex with teen boys and girls in his home and other locations. The defendant will be held accountable for these alleged actions. He now faces a lengthy term of incarceration.”

The Acting DA also urged anyone who suspects their child may have been victimized by this defendant to please contact the police by calling 911 or walking into any police facility to report the abuse. Additionally, if anyone has any information regarding the abuse, they should call the NYPD’s

Crime Stoppers’s tip line at 800-577-TIPS.

The District Attorney’s Office identified the defendant as Harrison Torres, 23, of 89 Avenue in the Woodhaven neighborhood of Queens. The defendant is awaiting arraignment in Queens Criminal Court on 4 separate complaints charging him with first-, second- and third-degree sexual abuse, attempted

use of a child in a sexual performance, promoting a sexual performance by a child, second- and thirddegree criminal sexual act, third-degree rape, possessing a sexual performance bya child and endangering the welfare of a child. If convicted, Torres faces between 15 and 50 years in prison.

Acting DA Ryan said, according to one complaint, Torres had sex with an underage teenage girl in his home sometime between July 20, 2018, and October 1, 2018. In a separate complaint, he is alleged to have brought a young teenage boy to his home between November 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018, and sexually abused the victim. Torres is also charged with allegedly video recording the sex acts, a copy of which was allegedly recovered by the police.

According to a third complaint, Torres shoved a 13-year-old boy against a wall at a high school in Woodside, Queens and forcibly touched his genitals on the afternoon of November 7, 2018. Torres was at the high school with the American Eagle Soccer Academy, the soccer academy that was operated by

his father and had rented space from the school for an event.

Furthermore, according to the last complaint, Torres allegedly asked a 14-year-old boy to send him photos of his penis in exchange for cash sometime during the month of February 2019. Torres is then alleged to have sent his own videos to the teenager – one showing Torres having sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old girl and the other containing images of the defendant having sex with a 13-year-old boy.

Both videos were allegedly recovered by the police.

The investigation was conducted by Detective Daniel Cruz of the New York City Police Department’s Queens Special Victims Squad and Detective-Investigator Noel Torres of the Queens District Attorney’s Office.
