Judicial Watch Obtains DOJ Documents Showing Andrew Weissmann Leading Hiring Effort for Mueller Special Counsel

 

“These documents show Andrew Weissmann, an anti-Trump activist, had a hand in hiring key members of Mueller’s team – who also happened to be political opponents of President Trump,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “These documents show that Mueller outsourced his hiring decisions to Andrew Weissmann. No wonder it took well over a year to get this basic information and, yet, the Deep State DOJ is still stonewalling on other Weissmann documents!”

Judicial Watch announced today the U.S. Department of Justice released 73 pages of records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) containing text messages and calendar entries of Mueller special counsel prosecutor Andrew Weissmann showing he led the hiring effort for the investigation that targeted President Trump.

The document production came in response to Judicial Watch’s June 7, 2018, lawsuit filed after the Department of Justice failed to respond to a December 15, 2017, FOIA request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-01356)). Judicial Watch seeks:

Oh Look, Another Socialist Country That’s Rationing Because Socialism Is Straight Trash

Via Billy

 

The Cuban government announced Friday it is launching widespread rationing of chicken, eggs, rice, beans, soap and other basic products in the face of a grave economic crisis. Commerce Minister Betsy Díaz Velázquez told the state-run Cuban News Agency that various forms of rationing would be employed in order to deal with shortages of staple foods.

Venezuela has been a mess for a long time. There are rolling blackouts. The people are starving. People from all social classes are eating out of garbage cans; the educated have now resorted to prostitution for groceries. Even some kids are now selling their bodies for basic supplies. It’s heinous. Zoos are being broken into, where the animals are being slaughtered for meat. Hospitals are reportedly operating under 19thcentury conditions. Basic supplies, like soap and gloves, are in short supply. Medicine is also in short supply. It’s a disaster. Nicolas Maduro, the successor to the late Hugo Chavez, is presiding over the massive collapse of so-called 21st Century Socialism.

Trump 5, Democrats 0: So Far, Trump Is Doing What He Needs to Do to Get Reelected

Via Richard

So far, Trump is doing what he needs to do to get reelected.

The Trump economy is benefitting “Trump country” the most, according to a study the Brookings Institution prepared for Bloomberg News:

Jobs are growing at a faster rate in Trump country than they are in the Democratic-leaning urban and coastal areas….

During the first 21 months of Donald Trump’s presidency, the 2,622 mostly rural and exurban counties he won in the 2016 election added jobs at twice the pace they did during the previous two years under the Obama administration….

The uptick in Trump country is crucial to the president’s re-election chances in 2020.

Score one for Trump.

BLOWN OPPORTUNITY: Justice Kavanaugh Is Quickly Becoming An Ally To The Left On The Court

Well, Justice Brett Kavanaugh has done it once again.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court's junior-most justice, the lifelong inside-the-Beltway D.C. swamp creature who Daniel Horowitz once perfectly described as "Karl Rove in a robe," sided with the Court's four liberals in an egregious endorsement of a dubious antitrust legal theory that eschews traditional judicial norms and prostrates the Court before the ever-zealous plaintiff's bar. Some overeager anti-Silicon Valley "conservatives" seem to be praising Kavanaugh for "taking on" Big Tech, but the reality is that there is nothing even remotely conservative about unduly expanding the inherently flawed corpus of antitrust law so as to incentivize unhinged litigiousness and enrich plaintiff's attorneys. And, as Justice Neil Gorsuch's excellent dissent carefully notes, it is even more non-conservative to incentivize that litigiousness by means of undermining rudimentary legal theories of "proximate causation" that every first-year law student is taught.
