'Alarm bells': Being menaced every day by the corrupt, autocratic Trump regime is a crisis. But this one may be particularly disturbing.. (Updated 2x)

"Lawmakers Are Warned That Russia Is Meddling to Re-elect Trump

A classified briefing to House members is said to have angered the president, who complained that Democrats would “weaponize” the disclosure."

One brief excerpt:

"...Though intelligence officials have previously told lawmakers that Russia’s interference campaign was continuing, last week’s briefing did contain what appeared to be new information, including that Russia intended to interfere with the 2020 Democratic primaries as well as the general election.

The intelligence official who delivered the briefing, Shelby Pierson, is an aide to Mr. Maguire who has a reputation of delivering intelligence in somewhat blunt terms. The president announced on Wednesday that he was replacing Mr. Maguire with Richard Grenell, the ambassador to Germany and long an aggressively vocal Trump supporter."

More (copy):

The day after, Trump berated Joseph Maguire, the outgoing director of national intelligence for allowing it to take place, people familiar said. Trump cited Rep. Adam Schiff's presence in the briefing as a particular irritant.https://t.co/HYxousN8JF

This report should sound an ear-splitting alarm—on both sides of the aisle. I didn’t receive this House Intel Committee briefing, but all Congress should hear about Russia’s repeat interference. More important, all Americans need to know. https://t.co/t5EdaM97QC

Russia is interfering in our election again to help elect Trump.

After members of Congress were briefed about this threat, Trump fired the acting Director of National Intelligence.

Trump is shredding the rule of law—and the integrity of our democracy.https://t.co/0P3A4dDueJ

That said, you have to be careful about what you are watching and reading, because the media has taken sides. So if you only watch Fox News, because it’s reinforcing what you believe, you are not an informed citizen.”

"New York City Bar Association Sends Letter to Congressional Leaders and Department of Justice Inspector General Regarding the Prosecution of Roger Stone and Related Actions by the Department of Justice"

The letter's opening paragraph, excerpted:

"We write to express our deep concerns about the impartial administration of justice in connection with the prosecution of Roger Stone in federal court in Washington, D.C., and to call for immediate investigations by Congress and by the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General.  Recent actions by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, a component of the United States Department of Justice, raise serious questions about whether the Department of Justice is making prosecutorial decisions based not on neutral principles but in order to protect President Trump’s supporters and friends.  In our criminal justice system, a single standard must apply to all who are accused or convicted of violating the law—unequal treatment based on political influence is to be deplored in all cases but is especially dangerous if it emanates from the presidency."

(Reposted:) About those 'Trump job gains'...

(Commentary, including re-posted material. Temporarily posted.)

Reposted 2/7/20 news analysis article link:

"How Trump's three years of job gains compares with Obama's"

Brief excerpt:

"During Trump's first 36 months in office, the US economy has gained 6.6 million jobs. But during a comparable 36-month period at the end of Obama's tenure, employers added 8.1 million jobs, or 23% more than what has been added since Trump took office. 

The average monthly gain so far under Trump is 182,000 jobs. During the last 36 months under Obama, employers were adding an average of 224,000 jobs a month..."

So here’s what’s going to happen. Trump is a recidivist (a serial con man, serial rapist, serial liar, etc). He will take the Senate’s vote today as permission to keep breaking the law — but in ways that will shock even you & me — and frighten the entire country to act. pic.twitter.com/xZqbWsdGLP
