Email Shows Archives Asked For Docs Back In May 2021

The Washington Post reports:

About two dozen boxes of presidential records stored in then-president Donald Trump’s White House residence were not returned to the National Archives and Records Administration in the final days of his term even after Archives officials were told by a Trump lawyer that the documents should be returned, according to an email from the top lawyer at the record-keeping agency.

The previously unreported email — sent about 100 days after the former president left office with the subject line “Need for Assistance re Presidential Records” — shows just how early Archives officials realized that many documents were missing from the Trump White House. It also illustrates the myriad efforts Archives officials made to have the documents returned over an 18-month period, culminating with an FBI raid earlier this month at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

In a May 2021 email to Trump’s lawyers, National Archives chief counsel Gary Stern said that WH counsel Cipollone had told Trump 24 boxes of materials he kept in the WH residence during his last year as POTUS had to be transferred to the National Archives.https://t.co/gZL4rkYPKj

“If the FBI …” … from a liberal point of view this makes no logical sense, but that’s because it is expressing an authoritarian viewpoint. To an authoritarian it is deeply unsettling to see the top guy treated just like an ordinary person – it upsets their entire hierarchical authoritarian world view.

In the authoritarian world view people form a hierarchy – you can push around the people beneath you, but have to defer to the people above. There is no one above the president, so if he can be charged with a crime it means society has entered a state of anarchy. If they can do this to the president, it means the people you dominate could turn the tables and dominate you; the police might even start harassing the rich people instead of the poor people.

You would think that the presence of top-secret documents at an unauthorized, unsecured location would warrant immediate action to recover them.

Dr. Oz Asked Trump Admin to Clear ‘Potential Pandemic Solution’ Hydroxychloroquine in Leaked Emails

Dr. Oz Asked Trump Admin to Clear ‘Potential Pandemic Solution’ Hydroxychloroquine in Leaked Emails

Mehmet Oz petitioned top White House officials to green light the use of the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine in March of 2020, newly released emails show.

The drug, which never showed any success at fighting Covid-19 in spite of multiple trials, was presented by Oz as a “potential pandemic solution” in emails to Dr. Deborah Birx and others.

Dan Diamond of the Washington Post obtained emails, text messages, and other correspondence from a congressional panel probing the response to the pandemic.

During the initial days of the spread of Covid, on March 23, 2020, Jared Kushner responded to an email from Oz with a subject that read, “Oz French Study Game Plan.” The email was about a European trial regarding how Covid-infected patients reacted to hydroxychloroquine.

Kushner wrote, “What do u recommend to speed it up?”

Oz responded by portraying the drug, which was at that point being invoked by former President Donald Trump in media briefings, as a “potential pandemic solution.”

Kushner responded, “I believe the clinical trials are starting this week.”

Oz responded with a lengthy message about the trial, and the need for one in the U.S. He also sent Kushner a video link to a segment from his show.

In a separate email to Birx, Oz asked to recruit patients for a trial.

“I will personally recruit patients and pay for trial,” Oz wrote on March 22, 2020. “We have manpower since elective surgery is canceled. We just need drugs.”

On March 28, 2020, Birx forwarded an email from Oz to then-FDA head Stephen Hahn.

“We should talk,” she said while relaying a message from Oz with a claim that using the drug for Covid was safe and noted a “reduction in infectivity within a week.”

Hydroxychloroquine was dismissed by most of the medical community, minus a few outliers, early on during the pandemic.

The emails have been released amid reports the Trump administration pressured the FDA to rush emergency use authorization for vaccines.

The Far Right’s Hateful Anti-LGBTQ Rhetoric Has Become Genocidal

Arkansas Cops Caught on Tape Brutally Attacking Man

Wow this guy is white and they beat the crap out of him. I would be surprised if he doesn’t have permanent lifelong health issues and harm from this. While three of them hold him down they bang his head on the concrete, they kick and stomp on him, and one guy knees him repeatedly either in the kidneys which will destroy them, or on his hip which will crumble it. No matter what the man might have done this is not the job of the police, this is a gang of thugs. Police have the job of arresting / detaining people for trial, not administering vigilante justice.

“Three police officers in Arkansas were taken off duty after they were caught on camera beating up a suspect they were placed under arrest.

The video blew up when it was posted to social media on Sunday, showing an officer and two deputies as they pinned a man to the ground and repeatedly struck him outside a convenience store. Crawford County Sheriff Jimmy Damante said to the media, announcing two of his deputies would be suspended while Arkansas state police and the sheriff’s office investigate the incident.

“About the video circulating social media involving two Crawford County deputies, we have requested that Arkansas State Police conduct the investigation, and the deputies have been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation,” Damante’s office announced. “I hold all my employees accountable for their actions and will take appropriate measures in this matter.”*

Right Wing Lunatic Accidentally Makes A Sexual Reference While Spewing Hatred

It is hard for me to accept this guy is serious and not a troll. He is so over the top anti-trans anti-LGBTQ+ that he seems to be mocking the very things he is shouting. However there are people on the right now that act like this and are this delusional. He talked about the LGBTQ mafia. Cenk explains how they are a minority trying to force the majority to do as they demand. Cenk explains also that in some places dominated by the right the 40% of the kids seriously think of committing sucide due to the harrasment of these people. Yet some thing kids are gay and trans because it is cool. LGBTQ+ ki Hugs
