Thank-you. When I read this: twitter.com... , I was thinking that Andy McCabe was one of the two guys Comey sent, to entrap General Flynn.
If General Michael Flynn went through all this willingly, he's an even bigger hero than we thought!

A two-year standoff over a top counterintelligence nomination ended this week after a Senate Republican said the nation’s spy chief and attorney general provided long-sought transparency for congressional investigations.
William Evanina, a former FBI special agent, has led the National Counterintelligence and Security Center since 2014, and in February 2018, was nominated by President Trump to be the first Senate-confirmed director of the center.
But since June of that year, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley has blocked the nomination as a form of protest against DOJ leadership and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for not providing Congress documents related to the government’s investigation into Russian election interference and Trump’s presidential campaign.
That impasse ended on Monday (5/4/2020) with Grassley withdrawing his objection, citing "recent actions” by Attorney General William Barr and acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell to “finally respond to my very longstanding oversight requests."
The stipulation is that these businesses will have to adhere to social distancing and cleaning protocols. Governor Newsom is claiming that he is not caving to pressure, but rather the data is telling him to re-open.

Imagine that.
What a coincidence.

t appears that Slate’s Timothy Noah simply can’t acknowledge when he’s wrong. As I recently discussed, Noah criticized Sen. Lindsay Graham and, to a lesser extent, Eugene Volokh and me for pointing out that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as an ACLU attorney in the 1970s, had advocated legislative changes that would have reduced the age of consent for statutory rape under federal law from 16 to 12. Volokh and I (Volokh far more thoroughly than I) completely refuted Noah.
Did Ginsburg “ever condone pedophilia,” he asks? “Volokh and Whelan insist that in praising S. 1400, §1633, Ginsburg was praising the lowering of the age of consent,” he asserts. On the issue actually in dispute—did Ginsburg advocate legislative changes that would have reduced the age of consent for statutory rape under federal law from 16 to 12?
Wrong again. As I stated in my previous post, here (from page 76 of her report) is Ginsburg’s specific recommendation regarding 18 U.S.C. § 2032: “Eliminate the phrase ‘carnal knowledge of any female, not his wife who has not attained the age of sixteen years’ and substitute the offense as set forth in S. 1400, §1633.” (Italics added.) In the recommendation immediately following, regarding 18 U.S.C. §1153, Ginsburg likewise states: “Eliminate the phrase ‘carnal knowledge of any female, not his wife and substitute the offense as set forth in S. 1400, §1633.”
