longtime Trump ally is also seeking access to Mueller's full report

Why would he be doing this, I wonder? You know he already knows 'the worst' that's in it since he was in it up to his neck. A little pre-emptive extortion, perhaps? Guarantee me a pardon and I'll drop this request?

It's quite likely that if this request were to be granted, that the unredacted report would then become part of Stone's trial record. And trial records are normally public records. That's how the Boston Globe got documents about paedophile priests for their expose. A document from one sealed court case that was an exhibit in a previous unsealed court case.

Mueller.

'“The Mueller report was just the first step,” said Gene Rossi, a former federal prosecutor from Virginia. “What these recent events show me is that Robert Mueller has created an army of acolytes and those soldiers are now embedded in the Justice Department, Eastern District of Virginia, Southern District of New York and Washington D.C. These acolytes are trained, they’re hungry and they’re determined.”'

Thanks, lion.

All hail the ravenous acolytes @ the sdny🙏

So they are hoping that Assange will provide information against Trump?

lionheart · 13/04/2019 22:03

I am trying to be hopeful but really this has been one hell of a week in the realm of Trump. Sad

'House Democrats are crying foul over a plan by the Intelligence Committee's top Republican, Rep. Devin Nunes, to meet privately with Attorney General William Barr to push the Justice Department to pursue criminal charges against officials involved in the investigation of President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia.

Nunes’ accusations of misconduct are aimed at a slew of former FBI and Justice Department officials, who he alleges committed crimes in their pursuit of allegations that President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign conspired with Russians to influence the election.'

It is being stated that Assange was arrested in response to an extradition request from America, but wasn't he initially arrested for jumping bail? I'd've thought he'll have to be tried for that first if he was.

There is a queue:

'In a statement issued on Friday, his legal team confirmed he would resist the extradition which sets a “dangerous precedent where any journalist could face US charges for publishing truthful information about the United States”. Jennifer Robinson, a barrister at Doughty Street Chambers, added: “The US now has 65 days to submit its full extradition request.”

Assange is due to appear in court by video link on 2 May for a bail hearing. He is separately scheduled to appear at Southwark crown court in the coming weeks to be sentenced for breaching his bail conditions.'

thanks for the links, fantastic up-to-the-minute info as ever👍
Yes I'd heard that there are moves afoot over here to get him diverted off to Sweden

cozietoesie · 14/04/2019 01:32

Cheer up, lion. It will work out. Smile

Does Trump realise that he lives/lived in a 'sanctuary city'?
D.C. and N.Y. are both Sanctuary Cities.

He employs undocumented immigrants. Hmm

Is he even capable of understanding hypocrisy?

Too many syllables - fake word...
