The big news from the Dem debate came when it was over.
Hard to see the Sanders and Warren loyalists kissing and making up after this.
DO LET ME ADD: The Thirty Years Skirmish was funny, by which I mean stupid and pointless. Bernie beat a Republican incumbent in November 1990, 29 years and 2 months ago. Was that within Warren's parameter of "the past thirty years"? Progressive mathematicians are still sorting it out.
--Maybe some of your other links provide some basis to substantiate the threat to prosecute the kid story but based on the first link you provide there is nothing there to go on.--
Theo,
Read the NBC link. In it Ty Cobb, WH mouthpiece, seems to confirm the story.
Or read Powell's filings in which I believe she references it.

Arthur Anderson was destroyed by Weissman because of a cockamamie theory tht when they told Enron to pitch certain records--something normally done in the course of business and at a time when they had no knowledge that the govt was seeking them, they were engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct.
Clarice @ 6:11
Do you (or anyone else) know how long corporations are required by federal law to maintain all of their financial records? I assume the IRS and Securities Exchange Commission require corporations to maintain financial records for several years in the event they decide those corporations need to be audited or investigated for whatever reason.
Wouldn’t accounting firms like Arthur Anderson be required to maintain financial records of their work for their clients for the same length of time the corporations are required to maintain the records?
If I understood you correctly you said AA shredded their documents at a point in time they were unaware that Enron was being formally investigated. That would point to them being innocent of breaking the law. Since Enron executives committed multiple white collar crimes that AA got paid to prevent from happening, does that indicate AA failed to adequately perform the accounting and auditing services they got paid over $50 million a year to perform? I’m just trying to figure out how the Enron scandal could even occur if AA was doing what they were supposed to be doing.

I hate to bore you, but I understand that there are unconfirmed allegations that the prosecution threatened to go after his son unless he pled guilty. The fact that those allegations have been repeated multiple times does not make them true.
Moreover, as I have said repeatedly— and no one seems to argue otherwise — even if such a threat were made it does not automatically follow that he would or did plead guilty to something he did not do. You have to believe that he would give a false guilty plea, extorted from him by unscrupulous prosecutors on the assumption that said unscrupulous prosecutors would honor their oral off the record promise not to prosecute the son. If that story is convincing to you, so be it. It does not convince me.
I get it that the folks here are fans of Flynn and not fans of the prosecutors who went after DJT and his people. I share that general viewpoint. But we do not have to totally suspend critical judgment and simply accept a rather implausible story that Flynn pled guilty to something that he did not do.

GUS @ 5:38 -
You are right that there is no excuse for Kennedy’s behavior that night. This is true whether he was driving or not. He left the scene and did not call any first responders. He should burn in hell, no question about it.
BUT there is some reason to doubt that he was the driver. Would not make him any less culpable than if he were.
The medical examiner ruled that the girl drowned. Some question this ruling and since there was no autopsy, we can never know for sure. The asphyxiation diagnosis is only speculation- it may be correct but it is not an established fact.
Kennedy did go to his hotel and sleep whike she was (alive or dead) still in the car. However, an unimportant detail, he did not return to the accident scene in the morning. After hearing that the car and body had been found he hung around for a bit and then went to the police station.

I think the story about Mary Jo asleep in the back seat was dreamed up to soften Kennedy's culpability. As in, he didn't know she was there, so that's why it didn't occur to him that there was anything much wrong with him leaving the scene and failing to ask for help.
The problem is that he said at the time that he dove in the water to look for her. And then he went back to the cottage to get help from his buddies, who also dove to look for her. If he didn't know she was in the car, none of that makes sense. The buddies later told everyone at the cottage that Mary Jo was at her hotel.

Just got caught up and noticed a post by Robin on a previous thread on volleyball.
My oldest daughter was a player in high school. She may not have been a 'beast' per se, but she was a really, really good high school middle. Good enough to get articles in the local paperand a few looks at D3 before she opted for the 'full college experience' at IU instead.
I never asked and don't wanna know what the 'full college experience' is.
One of the colleges that invited us over was, of all places, Oberlin. They had just had a middle transfer to a D2 or D1 program and were looking for someone about 5'11" and was a straight 'A' student to take up the slot. My daughter ticked both boxes.
It's all about academic vs athletic scholarships at that level.
I probably dodged a bullet there and was better off going the 'full college experience'!
Somebody else responded to that post by Robin by saying something along the lines of 'enjoy it while it lasts'.
That'd be my recommendation too.
I miss those long gone days awful. Especially those long drives to a tourney where it is just you and your daughter on a long two or three hour drive.
Doesn't matter if they ever play after high school. They will learn more in those high school years playing school and club ball, especially how to compete and be ready for the real world, then any other thing you can have them involved.
Those club ball fees are heck though.

“Tomorrow, one hundred United States Senators will be sworn in to serve in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. Four of those Senators must recuse themselves for their unparalleled political interest in seeing this President removed from office. These four Democrats, Senators Bennet, Klobuchar, Sanders, and Warren, cannot sit in judgment of the very President they seek to replace. To participate in this trial would be a failure of the oath they took to be an ‘impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws’. Their presidential ambitions prohibit their ability to view this trial through an objective lens.” – Senator Marsha Blackburn

Porchlight @ 9:38 —
I agree. The notion that she was asleep in the backseat is contradicted by too many known facts.
It probably started because when the car was recovered the purse of another girl (Rosemary Keough) was found in the car. People started speculating like crazy but Keough herself explained that she had been driven back to Edgartown earlier in the evening to pick up a portable radio so that they could dance. Keough’s whereabouts for the entire evening were attested to by 8 or 9 people at the party.
Nothing is impossible but it seems real unlikely Mary Jo would have kept sleeping once the car was moving. More importantly, it is very difficult for anyone to escape a submerged automobile. The notion that both Kennedy and Keough did so is very hard to credit.

She is 13, on the short side (5'4"), and started a year behind the other girls so she'll be lucky if she gets to play high school ball. Those club fees for the less competitive team might be our reality, which is absolutely fine. She loves the sport and being part of a team, so we'll be going to tournaments until that changes.
The funny thing is that a PE class introduced her to the sport and a movie convinced her that she should pursue it. You just never know what clicks.

one other thing I'll say Robin.
My Girl played at the 'small school' in our county. Got lots of playing time.
it's about 800 kids versus the other two schools which are about 1400 and 2100.
at the smaller school she got a chance to spread her wings.
she may have not made it in volleyball at the bigger schools, the competition is so incredibly fierece to make that team.
a slower kid at 13, she was able to carve out a niche at the smaller school as she grew into the big body because the competition was less.
Something to think about...
She was homecoming queen too!
If she hadn't graduated at mid term she also woulda been valedectorian!!
I think it might be that it's just not volleyball I miss...
Love every minute of everything they do Robin.

I am not quite sure how anyone thinks they refute any point that I was attempting to make here.
Basically, these stories suggest that Mueller might go after the son, who was heavily involved with his father’s lobbying business. One article also says that Flynn Jr was the author of the “pizzagate” business.
And, so? None of these stories come anywhere close to establishing that (a) Flynn pled guilty in order to protect his son, (b) that the prosecution had ever indicated in any manner that If Flynn pled guilty his son would get a free pass or (c) that Flynn pled guilty to an offense that he knew he did not commit.
Indeed other facts make it pretty clear that the charge that Flynn pled guilty to — lying to the FBI about his conversation with the Russian Ambassador — was factually correct.
I am sorry that some find a recitation of facts “tedious.” But I think that it is better to know the facts than just blithely insist, based on very little supporting evidence — that Flynn agreed to plead guilty to something of which he was innocent in order to protect his son from prosecution.
It may be a convenient narrative to explain away why Flynn pled guilty, but it does not appear to be based on solid evidence.

Guilty of what, of a publicity film for the sultan, very near beer, not wanting to engage in a tit for tat exchange of diplomats over some nebulous claims

A low level Bernie staffer, over drinks, said they would burn down Milwaukee, open Gulags and force Trump supporters into re-education camps.
Since these are all crimes, threats of violence and admission of a desire to commit terrorism, it's totally appropriate for the Trump FBI to get FISA warrants and start wiretapping the entire Bernie campaign.

Ol' Yeller: The Senate has a responsibility to dismiss the charges of the House ASAP and the RINOs need to understand what the Constitution demands of them which does not include calling additional witnesses.

One of the first things I did at my first programming job was to fix the 1980 Bug in a bunch of COBOL programs that used a single digit year field to save disk space.

Did the same thing for 3 months in 1999 leading up to 12/31/99, Dave. Only it was 2 digit fields that had to have code modified to 4 digit year fields. We still missed 2 in the inventory module. :(

In the new study, published today (Jan. 15) in the journal Nature, astronomers describe six mysterious objects swirling around our galaxy's central black hole. According to the authors, these anomalous objects (dubbed G1 through G6) look like oblong blobs of gas several times more massive than Earth. However, they behave like small stars capable of passing perilously close to the black hole’s edge without being ripped to shreds.

That is fascinating but a 1,000 year orbit, thats farther than the kuiper belt distance.
