Judge Amy Berman Jackson Enters Letters in Roger Stone Sentencing Case File That Praise Judge, Attack Trump and Barr; One Letter Bragged of Burning US Flag When Trump Elected
Judge Amy Berman Jackson has entered letters in the sentencing case file for Roger Stone by seemingly random Trump-haters who write in praise of the judge while also spinning Trump-Barr conspiracy theories likely picked up by non-stop watching of MSNBC. One letter writer bragged they burned an American flag given to them by a veteran when Trump was elected.
Stone’s sentencing is set for Thursday, however its enactment will be delayed while a motion by Stone for a new trial is considered by Jackson.
One purported letter writer, Phillip S. Norton, 70, of Massachusetts, says he was motivated to write by reports that Attorney General William Barr intervened in the Stone case after President Trump tweeted against the proposed sentence. Norton concludes his letter by telling Jackson that while Trump will likely pardon Stone, it is important that she use her role in the sentencing to set a “marker”.
A copy of the letter was posted to Twitter by the lawyer known as Techno Fog, with this comment, “Judge Amy Berman Jackson is now granting leave to file hysterical letters in support of sentencing Roger Stone. Letters that attack AG Barr w/ conspiracy theories. Calling the US an “autocracy” and “banana republic” with “Putin laughing all the way” Shameful.”

WaPo Claims Elites Should Run Elections; Quietly Edits Article After Public Outrage Ensues
The Washington Post is taking heat over a Tuesday op-ed authored by Marquette University political science professor Julia Azari, titled "It’s time to give the elites a bigger say in choosing the president."
Azari argues that the Democratic party's primary process is overly-complicated and convoluted, and the process of choosing the nominee should instead be placed in the hands of politicians instead.
After outrage ensued, the Post changed the headline to the far less inflammatory "It's time to switch to preference primaries."

Moscow Says Attacks on Russian, Syrian Troops in Idlib Continue as Erdogan Threatens ‘Imminent’ Op
Idlib Province in Syria has suffered an uptick of clashes between the Syrian Arab Army and militants supported by Turkey. Ankara maintains that Damascus breached a ceasefire agreement and threatened to launch a military offensive in retaliation.
Russian and Syrian forces continue to come under attack from Idlib Province, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday. The minister added that Russia lends its support to the Syrian Arab Army, which simply responds to provocations.
"The demilitarised zone at whole Idlib zone perimeter has not been created yet. In addition, we see the continuation of shellfire from the de-escalation zone on Syrian Army positions, civilian assets as well as attempts to attack Russia’s Hmeymim base", Lavrov said.
He added that terrorists are not guaranteed safety in the Idlib zone.
"Nobody gave a promise to terrorists that they would be safe in the Idlib zone, just read the agreements between the Russian and Turkish presidents and everything will fall into place", Lavrov said.
The diplomat underlined that Russia is willing to continue working with Ankara on Idlib, including at the highest level. At the same time, Lavrov noted that there has been no information regarding any upcoming meetings between Putin and Erdogan.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia is dissatisfied with the implementation of the Sochi agreement with Turkey on creating a demilitarised zone in Idlib.
According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, Russia will continue cooperating with Turkey to prevent a further escalation of tensions in Idlib.
"We used to be satisfied with the agreements reached in Sochi more than a year ago and this satisfaction was mutual. However, we are completely dissatisfied now that militants and terrorists have begun advancing from Idlib and attacking Syrian forces and Russian military installations", Peskov stated.
Turkey dissatisfied with Ankara-Moscow talks
Turkish President Erdogan said on Wednesday that Russia-Turkey talks on Syria's Idlib have not been conducive to bringing about the desired result and bilateral discussions are still far from meeting Ankara's demands.
Speaking at a parliamentary meeting with his ruling AKP party, Erdogan warned that an offensive in Idlib could begin "at any moment".
"Turkey has made all necessary preparations to kick off an operation in Idlib. As in the case with any other operation, we say: 'we could come at night at any moment'. In other words, the Idlib offensive could begin at any time", TRThaber quoted the president as saying.
The Turkish president emphasised that Ankara is seeking to turn the embattled province into a secure zone even while discussions with Russia continue. Erdogan added that he had discussed potential action in Syria with President Trump over the phone.
"We will not leave Idlib to the regime that does not understand yet how determined we are. We are adamant in our desire to transform Idlib into a safe haven both for civilians and for Turkey at whatever cost", Erdogan asserted.

2019-nCoV: They say that there’s 73k confirmed, but this puts estimates at 983,006
They say that there’s around 73k confirmed with Coronavirus, but this assesment puts estimates at 983,006
Abstract
Background: Since the first cluster of cases was identified in Wuhan City, China, in December, 2019, 2019-nCoV has rapidly spread across China as well as caused multiple introductions in 25 countries as of February, 2020. Despite the scarcity of publicly available data, scientists around the world have made strides in estimating the magnitude of the epidemic, the basic reproduction number, and transmission patterns. Recently more evidence suggests that a substantial fraction of the infected individuals with the novel coronavirus show little if any symptoms, which suggest the need to reassess the transmission potential of emerging disease. The present study aimed to estimates of the transmissibility and virulence of 2019-nCov in Wuhan City, China, by reconstructing the underlying transmission dynamics. Methods: We employ statistical methods and publicly available epidemiological datasets to jointly derive estimates of transmissibility and severity associated with the novel coronavirus. For estimation, the daily series of laboratory-confirmed nCov cases and deaths in Wuhan City and epidemiological data of Japanese evacuees from Wuhan City on board government-chartered flights were used. Results: We found that our posterior estimates of basic reproduction number (R) in Wuhan City, China in 2019-2020 is calculated to be as high as 7.05 (95%CrI: 6.11-8.18) and the enhanced public health intervention after January 23rd in 2020 has declined R to 3.24 (95%CrI: 3.16-3.32), with the total number of infections (i.e. cumulative infections) estimated at 983006 (95%CrI: 759475-1296258) in Wuhan City, raising the proportion of infected individuals to 9.8% (95%CrI: 7.6-13.0%). We also found that most recent crude infection fatality ratio (IFR) and time-delay adjusted IFR is estimated to be 0.07% (95% CrI: 0.05%-0.09%) and 0.23% (95%CrI: 0.17-0.30%), which is several orders of magnitude smaller than the crude CFR at 4.06% Conclusions: We have estimated key epidemiological parameters of the transmissibility and virulence of 2019-nCov in Wuhan, China, 2019-2020 using an ecological modelling approach. The power of our approach lies in the ability to infer epidemiological parameters with quantified uncertainty from partial observations collected by surveillance systems.
