Trump to receive briefing on inspector general's Clinton email report before it goes public

Source: WaPo

Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein is expected to brief President Trump on Thursday about the inspector general report on law enforcement’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe before it is released to the public, people familiar with the matter said.

Capitol Hill staffers were told Tuesday that scheduling and logistical conflicts would make it necessary for the Justice Department to shift its planned Thursday morning briefing to the afternoon, according to people familiar with the congressional plans. The scheduling change was apparently made to accommodate the White House, though staffers were not told the precise reason, the people said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk freely about schedules that were potentially still in flux.

The president “is really anxious to see the report,” said a person familiar with the planned Thursday briefing for Trump, which is expected to take place around the same time that lawmakers are informed of the inspector general’s findings. White House lawyer Emmet Flood is also expected to be present for the briefing, but Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, is not, the person said.

The inspector general announced last week that his office would release its report on Clinton’s use of a private email server June 14 — which is also Trump’s birthday.

ACLU: Prison phone company illegally exploiting visitors phones

The ACLU points out, on its website - that - "Company That Handles Prison Phone Calls Is Surveilling People Who Aren’t in Prison"

Neema Singh Guliani, ACLU Legislative Counsel
& Nathan Freed Wessler, Staff Attorney, ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, point out the facts that:

Securus, one of the country’s largest providers of phone services to incarcerated people, is known for its shady, cruel, and sometimes illegal business practices. It has charged exorbitant rates for prisoners’ calls, limited family and friends to video-only “visits” with incarcerated loved ones, and violated attorney-client privilege by recording phone calls between prisoners and their attorneys.

This week, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) revealed even more troubling practices that undermine the privacy and civil liberties of millions upon millions of Americans. In letters made public on Friday demanding action from the Federal Communications Commission and several major telecommunications companies, Wyden described Securus’ ability to obtain and share the cell phone location information of virtually anyone who uses a phone.

The letters report that Securus provides correctional facilities with the ability to access real-time location data for virtually any individual in the country — without making sure that officials have obtained a warrant or proper consent.

Terrible Arguments Against the Constitutionality of the Mueller Investigation

Source: Lawfare

https://twitter.com/Social_Int_News/status/1006448225945964544
.
In an early-morning tweet last week, President Trump took aim once again at Special Counsel Robert Mueller, but with a brand new argument: “The appointment of the Special Councel,” the president typed, “is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL!”

He (Trump) didn’t explain what his argument was, or where he got it, but a good guess is that it came from some recent writings by a well-respected conservative legal scholar and co-founder of the Federalist Society, professor Steven Calabresi. Unfortunately for the president, these writings are no more correct than the spelling in his original tweet. And in light of the president’s apparent embrace of Calabresi’s conclusions, it is well worth taking a close look at Calabresi’s argument in support of those conclusions.

Calabresi has made his argument in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, on a Federalist Society teleconference and in a more detailed paper he styles as a “Legal Opinion.” He contends that all of Special Counsel Mueller’s work is unconstitutionally “null and void” because, in Calabresi’s view, Mueller’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the Constitution, Article II, Section 2, Clause 2.

HOWEVER:

In short, there is no serious argument that Special Counsel Mueller’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause specifically or the separation of powers generally.

Washington Post hits Trump for 'alienating allies while fawning over dictators'

The Washington Post's editorial board on Monday knocked President Trump feud with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau following the Group of Seven (G-7) summit.

The editorial board criticized Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro's comment Sunday that there is a "special place in hell" for Trudeau, a remark he made after the summit ended.

Trudeau said at a news conference after Trump left the summit Saturday that Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum on the basis of national security was "kind of insulting."

The remarks angered Trump, prompting him to tear into Trudeau as "weak" and "dishonest" in a tweet, while his aides harshly criticized the Canadian leader during appearances on the Sunday morning talk shows.

Kris Kobach used taxpayer money to pay $1000 fine in federal case

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach used a state-issued credit card to pay a $1,000 fine for misleading a court about documents related to a 2016 meeting with Donald Trump.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported Friday that an open records request revealed that the payment was made last year using a state-issued credit card belonging to Craig McCullah, who was serving as deputy assistant secretary of state at the time.

McCullah, who is now seeking the Republican nomination for secretary of state, told the Capital-Journal in an interview that he was not aware that his card had been used to make the payment. He said he was deployed in Ukraine with the Oklahoma Army National Guard at the time of the payment.

"I was out of the country," he said. "I was never told about this."

Traub settled eToys v. Goldman Sachs and then Paul, Barry and MNAT argued who gets what monies.

Mitt has public dinner with Trump (where no one can sit in on the meeting).

Trump nominates Sachs/ Bain guy, Jay Clayton, to be head of SEC.

HAAS sues Clayton and Trump to block nomination; but Clerk of D.C. District Court refuses to put case on docket until 3 weeks after Clayton is confirmed.

Case is marked "F-Deck"

Doug Kelley apologizes and names Paul Traub as eToys fraud, partner of Dreier and controller of Tom Petters Ponzi

Like everyone else, Doug Kelley refuses to give Laser Haas credit; but Doug Kelley confirms Traub "controlled" Tom Petters, and that Traub did so after eToys fraud and when Traub was partners with Marc Dreier.
