I think there should be an entire thread exploring the idea of why Duda never gets invited to JOM shindigs.

I'm a capital fellow. I have feelings.

This is actually pretty good:

So, 16 state attorneys general have written the President and asked to have Mulvaney dismissed as head of the CPRB. Here's the letter they sent.

maryrose,

Yes, it did. Since I can't drive I am dependent on others to get anywhere, which means most days I am housebound. It's sort of isolating, which is why I enjoyed today so much.

Thanks for thinking about that, maryrose!

"A Message from President Donald J. Trump on Hanukkah

Hanukkah is a time for Jewish families around the world to come together around the lighting of the menorah and celebrate the miracles of the past and promises of the future. Melania and I wish all of our Jewish brothers and sisters celebrating this meaningful holiday a happy and healthy eight nights in the company of those they love.

The miracle of Hanukkah began more than 2,000 years ago, when the practice of Judaism was made punishable by death. A small band of Jewish patriots rose up and reclaimed their Jewish identity by vanquishing a mighty army. In their pursuit to rededicate their holy temple, the Jewish heroes found only enough oil to light the temple’s menorah for one night. However, a miracle occurred and with God’s grace the oil lasted for eight days.

On this holiday, we are proud to stand with the Jewish people who shine as a light to all nations. We also stand with the people of Israel, the Jewish State, which has itself a miraculous history of overcoming the tallest of odds. We hope that those observing the holiday here, in Israel, and around the world have a wonderful holiday."

I remember when Theranos was the Next Big Thing, right before it turned out to be a complete fraud. I found that quite interesting.

Federal Judge Recuses Herself From A Second Fusion GPS Case

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has recused herself from a second case involving Trump dossier firm Fusion GPS.

Tanya S. Chutkan, an Obama appointee, recused herself on Monday from a case involving a dispute over subpoenas issued for Fusion GPS, the firm that commissioned the dossier.

Aleksej Gubarev, a Russian tech executive accused in the dossier of hacking Democrats’ computer systems, has sought to subpoena Fusion GPS records and to depose its employees to find out more about the research firm’s work on the dossier.

Gubarev is suing BuzzFeed for defamation for publishing the dossier earlier this year. He denies the allegations laid out in the document, which was written by former British spy Christopher Steele.

Chutkan recused herself last month from another case involving Fusion GPS. The firm had filed suit against its bank, TD Bank, to keep it from complying with a subpoena issued by the House Intelligence Committee, which sought Fusion’s bank records.

Chutkan presided over that case from Oct. 20 to Nov. 9. It was reassigned to Judge Richard Leon, a George W. Bush appointee. Since taking over the case, Leon has indicated that he plans to allow more transparency into the court proceedings involving the battle over Fusion’s bank records. He has ordered several documents be unsealed and made public.

Chutkan has presided over the case involving the lawsuit against BuzzFeed since Aug. 31. Her replacement is Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee who assumed office in October.

The reasons for Chutkan’s recusals remain a mystery.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. District Court confirmed that Chutkan recused herself from the case but declined to provide an explanation, citing policy against discussing recusal decisions.

Chutkan’s past legal work could have something to do with the decision.

Prior to her appointment to the federal bench, Chutkan was a partner at Boies, Schiller & Flexner (BSF), an international white shoe law firm founded by David Boies.

At the firm, Chutkan represented Theranos, a medical technology company. Fusion GPS also appears to have worked for Theranos and BSF.

Chutkan represented Theranos in a 2013 malpractice lawsuit. She left BSF for the federal bench the next year.

It is unclear when Fusion GPS began working on behalf of Theranos. But The Washington Post reported on Monday that Fusion GPS co-founder Peter Fritsch intervened on behalf of the company during a 2015 investigation by The Wall Street Journal.

Fritsch, a former reporter at The Journal, reportedly asked Journal reporter John Carreyrou to soften coverage of Theranos and its inaccurate blood-testing devices.

The Post reported that Fritsch accompanied Boies along with a Theranos delegation to The Journal’s newsroom in June 2015 to meet with Carreyrou and his editor. Carreyrou’s series of stories on Theranos exposed the companies faulty blood-testing equipment and led to a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation.

Fusion GPS typically works for law firms in their representation of corporate or political clients. Such was the case for its work on the dossier. Fusion was paid by Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented the Clinton campaign and DNC.

BSF was accused of using heavy-handed tactics to quiet a whistleblower who came forward to expose Theranos’ fraudulent activity.

Tyler Shultz, the whistleblower, told The Wall Street Journal that lawyers with BSF threatened him and hired private investigators to track him.

BSF has been accused of similar tactics in the firm’s representation of Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood producer accused of sexually assaulting numerous actresses. The law firm hired an Israeli private intelligence firm to investigate many of Weinstein’s accusers.

There is no indication that Chutkan worked for BSF while Theranos was dealing with the Wall Street Journal. BSF did not respond to a request for comment.

[daddy]

Well I just woke from my nap after our Shapiro's Rendezvous so I am at Champs Sports-Pub in downtown Indy and here is my after action report.

Delightful, Delightful Delightful! and make sure you say it out loud and happy like, just like Gomer Pyle would do:) Great fun!

Beautiful clear blue sky and sunny, but cold as the dickens and a ferocious wind at noon was blowing me down Illinois street to the Deli, but I swung in the door and by now not even an inkling of butterflies rose in my stomach on spotting Miss M since we are old buddies and have done this meet-up business a number of times already. Big non-Al Franken hugs ensued, then met her delightful sis the Nurse who's name I instantly forgot since I have Alzheimer's and it was great to see how much fun this gal turned out to be who was obviously intently interested in checking out who were these crazy internet folks who had "virtually" hi-jacked her sister.

Then almost immediately up walked GentleJim, good looking handsome fella', a fitting Rob Grownkowski to my Terry Bradshaw. GentleJim carries himself with the poise and confidence of a seasoned athlete, and immediately it struck me Miss Marple's sister was wondering if he was naked under those clothes, but I didn't say nothing but "Hello" and got a firm handshake in return from that 6 foot 4 solid citizen who lives in Michigan but thinks he lives in Indiana. GJ's got 2 kids in Purdue which did not go over well with Miss M's grandson Nate when he showed up late from weightlifting, as he is an IU Senior but "Oh well", what you gonna' do.

We found our table, then all queued up in a line of about a hundred people and each ordered some ginormous corn beef sandwich variety---me the Reuben:
(Sorry Manhattaner's, but it beats the heck out of Carnegies.)

Anyhow, then we all sat down and chowed and had as delightful a running conversation as could be had. We all want to go to Mars obviously and we agree that the informed Police solution to Chicago is to just build a fence around the place and let 'em have at it. In no specific order we covered Thomas Wictor, Team Mueller's stench, Nellie Ohr and her Ham radios, Gloria Allred's latest "Ham", Miss Marple's raising prize winning Sheep in some 1960 Four H club competition, Chain Migration, pencil neck Schiff, something about GentleJim and horses, Rocco's convict's Easy Bake Oven, Jerusalem, the Norks, Jim Acosta's degree of sunuvabitchness, Trump, Sessions, Sarah Huck, draining the swamp, the CFPB (tho' none of us could get the letters in proper order) our favorite misunderstanding of Bitcoin, Roy Moore, Harvey Weinstein, Mick Mulvaney, GUS's all CAPS, and Rex Tillerson's Sword dance. We all enjoyed imagining drinking a beer to excess with Captain Hate at some bar and getting his descriptive commentary on the NFL and Roger Goddell's criminal $200 Million dollar contract.

At IU (Indiana University) Miss M's grandson Nate is a senior majoring in Sports marketing and Business and says ESPN is tanking something awful, and having just returned from some Soccer Tourney in Philly and New York, where his useless IU shit Soccer team beat my TarHeels, he says Philly makes a great Philly cheese steak sandwich but Manhattan's Reubens take a back seat to Shapiro's, so he recovered himself nicely, and then ran off to give the other half of his Reuben to his girlfriend who works at the Indianapolis Children's Museum where apparently it is State Law that every resident of Indianapolis is required by law to work at the Indianapolis Children's Museum at some point of their lives. A sensible policy I am in favor of, BTW.

Then Miss Marple dropped her pickle on the floor and it killed me that in such polite company you can't invoke the 5 second rule and pick it up and chow down and instead have to pretend it's dirty and awful and off limits and all, and all the while she was jabbing about something pertinant I was salivating at that damn thing, taboo now on her plate wrapped in a napkin:(
Then Miss M's delightful sister, who I can't remember her name because of my Alzheimer's (did I say that already) regaled us with an amazing blow by blow description of being in the hospital room when Miss M said it was 2013, and then IIRC she is the gal who when the Doc asked if Miss Marple knew who the President was and she replied glumly with drooped shoulders, "Barrack Obama" Sis started shrieking like a Howler Monkey, and that the only thing that brought Miss M back to reality was reminding her how hilarious Rex Tillerson's Sword dance was, especially when how all the reporters asked him excitedly stuff about it and T-Rex replied laconically, "This ain't my first Sword dance.":)

Something like that.

Anyhow, great to see that Miss M is back to as sane as me and GentleJIm and her Sis who's name I fergit, and her 1960 female goats who have horns and all the rest. Lovely, Miss M, sis and GentleJim. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Great meet up. Delightful, Delightful, Delightful! as Gomer would say.

More, please. Catch-up begins now.

Earlier someone posted Hugh Hewitt's interview with Jim Acosta, he is such a spiteful little bitch (swiping this from duda's earlier post -- I usually don't read him, have him killfiled on other computer) -- anyway, at the end of Q/A, Hewitt agreed that Acosta could come back, next day, for more opportunity to discuss treatment of Trump, and one of Acosta's last comments was "...'wasn't fair' or 'if it was fair.'"

Janet, your 6:37 reminded me of something. We had a friend who was being inducted into a big university's football hall of fame, and he and his wife had invited us to go with them to the banquet. (He was in the Guinness Book of Records for passing, I think. Way long time ago.) It was freezing cold, I'd worn a fur coat (please, don't anyone try and shame me) and somehow in the crush of the crowd (I didn't know where to check the coat, had gotten separated from my husband and friends) I ended up walking in with the city's mayor and his wife. He began talking to me (a nobody) took my arm, and led me to his table and sat me down by his wife. :) I acted like I belonged there. Sometimes appearances and clothes are everything. (My husband came and collected me in a little while. :)

Actually, Loeb's in D.C. is the best kosher deli for lunch I have ever ate. Their Chicken liver with onion sandwich is my favorite. Their potato salad is to die for. They use to be across from my office on McPherson Square but have now moved down to "I" street near the Army-Navy Club.

There are only two choices about Mueller:

1. He is as corrupt as the others we have been reading about.

2. He's a straight arrow who has portrayed himself as corrupt in order to do an elaborate sting operation.

I am now inclined to the first but am hoping for the second.

Surely he cannot have thought he could get away with framing the President. If that, he's both #1 AND an imbecile.

There's a chain of kosher restaurants called Ben's on Long Island that's okay, but not to die for, which is what a good corned beef or pastrami on rye with good Kosher mustard should be. Happy Chanukah!

Miss marble, Mueller plotted with comedy and goldsmith, the editor of lawfare(and perhaps communicated with wray)against Gonzalez on the terrorism surveillance program, on the eve of the Madrid train bombing, he collaborated with the early aspects of the plame manner, perhaps communicating with eickenrode. He then whipped the whole us atty kerfluffle. Signs of enemy action then you have the uranium one matter.
