Rashida Tlaib just got some very bad news from a House ethics investigation into her use of campaign funds. The investigation just released ...
Rashida Tlaib Violated Campaign Finance Rules House Investigation Finds, Ordered To Pay Back Funds
“Representative Tlaib’s violation of the applicable restrictions was one of bad timing and not ill intent,” the report read.
“Representative Tlaib engaged in good faith efforts to comply with the relevant FECA requirements.” Tlaib must pay to repay $10,800.
“Rep. Tlaib hopes the Federal Election Commission will issue updated guidance clarifying the regulations regarding candidate salaries to allow more working-class candidates to run for Congress,” Tlaib told the Detroit News.
From Mlive:
The House Committee on Ethics ordered Tlaib to repay a $10,800 salary she drew from campaign funds after the 2018 election, closing an investigation that began more than a year ago.
The committee determined no sanction was necessary, concluding that Tlaib “engaged in good faith efforts” to comply with federal regulations and did not seek to enrich herself with campaign donations.
Candidates are permitted to draw a salary from their campaign committee until the date of the general election. Tlaib legally paid herself $45,500 from campaign donations during her first bid for Congress in 2018, a report released Friday found she violated finance regulations by collecting payments after the election.
“These payments allowed her to forego her salary from her full-time employment so that she could fully participate in campaign activities,” the report read. “However, because she received some of those funds, totaling $10,800, for time periods in which she was no longer a congressional candidate, those funds were inconsistent with FECA’s personal use restrictions.”
Tlaib’s campaign independently researched whether she could be paid with campaign funds and consulted former Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer on the issue. Documents included in the report found staff noted that payments needed to stop after the general election, and ultimately the committee found Tlaib’s violation was “one of bad timing.”
The investigation was closed just three days after Tlaib won the 13th District Democratic primary. Tlaib is seeking a second two-year term representing the predominantly Democratic district

John Brennan To Testify In Durham Probe As Bill Barr Closes In On Obama Admin Officials
“There was definitely Russian, uh, interference,” Bill Barr said in June. “I think Durham is looking at the intelligence community’s ICA — the report that they did in December 2016. And he’s sort of examining all the information that was based on, the basis for their conclusions. So to that extent, I still have an open mind, depending on what he finds.”
Today we find that the Durham probe is winding up and John Brennan will testify in the investigation into what in the hell happened in 2016.
This is not good news for Brennan and others who have been fiercely anti-Trump in their tone, rhetoric, and actions. We will soon find out if they crossed the line and committed criminal acts in the zeal to take down Trump.
From NBC:
The investigation ordered by Attorney General William Barr into how the CIA and the FBI looked into the Trump campaign’s connections to Russia’s 2016 election interference operation may be nearing a conclusion, people familiar with it say.
One indication is that the prosecutor in charge, Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, has asked to interview former CIA Director John Brennan, according to a person familiar with the request. Brennan has agreed to be interviewed, and the details are being worked out, the person said.
Attorney General William Barr told Congress last month that he would not wait until after the election to present Durham’s findings if they are finalized.
Barr has made clear he believes Obama administration officials acted wrongfully when they opened a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign’s dealings with Russians, but the Justice Department’s inspector general found that the investigation was justified and untainted by political bias.
Democrats in Congress and elsewhere say the Barr-Durham investigation smacks of a politically motivated effort to help President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign.
Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump and an NBC News analyst, has been the subject of intense scrutiny by Durham. Brennan was director of the CIA from 2013 until the day of Trump’s inauguration. The New York Times reported in December that the prosecutor was reviewing Brennan’s emails, call logs and other records, which was confirmed to NBC News by a person familiar with the matter.
Durham is looking into whether Brennan took politicized actions to pressure the rest of the intelligence community to match his conclusions about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s motivations, according to sources cited by the Wall Street Journal.
These sources said Durham has been interviewing CIA officials this year, focusing on the National Intelligence Council, a center within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversaw the collaboration between the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency in putting together the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian meddling. Barr confirmed Durham is scrutinizing the assessment.
“There was definitely Russian, uh, interference,” Barr said in June. “I think Durham is looking at the intelligence community’s ICA — the report that they did in December [2016]. And he’s sort of examining all the information that was based on, the basis for their conclusions. So to that extent, I still have an open mind, depending on what he finds.”
The 2017 assessment concluded with “high confidence” that Putin “ordered an influence campaign in 2016,” and Russia worked to “undermine public faith” in U.S. democracy, “denigrate” former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, “harm her electability and potential presidency,” and “developed a clear preference” for Donald Trump.
The NSA diverged on one aspect, expressing only “moderate confidence” that Putin actively tried to help Trump win and Clinton lose.
The Senate Intelligence Committee released a report in April defending the intelligence community assessment, saying that Senate investigators found no evidence of political pressure to reach a specific conclusion and determining that the assessments by the CIA, FBI, and NSA present “a coherent and well-constructed intelligence basis for the case of unprecedented Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.”

Ted Cruz Knocks Oprah Winfrey Off High Horse Over Whiteness Comment: “What Utter Racist BS”
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is done playing games and knocked Oprah Winfrey right off her high horse for her stunning comments where she said white privilege is an “advantage.”
“Billionaire Oprah lectures the rest of us: ‘You still have your whiteness. That’s what the term “white privilege” is,” Ted Cruz said.
“It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter. What utter, racist BS,” he added. From The Hill:
During an episode with Emmanuel Acho, a former NFL linebacker and the host of the web series “Uncomfortable Conversation with a Black Man,” Winfrey discussed racism in America and white privilege.
The 66-year-old host said that white people have a “leg up.”
“There are white people who are not as powerful as the system of white people — the caste system that’s been put in place — but they still, no matter where they are on the rung, or the ladder of success, they still have their whiteness,” she said.
“You still have your whiteness. That’s what the term ‘white privilege’ is. It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter,” she continued.
Acho called on white parents to help teach their children how to be anti-racist.
“Here’s what I told my friends with their white children,” he began. “I said, ‘Y’all live in a white cul-de-sac, in a white neighborhood, in a white city, in a white state. If you were not careful, your children will live their whole white life, and at 26, 27, they’ll end up being a part of the problem, because you just let them and allowed them to live a completely white, sheltered and cultureless life.”
He added that white people “run American.”
“CEOs, Fortune 500 companies, execs, ownership, they run America. Not an individual white person, but collective white people,” he continued. “I firmly believe that if the white person is your problem, only the white person can be your solution.”
The episode comes amid a time of national conversation around racial inequality and police brutality following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man who was killed in police custody. A white officer was seen kneeling on his neck for several minutes while Floyd said he could not breathe.
Winfrey recently sought to bring attention to the death of Breonna Taylor, a Black EMT killed by police in Louisville, Ky., by using Taylor’s image on the cover of O magazine. It was the first time someone other than Winfrey has graced the cover.
Cruz was not the only conservative who knocked Winfrey for discussing white privilege as a billionaire
Irene Armendariz-Jackson, a GOP congressional candidate running in Texas, tweeted: “And now why is Oprah, maybe the richest black woman in the world, trying to shame white people as privileged? Miss Winfrey, you are the personification of WHITE PRIVILEGE!”

Bill Clinton Breaks Silence, Denies Visiting Epstein’s Island Despite Eyewitness Testimony
Bill Clinton is desperate to repair the damage to his legacy after bombshell testimony was released by a judge in an Epstein related matter. In that testimony, an eyewitness placed Bill on Jeffrey Epstein’s island with two young women and it is hard to imagine you would forget meeting or seeing a US President up close. Even one out of office.
Now, Angel Urena, a spokesperson for Clinton said Bill “has never been to the island” in the Caribbean where Epstein built his estate.
The testimony of a young victim named Virginia Giuffre says Bill was there. In the questioning by lawyer Jack Scarola, Guiffre was asked, “Do you have any recollection of Jeffrey Epstein’s specifically telling you that ‘Bill Clinton owes me favors?'”
“Yes, I do,” Guiffre answered. “It was a laugh though. He would laugh it off. You know, I remember asking Jeffrey what’s Bill Clinton doing here on Epstein’s island kind of thing, and he laughed it off and said well he owes me favors.”
“He never told me what favors they were,” Guiffre continued. “I never knew. I didn’t know if he was serious. It was just a joke… He told me a long time ago that everyone owes him favors. They’re all in each other’s pockets.”
This is the transcript that will doom Bill Clinton and Hillary right there with him for all of history.
JS: When you say you asked him why is Bill Clinton here, where was here?
Roberts: On the island.
JS: When you were present with Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton on the island, who else was there?
Roberts: Ghislaine, Emmy, and there was two young girls that I could identify. I never really knew them well anyways. It was just 2 girls from New York.
JS: And were all of you staying at Jeffrey’s house on the island including Bill Clinton? Roberts: That’s correct.
He had about 4 or 5 different villas on his island separate from the main house, and we all stayed in the villas.
JS: Were sexual orgies a regular occurrences at the island of Jeffrey’s house?
Roberts: Yes.

Barack Obama Takes Veiled Swipe At President Trump During John Lewis’ Funeral
Obama called for an end to the Senate filibuster sending shockwaves through the crowd before he turned to Trump. He didn’t mention him by name but there was no mistaking who Obama meant.
“You want to honor John, let’s honor him by revitalizing the law that he was willing to die for. We can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas & batons against peaceful demonstrators. There are those in power–undermining the postal service in run-up to an election that’s going to be dependent on mail-in ballots so people don’t get sick,” Barack added.
From The Daily Caller: Former President Barack Obama targeted President Donald Trump in his speech Thursday at the funeral for Democratic Georgia Rep. John Lewis, criticizing his successor’s handling of the George Floyd protests.
Obama highlighted Trump’s decision to send federal agents to Portland, saying they used “tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators,” as well as Trump’s opposition to increased funding for the postal service given how necessary it may be on November 3rd.
“Even as we sit here there are those in power who are doing their darnedest to discourage people from voting by closing polling locations, and targeting minorities and students with restrictive I.D. laws, and attacking our voting rights with surgical precision, even undermining the postal service in the run-up to an election that’s gonna be dependent on mail-in ballots so people don’t get sick,” Obama said.
From The Hill: Former President Obama on Thursday called the Senate filibuster rule a “Jim Crow relic” and said it should be ended to pass legislation that would restore a key provision of the Voting Rights Act.
Obama made the remarks while delivering a eulogy for civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), who died earlier this month at the age of 80. The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act would make it harder for states to enact racially suspect voting restrictions.
“Once we pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, we should keep marching,” Obama said. “And if all this takes eliminating the filibuster — another Jim Crow relic — in order to secure the God-given rights of every American, then that’s what we should do.”
The former president’s support for nixing the filibuster — a procedural tactic that requires 60 votes for legislation to proceed — is likely to spark intense political debate. If Democrats win back both the Senate and the White House, they will be under pressure to get rid of the filibuster rule in order to push through high-priority legislation.
Changing Senate rules through a simple majority, a move sometimes referred to as the “nuclear option,” would be highly controversial, and it’s unclear if Democrats would have the political will or the votes needed to end the procedure.
But doing so would allow a Democratic-controlled Senate to pass measures like the Lewis bill on voting rights.
That measure is a response to the Supreme Court’s 2013 decision in Shelby County v. Holder, a 5-4 ruling that struck down Section 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The provision required states with a recent history of racism at the ballot box to get federal approval — or preclearance — before changing their voting laws.

A Dem lawmaker from Tennessee just got some very bad news. She was just charged with stealing $600,000 in federal funds. What did she use...
Feds Charge Dem Lawmaker With Theft, Embezzlement, Wire Fraud In Tennessee
Despite the charges, state Sen. Katrina Robinson says she will stay on the job, “with the same integrity, the same passion that I’ve demonstrated since you’ve elected me to this office. It is believed that if I were not in the position that I’m in, that if I did not champion the voices, the views and the faces that I represent, that I would not be in this moment right now,” Robinson said.
From The New York Post: A Tennessee state senator was charged with swindling $600,000 in federal funds to pay for her wedding and finance a lavish lifestyle, federal prosecutors announced Wednesday.
From 2015 to 2019, state Sen. Katrina Robinson is accused of stealing the money that was granted to The Healthcare Institute — a company she directed, according to prosecutors.
In addition to covering her wedding costs, Robinson, a Democrat from a Memphis district elected in 2018, is charged with using the funds to pay for her honeymoon and pay legal fees for her divorce, the feds charge.
With the stolen money the lawmaker also paid for her daughter’s 2016 Jeep Renegade, home improvements, a $500 Louis Vuitton handbag and invested in a snow cone business run by her children, prosecutors and the FBI said.
Robinson was charged with theft, embezzlement and wire fraud.

Ted Cruz Takes On Nancy Pelosi, Accuses The Speaker Of Just “Shoveling Money To Her Friends”
And in particular, you look at the three trillion dollar bill she’s trying to push. It’s just shoveling money to her friends and not actually solving the problem.I just listened to your interview with Speaker Pelosi … her objectives are shoveling cash at the problem and shutting America down.
Our objective should be Americans want to get back to work. They want to be able to provide for their family.
The only objective Democrats have is to defeat Donald Trump, and they’ve cynically decided the best way to defeat Donald Trump is shut down every business in America, shut down every school in America.
Key Takeaways:
- Sen. Ted Cruz has accused Speaker Nancy Pelosi of “shoveling money to her friends.”
- He says too many people are earning more on unemployment than they ever did at their jobs.
- He also said Pelosi’s bill will give tax breaks to wealthy residents in Blue states.
