Lois Dobb's plays a clip of Trey Gowdy and Goodlatte joining the call for a Special Counsel to go after the obvious criminality of the FBI and the DOJ in the Dossier affair, then turns to his guest from Judicial Watch, Chris Farrell, for comments:
Dobbs:...Lets begin with your Lawsuit seeking Bruce and Nelly Ohr's records to find out the relationship with the discredited...Steele Dossier and of course GPS/Fusion's relationship to all of it.
Farrell: Well the American Public is owed the communications, the records, the messages, the texts, between Ohr, who was the number 4 guy at the DOJ, the same man who served as the conduit for all the phony Dossier/Fusion?GPS/ Christopher Steele nonsense. He was the 'go to" guy, to funnell that information to the Justice Department, and was the personal contact of Steele. And of course his wife Nelly Ohr, was working at FUSION/GPS, as an employee there. Ohr is the very nexus of all this information flow, and this peddling of up phonied up dirty information, so we need to see who he was communicating with and what he was communicating.
Dobbs:...It seems too me the FBI and DOJ would want to have those answers and that information itself, because it seems highly inappropriate on it's face, that's highly irregular conduct...highly inappropriate...there is no sign they are going to expedite a response to your Lawsuit. How long do you expect it to take to get resolution?
Farrell: We filed those requests in early and mid December. We sued yesterday. And we get before a Judge in the next couple of weeks. There'll be a scheduling conference. I would guess... probably within 60 days...They'll start producing them within 60 days... I am sure they'll start crying "woe is me " and have a hundred reasons why they can't do it in an expeditious manner.

From Narciso's 10:07 link: "Harvey Weinstein's lawyer said Saturday a woman having sex with a Hollywood producer to advance her career is "not rape", in a British newspaper interview on the eve of the Oscars."
It reminds me of the short TinselTown bio's I read of the 2 Femme Fatale's on last nights 1962 Perry Mason Episode: "The Case of the Double-Entry Mind."
Femme Fatale 1:
...Playboy’s "Playmate of the Month---Miss November 1958"
...meets Hugh Hefner at a cocktail party in Los Angeles...etc
Femme Fatale 2: (early 1950's) ...is chased by a Hungarian director around his office with a vibrator. He's shouting "Oy! Oy! Oy!"..
.
-[email protected] director at Paramount invites her to his office and [redacted} into her hand. She ends up working with him....
[email protected] that she may have had an affair with producer William Alland...
---1953...necks with Edward G. Robinson, the best kisser in Hollywood, behind the scenes...

You know I really don't understand a lot of these requests for e-mails. I mean if you're in government or the financial industry they archive these things.
I couldn't reply to such a subpoena, I regularly delete sent and received e-mails so the program opens/runs faster.
I once had a trader complaining about his computer being slow. I was stymied so I called one of the best IT techs to come down and look at it. We talked a little bit about the symptoms and the first thing he looked at was Microsoft Outlook. The user had thousands and thousands of inbound and outbound e-mails that took the program forever to open and clogged his hard drive with all the e-mail crap.
He had never deleted anything. The tech knew some way to delete any e-mail more than a month old, and with agreement from the trader, he did so. The tech told him to pay more attention to deleting e-mails he didn't need anymore.
Then he de-fragged the hard drive to reclaim all that used space. The PC ran like a champ after that.
The PC tech said this was not unusual and that I should regularly delete my own e-mail. I've followed that dictum ever since.

My interest in this is that I was a childhood friend of Victor Noto, the nephew, of Lore Noto, the producer of the play. Victor's father was a regular at the Bergen County Playhouse, an amateur mainstay here abouts.
In the way of all things childhood, I lost touch with Victor, but I believe he went on to acting.

daddy,
Ain't that the truth. Hope you are still here. PLEASE read those 2 links above!
I am quite confident about the future, given what I read.
Wouldn't it be swell if the SAUDIS had information on Obama, Hillary er al and dumped it on the internet this summer? A gal can dream.

Here is another Wictor thread about the long-term goals of the Saudis:

Down in the comments I found this comment from a Saudi:
@USPoliticsAr
Replying to @j_jrohde @Hessian_Mohd
As a Saudi, i was fascinated to see an american like Thomas tbh. I sense a really good knowledge about the middleeast (from history to geopolitics). He dont take his information from the "garbage" that get published by the news and big media.

Great couple, great book!

Since I follow Roma Downey on Twitter, I can explain that the book is about looking for positive features in all of life's events.

On the low carb diet front, my cholesterol and triglicerides just came back as "normal." The ratio of LDL to HDL is still off, but improved. (Zinc supplements? I was way low on zinc and that is the one change this time).
Net, I switched from the low fat diet in the fall, and the numbers got better, then got better again. It now seems normal to go to the grocery store and get nothing but produce and meats. Beer I get at the beer store, better selection ;)

Miss M,
Both of your 05:40 links are great reads.
Lifson: Reforming Islam to reconcile it with modern, technological societies based on free will is one of the most important tasks for the world to accomplish.
Yep.
These moves by MbS make it clear that he is betting his career and indeed his life on accomplishing that task.
Completely agree. I am pulling for him big time and sure hope he dodges a bullet.
