BREAKING: AG Barr Installs Outside Prosecutor to Review Abusive Case Against General Flynn


General Mike Flynn

US Attorney General Bill Barr has assigned an outside prosecutor to review the abusive case against General Mike Flynn.

Barr also assigned a handful of prosecutors to review other cases in the US Attorney’s office in DC.

US Attorney in St. Louis Jeff Jensen is one of the prosecutors handling Flynn’s case.

The New York Times reported:

Attorney General William P. Barr has assigned an outside prosecutor to scrutinize the criminal case against President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn, according to people familiar with the matter.

Mr. Barr has also installed a handful of outside prosecutors to broadly review the handling of other politically sensitive national-security cases in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, the people said. The team includes at least one prosecutor from the office of the United States attorney in St. Louis, Jeff Jensen, who is handling the Flynn matter, as well as prosecutors from the office of the deputy attorney general, Jeffrey A. Rosen.

Recall, AG Barr recently assigned his top counsel Timothy Shea to take over the lingering Mueller cases.

Mueller’s abusive prosecutors went after General Flynn with a vengeance after Comey sent two FBI agents into the White House to ambush Flynn during the Trump transition.

Flynn’s phone calls to Russian Ambassador Kislyak were leaked to the Washington Post and Flynn was ultimately forced out of his job as NatSec Advisor.

The FBI agents who ambushed Flynn about his calls to Kislyak altered their 302 reports in an effort to take him down.

Flynn ended up pleading guilty to making a false statement to the feds after they threatened to go after his son.

General Flynn formally asked to withdraw his guilty plea last month and filed a motion to dismiss the case, accusing federal prosecutors of “egregious government misconduct.”

McConnell Readies Senate For Two Major Pro-Life Bills

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is readying the Senate to vote on two powerful pro-life bills: South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham’s Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy unless it resulted from rape, incest, or the mother’s life were endangered, and Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse’s Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which “in the case of an abortion or attempted abortion that results in a child born alive,” would ensure that a health care provider present must act to preserve the life of the child.

Graham, the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, introduced his bill supported by Judiciary Committee members Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Thom Tillis (R-NC), John Kennedy (R-LA), Mike Crapo (R-ID), John Cornyn (R-TX), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Mike Lee (R-UT).

The Judiciary Committee described the bill thus:

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act would make it illegal for any person to perform, or attempt to perform, an abortion without first making a determination of the probable post-fertilization age of the unborn child. If the post-fertilization age of the unborn child is determined to be 20 weeks or greater, an abortion shall not be performed, unless –

  • It is necessary to save the life of the pregnant woman;
  • The pregnancy is a result of rape and the woman has received medical treatment or counseling at least 48 hours prior to the abortion; or if she chooses to do so, has made a report to law enforcement; or
  • The pregnancy is a result of rape or incest against a minor and the abuse is reported to either social services or law enforcement.

The Committee added, “In the case of the exceptions – the abortion may only proceed in a manner that provides the best opportunity for the unborn child to survive unless that would pose a greater risk of death or serious bodily injury to the pregnant woman; and the abortion provider must receive informed consent from the pregnant woman, certifying that she has been provided the child’s gestational age, a description of the law, and her rights under the law.”

Both bill would require a 60 vote super-majority in the Senate if they hope to break a filibuster; there are 53 GOP senators, but last year three Democrats supported Sasse’s legislation. Sasse has said of the bill, “Picture a baby that’s already been born, that is outside the womb, gasping for air, that’s the only thing that today’s vote is actually about. We’re talking about babies who’ve already been born. Nothing in this bill touches abortion access.”

On Tuesday, Sasses stated, “This hearing is about making sure that every newborn baby has a fighting chance — whether she’s born in a labor and delivery ward or whether she’s born in an abortion clinic.”

On Thursday, Senator John Thune(R-S.D.) slammed Democrats over the issue, saying, “Unfortunately abortion extremism has grown to such an extent in the Democrat Party that leading Democrats — including a Democrat presidential candidate — have not only ruled out banning late-term abortions, they’ve actually refused to rule out infanticide.”

Biologically Male Runner Invited to Compete as Female in US Olympic Trials

Biological male trans athlete Megan Youngren was invited to compete in the US Olympic trials this year.

Youngren will make history as the first openly trans athlete to compete with female athletes in a US Olympic trial.

Megan Youngren credits her invitation with hard work.

It’s funny how this only seems to work for men to women transgenders for some odd reason?

The Daily Caller reported:

A biologically male marathon runner who identifies as a transgender woman is set to compete in the USA Olympic trials later in February.

Megan Youngren “is set to make history on Feb. 29 as the first openly transgender athlete to compete at the U.S. Olympic marathon trials,” Sports Illustrated reported. Youngren qualified for the trials after a strong performance on Dec. 8, 2019 in the California International Marathon.

“People will try to put it down by saying, ‘That’s too easy because you’re trans.’ But what about the 500 other women who will qualify?” Youngren told the magazine. “There’s probably someone with the exact same story.”

“I trained hard. I got lucky. I dodged injuries,” Youngren added. “I raced a lot, and it worked out for me. That’s the story for a lot of other people, too.”

California Court Orders Apple to Pay Employees for Time Lost to Bag Searches

Tech giant Apple, one of the wealthiest companies on Earth, has been ordered by the California Supreme Court to compensate employees for time lost due to mandatory bag and iPhone searches. Employees were allegedly forced to clock out before being searched to ensure that they had not stolen merchandise or trade secrets.

Engadget reports that the Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe at Apple have been ordered by the California Supreme Court to pay employees for lost time due to mandatory bag and iPhone searches in a case that began over six years ago. Apple store employees were being forced to clock out before going through mandatory bag and iPhone searches to ensure that they had not stolen merchandise or trade secrets.

The workers reportedly felt that they were still under Apple’s control for the five to 20 minute time period it took for them to be searched and as a result, should be compensated for their time. Apple argued that the employees could have chosen not to bring their bags or iPhones to work and avoided the searches entirely.

Apple actually won its case in a district court but the case went to the California Supreme Court on appeal where the judges ruled that the workers were “clearly under Apple’s control while awaiting, and during, the exit searches.” The court dismissed Apple’s argument that bringing a bag to work was an employee convenience and focused on the company’s argument that employees did not need to bring their iPhones to work.

“The irony and inconsistency of Apple’s argument must be noted,” the judges wrote. “Its characterization of the iPhone as unnecessary for its own employees is directly at odds with its description of the iPhone as an ‘integrated and integral’ part of the lives of everyone else.” The court referred to an interview with Apple CEO Tim Cook from 2017 in which he stated that the iPhone was “so so integrated and integral to our lives, you wouldn’t think about leaving home without it.”

The court ruled that Apple must pay lost employee wages retroactively back to July 25 2019. The ruling could apply to over 12,400 workers, according to Bloomberg. The case has now been pushed to the Ninth Circuit appeals court to apply the ruling and decide on compensation, which could run as high as $60 million.
