<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">Pope Francis made the admission while visiting the Middle East</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">Pope Francis has admitted that clerics have sexually abused nuns, and in one case they were kept as sex slaves.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">He said in that case his predecessor, Pope Benedict, was forced to shut down an entire congregation of nuns who were being abused by priests.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">It is thought to be the first time that Pope Francis has acknowledged the sexual abuse of nuns by the clergy.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">He said the Church was attempting to address the problem but said it was "still going on".</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">Last November, the Catholic Church's global organisation for nuns denounced the "culture of silence and secrecy" that prevented them from speaking out.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">The Pope's comments come amid long-running cases of sexual abuse of children and young men by priests at the Church.</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.8px;">

<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">Speaking to reporters while on a historic tour of the Middle East on Tuesday, the pontiff admitted that the Church had an issue, and the roots lay in society "seeing women as second class".</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">He said that priests and bishops had abused nuns, but said the Church was aware of the "scandal" and was "working on it", adding that a number of clerics had been suspended.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">"It's a path that we've been on," he said.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">"Pope Benedict had the courage to dissolve a female congregation which was at a certain level, because this slavery of women had entered it - slavery, even to the point of sexual slavery - on the part of clerics or the founder."</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">Pope Francis said sexual abuse of nuns was an ongoing problem, but happened largely in "certain congregations, predominantly new ones".</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">"I think it's still taking place because it's not as though the moment you become aware of something it goes away."</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">Where is the abuse said to have taken place?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">The female congregation dissolved in 2005 under Pope Benedict was the Community of St Jean, which was based in France, Alessandro Gisotti of the Vatican press office told CBS News.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">In 2013, the Community of St Jean admitted that priests had behaved "in ways that went against chastity" with several women in the order, according to the French Roman Catholic newspaper La Croix.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">In a separate case in India last year, a bishop was arrested over allegations that he raped a nun 13 times between 2014 and 2016.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">Bishop Franco Mulakkal, who headed the diocese in Jalandhar in the northern state of Punjab, has denied the accusations.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">In Chile, reports of abuse of nuns carried out by priests led the Vatican to launch an investigation last year. The women were reportedly removed from the order after highlighting the abuse.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">Last year, the Associated Press news agency reported cases of abuse in Italy and Africa .</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">What have women in the Church said?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">Just days ago the Vatican's women's magazine, Women Church World, condemned the abuse, saying in some cases nuns were forced to abort priests' children - something Catholicism forbids.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">The magazine's editor, Lucetta Scaraffia, said Pope Francis's acknowledgement of the abuse "can be of some help", but warned that the Church needs to act.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">"If the Church continues to close its eyes to the scandal... the condition of oppression of women in the church will never change," she wrote.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">The magazine said the #MeToo movement meant more women were now coming forward with their stories.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">Last year, French website Le Parisien reported the case of "Christelle" (in French) , a former nun whose name was changed to preserve anonymity.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">Christelle said she had suffered sexual abuse at the hands of a priest of her congregation in France between 2010 and 2011.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">"His gestures became more and more inappropriate," she said, adding: "But he kept going... until the day he raped me.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 19.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 19.08pt;">"He was unable to control himself... he had a split personality."</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;"><b>RUSH LIMBAUGH Shares His Cancer Diagnosis<br />Feb 3, 2020<br />RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, this… This day has been one of the most difficult days in recent memory for me because I’ve known this moment was coming in the program today. Now, I’m sure that you all know by now, I really don’t like talking about myself, and I don’t like making things about me other than in the usual satirical, parodic, joking way.<br />I like this program to be about you and the things that matter to all of us. The one thing that I know that has happened over the 31-plus years of this program is that there has been an incredible bond that has developed between all of you and me. Now, this program’s 31 years old, and in that 31 years, there are people — you hear them call all the time — who have been listening the whole time. They’ve been listening 30 years or 25 years.<br />I just had somebody say they’ve been here three years. But, whatever, it is a family-type relationship to me, and I’ve mentioned to you that this program and this job is what has provided me the greatest satisfaction and happiness that I’ve ever experienced, more than I ever thought that I would experience. So I have to tell you something today that I wish I didn’t have to tell you.</b></span></div>
<div style="display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;"><b>It’s a struggle for me because I had to inform my staff earlier today. I can’t escape… Even though people are telling me it’s not the way to look at it, I can’t help but feel that I’m letting everybody down with this. But the upshot is that I have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, diagnosis confirmed by two medical institutions back on January 20th. I first realized something was wrong on my birthday weekend, January 12th.<br />I wish I didn’t have to tell you this, and I thought about not telling anybody. I thought about trying to do this without anybody knowing, ’cause I don’t like making things about me. But there are going to be days that I’m not gonna be able to be here because I’m undergoing treatment or I’m reacting to treatment, and I know that that would inspire all kinds of curiosity with people wondering what’s going on.<br />And the worst thing that can happen is when there is something going on and you try to hide it and cover it up. It’s eventually gonna leak, and then people are gonna say, “Why didn’t you just say it? Why’d you try to fool everybody? ” It’s not that I want to fool anybody. It’s just that I don’t want to burden anybody with it, and I haven’t wanted to. But it is what it is. You know me; I’m the mayor of Realville.<br />So this has happened, and my intention is to come here every day I can and to do this program as normally and as competently and as expertly as I do each and every day, because that is the source of my greatest satisfaction professionally, personally. I’ve had so much support from family and friends during this that it’s just been tremendous. I told the staff today that I have a deeply personal relationship with God that I do not proselytize about.<br />But I do, and I have been working that relationship (chuckles) tremendously, which I do regularly anyway, but I’ve been focused on it intensely for the past couple of weeks. I know there are many of you in this audience who have experienced this, who are going through it yourselves at the same time. I am, at the moment, experiencing zero symptoms other than… Look, I don’t want to get too detailed in this.<br />What led to shortness of breath that I thought might have been asthma or — you know, I’m 69 — it could have been my heart. My heart’s in great shape, ticking away fine, squeezing and pumping great. It was not that. It was a pulmonary problem involving malignancy. So I’m gonna be gone the next couple days as we figure out the treatment course of action and have further testing done. But, as I said, I’m gonna be here as often as I can.<br />And, as is the case with everybody who finds themselves in this circumstance, you just want to push ahead and try to keep everything as normal as you can, which is something that I’m going to try to do. But I felt that I had to tell you because that’s the kind of relationship I feel like I have with those of you in this audience. I say it every Christmas, which is when I feel more thankful than at Thanksgiving.<br />And I feel thankful at Thanksgiving, but Christmas it really gets to me. But over the years, a lot of people have been very nice telling me how much this program has meant to them. But whatever that is, it pales in comparison to what you all have meant to me. And I can’t describe this. But I know you’re there every day. I can see you. It’s strange how, but I know you’re there.<br />I know you’re there in great numbers, and I know that you understand everything I say. The rest of the world may not when they hear it expressed a different way, but I know that you do. You’ve been one of the greatest sources of confidence that I’ve had in my life. So, I hope I will be talking about this as little as necessary in the coming days.<br />But we’ve got a great bunch of doctors, a great team assembled. We’re at full-speed ahead on this, and it’s just now a matter of implementing what we are gonna be told later this week. So, I’ll be back here. I hope I’ll be back Thursday. If not, it will be as soon as I can — and know that every day I’m not here, I’ll be thinking about you and missing you. Thank you very much.</b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Beltway's 'Whistleblower' Furor Obsesses Over One Name</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">By Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations<br />October 30, 2019, 4:21 PM Eastern</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For a town that leaks like a sieve, Washington has done an astonishingly effective job keeping from the American public the name of the anonymous “whistleblower" who triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump — even though his identity is an open secret inside the Beltway.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">More than two months after the official filed his complaint, pretty much all that’s known publicly about him is that he is a CIA analyst who at one point was detailed to the White House and is now back working at the CIA.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But the name of a government official fitting that description — Eric Ciaramella — has been raised privately in impeachment depositions, according to officials with direct knowledge of the proceedings, as well as in at least one open hearing held by a House committee not involved in the impeachment inquiry. Fearing their anonymous witness could be exposed, Democrats this week blocked Republicans from asking more questions about him and intend to redact his name from all deposition transcripts.<br />RealClearInvestigations is disclosing the name because of the public’s interest in learning details of an effort to remove a sitting president from office.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Further, the official's status as a “whistleblower” is complicated by his being a hearsay reporter of accusations against the president, one who has “some indicia of an arguable political bias … in favor of a rival political candidate" -- as the Intelligence Community Inspector General phrased it circumspectly in originally fielding his complaint.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Federal documents reveal that the 33-year-old Ciaramella, a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House, previously worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump who helped initiate the Russia “collusion” investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Further, Ciaramella (pronounced char-a-MEL-ah) left his National Security Council posting in the White House’s West Wing in mid-2017 amid concerns about negative leaks to the media. He has since returned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.<br />“He was accused of working against Trump and leaking against Trump,” said a former NSC official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.<br />Also, Ciaramella huddled for “guidance” with the staff of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, including former colleagues also held over from the Obama era whom Schiff’s office had recently recruited from the NSC. (Schiff is the lead prosecutor in the impeachment inquiry.)</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And Ciaramella worked with a Democratic National Committee operative who dug up dirt on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, inviting her into the White House for meetings, former White House colleagues said. The operative, Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American who supported Hillary Clinton, led an effort to link the Republican campaign to the Russian government. “He knows her. He had her in the White House,” said one former co-worker, who requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Documents confirm the DNC opposition researcher attended at least one White House meeting with Ciaramella in November 2015. She visited the White House with a number of Ukrainian officials lobbying the Obama administration for aid for Ukraine.<br />With Ciaramella’s name long under wraps, interest in the intelligence analyst has become so high that a handful of former colleagues have compiled a roughly 40-page research dossier on him. A classified version of the document is circulating on Capitol Hill, and briefings have been conducted based on it. One briefed Republican has been planning to unmask the whistleblower in a speech on the House floor.<br />On the Internet, meanwhile, Ciaramella's name for weeks has been bandied about on Twitter feeds and intelligence blogs as the suspected person who blew the whistle on the president. The mainstream media are also aware of his name.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Everyone knows who he is. CNN knows. The Washington Post knows. The New York Times knows. Congress knows. The White House knows. Even the president knows who he is,” said Fred Fleitz, a former CIA analyst and national security adviser to Trump, who has fielded dozens of calls from the media.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yet a rare hush has swept across the Potomac. The usually gossipy nation’s capital remains uncharacteristically — and curiously — mum, especially considering the magnitude of this story, only the fourth presidential impeachment inquiry in U.S. history.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Trump supporters blame the conspiracy of silence on a “corrupt” and "biased” media trying to protect the whistleblower from due scrutiny about his political motives. They also complain Democrats have falsely claimed that exposing his identity would violate whistleblower protections, even though the relevant statute provides limited, not blanket, anonymity – and doesn’t cover press disclosures. His Democrat attorneys, meanwhile, have warned that outing him would put him and his family “at risk of harm," although government security personnel have been assigned to protect him.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“They’re hiding him,” Fleitz asserted. “They’re hiding him because of his political bias."<br />A CIA officer specializing in Russia and Ukraine, Ciaramella was detailed over to the National Security Council from the agency in the summer of 2015, working under Susan Rice, President Obama’s national security adviser. He also worked closely with the former vice president.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Federal records show that Biden’s office invited Ciaramella to an October 2016 state luncheon the vice president hosted for Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Other invited guests included Brennan, as well as then-FBI Director James Comey and then-National Intelligence Director James Clapper.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Several U.S. officials told RealClearInvestigations that the invitation that was extended to Ciaramella, a relatively low-level GS-13 federal employee, was unusual and signaled he was politically connected inside the Obama White House.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Former White House officials said Ciaramella worked on Ukrainian policy issues for Biden in 2015 and 2016, when the vice president was President Obama's "point man" for Ukraine. A Yale graduate, Ciaramella is said to speak Russian and Ukrainian, as well as Arabic. He had been assigned to the NSC by Brennan.<br />He was held over into the Trump administration, and headed the Ukraine desk at the NSC, eventually transitioning into the West Wing, until June 2017.<br />“He was moved over to the front office” to temporarily fill a vacancy, said a former White House official, where he “saw everything, read everything.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The official added that it soon became clear among NSC staff that Ciaramella opposed the new Republican president’s foreign policies. “My recollection of Eric is that he was very smart and very passionate, particularly about Ukraine and Russia. That was his thing – Ukraine,” he said. “He didn’t exactly hide his passion with respect to what he thought was the right thing to do with Ukraine and Russia, and his views were at odds with the president’s policies. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the whistleblower,” the official said.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In May 2017, Ciaramella went “outside his chain of command,” according to a former NSC co-worker, to send an email alerting another agency that Trump happened to hold a meeting with Russian diplomats in the Oval Office the day after firing Comey, who led the Trump-Russia investigation. The email also noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin had phoned the president a week earlier.<br />Contents of the email appear to have ended up in the media, which reported Trump boasted to the Russian officials about firing Comey, whom he allegedly called “crazy, a real nut job.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In effect, Ciaramella helped generate the “Putin fired Comey” narrative, according to the research dossier making the rounds in Congress, a copy of which was obtained by RealClearInvestigations. Ciaramella allegedly argued that “President Putin suggested that President Trump fire Comey,” the report said. “In the days after Comey’s firing, this presidential action was used to further political and media calls for the standup of the special counsel to investigate ‘Russia collusion.’ “</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the end, Special Counsel Robert Mueller found no conspiracy between Trump and Putin. Ciaramella’s email was cited in a footnote in his report, which mentions only Ciaramella’s name, the date and the recipients “Kelly et al.” Former colleagues said the main recipient was then-Homeland Security Director John Kelly..</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ciaramella left the Trump White House soon after Mueller was appointed. Attempts to reach Ciaramella were unsuccessful, although his father said in a phone interview from Hartford, where he is a bank executive, that he doubted his son was the whistleblower. “He didn’t have that kind of access to that kind of information,” Tony Ciaramella said. “He’s just a guy going to work every day.” The whistleblower's lawyers did not answer emails and phone calls seeking comment. CIA spokesman Luis Rossello declined comment, saying, “Anything on the whistleblower, we are referring to ODNI.” The Office of the Director of National Intelligence did not respond to requests for comment.<br />In his complaint, the whistleblower charged that the president used “the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election.” Specifically, he cited a controversial July 25 phone call from the White House residence in which Trump asked Ukraine’s new president to help investigate the origins of the Russia “collusion” investigation the Obama administration initiated against his campaign, citing reports that “a lot of it started with Ukraine," where the former pro-Hillary Clinton regime in Kiev worked with Obama diplomats and Chalupa to try to “sabotage” Trump’s run for president.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Later in the conversation, Trump also requested information about Biden and his son, since “Biden went around bragging that he” had fired the chief Ukrainian prosecutor at the time a Ukrainian oligarch, who gave Biden’s son a lucrative seat on the board of his energy conglomerate, was under investigation for corruption.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Intelligence Committee Chairman Schiff argued the whistleblower's complaint, though admittedly based on second-hand information, amounts to an impeachable offense, and they subsequently launched an impeachment inquiry that has largely been conducted in secret.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The whistleblower filed his “urgent” report against Trump with the I.C. inspector general on Aug. 12, but it was not publicly released until Sept. 26.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Prior to filing, he had met with Schiff’s Democratic staff for “guidance." At first, the California lawmaker denied the contacts, but later admitted that his office did, in fact, meet with the whistleblower early on.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Earlier this year, Schiff recruited two of Ciaramella’s closest allies at the NSC — both whom were also Obama holdovers -- to join his committee staff. He hired one, Sean Misko, in August — the same month the whistleblower complaint was filed.<br />During closed-door depositions taken in the impeachment inquiry, Misko has been observed handing notes to the lead counsel for the impeachment inquiry, Daniel Goldman, as he asks questions of Trump administration witnesses, officials with direct knowledge of the proceedings told RealClearInvestigations.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Republicans participating in the restricted inquiry hearings have been asking witnesses about Ciaramella and repeatedly injecting his name into the deposition record, angering Schiff and Democrats, who sources say are planning to scrub the references to Ciaramella from any transcripts of the hearings they may agree to release. “Their reaction tells you something,” said one official familiar with the inquiry.<br />For example, sources said Ciaramella’s name was invoked by GOP committee members during the closed-door testimony of former NSC official Fiona Hill on Oct. 14. Ciaramella worked with Hill, another Obama holdover, in the West Wing.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">During Tuesday’s deposition of NSC official Alexander Vindman, Democrats shut down a line of inquiry by Republicans because they said it risked revealing the identity of the whistleblower. Republicans wanted to know with whom Vindman spoke within the administration about his concerns regarding Trump’s call to Ukraine. But Schiff instructed the witness not to answer the questions, which reportedly sparked a shouting match between Democrats and Republicans.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Determined to keep the whistleblower's identity secret, Schiff recently announced it may not be necessary for him to testify even in closed session. Republicans argue that by hiding his identity, the public cannot assess his motives for striking out against the president. And they worry his political bias could color inquiry testimony and findings unless it’s exposed.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rep. Jim Jordan, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, asserted the American people have the right to know the person who is trying to bring down the president for whom 63 million voted. “It’s tough to determine someone’s credibility if you can’t put them under oath and ask them questions,” he said. Added Jordan: “The people want to know. I want to get to the truth."</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In an open House Natural Resources Committee hearing last week, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) seemingly out of left field asked a witness about “Eric Ciaramella of the Obama National Security Council,” in what the Washington press corps took as a bid to out the whistleblower. He later told a Dallas radio station he knew the whistleblower’s name. “A lot of us in Washington know who it is,” Gohmert said, adding he’s a “very staunch Democrat” who was “supposed to be a point person on Ukraine, during the time when Ukraine was its most corrupt, and he didn’t blow any whistles on their corruption."</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Washington Post ran a news story over the weekend critical of Republicans for allegedly trying to “unmask” the whistleblower, for attempting to do the job journalists would normally do. Last week, the paper ran an op-ed by the whistleblower’s attorneys claiming he was no longer relevant to the inquiry and beseeching the public to let their client slip back into obscurity. For its part, the New York Times ran a story last month reporting details about the whistleblower’s background, but stopped short of fully identifying him, suggesting it didn’t know his politics or even his name. “Little else is known about him,” the paper claimed.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On Thursday, Democrats plan a House vote on new impeachment-inquiry rules that would give Republicans for the first time the ability to call their own witnesses. Only, their requests must first be approved by the Democrats. So there is a good chance the whistleblower, perhaps the most important witness of all, will remain protected from critical examination.</span></div>

Trey Gowdy decided not to speak a certain reelection to The House Of Representatives... but now, I’m pretty dang happy. For awhile the quick witted former prosecutor was a “contributor” at Fox News, but now he has been TERMINATED because he is joining President Trump’s legal team. The South Carolina congressman held his seat for eight years and was the chairman of the House oversight committee. He also headed up congressional investigation of Hilary Clinton and the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya. As reported on Zero Hedge “Gowdy is expected to advise the White House behind the scenes and appear on TV to advocate on behalf of the president," a person familiar with the matter told Axios's Margarate Talev.</span></span>richard randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956296955218571647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16140099937819023.post-29806421800935892682019-10-07T09:13:00.000-07:002019-10-07T09:13:06.671-07:00De'Von Bailey<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<b><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">District Attorney Dan May has sent the officer involved shooting death of De’Von Bailey to the Grand Jury for investigation. The 19 year old was stopped in connection with a suspected armed robbery and was shot as he ran from police. As he ran his hands were down near his waist and officers told him to raise his hands several times. After he was shot police found a gun in his shorts. The entire shooting and the lead up and aftermath were recorded on police body camera and<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> a neighborhood security camera. An attorney representing the family says it is “too little too late.”<br />“It’s impossible for us to have any faith that a grand jury can come to a fair conclusion when they’re relying on biased information presented by a biased district attorney.”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">
<b><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
That attitude should NOT be surprising since the attorney is more interested in a cash settlement than true and honest justice for the family, the community, the officers and their families or the alleged victims of the deceased. The attorneys and supporters have held protests, rallies, and fund raisers but have been noticeably silent about the alleged victims of De’Von Bailey, instead alleging those criminal investigations are nothing more than character assassination. Before De’Von Bailey is held out as a martyr and victim of racism or police violence people should consider how the alleged young victims of suspected sexual impropriety might feel.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Court records show Devon Malik Bailey listed on an affidavit that says he was accused of sex crimes in El Paso County. I have reviewed that affidavit and am sickened by the allegations. KOAA 5/30 is one of the only media outlets with enough courage and fairness to report the facts. To do so is not character assassination but rather the pursuit of justice for at least two child victims.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
According to KOAA... “Court documents reveal Bailey had interactions with police three times since 2015. Charges from two of those incidents were dismissed by the district attorney.Court records also show Bailey was facing charges tied to two victims. The charges include Criminal Attempt- sexual assault on a child by one in position of trust. Court records show Bailey pled *not guilty* to the charges.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When I interviewed the young man who was stopped with Bailey before the shooting I was told Bailey was carrying the gun because he was concerned about the allegations against him.</div>

promotes positive and open interaction between CSPD officers and the community
they serve, the CSPD developed a citizen ride-along program. During a
ride-along, which in most situations is limited to one, four hour session in a
twelve month period, community members will have the opportunity to interact
with an officer in a one-on-one setting. While responding to a variety of calls
for service, the officer and the community member will have the opportunity for
open and candid communication about the police profession. By creating a venue
for positive interaction, the program hopes to instill a greater sense
awareness about the role and responsibilities of our officers, as well as the
define the expectations our community has of the CSPD. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Many police departments, to include the CSPD, strive to employ
individuals from diverse backgrounds that are representative of the communities
they serve. Having a diverse work force allows departments to better relate to
and subsequently serve their communities. For the CSPD, the concept of
diversity is an important one that has multiple meanings which can be applied
to our sworn and civilian employees. This includes but isn’t limited to an
employee’s life experience, their nationality, their racial affiliation, and
their gender. Our employees bring differing degrees of life experience, some
coming to us as college students to others having served in one of the five
branches of our country’s military. The CSPD employs individuals from countries
such as South Africa, England, Australia, Tunisia, and Germany. Of our 713
sworn officers, approximately 18% of them associate themselves with a minority
group. Of that same number of officers, approximately 15% are female; to
include 14 who are currently attending the 26 week long Training Academy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span data-offset-key="9vhns-0-0" style="background-color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: white;">Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has claimed for years that she is part Native American. She finally took a DNA test. Her Native American lineage is minimal, if she has any at all. The Boston Globe inflated that percentage range to 1/32 to 1/512. They were forced to make a correction, to decrease the percentage range to 1/32 to 1/1,024. But that still wasn’t accurate. They made a second correction to 1/64th and 1/1,024th. In contrast, the average European-American’s genome holds .18 percent Native American ancestry. That is more than Warren’s .097 percent.</span></span></div>

The New York Times claimed Nikki Haley put in $52,000 curtains at the residence of the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. A New York Times headline blared, ““Nikki Haley’s View of New York Is Priceless. Her Curtains? $52,701.” In response, California Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu requested an oversight hearing on the U.N. ambassador and her deputy’s spending. The Times’ article buried an important fact. The Obama administration made plans to buy the curtains in 2016. No one consulted Haley. The Times was forced to change its headline and add an editorial note.</span></span></div>

<span data-offset-key="4gt9b-0-0" style="background-color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: white;">Two children died from the conditions they experienced crossing through Mexico with the caravan. They didn’t die because the Border Patrol failed to offer them medical treatment. The two appeared to die from similar flu-like illnesses after being taken into custody after illegally crossing the Mexico-U.S. border. Both were given medical care.</span></span></div>

When he continued to complain about feeling sick and started vomiting, his father did not return him to the hospital, but said he felt better. The 7-year-old Guatemalan girl, Jakelin Caal Maquin, died of septic shock, fever, and dehydration hours after she was apprehended. She “reportedly had not eaten or consumed water for several days.”</span></span></div>

<span data-offset-key="1crl9-0-0" style="background-color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: white;">7. CNN claimed Ted Cruz was too scared to come on the network. CNN said Ted Cruz was too scared to come on the network to discuss gun control and the Parkland shooting. But the truth is Cruz had just did an interview with CNN about it the day before, which CNN didn’t bother airing.</span></span></div>

<span data-offset-key="d3194-0-0" style="background-color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: white;"> That's funny, I spoke to CNN for 15 mins yesterday about proactive solutions to prevent gun violence (like passing the Grassley-Cruz bill—which Dems filibustered—that would add $300 million for school safety) yet CNN has aired NONE of it. Why not air the (entire) interview?</span></span></div>

At a press conference in November, Acosta said to Trump, “Your campaign had an ad showing migrants climbing over walls and so on, but they’re not going to be doing that.” But photos taken around that time show members of the caravan climbing over the fence.</span></span></div>

Der Spiegel reporter Claas Relotius admitted to making up interviews and facts in at least 14 articles. Relotius was once named “CNN journalist of the year” for his reporting.
