Deep State or Good Guardrails?

Per the Times, decorated vet and NSC Ukrainian expert Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman described a policy dispute over aid, not a corrupt act.

Obviously, it could be both and LTC Vindmann is not a lawyer.

“retraction and apology”

The retraction is one of the biggest cons in “journalism”. It isn’t possible to unring the bell. It doesn’t cost the “journalist” nor his employer anything, and it never makes the victim of the false reporting whole. There needs to be a real cost to getting it wrong.

The WaPo “reporting” (spit) about Sandmann and Nathan Phillips (note you hardly ever hear that liar’s name) was criminally wrong. For every legal protection “journalism” gets, there ought to be a more stringent legal standard applied. Instead, the opposite happens - the legal protection produces more lies. Bertelsman only brought back three of 33 false statements WaPo made.

“the courts are a mystery”

Not in the Sandmann-WaPo case. The court is firmly in the pocket of the establishment. Bertelsmann threw the whole case out, despite the clear lies and negligence of WaPo. Had to be shamed into restoring 10% of it, which he’ll throw out later.

When you've lost JP Morgan...

THE HIGH COST OF HIGH TAXES: JPMorgan Weighs Shifting Thousands of Jobs Out of New York Area. “Despite more than two centuries of history in a city synonymous with the global financial industry, JPMorgan is quietly shrinking its workforce there. The bank’s been building up its presence in other locations and is now considering relocating several thousand New York-based employees out of the area to help rein in costs ahead of a possible economic downturn, according to people with knowledge of the bank’s strategy.”

As Arthur Schwartz quipped on Twitter, “Well done, @NYGovCuomo. Who are you going to tax when they’re all gone?”

A Bob, while I suspect the judge hacked up some rational basis when doing so, nothing in the handling of that case makes any sense. That goes triple for the Flynn stuff. The courts might as well be random number generators (though corruptly stacked against sanity).

If that could be proven, would networks be in trouble with the FCC?

[Another Bob]

That ProPublica thing seems a big meh to me Melinda. Not seeing where the corruption is. IRS didn’t push for a better deal than “free”?

“IRS wasn’t doing enough to oversee the tax prep companies and recommended that an outside auditor conduct an “objective and transparent” review”? We all know what that really means right?

Objection to something on the basis of “putting vulnerable ___ at risk”? Same thing.

Those objections raise my skepticism re. the motives of those doing the objecting. Seems like the usual suspects presuming there must be corruption wherever the private sector is involved.

Tom Maguire @Tom_Maguire
now

Now I've triggered myself. In 2016 Joe Biden was Vice President, not 'just' a US citizen or future Trump rival.
The Ukraine has rival pro-Putin and pro-West factions. Reporters or investigators can find the story they want from someone (Solomon and Giuliani spring to mind). 1/

It may be true or false that Hunter Biden was both corrupt and under investigation. Doesn't matter. Using Joe Biden in 2015/16 to threaten aid/ lay down the law is likely to be taken as a strong signal to the next prosecutor that Hunter is untouchable. Why pretend otherwise? 2/

[sbwaters]

The discovery phase could be interesting. When did the WaPo know that it's original reporting was wrong? I can't remember what they did, but a retraction and apology would be better than a, "We stand by our sources."

The discovery phase could reveal more than details about the three statements by Nathan Phillips.

There needs to be a real cost to getting it wrong.

No. There needs to be a real cost for letting a significant error in the first pass of reporting go uncorrected for self-serving reasons.

[clarice]

Jim, a poster on FB has pointed out that while the 2009 release was reported in the Daily Mail and Daily Beast, Baghdadi may have been released in 2004, the military having later said the initial report was an error based on a mix up of names. I simply do not know--I think the admission by the head of the Bucca Camp that it was in 2009 was reliable and any backtracking later to Obama's credit suspect.

Don Surber's Item 14 has been reported many times but this one seems much, much stronger. Let's face it, there's lots of propaganda and fake news out there. It's hard to be sure.
This report has some heft to it

"Survivors and victims on shocking state-sanctioned organ harvesting in China."

The story said, "anecdotes and evidence are slowly bubbling to the surface that the organs of members of marginalized groups detained in Chinese prisons and labor camps are unwillingly harvested. Most affected is a spiritual minority, the Falun Gong, who have been persecuted for adhering to a Buddhist-centric religious philosophy grounded in meditation and compassion.

"After 12 months of independent assessment of all available evidence, the seven-person China Tribunal panel – which was initiated by the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China (ETAC), an international human rights charity – delivered its final findings in June. The tribunal, chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC who led the prosecution of Slobodan Milosevic in the International Criminal Trial for the former Yugoslavia, stated with 'certainty' that 'in China, forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience has been practiced for a substantial period of time.'"

Why do we trade with Red China?

Because it bought off conservative think tanks, politicians, and universities?

Would we buy lampshades from Hitler and call it free trade?"

jim nj:

I think it's worth re-posting your comment from the last thread here:

"I've been trying to understand the reversal in the Covington kids lawsuit.

"The judge knocked out 30 allegations, but re-instituted 3.

"All are statements of the Indian, Mr. Phillips, that the WaPo published.

"They were false and defamatory. The WaPo went with them. Did they have a responsibility to verify them before reporting them?

"I'm having some trouble with this. Spoken word is slander, right? Printed word is libel, right?

"If you don't verify the facts behind the slander is the libel your own?"

I haven't read the allegations, but It sounds to me like the judge is setting Phillips up to take the fall and letting the WaPo off the hook. I assume his decision will also affect the parameters of what can and cannot be asked in discovery, so I'm not holding my breath for those results.

Perhaps one of our JOM lawyers can opine on whether or not he has actually made it more difficult for Sandman to win much of anything from the WaPo. Phillips has obviously not got any pockets at all, but can you appeal this new ruling further up in the hope of reinstating any of the allegations against the WaPo itself? Seems to me the judge has effectively neutered the whole case.

Perhaps Barr knows what is going on while the pundits do not? Wray wasn't in charge of the FBI when they set up Flynn. Wray was also technically correct when he said the FBI doesn't spy on anyone. When you have a legal search warrant to conduct surveillance against a criminal suspect that is not "spying". Pundits like Jim Hoft and Sundance tried to mislead people into believing Wray contradicted Trump when in reality he just explained what the FBI did when they adhered to legal law enforcement processes.
