Former U.S. Attorney On Awan Indictment: "There Is Something Very Strange Going On Here" | Zero Hedge

Former U.S. Attorney On Awan Indictment: "There Is Something Very Strange Going On Here" | Zero Hedge:
"We've written frequently over the past couple of months about the litany of unanswered questions surrounding the mysterious case of Debbie Wasserman Schultz's (DWS) IT staffers.  Why did DWS seemingly threaten the chief of the U.S. Capitol Policewith “consequences” for holding equipment that was confiscated as part of an ongoing legal investigation?  
Why did DWS keep Awan on her taxpayer funded payroll all the way up until the day he was arrested by the FBI at Dulles airport while trying to flee the country to Pakistan?  
What, if anything, does the Awan family know about the DNC hacks that may have caused DWS to act in this way?

Now, Andrew McCarthy III, the former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York who led the prosecution against Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman and eleven others for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, says there is "something very strange" about the recent indictment filed against Imran Awan and his wife Hina Alvi in the District of Columbia.

In a National Review article, McCarthy points out that it's not what's in the indictment that is necessarily surprising but rather what is seemingly intentionally omitted. 
For instance, McCarthy points out that "the indictment appears to go out of its way not to mention" that Imran was apprehended while in the process of fleeing the country, a fact that would seem to be the best evidence available to prove the fraud charges..."

Detroit cop turned state lawmaker ignores campaign finance laws

Detroit cop turned state lawmaker ignores campaign finance laws
"The Michigan Legislature has a new challenger for the dubious distinction of being the worst offender against state laws requiring the filing of campaign finance reports.
LANSING — The Michigan Legislature has a new challenger for the dubious distinction of being the worst violator of state campaign finance laws — and it's a former police officer.
Rep. Bettie Cook Scott, D-Detroit, who was returned to the state House in 2016 after a six-year absence, has not filed a single campaign finance report for the 2016 election cycle. She already has $3,000 in late penalties for three required reports on donations and expenditures that her committee never filed.
That means Scott is voting on a wide range of bills with the public having little or no way of knowing who funded her campaign..."

Wait–Obama White House Hid Intelligence On Iran To Push Through Nuclear Deal - Matt Vespa

Wait–Obama White House Hid Intelligence On Iran To Push Through Nuclear Deal - Matt Vespa:

"So, Guy has been very prolific in dissecting and documenting the highly flawed Iranian nuclear agreement, which gave the Obama White House some breathing room regarding possibly using military options to prevent this state-sponsor of terror from acquiring nuclear weapons. Well, as negotiations were occurring between the Iranians, then-Secretary of State John Kerry, and the four other nations that make up the permanent wing of the United Nationals Security Council, the Obama White House hid information that Iran was transporting militants to Syria in order to push through the agreement"

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin won’t commit to Harriet Tubman on $20 bill | New York's PIX11 / WPIX-TV:
"Maybe putting Harriet Tubman on the new $20 bill isn’t a done deal after all.
Back in April 2016, Obama Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, said that the black abolitionist hero would appear on a new version of the bill.
It would be the first time a woman has appeared on U.S. paper currency in over 100 years – and the first time ever for a black woman.
In a CNBC interview that aired Thursday, however, current Treasury leader Steven Mnuchin was asked whether he supports putting Tubman on the $20 bill.
He responded, “Ultimately we will be looking at this issue, [but] It’s not something that I’m focused on at the moment...”

Trump confuses 't-o' and 't-o-o' during Thursday tweet storm:
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Should President Donald Trump thumb through a dictionary before putting his thumbs to work on tweets?
Trump confused “to” and “too” during a series of tweets Thursday morning, getting it right after two tries.
He also replaced “their” with the correct “there” in the same two-part tweet.
Over the weekend, Trump was tripped up by “heel” when he meant to write “heal” in comments about dueling rallies in Boston."

Blog: Charlottesville false narrative crushed by DHS warning

Blog: Charlottesville false narrative crushed by DHS warning:

"Governor Terry McAuliffe's efforts to evade responsibility for the shocking violence at Charlottesville just got even more implausible.  He and local authorities were warned, and yet allowed, if not forced, the two violence-prone parties into such close proximity that violence was a near certainty."

The Reason So Many Kids Can’t Finish College | Intellectual Takeout

The Reason So Many Kids Can’t Finish College | Intellectual Takeout:
"...Is it possible that Los Angeles high schools are simply not giving their students the academic skills that they need in order to make it in higher education?
This seems plausible when one looks at the numbers coming out of the district.
In the 2015-16 school year, 77 percent of Los Angeles seniors completed high school.
This means that three in four high school seniors were proficient in reading, math, and other subjects, right?
Not exactly.
When tested for proficiency in reading and math during their 11th grade year, only 42 percent were able to pass muster in English, while 31 percent did so in math.
...Unfortunately, this state of things may not be limited to Los Angeles.
As former New York City public school teacher and principal Bernard Gassaway recently noted in Education Week, public school officials routinely find loopholes through which they inflate graduation rates. 
These loopholes include allowing failing students to receive course credit for minimal effort, and also “reclassifying general education students” as those with disabilities in order to “become eligible for a lower graduation threshold...”
