The House of Representatives moved Friday to make military commissions held at Guantanamo Bay more transparent by paving the way for proceedings to be broadcast online.
Mr. Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, introduced the amendment after a report he requested from the Government Accountability Office recommended that the military consider making the commissions available online.
“The military commissions at Guantanamo have been out of sight, and therefore out of mind, for far too long,” said Rep. Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.”As Guantanamo nears its third decade, and with trials still years away, it is all the more important that victim’s families, the media and the public are able to follow the trials before the military commissions
Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) announced that the House of Representatives passed his amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) specifically authorizing military commission judges at Guantanamo Bay to order proceedings to be broadcast via the Internet.
FBI agents were serving a search warrant Monday morning at the downtown headquarters of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
There were also reports of warrants being served at Los Angeles City Hall, but it was unclear exactly what offices were being targeted
This is a breaking news story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

Says this operation has been going since the beginning of October. You think those raids in LA that we’re said to be an exercise have anything to do with this? Snatch and grab missions all over the country?

The Pentagon has revealed a few details about a secret Army mission that has Black Hawk helicopters flying missions over the Washington, D.C., area backed by active-duty and reserve soldiers. The mysterious classified operation was disclosed when the Army asked Congress for approval to shift funds to provide an extra $1.55 million for aircraft maintenance, air crews and travel in support of an “emerging classified flight mission.”
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has once again weighed in on Bitcoin, claiming the U.S. dollar has not been used to finance “nefarious” activity on a recent episode of CNBC’s Squawk Box. Democratic House Representative Maxine Waters also dropped a tasty nugget of a soundbite as well, sharing her thoughts on “bitcom” and the need for regulation
This project is meant to catalogue how Epstein’s secure footing in elite spheres helped hide his crimes. It includes influential names listed in his black book, people he flew, funded, and schmoozed, along with others whose connections to him have drawn renewed attention.
His Contacts, A to Z
A guided tour of a perverse power list.
Disgraced former PBS host Charlie Rose and accused billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein allegedly had conversations about women whom Rose should hire and whom he would then go on to sexually harass.
The logs show that Epstein and his personal assistant called Rose multiple times to recommend women whom they believed would be good fits for the host. One women was described as the “world’s most perfect assistant” on the basis that she used to work for disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, who was also ousted after being outed as a serial sexual harasser.
Another woman recommended by Epstein “shows up on the manifests of Epstein’s jet, including on Bill Clinton’s trip across Africa, and wound up working at the Clinton Foundation,” Carmon reports.

Could they be rescuing child trafficking victims or something like that? I’m thinking that this mission and those raids in Los Angeles have to be part of the same operation.
Also, what about the rule about the military conducting operations in the United States in the first place?
Under 18 U.S.C. § 831, the Attorney General may request that the Secretary of Defense provide emergency assistance if domestic law enforcement is inadequate to address certain types of threats involving the release of nuclear materials, such as potential use of a nuclear or radiological weapon. Such assistance may be by any personnel under the authority of the Department of Defense, provided such assistance does not adversely affect U.S. military preparedness. The only exemption is the deployment of nuclear materials on the part of the United States Armed Forces.
Provide surveillance, intelligence gathering, observation, and equipment for domestic law enforcement on operations such as drug interdiction and counter-terrorism missions

Vice President Mike Pence was one short plane ride away from shaking hands with an alleged interstate drug dealer.
Pence abruptly canceled his trip to Manchester, N.H., earlier this month but never said why he was pulled from Air Force Two at the last minute.
The vice president’s aides and even President Donald Trump himself kept up the suspense. “You'll know in about two weeks,” Trump told reporters at the time. “There was a very interesting problem that they had in New Hampshire.”

Behind Pence’s Air Force Two cancellation: A drug dealer

The vice president’s aides and even President Donald Trump himself kept up the suspense. “You'll know in about two weeks,” Trump told reporters at the time. “There was a very interesting problem that they had in New Hampshire.”
From your link:
He was charged with a single count of using a telephone to help commit a crime, according to court records.
He agreed to be sentenced to up to four years in federal prison and a maximum fine of $250,000. Scott Murray, the U.S. attorney for the state, did not return a call about the leniency of the charges.
WTH???
Hope he sang like a bird if that is all he got. No telling how many people have been harmed by this scumbag.
