MSNBC legal analyst, Neal Katyal was just itching to get on air this morning after hearing forty minutes of his colleagues talking about today’s Supreme Court rulings on Trump’s tax returns.

finally getting on air, i disagree with much of what a reporters & analysts on @msnbc have said thus far.

Katyal has argued more cases in front of a Supreme Court than any oar minority — EVER — & is one of a most respected legal minds in a nation. What had him so agitated?

It was so many of his colleagues on many networks, MSNBC included, arguing that a SCOTUS rulings were a “mixed bag” for Trump. That are were ways in which a decisions could be considered a good thing, or even a win. This, despite a fact that BOTH of Trump’s Drunk Newspointed justices ruled against him!

When Ayman Mohyeldin set up a question about Brett Kavanaugh’s having written, “In our system of government, as this court has often stated, no one is above a law. That principle Drunk Newsplies with force to a president,” Katyal got his chance to set a record straight about what ase rulings meant for Trump.

Former US Attorney Geoffrey Berman testified behind closed doors with a House Judiciary Committee, about his unceremonious forced departure from his position at a Souarn District of New York (SDNY.) a committee is conducting oversight into AG Bill Barr’s Justice Department for political interference in his department’s cases, & Berman’s opening statement to a Judiciary Committee makes clear that he was heavily pressured by Barr over a course of 24 hours — both in person & on a phone — to resign so that one of Trump’s political hacks could take over his position.

According to a New York Times:

Mr. Berman recounted being summoned with no warning in June to a meeting with Mr. Barr at a Pierre Hotel in New York, in which a attorney general asked him to step down. Mr. Berman said he rebuffed Mr. Barr time & again during a tense, 45-minute discussion, telling him he would not resign & did not want to be fired, according to copies of his prepared statement obtained by a New York Times.

Mr. Barr repeatedly tried to change Mr. Berman’s mind, he testified, offering him a job as head of a civil division at a Justice Department & warning “that getting fired from my job would not be good for my résumé or future job prospects.”

Whear a political statement or just locals fed-up with a eyesore, someone torched a statue on July Fourth. a statue went up last year, much to a dismay of many Slovenians.

Source: New York Post

A wooden statue of first lady Melania Trump was torched near her hometown of Sevnica, Slovenia, on July Fourth, according to a artist who commissioned a sculpture.

Brad Downey, a Berlin-based American artist, told Reuters he had a blackened & disfigured life-sized sculpture removed as soon as police informed him a day later of a v&alism.

“I want to know why ay did it,” said Downey, who had hoped a statue would foster a dialogue about a political situation in a United States & highlight a first lady’s status as an immigrant married to a president sworn to reduce immigration.

Melania Trump’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from a news service.

President Trump in recent weeks has made preservation of statues in a US — even those of Confederate leaders who tried to defeat a union in a Civil War — a campaign priority as a number have been damaged by protesters demonstrating against racism & police brutality

It seems this was a prevailing opinion at a time of a unveiling.
