One of Trumps lawyers (the supposedly respectable one) registered as a foreign agent to represent the Maduro regime. The idea of turning classified documents over to him
So Trumps lawyer is representing the dictatorship in Venezuela from which those asylum-seekers were fleeing for their lives when they were kidnapped in Texas by the governor of Florida and dumped in Massachusetts? Got it
Chris Kise, the attorney who turned over key documents in the ethics case against former Tallahassee Andrew Gillum, is now representing a member of the Nicolás Maduro government according to documents reviewed by Florida Politics.
Kise is listed on a Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) form to work on behalf of Venezuelan Attorney General Reinaldo Muñoz Pedroza. Muñoz Pedroza was appointed Attorney General by Maduro, though the United States no longer recognizes Maduros government as legitimate.
FARA requires individuals or firms doing work on behalf of a foreign principal to register with the U.S. government. Foley & Lardner, the law firm Kise works for, is listed as the registrant on the form received by the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday.

Get Homeland Security, the FBI, the CIA, in there. Trump is selling off our national secrets and the courts are helping him do it.
Have the FBI vet every one who gets to see those documents. That lawyer is copying anything of value for tfg to sell later.
Stop being surprised by how low he will go.

(11,121 posts)Why is he still leading the FBI? If he won't do the job, we don't need to pretend this is days gone by and things will get done. We have the House, the White House, and the Senate. If it isn't done, then those in power need to admit that they can't get it done and let someone under 50 do the job. (I'm 77).

And the infection has gotten into the bloodstream racing through the whole damn body and rampaging the bone morrow. I dont see any antibiotic that has a chance now. Playing nice and reaching across any damn aisle is like taking an aspirin to fight the infection. For fucks sake Dems and DOJ, start fucking swinging and dont stop until they all are face down and never allowed to ever run for anything. Fuck you Mitch, hurry up with that decomposing and rot out of our lives.
